## Abstract

A grab bar mount is provided. The grab bar mount includes an upper member having a first channeled recess and a lower member having a second channeled recess. The first channeled recess has a size and shape corresponding to a size and shape of an upper portion of a grab bar post of an off road vehicle. The second channeled recess has a size and shape corresponding to a size and shape of a lower portion of the grab bar post of the off road vehicle. The upper member and the lower member are releasably coupled together around the grab bar post with the grab bar post extending through the first and second channeled recesses. The grab bar mount geometry of the channeled recesses operate to engage the outer surfaces of the grab bar post and inhibits movement of the grab bar mount with respect to the grab bar post.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A grab bar mount comprising:
an upper member having a first channeled recess and an accessory mounting aperture, wherein the mounting aperture is configured to releasably couple an accessory to the upper member;
a bolt that couples the accessory to the upper member by engaging the mounting aperture, wherein the bolt extends through the upper member and engages a grab bar post of an off road vehicle to inhibit movement of the grab bar mount with respect to the grab bar post; and
a lower member having a second channeled recess, wherein:
the first channeled recess comprises a size and shape corresponding to a size and shape of an upper portion of the grab bar post of the off road vehicle;
the second channeled recess comprises a size and shape corresponding to a size and shape of a lower portion of the grab bar post of the off road vehicle; and
the upper member and the lower member are releasably coupled together around the grab bar post with the grab bar post extending through the first and second channeled recesses.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The mount of claim 1, wherein an entire surface forming the first channeled recess contacts and engages an outer surface of the upper portion of the grab bar post when the upper member and the lower member are coupled together around the grab bar post.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The mount of claim 2, wherein an entire surface forming the second channeled recess contacts and engages an outer surface of the lower portion of the grab bar post when the upper member and the lower member are coupled together around the grab bar post.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The mount of claim 3, wherein the corresponding size and shape of the first channeled recess and the second channeled recess with the upper portion and the lower portion of the grab bar post respectively inhibit movement of the grab bar mount with respect to the grab bar post.
