Abstract
A snow plow having a curved blade with a bottom scraping edge and rearwardly extending horizontally positioned mounting means. Two wheels each having a hub are each attached to a frame member with an outer cylindrical member having the bottom thereof connected to the associated wheel hub by a horizontally disposed strut and having the top thereof connected to the horizontally disposed strut by an angularly disposed strut. An inner cylindrical member is fixedly mounted to each of the mounting means for each wheel, the inner cylindrical members being adapted to fit inside of an associated one of the outer cylindrical members to mount the two wheels to the snow plow blade, and means providing vertical adjustment of the curved blade with respect to the wheel hub and the ground upon which the wheel rests.
Claims13
A snow plow having an adjustable wheel comprising a curved blade portion having a bottom scraping edge and a mounting plate extending rearwardly from the rear surface of said plow, a wheel connected to the rear of said snow plow by a frame member, said frame member having horizontal strut means mounted at one end to the axle of said wheel and at the other end to said mounting plate extending from the rear of said plow, and means for vertically adjusting said plow with respect to said wheel axle, said frame member further including upper and lower plates each having an axially aligned aperture therein;
- an outer cylinder mounted between and connected to said upper and lower plates, said horizontal strut means is a pair of horizontal struts interconnecting said lower plate with the hub of the associated wheel, an inner cylinder fixedly mounted on said mounting plate to fit within said outer cylinder to mount said wheel and frame member to said plow.
A snow plow having a curved blade having a longitudinal dimension with a bottom scraping edge and rearwardly extending horizontally positioned mounting means, two wheels each having a hub, a frame member for each wheel including an outer cylindrical member having the bottom thereof connected to the associated wheel hub by a horizontally disposed strut and having the top thereof connected to the horizontally disposed strut by an angularly disposed strut, an inner cylindrical member fixedly mounted to said mounting means for each wheel, said inner cylindrical members being spaced apart along the longitudinal dimension of said snow plow blade each adapted to fit inside of an associated one of said outer cylindrical members to mount said two wheels to said snow plow blade, and means providing vertical adjustment of said curved blade and said bottom scraping edge with respect to said wheel hub and the ground upon which said wheel rests.
