  • Patent number: 8443529
    Abstract: A piste processing implement having a finisher arrangement which is composed of an elastically flexible material and which is provided, on its underside facing toward a piste surface, with profilings which form a profile pattern in the piste surface during towing operation. The profilings have differently designed profiling sections distributed over a width of the finisher arrangement, with at least a first profiling section being provided which has a greater width and a smaller depth than the second profiling sections.

  • Patent number: 7546700
    Abstract: A piste grooming apparatus for a motor vehicle, in particular a track-laying vehicle, includes a cutter support which can be adjusted relative to the motor vehicle about a plurality of axes and which has a cutting shaft arrangement that is arranged rotatably in an impact housing. A smoothing mechanism is arranged—as seen in the forward direction of travel of the motor vehicle—behind the cutting shaft arrangement and is held in an adjustable manner. The impact housing and the cutting shaft arrangement are held on the cutter support in a manner such that they can be adjusted about a pivot axis which—as seen in the forward direction of travel of the motor vehicle—lies behind an axis of rotation of the cutting shaft arrangement.
