  • Patent number: 4731942
    Abstract: A dozer blade of the present invention includes two curved blade sections that are joined at respective inner ends thereof.

The blade sections converge forwardly at the top toward their central juncture such that a top portion of the central juncture is generally positioned forwardly of a bottom portion thereof. Additionally, the top portion of the central juncture is generally positioned lower than outer ends of respective top portions of the blade sections, presenting a winged profile from the front. A divider is positioned along the central juncture from a bottom scraping portion of the blade sections to the top. The divider serves to distribute material being dozed generally equally to either side.
