| 20100186267 | Zero clearance attachment - The Zero Clearance Attachment is an attachment device that allows for safely and completely clearing snow or other material away from and right up to and against obstacles, such as buildings, doors, vehicles, machinery, etc. The Zero Clearance Attachment can be quickly attached to a plow, blade, bucket, blower, snow blower, or other equipment, and allow the machine operator using the Zero Clearance Attachment to physically come in contact while moving or otherwise, with the obstacle being cleared around and not cause harm or damage to the obstacle. The soft flex edge of the Zero Clearance Attachment can slide along the obstacle allowing for more complete snow or other material removal. The flex edge can deflect back and away from an obstacle to prevent damage to the obstacle. The Zero Clearance Attachment is comprised of a rigid frame with a flex edge on the outward end of the frame. The flex edge can embody many designs including a spring resistance deflection mechanism, a pivot mechanism or a retracting mechanism. The Zero Clearance Attachment can be mounted on the end of a plow, blade, bucket, blower, snow blower, or other equipment. | 07-29-2010 |

The plow includes a first pair of wear strips, with one wear strip coupled to the first end of the center blade and the other wear strip coupled to one wing blade. A second pair of wear strips is included, with one wear strip coupled to the second end of the center blade and the other wear strip coupled to the other wing blade. A wing pivot tube is coupled to the wing blades and center blade at each end of the center blade. The wing blade, wear strips, and wing pivot tube at each end of the center blade minimize a gap between the blades throughout the range of movement of each wing blade. | 03-22-2012 |
| 20120216434 | PLOW WITH PIVOTING BLADE WING(S) - A plow assembly for attachment to a vehicle, the vehicle having a longitudinal axis, comprises a plow blade having first and second ends, a first plow wing pivotally mounted to the first end of the plow blade, a plow support adapted to be mounted to the vehicle, the plow blade being pivotally mounted to the plow support to permit the plow blade to pivot relative to the vehicle between a center position, where the plow blade is positioned generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and a first position, where the first end of the plow blade is pivoted toward the vehicle, and between the center position and a second position, where the second end of the plow blade is pivoted toward the vehicle, and either a single link rod, a resilient connecting member, or a cam and follower mechanism connected to the first plow wing and to the plow support and configured to pivot the first plow wing relative to the plow blade during pivoting of the plow blade relative to the vehicle such that when the plow blade is in the center position the first plow wing is angled forwardly relative to the plow blade, when the plow blade is in the first position the first plow wing is generally parallel to the plow blade, and when the plow blade is in the second position the first plow wing is angled forwardly relative to the plow blade. | 08-30-2012 |
| 20130263480 | Plow Including Independently Movable Wings - A plow, including a center blade and an articulated wing blade pivotally attached to each end of the center blade. Each wing blade is configured to selectively move independently of the central plow blade from a first position to a second position about a vertical axis parallel with each of the first and second ends of the central plow blade. | 10-10-2013 |
| 20140230290 | PLOW WITH PIVOTING BLADE WING - A plow assembly for attachment to a vehicle having a longitudinal axis comprises a plow blade having first and second ends, a first plow wing pivotally mounted to the first end of the plow blade, and a plow support adapted to be operably mounted to the vehicle. The first plow wing is biased by a first compression. A first connecting member is connected to the first plow wing, passes through the first compression spring generally coaxially therewith, and is connected to the plow support. The first connecting member is configured to pivot the first plow wing relative to the plow blade during pivoting of the plow blade from a center position to a first position such that when the plow blade is in the first position the first plow wing is generally parallel to the plow blade. | 08-21-2014 |
| 20140250740 | EXTENDABLE PLOW - An extendable plow is disclosed. The extendable plow may include a transitional cutting edge disposed on a bottom edge of the center section, the transitional cutting edge allows moved material to transition from one plowing surface to another. The extendable plow may include a pair of compression springs coupled to the back facing of the center section of the extendable plow, the pair of compression springs to trip the extendable plow. The extendable plow may also include a center section with a side extension on each side of the center section that may be extended to a plurality of predetermined lengths to accommodate different sized work environments and move more material. | 09-11-2014 |

| 20110214316 | Contoured snow shovel with narrow apex - A contoured snow shovel facilitates the removal of snow and ice. The contoured snow shovel is constructed with a handle attached to an arm portion which, in turn, extends to a shovel segment. The shovel segment comprises a contoured converging blade. Vertical side walls of the contoured converging blade are joined together to form a narrow apex. Due to the narrow apex, the shovel head easily cuts through snow layers and ice. Broken-up particles of the snow and ice collecting along either side of the shovel head, are moved substantially simultaneously in opposite, lateral directions, and plowed from the pathway being shoveled. Walkways and motor pathways are thereby cleared quickly, at low cost in a reliable, efficient manner. | 09-08-2011 |
| 20150308059 | Directional Shovel - The present invention relates to a hand or motorized push shovel/plow with directional left or right side disbursement of snow, granular material, thicker liquids and other such desired materials with ease and comfort. The shovel allows a user to direct a shoveled load to a first or a second side of the shovel while moving the shovel in a substantially straight direction and generally comprises a handle, a shaft extending from the handle to a base shovel blade, and a steering mechanism secured along a portion of the shaft or handle and in steering communication with a directional shovel blade that is in a relational arrangement on top of the base shovel blade. The steering mechanism allows a user to angle the directional blade in a left or right direction. | 10-29-2015 |
| 20150330044 | DOUBLE-BLADED MANUAL SNOW REMOVING DEVICE - This present invention is a double-bladed manual snow removing device having a front and a back blade hinged together. The blades can be opened at an acute angle or can be closed contiguously to each other. A handle, attached to the back blade, can swivel in a vertical plane. There are three ways the present device can be used to remove snow: pushing, pulling or lifting. When pushing, the front blade member pushes snow at the acute angle out of the path while the back blade member, which is the trailing blade, scrapes at any remaining snow which, when dislodged, is pushed forward by the back blade member. When pulling, it is the front blade member which is the trailing blade. With the blades closed contiguously to each other and the handle locked to the back blade, the device function as a conventional snow shovel. | 11-19-2015 |
| 20160024733 | Back-Saver Snow Shovel - An apparatus includes a handle configured to be held by a user. The apparatus also includes a curled bucket configured to collect material. The curled bucket having a base configured to be moved along a surface to collect the material. The apparatus also includes a pivot member connecting the handle and the curled bucket. The pivot member allows the angular orientation of the curled bucket relative to the handle to be adjusted as directed by a force being applied to the pivot member by the handle. | 01-28-2016 |
