Abstract: A snowblower with a propeller drum seated on a free support axle that is disposed horizontally and perpendicular to the driving direction. The support axle is operated by a drive which is situated centrally within the drum. The snowblower also serves a lateral snowblowing function by the connection of a snowplow in place of the usual second drum. The side of the snowplow adjacent to the propeller drum is fixed rigidly to the housing. The back side of the snowplow is connected to a bushing which can be placed on the support axle normally provided for the removed propeller drum.

Abstract: At least one trailing scraper member freely swingable within a vertical plane is provided, which has a scraper blade and a scraper base disposed at an acute angle relative to the blade. The angle of adjustment of the scraper member relative to the snow surface over which the device travels is adjustable, so that the scraper member either removes snow from the snow surface or slides over same. Associated with the scraper member is a scooping device limited by side walls and by a shield which can be lifted or lowered, in order to collect the snow provided by the scraping member and to transport same to another location and discharge same on lifting of the shield.
