Abstract
A manually operable mobile snow plough includes a streamlined main body supported upon wheels or runners for movement over the ground or snow. The main body has one or more entrance openings for receiving snow, and at least one blade mounted rotatably within such openings. A snow discharge pipe is rotatably carried by the snow plough body and is provided with a vertically extending discharge slot. A snow guide member is pivotably mounted atop the discharge pipe, and an adjusting lever is included to permit setting of the discharge pipe in any one of a series of selected azimuthal positions.
Claims14
A mobile snow plough comprising:
- at least one main body having a generally box-like configuration and an open front end;
- a drive shaft mounted rotatably and horizontally within said body;
- a snow collecting and propelling blade carried by said drive shaft for rotation therewith;
- a prime mover means for driving said drive shaft;
- a snow discharge pipe mounted rotatably on said body and adapted to receive snow propelled by said blade and to discharge said snow in a selected azimuthal direction;
- and
- adjusting means for selectively fixing said discharge pipe in any one of a plurality of horizontal angular settings to thereby determine the horizontal direction in which the snow is discharged, said adjusting means comprising a handle and a lever releasably connected between said pipe and said handle, said lever having a plurality of apertures extending longitudinally spaced relation therealong, and pin means carried by said handle positionable in a selected one of said apertures.
A mobile snow plough comprising:
- a pair of similarly constructed main bodies each having a generally box-like configuration and an open front end, said main bodies being connected in side-by-side relationships;
- a drive shaft mounted rotatably and horizontally within each of said bodies;
- a snow collecting and propelling blade carried by each of said drive shafts for rotation therewith;
- a prime mover means for driving each of said drift shafts;
- a snow discharge pipe mounted rotatably on each of said bodies and adapted to receive snow propelled by the respective blade and to discharge said snow in a selected azimuthal direction;
- and
- adjusting means for selectively fixing said discharge pipes in any one of a plurality of horizontal angular settings to thereby determine the horizontal direction in which the snow is discharged, said adjusting means comprising a handle and a lever releasably connected between one of said pipes and said handle, said lever having a plurality of apertures extending in longitudinally spaced relation therealong, pin means carried by said handle positionable in a selected one of said apertures, and an endless connection member connecting said discharge pipes, whereby manipulation of said lever provides simultaneous adjustment of the horizontal angular position of both of said discharge pipes.
