Plow assembly with cushioning attachment

A accessory assembly for mounting at a vehicle, said accessory assembly comprising:

• a mounting structure configured to mount at a vehicle;
• wherein said mounting structure is configured to adjustably mount at the vehicle so as to be adjustable about a horizontal pivot axis relative to the vehicle;
• a support structure comprising a vehicle end and an attaching end, wherein said vehicle end is attached to said mounting structure via a cushioning assembly;
• an accessory attached at said attaching end of said support structure;
• wherein said cushioning assembly comprises (i) a first element attached at said vehicle end of said support structure, (ii) a second element attached at said mounting structure, and (iii) a plurality of resilient elements disposed between said first element and said second element;
• wherein said first element comprises a non-circular receiver fixedly attached at said vehicle end of said support structure, and wherein said second element comprises a non-circular beam that is received within said receiver and that engages said plurality of resilient elements;
• wherein each of said resilient elements is compressible and biased towards its initial form;
• wherein, responsive to pivotal movement of said mounting structure about said horizontal pivot axis, said beam pivots within said receiver to compress at least some of said resilient elements;
• wherein said beam is movably attached at said mounting structure;
• and
• wherein said beam is received through slots of respective brackets of said mounting structure, and wherein said slot of each of said brackets comprises an elongated slot that allows for movement of a respective end region of said beam relative to said mounting structure in a first direction and limits movement of the respective end region of said beam relative to said mounting structure in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction.
