Abstract: A snow removing machine equipped with a snow removing plate is disclosed. The snow removing plate is mounted to a front portion of a vehicle body which forms part of the snow removing machine. An operating handle having grip portions is mounted to a rear portion of the vehicle body and obliquely extends upward.

Abstract: A device is disclosed, for use with a snow blower being of the type having an auger, and allow it to operate while moving backwards. The device principally consists of a concave blade mounted on a snow blower, which pivots between an operative position where the blade extends close to ground and the concave surface of the blade extends in front of the auger in such a way that the blade scrapes the snow and directs it towards the auger when the snow blower is lifted up to let the snow pass under it and moves backwards, and an inoperative position where the blade is raised to a height sufficient to let the snow reach the auger when the snow blower moves forwards.

Abstract: A plow of the type used to clear snow and like debris from roadways and similar surfaces has a plastic moldboard secured to a rigid frame adapted to be mounted to a vehicle. The frame has at least one vertically extending brace member spaced from the moldboard to define a vertically extending gap between frame and moldboard. At least a portion of the gap is at least partially filled with a resilient material so that the moldboard is able to resiliently flex into the gap during heavy snow removal while preventing the gap from being filled with foreign matter including ice otherwise preventing desired flexing of the moldboard.

Abstract: A plow blade is described which has first and second sections, e.g., a moldboard and a trip board, which are rotatable with respect to each other and maintained in a desired angular relationship with respect to each other via an elastic torsion joint. The elastic torsion joint includes an elongated inner member at least partially surrounded by an elongated outer sleeve. Resilient elastic cushioning wedges (e.g., elastomeric wedges) are situated between the inner member and outer sleeve in such a manner that rotation of the inner member with respect to the outer sleeve compresses the cushioning wedges and elastically resists rotation. The inner member and outer sleeve are respectively affixed to the moldboard and trip board (or vice versa) so that when the trip board strikes an obstruction and is biased with respect to the moldboard, the elastic torsion spring resiliently yields, and then causes the trip board to snap back to its original position with respect to the moldboard once the obstruction is removed.

The second pair is connected at one end to the plow and at a second end to the linear support member.

Abstract: An air deflection system for a snow plow assembly mounted on a vehicle comprises an air stream guide member mounted on and overlying the upper surface of a snow plow blade. The guide member has a downwardly facing air inlet at a fore end positioned forward of the snow plow blade to intercept and capture without interruption an air stream which, by reason of forward movement of the vehicle, is directed toward the leading concave surface of the snow plow blade, then upwardly along that surface, and through a rearwardly facing air outlet at the aft end positioned aft of the snowplow blade. An air stream containment passage intermediate the air inlet and the air outlet is effective to receive the air stream from the air inlet and redirect it toward the air outlet from whence it is exhausted away from the snow plow blade and toward the radiator of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: An ATV lift handle is provided for an all terrain vehicle having a vertically movable blade at the forward end thereof.

Abstract: This invention is a simple, safe, and inexpensive beam structure for tractor forward mounting of a blade (24). A pivot plate (11) is mounted at the tractor lower mid-section. Parallel beams (12) are positioned through the pivot plate (11) and extend beyond the tractor front and rear. The aft ends of beams (12) are attached to the tractor 2 or 3 point rear hydraulic lift arms (26). The forward ends of the beams (12) are the blade primary attachment points. A counterweight (13) attached rearward will raise the blade (24) when the tractor 2 or 3 point rear hydraulic lift arms (26) are lowered. The blade (24) is lowered by raising the 2 and 3 point rear hydraulic lift arms (26), thereby, giving effective vertical control of the front mounted blade.

Abstract: The present invention comprises one or more anti-drift stabilizers mounted on the leading edge of a snow plow's blade. These stabilizers are mounted at an angle that is in the same direction as the angle of the snowplow in relation to the plow truck. As snow or other media is channeled to one side of a plow blade it exerts a force in the opposite direction thus tending to cause a plow to want to knife or drift in a direction opposite where the snow or other media is being deposited by the blade. As snow or other media passes over the surfaces of the stabilizers it exerts pressure that is opposite to, and counteracts the knifing action created at the emptying end of the plow by the accumulation of snow. The result of this is that the plow can be operated safely without the need to make constant corrections for the knifing and without the added danger of the inattentive operator being pulled from the roadway or into oncoming traffic and causing property damage or personal injury.

Abstract: A plow blade assembly for clearing a surface during a plowing operation comprises a plow blade having a front and rear surface and a lower edge.

Securement means are included to enable the forward plow surface to be removably secured to the bottom edge of a conventional snow plow.
