A winch strap anchor for securing the strap of a winch to the winch drum proximate the hub to maintain a low profile and eliminate crank force irregularities. The anchor is secured to the walls of the drum and is configured to lie against the winch hub thereby minimizing the eccentric winding of the strap onto the winch. The anchor includes a longitudinal slot for receiving the strap to secure the strap to the anchor. The anchor with the strap attached can be manually attached to the winch drum securing the strap.

In a winch assembly for winding and unwinding a tie means to pull and deploy a structure, the winch assembly including a selectively rotatable winch drum having an axial hub and a pair of parallel drum walls, the improvement comprising: an anchor plate for fastening the tie means to the winch drum, said drum walls including aligned substantially V-shaped apertures with the apex proximate said axial hub, the ends of said anchor plate being inserted into said apertures to detachably mount said anchor plate to said winch drum whereby said anchor plate ends can travel along respective arms of the V-shaped apertures, said anchor plate lying in close proximity to the axial hub upon winding the tie means to facilitate substantially concentric winding of the tie means thereby reducing irregular cranking force of the winch assembly.
