Abstract
Abstract Apparatus for mounting a winch on a trailer comprises an upright body having its lower end slideably and removably accommodated in a sleeve mounted at one end of the supporting bed of a trailer. At its upper end the body carries a rotary winch and a force transmitting line that is adapted to be attached to an article that is to be supported on the trailer. Between its ends the body carries a laterally projecting foot which overlies the trailer bed, a brace extending between and being connected to both the foot and the body. Releasable latch means are carried at the lower end of the body to prevent inadvertent removal of the latter from the sleeve.
