Patent ID: 7845591

Claim:
A knee wrap winding apparatus for wrapping a knee wrap, having a knee wrap thickness and a knee wrap width, tightly around itself in a roll, the apparatus comprising: (a) a main shaft having an outer surface defining a drill insertion tip at a first shaft end and a hole formed in a second, opposite shaft end defining a barrel of a predetermined diameter that is substantially coaxial with an axis of the main shaft; (b) a retaining pin rigidly mounted to the main shaft at a first pin end between the first shaft end and the second shaft end, the retaining pin having a second, opposite pin end extending away from the first pin end toward the second shaft end, wherein the retaining pin is spaced from the main shaft a distance at least as great as about the knee wrap thickness and the knee wrap is held between an outer surface of the retaining pin and the outer surface of the main shaft; and (c) a selector pin removably mounted in the barrel and rotates relative to the main shaft for allowing a user to grip the selector pin and stabilize the winding apparatus while the main shaft is rotated and the knee wrap is collected around the main shaft and the retaining pin, the selector pin having an outer diameter that is not substantially greater than the predetermined diameter of the barrel.
