METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SWINGING LINE
First Claim
1. Apparatus for swinging a flexible line about an imaginary axis comprising:
- an elongate body extending along a centerline between a head end at which the imaginary axis is located and a tail end opposite the head end;
a motor mounted remote from the head end of the body having an output; and
a head rotatably mounted on the head end of the body and operatively connected to the motor output for rotation about the imaginary axis in response to operation of the motor, said head having a curved passage extending from an inlet directed generally along the imaginary axis into which the flexible line is feedable to an outlet directed generally lateral to the imaginary axis through which the line is extendable, said passage being sized for passing the line from the inlet to the outlet.

Abstract
Apparatus for swinging a flexible line about an imaginary axis. The apparatus includes an elongate body extending along a centerline between a head end at which the imaginary axis is located and a tail end opposite the head end. The apparatus includes a motor mounted remote from the head end of the body having an output and a head rotatably mounted on the head end of the body. The head is operatively connected to the motor output for rotation about the imaginary axis in response to operation of the motor. The head has a curved passage extending from an inlet directed generally along the imaginary axis into which the flexible line is feedable to an outlet directed generally lateral to the imaginary axis through which the line is extendable. The passage is sized for passing the line from the inlet to the outlet.
