  • Patent number: 5967241
    Abstract: An ATV lift handle is provided for an all terrain vehicle having a vertically movable blade at the forward end thereof. The vertical movement of the blade is controlled by a lift handle positioned rearwardly thereof and which is pivotally mounted on a lift handle bracket. The lift handle bracket has a locking pin movably mounted thereon which protrudes outwardly and rearwardly therefrom when in its extended locked position. The locking pin is movable from its extended locked position to a retracted non-locking position against the resiliency of a spring operatively connected thereto. When it is desired to lock the blade in its upper non-working position, the lift handle is pivotally moved rearwardly of the protruding locking pin and is placed in engagement therewith to prevent the lift handle from moving forwardly.

  • Patent number: 5615745
    Abstract: An all terrain vehicle having a vertically movable blade at the forward end thereof is described wherein the vertical movement of the blade is controlled by a lift handle positioned rearwardly thereof and which is pivotally mounted on a lift handle bracket. The lift handle has a locking pin mounted thereon which is positioned rearwardly of the rearward end of the lift handle bracket when the blade is in its raised position. When it is desired to lower the blade, the lift handle is pivotally moved with respect to the lift handle bracket to disengage the locking pin with respect to the rear end of a lift handle bracket. A rub block is positioned on the outer surface of the lift handle bracket for engagement with the lift handle to prevent the locking pin from wearing or cutting a groove in the lift handle bracket.
