Abstract
A snowplow assembly for attachment to a vehicle, comprising a first plow blade assembly and a second plow blade assembly, connectable to each other by a hinge; a support assembly fixedly couplable to the first plow blade assembly; and wherein the first and second plow blade assemblies are configured to be angularly adjustable relative to at least a portion of the support assembly.
Claims20
A snowplow assembly configured for attachment to a vehicle comprising:
- a first plow blade assembly having a forwardly facing surface configured to face away from the vehicle and a rearwardly facing surface configured to face toward the vehicle and
- a second plow blade assembly having a forwardly facing surface configured to face away from the vehicle and a rearwardly facing surface configured to face toward the vehicle, connectable to each other by a hinge;
- a support assembly having a base arm extending along a longitudinal axis and having at least two arms extending in different angular directions with respect to said base arm, a first one of said at least two arms is selectably fixedly attached to said rearwardly facing surface of said first plow blade assembly and a second one of said at least two arms is selectably fixedly attached to said rearwardly facing surface of said second plow blade assembly, thus selectably fixating the first and second plow blades respective rearwardly facing surfaces to said support assembly;
- and
- a connecting rod, configured to connect said first plow blade assembly to said second plow blade assembly in a first operative orientation and configured to selectably release said second plow blade assembly from said first plow blade assembly in a second operative orientation, thereby allowing pivotable folding of said first and second plow blade assemblies about said hinge, so as said forwardly facing surfaces of said first plow blade assembly and said second plow blade assembly face each other upon selectably detaching said second one of said at least two arms from said second plow blade assembly,
- and wherein said first and second plow blade assemblies extend along a mutual longitudinal axis when connected to each other by said hinge and fixated by said connecting rod.

- a second plow blade assembly having a forwardly facing surface configured to face away from the vehicle and a rearwardly facing surface configured to face toward the vehicle, connectable to each other by a hinge;
- a support assembly fixedly couplable to said rearwardly facing surface of said first plow blade assembly and comprising at least one connecting rod;
- said at least one connecting rod is configured to selectably couple said support assembly with said rearwardly facing surface of said second plow blade assembly, thus fixating the first and second plow blade assemblies relative to each other, and wherein said at least one connecting rod is configured to selectably release said second plow blade assembly from said support assembly to allow pivotable folding of said first and second plow blade assemblies about said hinge, so as said forwardly facing surfaces of said first plow blade assembly and said second plow blade assembly face each other,
- and wherein said first and second plow blade assemblies extend along a mutual longitudinal axis when connected to each other by said hinge and fixated by said connecting rod.
