Zusammenfassung:A winch is described that includes a motor and a driveshaft coupled to the motor for rotation about its axis. A first and second spool are mounted to the drive shaft so that rotation of the driveshaft causes rotation of the first and second spool. A first line is attached to the first spool and a second line is attached to the second spool. First and second line guides are configured to wind the lines in a helical path on the respective spools when the driveshaft is rotated in one direction and to unwind the lines from the helical path when the driveshaft is rotated in an opposite direction. Each line guide is further configured to translate axially along the first spool to facilitate winding and unwinding along the respective helical path.
