The capstan comprising means for the evaluation of the voltage of one end wound around and the automatic selection means of at least one speed as a function of said voltage.

摘要

The capstan (10) intended to be secured to a sailboat for tensioning one end integral with a web, the capstan (10), including: - a fixed frame (11) accommodating a shaft (14) and a gear box; - a head (12) around which can be wound, said end, said head (12) being mounted movable in rotation in a single direction around said frame (11) and connected to said shaft (14) via the said box, the rotation of the shaft (14) is accompanied by a rotation of said head (12) around the said frame (11). According to the invention, such a winch comprises means for evaluating the voltage of said end and the selection means of at least one speed when said voltage becomes greater than a predetermined threshold.
