Snow removal apparatus

A apparatus for removing snow, said apparatus being for attachment to a snowplow having a plow blade and a mounting frame, said plow blade being coupled to said mounting frame, said mounting frame being for attachment to a vehicle, said plow blade having a front plowing side, a back side, and a lower plowing edge, said apparatus comprising:

• an elongate frame member for positioning adjacent a plow blade back side, said frame member having a mounting portion, a shielding portion, and a pair of opposite ends;
• said mounting portion having a front end, an upper surface, and a lower surface;
• and
• said shielding portion being downwardly extended from said mounting portion, said shielding portion being positioned towards said mounting portion front end;
• a pair of spaced apart mounting ears for mounting to a mounting frame of a snowplow, said mounting ears being extended from said frame member mounting portion upper surface;
• and
• a plurality of finger members being extended substantially perpendicular from said frame member, said finger members being arranged along the length of said frame member, each said finger member having a first side region, a second side region, a S-shaped flexing portion, and a debris plowing portion, each said finger member first side region overlapping said second side region of the adjacent said finger member;
• said S-shaped flexing portion having an upper arcuate region, and a lower arcuate region;
• said upper arcuate region having a concave surface and a convex surface, said upper arcuate region being coupled to said frame member mounting portion lower surface, said upper arcuate region convex surface facing said frame member shielding portion;
• said lower arcuate region having a concave surface and a convex surface, said lower arcuate region concave surface facing said frame member shielding portion;
• and
• said debris plowing portion being downwardly extended from said flexing portion lower arcuate region, said debris plowing portion being extended below said frame member shielding portion, said debris plowing portion being for extending below a lower plowing edge of a primary snowplow apparatus, said debris plowing portion being for engaging a surface for removing debris thereon.
