  • Patent number: 7665766
    Abstract: A Safety Attachment which does not allow the All Terrain Vehicles front end to lift off the ground more than a specified distance and eliminate a backwards overturn, when such vehicles are driven by one or more people up an incline of sufficient grade so as to cause the lighter-weighted front end of the vehicle to lift off the ground. There is also an adjustment on the safety attachment to give the invention further clearance from the ground to suit the more rugged terrain but enough clearance so the front end lifts up only within a safe determined distance. This invention, which consists of; 2 frames that are hinged together on the top and an adjustment on the bottom, one side attaches permanently to the back end of the ATV, the other side attaches to a removal safety device which is secured in place by locking pins and within this safety device a gasoline container can be housed.
