Patent number: 9511704Abstract: An anchor comprises first, second and third flanges. A surface of the first flange facing the second flange defines a plane. A contour of the first flange projected onto the plane extending beyond a contour of the second flange projected onto the plane. A base connecting part includes the third flange and the second flange. An accessory connecting part operatively connected to the base connecting part includes the first flange. The third flange is movable relative to at least one of the first and second flanges between a first position and a second position. In the first position, a contour of the third flange projected onto the plane is contained within the contour of the second flange projected onto the plane. In the second position, the contour of the third flange projected onto the plane extends beyond the contour of the second flange projected onto the plane.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2014Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: BOMBARDIER RECREATIONAL PRODUCTS INC.Inventors: Alain Massicotte, Ivan Brousseau, Francois Chenevert, Thierry Cotnoir, Vincent Tognon

Patent number: 9505335Abstract: An anchor and an attachment base assembly comprises a base having at least one base aperture, and an anchor selectively operatively connected to the base. The anchor is selectively inserted at least partially into the at least one base aperture and optionally into an aperture of an accessory. The anchor has a base part movable between a locked position where the anchor is secured to the base and an unlocked position where the anchor is free from the base. An accessory part is operatively connected to the base part. The accessory part is adapted to selectively connect at least partially to a brim of the aperture of the accessory for bracing at least partially the accessory to the base when the anchor is in the locked position. The anchor has other features. A vehicle having an anchor and an attachment base assembly is also presented.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: BOMBARDIER RECREATIONAL PRODUCTS INC.Inventors: Alain Massicotte, Ivan Brousseau, Thierry Cotnoir, Francois Chenevert
