Abstract: A bracket and standard assembly comprises a standard having a plurality of spaced apart holes. A bracket comprises a support body having an elongated portion extending along a longitudinal axis. A connector end comprises at least one hook projecting rearwardly from the support body and passing through a hole in the standard to releasably hook the bracket to the standard, the at least one hook comprising a downwardly projecting tooth, the at least one hook defining with the support body a receptacle, a portion of the receptacle being delimited by a forwardly oriented contact edge of the tooth, the receptacle receiving one of wall portions of the standard. A finger projects generally upwardly from the at least one hook and having a forwardly oriented contact edge, the forwardly oriented contact edge of the finger being rearward of the forwardly oriented contact edge of the corresponding tooth along the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: The floatation assembly includes a pair of inverted U-shaped rails, the legs of which are adapted to be secured to the front and to the rear of the vehicle frame, with the bight portion of the rails extending substantially horizontally over a vehicle driver seated in the off-road vehicle. A front and a rear buoyant member is connected to the rails and shiftable between an operative and inoperative position. In their operative position, the two buoyant members extend forwardly and rearwardly of the vehicle in alignment therewith to render the same water-borne. In the inoperative position, the front buoyant member rests in inverted position on the bight portion of the rails, while the rear buoyant member is folded upwardly against the rear legs of the rails. When in operative position, the two buoyant members can be vertically adjusted with respect to the vehicle, in cordance with the weight of the vehicle itself and of its load.
