ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an apparatus for securing rifles, archery bows and other camping accessories to the cargo rack of an all terrain vehicle for transport. The apparatus consists of two support brackets which have a bracket pad of resilient material affixed in an opening in the brackets, a support structure for the support brackets and a means for securing the support structure to the cargo rack tubes of the all terrain vehicle. The support structure is comprised of two vertical support bars which are attached on the bottom to a horizontal bottom cross bar which is secured to the cargo rack. A horizontal top cross bar also connects the two support bars and provides added stability to the support bars. A stiffener plate which connects the bottom cross bar and the top cross bar can also be used to further enhance the stability of the support bars. The bottom cross bar is secured to the cargo rack tubes either by an anchor plate which is connected by bolts or other fasteners to the bottom cross bar which pinch the cargo rack tubes between the anchor plate and the bottom cross bar, or by anchor u-bolts which pinch the cargo rack tubes against the bottom cross bar.
