Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schaufel-Vorrichtung für einen Schneeschieber, mit einem Schaufelelement mit einer Vorderkante zur Aufnahme von Schnee, einer Oberfläche zum Lagern von Schnee sowie zwei Seitenpaneelen und einem Rückpaneel zum Halten von auf der Oberfläche gelagertem Schnee.The invention relates to a blade device for a snow plow, comprising a blade element having a front edge for receiving snow, a surface for storing snow and two side panels and a rear panel for holding snow stored on the surface.

Schaufel-Vorrichtungen der eingangs genannten Art werden im Stand der Technik im Zusammenhang mit fest damit verbundenen Stiel-Einrichtungen als herkömmliche Schneeschieber verwendet. Ein derartiger Schneeschieber ist beispielsweise aus der deutschen Gebrauchsmusterschrift DE-U-29813485 bekannt. Diese beschreibt einen handgeführten Schneeschieber, der aus einer muldenförmig gestalteten Räumschaufel und einem Stiel besteht. Der Stiel ist in eine Stielaufnahme eingesteckt, die gegenüber der oberen Fläche der Räumschaufel vorsteht und so gestaltet ist, dass der Stiel an der unteren Seite der Räumschaufel angeordnet werden kann. Hierbei wird der Stiel in bekannter Weise mittels einer Schraube oder einem Nagel gesichert.Bucket devices of the type mentioned above are used in the prior art in connection with firmly associated stem devices as conventional snow pushers. Such a snow shovel is for example from the German utility model DE-U-29813485 known. This describes a hand-held snow pusher, which consists of a trough-shaped scraper blade and a handle. The stem is inserted into a stem receptacle that projects from the top surface of the reamer blade and is configured to position the stem at the bottom of the reamer blade. Here, the stem is secured in a known manner by means of a screw or a nail.

Die bekannten Schaufel-Vorrichtungen weisen jedoch den Nachteil auf, dass sie nicht mit im Stand der Technik ebenfalls bekannten austauschbaren Stiel-Einrichtungen kombinierbar sind.However, the known blade devices have the disadvantage that they can not be combined with art-known interchangeable handle devices.

DE-U-29813485 zeigt eine Schaufel-Vorrichtung mit Einkerbung und Lager gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. DE-U-29813485 shows a scoop device with notch and bearing according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es deshalb, eine Schaufel-Vorrichtung zu schaffen, die für eine Kombination mit herkömmlichen Stiel-Einrichtungen geeignet ist.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a blade device which is suitable for a combination with conventional stick devices.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass in einem zentralen Bereich des Schaufelelementes eine bezüglich der Oberfläche des Schaufelelementes geschlossen und bezüglich einer Unterfläche des Schaufelelementes offen ausgebildete Einkerbung ausgebildet ist, die ein Lager zur Aufnahme einer Stielaufnahme-Einrichtung enthält.This object is achieved in that in a central region of the blade element with respect to the surface of the blade element closed and formed with respect to a lower surface of the blade element open notch is formed, which contains a bearing for receiving a stem-receiving device.
