Abstract
Safety bar for vehicles, such as fire trucks. A base member is mounted on a permanent frame of the vehicle. A connecting member is pivotally mounted on the base member for rotation in a first plane. A bar is pivotally mounted on the connecting member for rotation in a second plane perpendicular to the first plane. The connecting member can rotate at one direction from a stop position against the base member and the bar can only rotate at one direction from a stop position against the connecting member. The safety bar has a spring connected to hold the bar and connecting members in stop position.
