  • Patent number: 10113282
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a rounded edge “cutting edge” blade that attaches either directly to the bottom of a plow blade mold board or that attaches to the front side of a traditional cutting edge blade that is already mounted to the mold board using the existing mounting bolts and holes already present. The rounded edge of the blade, when making contact with the ground surface, will not get caught on cracks or irregular surfaces. The rounded edge can be made of steel, polyurethane, rubber or other appropriate composite material and the thickness can vary depending upon the blade and vehicle being mounted to.

  • Patent number: 9845581
    Abstract: A personal use plow for pushing, but not limited to, snow and slush from one's driveway by most passenger automobiles and/or ATVs that is attached using a unique strapping and cog bracing system. The plow is made of injected molded structural foam plastic and comes in five (5) separate panels that can be easily assembled into a solid plow blade. This material is lightweight and allows for easy transportation, storage and use. When assembled, the plow can be used either in the front or back of the vehicle. The plow attaches to the vehicle by a special hook, designed as part of this patent, which attaches to the hood, trunk or luggage rack of the vehicle. All parts for the functionality of the plow are contained on the plow itself, so there are no brackets or hitches required to be attached to the bumpers of the vehicle.
