Abstract
In a snow-removing device including a slinger-wheel, the slinger-wheel is preceded by a cutting and conveying mechanism consisting of individual cutting-ejecting segments angularly spaced apart. Cutting elements ensure that wet or hard-frozen snow is broken up and cut loose. Conveying-ejecting elements pass the cut-up snow to the slinger-wheel and provide suitable preliminary acceleration of the snow. The ends of the conveying-ejecting elements are secured to two cutting elements displaced circumferentially in relation to each other by approximately 60.degree. to 120.degree.. Each cutting-ejecting segment comprises at least two conveying-ejecting elements with approximately constant radial spacing along their entire length.
Claims5
A snow-removing device having a rotatable slinger-wheel with the axis of rotation of said slinger-wheel extending in the direction of snow-removal, a cutting and conveying mechanism positioned ahead of the said slinger-wheel in the direction of the axis of rotation and at least two cutting elements in the form of arms extendling approximately radially from the said axis of rotation, said cutting elements spaced apart in the direction of the axis of rotation and spaced angularly apart around the axis of rotation;
- and helically extending conveying-ejection elements and with each end thereof secured to a different one of said cutting elements, characterized in that the ends of the conveying-ejection elements are secured to two angularly consecutive cutting elements spaced apart in the direction of the axis of rotation and spaced angularly apart around the axis of rotation in the range of displaced in relation to each approximately 60.degree. to 120.degree., an ejection segment comprising said cutting elements and said conveying-ejection elements secured thereto, and said ejection segment comprising at least two conveying-ejection elements spaced radially outwardly from the axis of rotation and said at least two conveying-ejection elements being approximately equal spaced apart in the radial direction from the axis of rotation over the entire length thereof between said cutting elements.
