Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] In the drawings which illustrate the best mode presently contemplated for carrying out the present invention:

[0011] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a universal snow plow mounting frame assembly of the present invention;

[0012] FIG. 2 is a side view of a snow plow mounting frame assembly of the present invention;

[0013] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a universal snow plow mounting frame assembly of the present invention attached to a tractor;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0014] Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly FIG. 1, there is generally indicated at 10 a snow plow mounting frame assembly of the present invention. The mounting frame assembly 10 is capable of being mounted laterally on a vehicle, tractor, buggy, or other similar vehicles. The snow plow mounting frame is attached at the top, widest portion, to the vehicle. This attachment can occur on the frame of the vehicle, bumper or other portion of the vehicles so as to securely attach the mounting frame to the vehicle.

[0015] As will become more apparent as the description of the mounting frame assembly 10 proceeds, the assembly can be mounted on nearly any type of vehicle, including mid- to full-size pickup trucks, vans, tractors and the like. Moreover, the mounting frame assembly 10 is especially suited for mounting thereon nearly any type of commercially available snow plow blade.

[0016] Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, the mounting frame assembly 10 comprises a horizontally disposed, heavy duty top member, vertical member of various geometric design and shape attached to the top member and a bottom horizontal member attached to the lower end of the vertical member.

[0017] The mounting frame is attached to the snow plow at the bottom horizontal member and attached to the vehicle at the top horizontal member. The attachment means can include screws, nuts and bolts, welding, and other similar means.

[0018] The mounting frame is preferably fabricated from rugged, durable material, such as steel, iron, or other metals. However the frame may be constructed of durable polymers, composites, or the like.

[0019] The specific shape and dimensions of the counting frame will vary depending on the size of the snow plow and vehicle to which it is attached. Preferably the top and bottom horizontal members are three dimensional rectangles and the vertical member is a pyramidal trapezoid in shape.
