An ATV tie down rack system for securing an ATV to a trailer or the bed of a pickup without requiring tie-down straps. The inventive device includes a tube member, a center bracket having two apertures extending from the tube member, a first support member attached to the tube member, a second support member attached to the tube member opposite of the first support member, a catch member having a U-shape rotatably positioned within the tube member, a pair of angled members extending orthogonally from the distal ends of the catch member, a first ratchet having a first strap, and a second ratchet having a second strap. The first strap and the second strap are slidably attached to the catch member and the angled members for allowing them to be easily moved away from the path of the tire of the ATV. The first ratchet and the second ratchet are utilized to tighten the respective straps about the tires of the ATV thereby retaining the ATV upon the trailer or pickup. The pair of apertures within the center bracket allow the tube member to be attached utilizing a threaded shaft as is commonly found in a snowmobile trailer, or conventional fasteners may be inserted through the apertures for retaining the tube member in the desired location such as the bed of a pickup. The first support member and the second support member preferably have a V-portion for snugly receiving the tires of the ATV. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of ATV securing devices now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new ATV tie down rack system construction wherein the same can be utilized for securing an ATV to a trailer or the bed of a pickup without requiring tie-down straps.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new ATV tie down rack system that has many of the advantages of the ATV securing devices mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new ATV tie down rack system which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art ATV securing devices, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention generally comprises a tube member, a center bracket having two apertures extending from the tube member, a first support member attached to the tube member, a second support member attached to the tube member opposite of the first support member, a catch member having a U-shape rotatably positioned within the tube member, a pair of angled members extending orthogonally from the distal ends of the catch member, a first ratchet having a first strap, and a second ratchet having a second strap.
The first strap and the second strap are slidably attached to the catch member and the angled members for allowing them to be easily moved away from the path of the tire of the ATV.
The first ratchet and the second ratchet are utilized to tighten the respective straps about the tires of the ATV hereby retaining the ATV upon the trailer or pickup.
The pair of apertures within the enter bracket allow the tube member to be attached utilizing a threaded shaft as is commonly found in a snowmobile trailer, or conventional fasteners may be inserted through the apertures for retaining the tube member in the desired location such as the bed of a pickup.
The first support member and the second support member preferably have a V-portion for snugly receiving the tires of the ATV
