PIVOT OFFSETTING IMPLEMENT ASSEMBLY ATTACHMENT SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE
An attachment system for attaching an implement mounting assembly to a vehicle is disclosed. The attachment system includes a vehicle attachment component that is fastenable to a front portion of the frame of the vehicle, and a frame attachment component that is removably attachable to the vehicle attachment component on one end via a securing axis, and pivotably attachable to the implement assembly on another end about a pivoting axis. When fastened to the vehicle, the vehicle attachment component is located upward from the underside of the frame. When the frame attachment component is attached to the vehicle attachment component, the securing axis is located upward from the underside portion of the frame, and the pivoting axis is located downward therefrom.
Winch and plow control system
A winch and plow control system is disclosed. The winch and plow control system enables automatic control of a plow attached to a vehicle in order to raise and lower the plow based upon a vehicle parameter. The vehicle parameter can be a gear input that is monitored to automatically raise and lower the plow depending upon the gear selected. Wireless and remote control of the winch is also available, as well as a back-dragging automatic plow mode and a normal automatic plow mode.

Snowplow blade assembly
A snowplow blade assembly provides a snowplow blade that attaches to a vehicle for clearing residue from a pathway. The snowplow blade is configured to minimize structural damage caused by a pathway edge barrier, or a stationary object disposed on, or along, the pathway. A break-away section of the snowplow blade hingedly pivots, and potentially detaches with respect to a remainder of the snowplow blade when a predetermined shear stress from the pathway edge barrier or stationary object is applied. The break-away section includes a wheel roller that facilitates rolling advancement of the snowplow blade along or on the pathway edge barrier. The break-away section also forms an outer edge recess on a first side-blade end of snowplow blade. The outer edge recess is sized to enable passage of stationary objects, which prevents damage to the snowplow blade or stationary objects.
Down Pressure Plow System With Float Function
A down pressure plow system with a float function is disclosed for use in a vehicle. The plow system includes a plow frame assembly and a plow blade carried by the plow blade assembly. An actuator is configured to move the plow blade up and down. A down pressure linkage is coupled to the plow frame assembly. The down pressure linkage applies a downward force to the plow blade upon actuating the actuator to move the plow blade and simultaneously allows the plow blade to move upward upon an upward force being applied to the plow blade.
Winch And Plow Control System
A winch and plow control system is disclosed. The winch and plow control system enables automatic control of a plow attached to a vehicle in order to raise and lower the plow based upon a vehicle parameter. The vehicle parameter can be a gear input that is monitored to automatically raise and lower the plow depending upon the gear selected. Wireless and remote control of the winch is also available, as well as a back-dragging automatic plow mode and a normal automatic plow mode.
PLOWING SYSTEM, VEHICLE PROVIDED WITH SUCH SYSTEM, KIT FOR ASSEMBLING THE SAME, AND CORRESPONDING METHODS OF MANUFACTURING, ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING ASSOCIATED THERETO
A plowing system is removably mountable onto a vehicle in order to provide the vehicle with lateral plowing capability along a given lateral range of the vehicle. The plowing system includes a mounting assembly, a plowing assembly and corresponding plowing component. The plowing system also has associated first and second actuating assemblies cooperable with one another so as to selectively operate the plowing component between retracted and deployed configurations, and so as to provide the plowing system and associated plowing assembly and corresponding plowing component with an increased plowing resistivity within the lateral range of the vehicle, due to a combined effect of the first and second actuating assemblies. A corresponding vehicle is provided with such a plowing system.
Work attachment for motor grader
A work attachment for a motor grader includes a moldboard and a trip edge assembly coupled to the moldboard. The moldboard defines a plurality of first apertures. The trip edge assembly includes a trip edge structure. The trip edge assembly also includes a pivoting mechanism for pivoting a portion of the trip edge assembly in a first direction with respect to the moldboard when the trip edge assembly encounters an object in a drive path of the motor grader. The trip edge assembly further includes a mounting structure defining a plurality of second apertures. The plurality of second apertures are aligned with the plurality of first apertures to receive mechanical fasteners for removably coupling the trip edge assembly with the moldboard.
SCRAPING DEVICE FOR CLEANING A ROADWAY SURFACE
The device includes two opposing lateral wings forming the right and left sides of the scraping device. Each wing includes an upper section through which the wing is attached to the central support about a vertical pivot axis, and a bottom section that is pivotable with respect to the upper section about a first horizontal pivot axis. Each wing can follow the unevenness of the roadway surface and may also include parts that can pivot backwards in case of a frontal impact with an obstacle. The scraping device offers a very high degree of versatility and can clean various kinds of roadway surfaces with an unprecedented level of efficiency.
SNOW PLOW ROTATING SIDEWALL WITH SUSPENSION
A snow plow blade assembly has sidewalls rotating when abutting an obstacle and returning to the default position when not abutting the obstacle anymore. The snow plow blade assembly comprises a central section comprising a pivot axis; sidewall assemblies pivotably mounted to the central section; and suspension assemblies mounted to the central section. The suspension assemblies connect the central section and the sidewall assembly distant from the pivot axis. The suspension assemblies may comprise a hydraulic jack controllable between an extended position and a compact position, wherein the suspension assemblies allows the sidewall assemblies to pivot up to a first angle when contacting an obstacle and to pivot to a second angle greater than the first angle by changing the position of the hydraulic jack.
