A portable hoist assembly having a housing. The housing has a recoil spring secured thereto wherein the recoil spring is secured to a cable spool such that constant tension is provided on the cable spool. The cable spool contains a cable that is secured thereto and has a hook member secured at a first end. An actuating member having a self contained power source and connected to the cable is thus operable to feed and retract the cable.

What is claimed is: 1. A portable hoist assembly comprising: a housing having an outer cover and a frame hinged together; a recoil spring positioned within the housing and secured to the housing such that constant pressure is provided on a cable spool that is connected coaxially to the recoil spring; a cable retractably disposed about the cable spool; a hook member secured to the cable; and an actuating member connected to the cable and operable to feed and retract the cable having a self contained power source and an output shaft non-coaxial with the spool. 2. The portable hoist assembly of claim 1 wherein the actuating member is connected to the cable via a gear box. 3. The portable hoist assembly of claim 1 wherein the hook member is secured to the cable via a cable bracket. 4. The portable hoist assembly of claim 1 wherein the cover retracts away from the frame to allow access to an interior of the housing. 5. The portable hoist assembly of claim 1 wherein the actuating member is a cordless drill. 6. The portable hoist assembly of claim 5 wherein the cordless drill is powered by a battery. 7. The portable hoist assembly of claim 1 further comprising a two position control switch electrically connected to the actuating member. 8. The portable hoist assembly of claim 1 further comprising split cable bushings attached to the housing and around the cable to provide a friction resistant guide for the cable. 9. The portable hoist assembly of claim 1 further comprising an upper limit switch attached to the housing and electrically connected to the actuating member. 10. The portable hoist assembly of claim 9 further comprising a limit trip affixed to the cable wherein when contacting the upper limit switch deactivates the actuating member. 11. The portable hoist assembly of claim 1 further comprising a lower limit switch affixed to the cable and electrically connected to the actuating member. 12. The portable hoist assembly of claim 11 further comprising a limit trip affixed to the cable wherein when contacting the lower limit switch deactivates the actuating member. 13. The portable hoist assembly of claim 1 wherein the actuating member is positioned within the housing. 14. A portable hoist assembly comprising: a housing having an outer cover and a frame hinged together; a recoil spring positioned within the housing and secured to the housing such that constant pressure is provided on a cable spool that is connected coaxially to the recoil spring; a cable retractably disposed about the cable spool; a hook member secured to the cable; and an actuating member positioned within the housing and connected to the cable and operable to feed and retract the cable having a self contained power source and an output shaft non-coaxial with the spool. 15. A portable hoist assembly comprising: a housing having an outer cover and a frame hinged together; a recoil spring positioned within the housing and secured to the housing such that constant pressure is provided on a cable spool that is connected coaxially to the recoil spring; a cable retractably disposed about the cable spool; a hook member secured to the cable; an actuating member and connected to the cable and operable to feed and retract the cable having a self contained power source and an output shaft non-coaxial with the spool; and wherein the actuating member is connected to the cable via a gear box positioned within the housing.
