Abstract

Vehicles, such as all terrain vehicles, can be provided with a frame and a fender assembly. The fender assembly can have layered fender panels attached together with a bolt and T-nut. A channel can be formed between the fender panels to facilitate passage of fluid along a predetermined pathway. A seat includes a compression surface for sandwiching the fender assembly with respect to the frame. Front and rear fender assemblies can be attached to the frame by a midpoint fastener passing through respective apertures in each of the front and rear fender assemblies, through a grommet, and into the frame. A stay assembly attaches a mudguard to the fender assembly, and can involve a swivel clip. Methods are also provided.

Claims (12)

1. An all terrain vehicle comprising:
a frame;

a body panel;

an elongated metal wire attached to the body panel and having a longitudinal portion;

a ribbon extending from a first end to a second end, the ribbon at least partially surrounding the longitudinal portion of the elongated metal wire such that the first end overlaps the second end, wherein the first end and the second end are attached to the frame such that the elongated metal wire is movably attached to the frame by the ribbon;
a mudguard: and a fastener; wherein the first end of the ribbon defines a first aperture, the second end of the ribbon defines a second aperture, the frame defines a third aperture, and the fastener passes through each of the first aperture and the second aperture and into the third aperture to facilitate attachment of the swivel clip to the frame;

the third aperture comprises a threaded aperture;
the body panel comprises a fender assembly;

the elongated metal wire is additionally attached to the mudguard and is configured to at least partially support the mudguard with respect to the frame; and the longitudinal portion is disposed between first and second portions of the elongated metal wire, the first portion of the elongated metal wire is attached to the fender assembly, and the second poi-tion of the elongated metal wire is attached to the mudguard.
2. An all terrain vehicle comprising:
a frame;

a fender assembly;
a mudguard;

an elongated metal wire having a longitudinal portion, a first portion, and a second portion, the longitudinal portion disposed between the first and second portions;
and a swivel clip comprising a retention portion and a mounting portion, wherein the retention portion at least partially surrounds the longitudinal portion of the elongated metal wire, and wherein the mounting portion is attached to the frame such that the elongated metal wire is movably attached to the frame, wherein:

the first portion of the elongated metal wire is attached to the fender assembly;
and the second portion of the elongated metal wire is attached to the mudguard.
3. The all terrain vehicle of claim 2 wherein the swivel clip comprises a ribbon extending from a first end to a second end, the retention portion is located about midway along the ribbon between the first end and the second end, and the ribbon is configured such that the first end overlaps the second end.
4. The all terrain vehicle of claim 3 further comprising a fastener, wherein the first end of the ribbon defines a first aperture, the second end of the ribbon defines a second aperture, the frame defines a third aperture, and the fastener passes through each of the first aperture and the second aperture and into the third aperture to facilitate attachment of the swivel clip to the frame.
5. The all terrain vehicle of claim 4 wherein the ribbon is formed from metal.
6. The all terrain vehicle of claim 4 wherein the fastener comprises a bolt.

and the body panel comprises a fender assembly, and wherein the second portion of the elongated metal wire is attached to the mudguard.
12. A method of attaching a body panel to a frame of an all terrain vehicle, the method comprising:

attaching an elongated metal wire to a body panel;

wrapping a ribbon at least partially around a longitudinal portion of the elongated metal wire;

aligning respective apertures in respective ends of the ribbon;

inserting a fastener through the respective apertures in the ribbon and into another aperture provided in the frame of the all terrain vehicle to facilitate movable attachment of the elongated metal wire with respect to the frame of the all terrain vehicle: and attaching the elongated metal wire to each of a mudguard and a footrest, wherein:
the body panel comprises a fender assembly;

the attaching of the elongated metal wire to the body panel, the mudguard, and the footrest comprises attaching a first portion of the elongated metal wire to the fender assembly and attaching a second portion of the elongated metal wire to each of the mudguard and the footrest, wherein the longitudinal portion is disposed between the first and second portions of the elongated metal wire.
