FOLDING WING PLOW
The present invention relates to a snow plow assembly for a vehicle comprising a snow plow frame that is attachable to an associated vehicle. The snow plow blade is attachable to the snow plow frame and has a snow plow surface for use in plowing associated snow. An end gate is pivotally attached to at least one distal end of the snow plow blade. The end gate has a snow plow surface for use in plowing associated snow. A hydraulically operable adjustment mechanism is operatively attached to the snow plow blade and the end gate. The adjustment mechanism releasably secures the end gate in at least three different positions relative to the snow plow blade. A pivotally connected stop assembly means is operably attached to the snow plow blade and the end gate by a hydraulically operable adjustment mechanism.
Plow blade
The present disclosure provides a plow blade edge device for mounting to a moldboard of a plow comprising at least one adapter blade including a bottom edge having selectively carbide insert(s) along at least a portion of the bottom edge. The disclosure further provides for a method of brazing the carbide insert(s) in a cavity along at least a portion of the bottom edge. The device further includes at least one wear block selectively reversible to present the adapter blade at a first angle or a second angle. The at least one wear block can include a bottom edge having a carbide insert along at least a portion of the bottom edge.
PLOW LIFT AND DOWN PRESSURE CONTROL MECHANISMS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS
A low cost plow lift and down pressure system comprising a lift frame having a lift end and a mount end for securing to a plow vehicle. A lever beam articulates with a lift end of the lift frame. The system further comprises a; lift tension line, down pressure tension line, hydraulic pump, hydraulic cylinder, push frame, down pressure arm, and plow. A push frame extends between a plow and a lift frame. A lift tension line extends between a plow receiver near the plow and a lift receiver on the lever beam. A down pressure tension line extends between a first down pressure receiver on the lever beam to a second down pressure receiver located on a down pressure arm that is coupled to the push frame. Active extension and retraction of a first hydraulic cylinder causes consequent raising of the plow and plow down pressure.
TILT SENSING AND INDICATING DEVICE FOR A CONTAINMENT PLOW
A tilt sensing and signaling device for a containment plow.
Compact pulling apparatus
The compact pulling apparatus includes a watertight elongated housing extending along a longitudinal axis and a track disposed around the housing along its longitudinal axis. The track enables the apparatus to move when rotatably driven around the housing. Depending on the implementation, the apparatus can include a generator/motor to selectively produce electricity which can power external equipment and rotatably drive the track, and/or a fuel-power engine. The apparatus further includes a power train assembly by which the rotating output power is transmitted from inside to outside the housing by the power train assembly using at least one rotatable shaft section sealingly extending across a corresponding one of the walls of the housing.
Snow plow and mount assembly
A snow plow and mount assembly has a mount frame, an A-frame, a lift frame, a plow blade, an actuator, arms, receivers, recesses, hitch pins, a latch mechanism, and a latch lever. The elements are arranged such that the vehicle is driven toward the snow plow so that the arms are received in the receivers, the actuator is energized to pivot the lift frame relative to the A-frame so that the hitch pins are received in the recesses, and the lever is moved to move the latch mechanism to the latched position. The snow plow frame is thereby removably secured to the mount frame.
DUAL FUNCTION PUSHER-PULLER PLOW BLADE SYSTEM
A plow blade system adapted for mounting to a vehicle, the blade system comprising a blade orientable transversally to a longitudinal orientation of movement of the vehicle and having two opposite ends, and two side wall assemblies; each side wall assembly having a primary sidewall portion mounted to a corresponding end of the blade, the primary sidewall portion extending longitudinally from the corresponding end in a first longitudinal working direction, a sidewall extension slidably mounted to the primary sidewall portion, and a sidewall actuator mounted between the primary sidewall portion and the sidewall extension and operable to selectively slidingly extend the sidewall extension in a second longitudinal working direction opposite to said first longitudinal working direction and retract the sidewall extension within the primary sidewall portion.
Adjustable Snow Plow Blade
An adjustable snow plow blade mechanism connected to a front end loader (FEL). The FEL mounted in front of a tractor. In one embodiment, the plow blade mechanism includes a control plate with three blade control points. The control plate is adapted for attachment to a rear of a snow plow blade. A control arm is pivotally attached to the control plate. The control arm can be moved from one blade control point to another for adjusting a snow plow blade angle. An opposite end of the control arm is pivotally attached to a front of an attachment plate. The attachment plate is adapted for mounting on the FEL. The attachment plate is raised and tilted by the FEL. The attachment plate, the control arm and the control plate are used for moving the snow plow blade to a left blade position, or to a right blade position, or to a neutral and straight ahead blade position on a roadway.
Sweeping Blade and Sweeping Blade Assembly for a Vehicle
There is provided a sweeping blade device comprising: a blade main portion including a rigid sweeping blade having convexly curved and opposed lateral edges. The sweeping blade device can be mounted to a blade support, which in turn is securable to a vehicle to form a sweeping blade assembly configured to be attached to a plow blade of the vehicle for sweeping debris on a ground surface.
Snow-to-slurry conversion apparatus
A snow-to-slurry conversion apparatus can include a chassis, a collection device, a holding tank, a conveying system, and a spraying system. The collection device can be mounted on the chassis and extend between a collection inlet to a collection outlet. The holding tank can be mounted on the chassis. The holding tank can include a tank inlet and a tank outlet. The conveying system can extend between a conveying inlet communicating with the collection outlet and a conveying outlet communicating with the tank inlet. The spraying system can extend along the conveying system between the conveying inlet and the conveying outlet. The conveying system can extend along a tortured path and include a plurality of sections extending in opposite directions. The spraying system can include spray jets disposed along the plurality of sections extending in opposite directions.
