Abstract: A plow moldboard cutting edge includes a cutting edge blade having a front (leading) face and a rear (trailing) face, with one or more receiving apertures defined therebetween. An elastic bushing is then provided in each of the receiving apertures of the cutting edge blade, with each bushing having a through hole defined therein. The cutting edge blade is then fastened to the lower edge of a plow moldboard by extending fasteners through cutting edge mounting holes defined in the plow moldboard adjacent its lower edge, and then into the through holes of the bushings. The fasteners secure the bushings to the plow moldboard, and thereby mount the cutting edge blade (which is situated about the elastic bushings) to the plow moldboard as well, with the elastic bushings elastically spacing the cutting edge blade from the fasteners.

Abstract: A plow including a plowing vehicle and a moldboard has a decelerating fluid actuator which allows adjustable positioning of the moldboard with respect to the plowing vehicle. The cylinder has first and second ports which are successively blocked as the piston is retracted within the cylinder, with the second port being blocked after the first port during retraction. An enclosure is provided outside the cylinder, with the enclosure interior defining a passage between the ports and connecting the ports to a fluid supply. The flow area of the passage between the ports is adjustable to create a restriction. As a result, when the piston begins retraction, the retraction speed is dictated by flow through both ports, and when the piston retracts to a sufficient degree that the first port is blocked, retraction speed is dictated by the flow through the second port and the passage.

Abstract: A wing plow assembly includes a base member for mounting to a plowing vehicle (or to structures connected to a plowing vehicle, such as on a plow frame for a front moldboard). Upper and lower height adjustment arms each have a base end pivotally anchored to the base member, and an opposing plow end pivotally linked to a plow positioning leg. The base member, height adjustment arms, and plow positioning leg form a parallelogram linkage wherein the plow positioning leg may vertically swing on the height adjustment arms about the base member. A wing plow having a length extending between a inner end and a outer end has its inner end affixed to the plow positioning leg so that the wing plow may also vertically swing about the base member, thereby allowing the wing plow to be raised and lowered with respect to the base member (and thus with respect to the plowing vehicle).

Abstract: A snowplow mount is provided wherein a vehicle mount extending from the plowing vehicle is affixed to a reversing table, which is in turn rotatably connected to a plow moldboard at one or more pivots. One of the moldboard or the reversing table includes a bearing thereon, the bearing having a bearing bore defined therein. The other of the moldboard or the reversing table includes a pin which is elastically journalled within the bearing so that the pin and bearing may both rotate with respect to each other as well as translate with respect to each other in radial directions (i.e., in planes which are generally parallel to the axes of the pin and the bearing bore). Thus, loading of the moldboard allows the moldboard to translate with respect to the reversing table at the pivot as well as rotate.
