  • Publication number: 20090039231
    Abstract: An attachment device comprising a base unit that is secured to a vehicle, and a gripping unit that can be easily attached to and removed from the base unit. Pool cleaning poles, or other elongated members such as gardening tools, ladders, and skis, of various dimensions can be secured to the gripping unit. This allows the pole to be easily secured to a vehicle yet also easily removed from the vehicle while still attached to the gripping unit. Once the poles are secured to the gripping unit, the gripping unit easily slides into the base unit, securing it and the poles to the vehicle. Because the gripping unit is separate from the base unit, gripping units of various sizes can be interchangeably used, allowing for the securing of one or more poles to one base unit. The same device can be used in a garage or other storage facility.
