Patent number: 11622501Abstract: A wide area mower with an open-box structure mower deck. The deck has a width from the left to right side of about 72 to 120 inches. The deck's length is about 24 to 70 inches. A left and right front wheel are positioned in front of the deck. The wide mower deck will flex, twist, or bend when one of the left or right wheels travels over uneven terrain while the rest of the mower travels over substantially level terrain. A cutting height adjustment mechanism is provided on the mower that allows an operator to raise or lower an entire left side or an entire right side of the mower deck to a selected cutting height. This is done simply by disengaging a locking mechanism and manipulating a lever on a four-bar linkage attached to each side of the deck and then re-engaging the locking mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: VENTURE PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Roy I. Steiner, Jeffrey C. Liggett, Corey Gerber, Roscoe J. Lehman

Patent number: 11619016Abstract: A V-blade for a snowplow, a snowplow incorporating the V-blade and a method of use thereof. The blade includes left and right wings engaged with a central shaft. A trip edge is provided on each wing and includes a lower section of moldboard, a cutting edge, and snow shield engaged with an upper section of the moldboard via a biasing assembly. The assembly biases the trip edge into alignment with the upper section. When an obstacle on the surface is struck by the trip edge, the trip edge pivots relative to the upper section about a horizontal axis extending along a shaft of the biasing assembly. A translation assembly causes the trip edge to move laterally in a first direction away from the central shaft and parallel to the vertical axis extending therealong. The trip edge returns to its original position under spring force.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2020Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: VENTURE PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Michael S. Hoffman, Corey Gerber

Publication number: 20230087006Abstract: A power rake for attachment with a vehicle. The power rake includes a main frame. The power rake also includes an adjustment assembly operably engaged with the main frame, and the adjustment assembly is independently moveable relative to the main frame. The power rake also includes a rotor assembly operably engaged with the adjustment assembly, and the rotor assembly is independently moveable relative to the main frame by the adjustment assembly. The rotor assembly is adapted to be pivoted via the adjustment assembly relative to a vertical axis of the main frame. The adjustment assembly and the rotor assembly are selectively vertically adjustable relative to a vertical axis of the main frame. The rotor assembly is selectively rotatably adjustable relative to a vertical axis of the main frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2021Publication date: March 23, 2023Applicant: Venture Products, Inc.Inventors: Corey Gerber, Josiah Daniel Ramseyer
