Bi-directional snow removal machine

A bi-directional snow blower coupled to a motorized vehicle, the bi-directional snow blower comprising:

• a frame coupled to a suspension mechanism of the vehicle;
• a scraper blade for removing particulate from a floor surface on which the scraper blade is engaged therewith,
• the scraper blade being rigidly and non-pivotally coupled to the frame, the rigid and non-pivotal coupling between the scraper blade and the frame facilitating movement of the scraper blade together with the frame when the frame is moved non-rotationally and/or rotationally by the suspension mechanism of the vehicle,
• the rotational and/or non-rotational movement of the scraper blade facilitating removal of particulate from the floor surface when the vehicle is traveling in a forward direction and in a reverse direction opposite to the forward direction,
• the forward direction and the reverse direction corresponding to directions of travel relative to a transverse center plane of the vehicle,
• the scraper blade is movable between a first lowered position, a second lowered position and a raised position, wherein the first lowered position corresponds to removal of particulate when the motorized vehicle is traveling in the forward direction, and the second lowered position corresponds to removal of particulate when the motorized vehicle is traveling in the reverse direction;
• a blower assembly housed within the scraper blade for directing particulate removed by the scraper blade;
• and
• a chute to direct particulate toward an exterior.
