Abstract
A tire anchoring system is disclosed. The system includes at least one anchoring assembly including a first bracket and a second bracket. The first bracket has a first bar and a second bar extending parallel to each other, and a first intermediate bar connecting the first bar and the second bar to define a first pocket dimensioned to engage at least a portion of a first tire. The second bracket has a third bar and a fourth bar extending parallel to each other, and a second intermediate bar connecting the third bar and fourth second bar to define a second pocket dimensioned to engage at least a portion of a second tire. A tensioning linkage connects the first bracket and the second bracket.

A tire anchoring system comprising:
- at least one anchoring assembly including:
- a first bracket having a first bar and a second bar extending parallel to each other, and a first intermediate bar connecting the first bar and the second bar to define a first pocket dimensioned to engage at least a portion of a first tire;
- a second bracket having a third bar and a fourth bar extending parallel to each other, and a second intermediate bar connecting the third bar and fourth second bar to define a second pocket dimensioned to engage at least a portion of a second tire;
- and
- a tensioning linkage connecting the first bracket and the second bracket;
- and
- at least one upright post assembly connected to at least one of the first bracket or the second bracket, and the at least one upright post assembly is configured to support at least one pole.
A method of securing a tire anchoring system to a vehicle, the method comprising:
- providing a tire anchoring system including:
- a first bracket having a first bar and a second bar extending parallel to each other, and a first intermediate bar connecting the first bar and the second bar to define a first pocket dimensioned to engage at least a portion of a first tire;
- a second bracket having a third bar and a fourth bar extending parallel to each other, and a second intermediate bar connecting the third bar and fourth second bar to define a second pocket dimensioned to engage at least a portion of a second tire;
- a tensioning linkage connecting the first bracket and the second bracket;
- and
- at least one upright post assembly connected to at least one of the first bracket or the second bracket, and the at least one upright post assembly is configured to support at least one pole;
- engaging the first bracket directly against the first tire of a vehicle and engaging the second bracket directly against the second tire of the vehicle;
- and
- connecting the first bracket with the second bracket via the tensioning linkage such that first bracket engages the first tire, and the second bracket engages the second tire.
