  • Compensating angle offset safety winch bar
    Patent number: 7837178
    Abstract: Applicant provides an offset safety winch bar to remove the handle portion of a winch bar from a hazard zone created by the offset angle of the winch bar for safety in winching strap spools attached to flatbed trailers. An offset safety winch bar includes a spool insert insertable into a flatbed trailer winch spool hole; a body connected to said spool insert; and a handle connected to said body, wherein said spool insert is at an offset angle from said body, and said body has one or more compensating angles to intersect a portion of said handle with the longitudinal axis of said spool insert. The compensating angles can place the longitudinal axis of said handle aligned upon the longitudinal axis of the spool insert.
