ABSTRACT:
An ATV lift handle is provided for an all terrain vehicle having a vertically movable blade at the forward end thereof. The vertical movement of the blade is controlled by a lift handle positioned rearwardly thereof and which is pivotally mounted on a lift handle bracket. The lift handle bracket has a locking pin movably mounted thereon which protrudes outwardly and rearwardly therefrom when in its extended locked position. The locking pin is movable from its extended locked position to a retracted non-locking position against the resiliency of a spring operatively connected thereto. When it is desired to lock the blade in its upper non-working position, the lift handle is pivotally moved rearwardly of the protruding locking pin and is placed in engagement therewith to prevent the lift handle from moving forwardly. When it is desired to lower the blade, the lift handle is pivotally moved with respect to the lift handle bracket to disengage the lift handle from the locking pin and to cause the locking pin to move to its retracted non-locking position. When it is desired to raise the blade, the lift handle is pivotally moved rearwardly into engagement with the locking pin with the engagement therewith causing the locking pin to move to its retracted position so that the lift handle may be moved rearwardly without requirement that the lift handle also be pivotally moved outwardly with respect to the lift handle bracket.
