A snow shovel blower apparatus comprises a tubular attachment for a leaf blower or other like motor for blowing forced air through a tube. The snow shovel blower apparatus comprises an attachment end and a snow shovel end, wherein the attachment end attaches to a tube extending from a leaf blower or other like motor, and the snow shovel end comprises a snow shovel scoop extending from the tube, having an air directing element for directing forced air across the face of the scoop and towards an edge of the snow shovel scoop. The forced air aids in moving snow from a surface, such as a walkway, driveway, sidewalk, porch, deck or other like surface.

A utility vehicle to remove a matter from a surface is described. The utility vehicle includes an articulated collector attached to a front section of the utility vehicle. The articulated collector is movable. The articulated collector is also configured to remove the matter from the surface. A matter container is also connected to the utility vehicle. The articulated container is also connected to the matter container. The matter container is configured to receive and hold the matter. Furthermore, an articulated depositor is connected to the matter container. The articulated depositor is configured to deposit the matter to a disposal site.

A roadway clearing device includes a plurality of rotatable members for dislodging material (snow or ice) from a roadway and a conveyer disposed rearward of the rotatable members to collect and laterally discharge material from the roadway. The device may include a plurality of shovel members disposed rearward of the conveyor to divert material from the roadway to the conveyor for lateral discharge. The rotatable members and/or shovel members may be disposed for separate movement from corresponding downward positions to upward positions relative to an interconnected support frame. Spring-loaded, extensible members may be provided to bias the rotatable members and/or shovel members to their corresponding downward positions. The rotatable members and/or shovel members are supportably and pivotably interconnected to a common support frame so as to separately pivot upward relative to the support frame from their respective downward positions, facilitating dislodgement, diversion, collection and discharge of material from a roadway.

This invention relates to the art of removing snow from driveways, walkways, roads, and the like. The snow removing system removes snow from the driveway and disposes it. The system can be operated by a person or by a computer program or by remote controller. The system comprises of components that are relatively small that can be easily assembled and stowed away after use. The system is easy use and does not require manual labor other than an easy setup and dismantle operations.

A work machine includes a motive portion, a work portion driven by the motive portion, a discharge path for discharging a work object obtained as a result of the work portion rotating, and a control portion for controlling the motive portion. The control portion includes a detection portion for detecting that the discharge path is clogged with the work object, and a work control portion for, upon the detection portion detecting that the discharge path is clogged with the work object, controlling the work portion and performing an elimination operation for eliminating the clogging with the work object in the discharge path.

A driving system for driving at least one auger of a snow removing device comprising at least one at least one self-adjusting chain tensioner. A first portion of the driving system is positioned within an auger housing and a second portion of the driving system is positioned outside the auger housing. The roller chain is adapted to move across a third opening provided in the auger housing. The first portion is covered by a front guard to prevent snow or debris contained in the auger housing to contact said first portion. The front guard is provided with an opening adapted to surround a portion of a shaft element of the auger with a play between periphery of the opening and the periphery of a corresponding portion the shaft element. The play is either small enough to prevent water and or debris to enter the first casing, or filled with a filling element and/or covered with a sealing element secured to the front guard or the corresponding portion of the shaft element of the at least one auger, to have the play small enough to prevent water and/or debris to enter the first casing. The second portion prevent snow or debris present around the snow removing device to contact the said second portion. A snow blower provided with the driving system, a kit comprising parts and/or components of the driving system, a method for assembling the driving system, and a method for manufacturing some components or parts of the driving system.

Embodiments of the invention provide a snowblower comprising a body including a pair of ground contacting members disposed at a bottom portion of the body, a blade for scraping the ground, the blade being secured at the bottom portion of the body, a snow blowing mechanism disposed in the body and an impeller housing located in the snow blowing mechanism, the impeller housing including an impeller rotation axis thereof disposed non-parallel with a horizontal ground when the snowblower is in an optimal levelled operation position, the impeller rotation axis being angled to increase a height of an impeller drive in direction of a power source.

A snow plow assembly comprising a main plow body, at least one butterfly gate, at least one blocker and a diverter. The at least one butterfly gate and the at least one blocker are jointly connected to the main plow body and are controlled by actuators to be opened and closed. The actuators allow the users to control when to release or hold snow collected into the main plow body. This feature is used to prevent the buildup of high snow ridges in front of small pathways such as driveways.

An auxiliary material moving assembly operates in conjunction, independently and/or concomitantly with a material moving machine for proficient handling, removal, and management of material such as snow, ice, and/or other materials. The auxiliary material moving assembly is configured to be mounted on a material moving machine. The auxiliary material moving assembly comprises at least one attachment arm, preferably at least two foldable or rotatable attachment arms, and at least one material moving element. The material moving machine includes a snowplow, snow plow-blower, or other material moving machine. Preferably, the auxiliary material moving element comprises one or more snow cutter, snow beater, screw-like auger, auger, ribbon-cutter, rotary fan, impeller, rotary (sweeping) broom, blower, scraper, paddle or other mechanical device that permits handling, removal and management of snow, ice and/or other materials.
