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.

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.

A sand bunker rake/infield groomer vehicle having a frame; a plurality of wheels to traverse a driven surface, wherein the wheels are rotatably mounted to the frame; a power source mounted to the frame; and a rear attachment structure attached to the frame, wherein the rear attachment structure provides a joint enabling rotation; a bracket including a shaft wherein the bracket is configured to cooperate with an associated rake/grooming attachment; and a pivoting bracket mounted to the frame.

The present disclosure relates generally to a roadway debris clearing system that can be concealed within, or behind, a standard push bumper of a safety patrol vehicle. The roadway debris clearing system may include a debris clearing device that is disposed between the vehicle motor and the front bumper. The debris clearing device can be deployed from a retracted position to an extended position where the device is capable of pushing debris from a roadway. The debris clearing device, when in the retracted position, may be concealed behind the front bumper of the vehicle. The roadway debris clearing system includes a camera system to observe an area in front of the vehicle as well as under the front bumper while clearing debris using the debris clearing device.

An extendable and flexible snow thrower includes a handle, an extendable section, and an end section. A power unit is also integrated into one of the components of the snow thrower. The power unit includes a rechargeable battery. The snow thrower also includes the handle which is composed of an ergonomic shape and material that aids in comfortable use. In addition, the expendable section is flexible for directional disposal of snow or ice. Furthermore, the end section includes a rotary brush with a heating element. Heat from the heating element is radiated through metallic protrusion(s) situated in between bristle(s). The radiated heat may aid in loosening the snow or ice from an operational surface. The loosened snow or ice is routed through the end section for disposal.

An apparatus is provided for cleaning a floor, and in particular a barn floor having a lower portion and an elevated portion that intersect to form a curb. The apparatus is attached to a vehicle that travels in a longitudinal direction. The apparatus includes a scraper for scraping the lower portion of the floor. The scraper is pivotally attached to the vehicle for adjusting a transverse position of an end of the scraper into abutment with the curb. The apparatus also includes a cleaning head for moving material from the elevated portion of the floor. The cleaning head is attached to an arm. The arm is pivotally attached to the scraper for adjusting a transverse position of the cleaning head into alignment with the elevated portion of the floor. The cleaning head is actuated to sweep material transversely into the path of the scraper as the vehicle moves in the longitudinal direction.

Tow coupling (100) having a tow coupling part (128) for fitment to a tow ball (104) of the vehicle, a load coupling (190) for coupling to a load to be towed, and a tow element (180) pivotally connecting to the tow coupling part (128) and to the load coupling part (190). Pivoting of the tow element (180) with respect to the tow coupling part (128) varies the vertical position of the load coupling part (190). Positioning structure (220), between the tow coupling part (128) and the tow element (180) permits setting that position. The positioning structure (220) is resiliently biased by a spring (260) so as to resiliently bias the tow element (180) such that the load coupling (190) assumes a selectable set position, from which the load coupling (190) is however upwardly displaceable under pivoting of the tow element (180) against that resilient bias.
