An air flow redirection device for a snow plow assembly mounted on a vehicle comprises an air flow guide member mounted on the mounting assembly for a snow plow blade mounted relative and superior to the snow plow blade. The guide member is positioned to redirect air from and above the snow plow blade down toward a radiator of a motor vehicle. Air flow guide member includes an upward-extending air-engaging front foil, a downward extending rear foil, and an intermediate panel extending between the upward extending air engaging front foil and the downward extending rear foil, all components being integral. Bracket members mount the air flow guide member independent of the snow plow blade such that the orientation of the air flow guide member is independent of motion of the snow plow blade. Other features include transparent guide members and pivotal mounting bracket assemblies.
A device for the redirection of air flow configured to mount on a front-mounted vehicle snow plow assembly, said device mounted relative and superior to a snow plow blade and operable for directing air toward a radiator, said device comprising:
A kit for the redirection of air flow configured for mounting on a snow plow assembly mounted onto the front of a motor vehicle having a radiator, said device mounted relative and superior to a snow plow blade and operable for directing air toward the radiator, said kit comprising:
A method to redirect airflow from above a snow plow assembly on a vehicle having a motor and a radiator, using a device having an air flow guide member including a forward, upward extending air engaging wall, a downward extending air outlet at an aft end of said airflow deflector for directing air toward the radiator of the motor vehicle, and an intermediate transition wall extending between the foreword, upward extending air engaging wall and the downward extending air outlet, all walls being integral, mounted relative and superior to a snow plow blade by means of at least one bracket assembly to connect said air flow guide member to said snow plow assembly and operable for directing air toward the radiator, said steps comprising:
The method of claim 12, wherein said airflow guide member is substantially transparent.
