Abstract:
The invention describes a winch for nautical use or for devices for lifting and lowering on a rope, comprising a fixed stator body and a rotor body fixedly connected to the stator body. The rotor body is able to rotate around a longitudinal axis to wind a rope on its outer surface. The winch is provided with a self-tailing device in turn comprising two half-pulleys, a lower half-pulley and an upper half-pulley, mounted opposite one another and coaxial to the rotor body. The two half-pulleys, at the upper portion of the outer surface of the rotor body, define a circumferential throat intended to at least partially house a winding of the rope. One half-pulley is fixed with respect to the rotor body and the other half-pulley is moveable parallel to the longitudinal axis to vary the dimensions of the circumferential throat. Advantageously, the winch comprises a device for adjusting the position of the mobile half-pulley along the longitudinal axis; the adjustment device is able to be activated by the user in real time and in all conditions of use of the winch.

Claim (Index 13):
Method for manoeuvring a rope ( 4 ) by means of a winch ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , the method comprising the steps of:\n e) winding the rope on the rotor body of the winch ( 1 ) and inserting it into the circumferential throat ( 63 ) of the relative self-tailing device ( 6 ); f) applying a tension on the rope ( 4 ) setting the rotor body ( 3 ) and the self-tailing device of the winch ( 6 ) in rotation; g) acting upon said adjustment device ( 11 ) to take the mobile half-pulley ( 61 ) away from the fixed half-pulley ( 62 ), increasing the wheelbase of said circumferential throat ( 63 ), and surging at least one section of said rope ( 4 ) without it completely disengaging said self-tailing device ( 6 ).
