  • Patent number: 9062425
    Abstract: A support mount for a receiver in an ice resurfacing machine, an ice resurfacing machine, a system for making an ice surface level with a desired horizontal plane and its kits of each of them. A receiver is mounted on a support mount for maintaining an ice resurfacing machine level with a desired horizontal plane comprising a mast post that retracts within a structure mounted on the conditioner. The receiver detects a light beam being transmitted along a plane parallel to a desired horizontal plane. The position of the mast post relative to the structure is constrained such that the height of the receiver in a transport position is vertically retracted to permit the ice resurfacing machine to pass under obstacles while entering or leaving an ice surface and in an operative position is extended to a height whereby a light beam emitted by a transmitter along a plane parallel to the desired horizontal plane may be detected. At all times the mast post remains away from contact with the ice surface.
