Patent ID: 8739913

Claim:
A quick-release ATV ski, comprising: a ski-shaped wheel support; a pair of wheel receivers extending longitudinally along and rising from said ski-shaped wheel support and spaced laterally from each other to define a wheel cage; a strap anchor adjacent a first end of said wheel cage; an over-center clamp adjacent a second end of said wheel cage distal to said first end; a strap coupled between said strap anchor and said over-center clamp; and a removable lock operatively preventing said over-center clamp from rotating and thereby preventing accidental release of said over-center clamp, said removable lock comprising: an over-center clamp actuator that rotates about an over-center clamp actuator axis to operatively alternatively tension and release tension on said strap; a side wall on each one of said pair of wheel receivers rising generally perpendicularly from said ski-shaped wheel support and spaced from each other to operatively receive a wheel there between; and a pin operatively extending parallel with said over-center clamp actuator axis and operatively engaged with said over-center clamp, thereby preventing rotation of said over-center clamp actuator when said pin is operative, and removable therefrom to enable rotation of said over-center clamp actuator.
