A replacement mobility assembly for a walk-behind, powered device (10) may include first and second drivable components, a mobility assembly frame, and an adaptation assembly. The powered device may be provided with an original mobility assembly (40) that is to be removed from coupling with a drive assembly and a chassis (15) of the powered device prior to installation of the replacement mobility assembly. The first and second drivable components may each be of a different type than corresponding drivable components of the original mobility assembly. The first and second drivable components may be operably coupled to the mobility assembly frame. The adaptation assembly may be configured to enable the mobility assembly frame to be operably coupled to the chassis and the first and second drivable components to be operably coupled to the drive assembly.

A protective enclosure or cab for an operator of a walk-behind or mechanical device, such as a snow blower, engine-driven snow thrower, ride-on tractor, or the like, is provided. The protective enclosure or cab includes an inflatable frame structure which supports a plurality of transparent, flexible windows or a single sheet of transparent material such as a curtain. When inflated, the protective cab is detachably coupled to the walk-behind or mechanical device and surrounds an operator of the walk-behind or mechanical device protecting the operator from the environment such wind, rain, snow or the like, while providing an unobstructed view of the surrouding environment. When deflated, the protective enclosure or cab can be folded into a small volume to be placed in a storage device which can be coupled to the walk-behind or mechanical device.

A snow removal system includes a mobile vehicle including a first motor, an actuation lever in communication with the first motor, a plow having a cavity formed therein and being in communication with the actuation lever, a blade statically connected to the plow, a second motor seated exterior of the plow, an auger in communication with the second motor and rotatably seated within the cavity, a transfer chute in communication with the plow and the auger, a collection bin in communication with the transfer chute, a heating element situated within the collection bin, and a release valve in fluid communication with the collection bin.

The present invention relates to a hand or motorized push shovel/plow with directional left or right side disbursement of snow, granular material, thicker liquids and other such desired materials with ease and comfort. The shovel allows a user to direct a shoveled load to a first or a second side of the shovel while moving the shovel in a substantially straight direction and generally comprises a handle, a shaft extending from the handle to a base shovel blade, and a steering mechanism secured along a portion of the shaft or handle and in steering communication with a directional shovel blade that is in a relational arrangement on top of the base shovel blade. The steering mechanism allows a user to angle the directional blade in a left or right direction.

A system for removing snow from easily damaged surfaces such as artificial turf athletic fields includes a modified snow blower used in combination with a vehicle towing a sled. The sled can be a large polymer sheet with side straps and draw bars at one or both ends. The sled also includes tow straps or other attachments for coupling to the vehicle. The snow blower, which can be independent or driven by another vehicle, is modified to cover its cutting edge with an edge guard and to include a set of wheels behind the auger housing. In operation, the snow blower can travel alongside the vehicle and sled and discharge snow onto the sled. When desirable, the sled can be towed to a snow discharge area and emptied. For best results, the snow blower should travel at a constant speed while the sled travels at a variable speed.

A snow thrower includes a frame, a prime mover supported by the frame, and a handle assembly coupled to the frame. The handle assembly includes a grip for an operator to grasp. The snow thrower further includes an auger housing supported by the frame, and an auger blade rotationally coupled to and disposed within the auger housing. A track drive system is coupled to the frame to facilitate movement along a ground surface. The track drive system includes a drive wheel rotatably driven by the prime mover, an idler wheel rotatably supported by the frame, and a flexible track interconnecting the drive wheel and the idler wheel. The idler wheel is translatable relative to the frame to adjust an orientation of the auger housing relative to the ground surface.

The present disclosure provides an electric tool and a control method thereof. The electric tool comprises a walking unit and a working unit, wherein the walking unit comprises a walking assembly, a walking control assembly, and a walking switch assembly; the working unit comprises a working assembly, a working control assembly, and a working switch assembly; when at least one of the walking switch assembly and the working switch assembly is turned on, at least one of the walking control assembly and the working control assembly receives a lock signal; and when the walking switch assembly and the working switch assembly are both turned on, and then the switch assembly corresponding to the control assembly that receives the lock signal remains on, at that time the control assembly that receives the lock signal simultaneously controls the walking assembly and the working assembly to work.

A chute control assembly for a snow thrower having a housing, handle, and a chute includes a control mechanism, a connecting mechanism, and a guide mechanism. The control mechanism includes an actuator mechanism that allows an operator to manually control the orientation of the chute from a position spaced apart from the chute. The connecting mechanism transfers rotation of the actuator mechanism to the guide mechanism. The guide mechanism is attached to the chute and rotates and adjust the orientation of the chute in response to rotation of the actuator mechanism in order to change the direction that snow is thrown from the snow thrower.

In an apparatus for conveying and discharging bulk material or snow, comprising at least one conveying device which has a tubular, circumferentially partially open conveying housing (1) and the conveying direction of which extends substantially in the direction of the tube axis (5), and comprising at least one centrifugal ejector, adjoining the at least one conveying device in the conveying direction and having at least one centrifugal wheel (8), which has at least one discharge lever (9), is arranged in a centrifugal-wheel housing (11) having a discharge opening (14) and can be driven to rotate about an axis of rotation (12), the conveying housing (1) has a smaller diameter than the ejector wheel (8) and the tube axis (5) is arranged parallel under the axis of rotation (12) of the ejector wheel (8), at a vertical normal distance.

A three-stage snow thrower having a housing, a power supply operatively connected to said housing, a longitudinal drive shaft extending from the power supply into the housing, and a lateral drive shaft extending rotatably attached to opposing side walls of the housing and being meshingly engaged with the longitudinal drive shaft within a gear assembly. The power supply drives the longitudinal drive shaft, thereby causing the longitudinal drive shaft to rotate, and at least a portion of such rotation is transferred to the lateral drive via a gear assembly. The first stage assembly includes a plurality of augers attached to the lateral drive shaft, wherein the first stage assembly pushes loosened snow axially toward the gear assembly. The second stage assembly includes at least one auger attached to the longitudinal drive shaft, wherein the second stage assembly pushes the snow from the first stage assembly axially rearward in a transverse manner relative to the first stage assembly. The third stage assembly includes an impeller that rotates to throw the snow from the second stage assembly through a chute attached to the housing to expel the snow from the housing.
