OLOF H. SELLIN AND CAR A. CARLSEN, or WETASKIWIN, ALBERTA, CANADA.
. SNOW-PLOW.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Mar. 28, 1916.
Application filed August 8, 1914. Serial No. 855,882.
To all whomz't may concern:
Be 1t known that we, .OLor H. SELLIN and CARL A. CARLs N, citizens of Canada, resldlng at lrVetaskiwm, 1n the Province of Alberta and Dominion of Canada, have invented new and useful Improvements in Snow-Flows, of which the following is a specification.
The invention has relation to machines for clearing railroad tracks of snow and like obstructing matter, the purpose being to provide a machine which when used upon a double track will not remove the snow from one track and pile the same upon the adjacent track but which will remove the snow so as to prevent its obstructing either one of a double track.
The invention consists of a track clearer which delivers the snow removed from one track to a safe distance, thereby preventing its obstructing either one of the tracks with the result that the operation is facilitated and the cost of removing obstructing matter minimized.
The invention consists of a gatherer for collecting the snow, a fan for loosening and breaking up the snow and throwing the same outward, and a pipe or like conductor for carrying off the snow or other matter to a suitable point of discharge at one side of the tracks.
The invention consists of the novel features, details of construction and combination of parts, which hereinafter will be more particularly set forth, illustrated and claimed.
In the drawings hereto attached :-Figure 1 is a side view of a track clearing machine embodying the invention, the gatherer being in section and a portion of the car being broken away. Fig. 2 is a front view. g
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description, and indicated in all the views ofthe drawings by the same reference characters. 7
The machine embodies a car 1 which receives the motive power and the operator, said car being mounted upon wheels so as to run upon the track. We employ in connection with a car of this type, .an improved gatherer 2 which is preferably constructed of an integral piece of sheet metal bent to provide the gatherer with a bottom wall 2, opposed sidewalls 2 and a top 7 wall 2, the said walls merging in a rear ward direction to provide the g atherer-with L "a flared mouth portion 2 and a contracted discharge end 2*. The contracted :end. 2 of the gatherer is bent inwardly to provide an angular attaching flange 2 having fasteners 25 passing through the same and the front wall of the car 1 for detachably connecting the gatherer 2 thereto. The manner of attaching the gatherer to the car permits of a quick detachment or attachment of the gatherer to said car.
It will be observed from the disclosure of Fig. 2 of the drawing that the bottom wall 2 protrudes beyond the free end of the upper wall 2 to provide the gatherer with a scoop-shaped end whereby the snow in a compact state along the tracks will be readily loosened. A discharge pipe 3 is connected with the contracted discharge end 2 of the gatherer and toward one side of the track so as to discharge the snow or other obstructing matter in the way to prevent its obstructing either single or double tracks. The snow after being loosened by the scoop end of the gatherer is'drawn in a direction toward the discharge end of the gatherer by means of a fan 4 and forced" outwardly through the pipe 3 by centrifugal action. The fan 4 may be of any construc tion and is attached to the front end of a shaft 5 and mounting the fanwithin the contracted discharge end 2 of the gatherer, and the shaft 5 extends into the 'car 1 and is coupled to the motive power by means of which the fan is driven.
The machine is adapted to be propelled over the track to be cleared and the fan to be rotated in the ordinary manner.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the advantages of the construction and of the method of operation will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which a rotary fan located Within the contracted discharge end of the gatherer and adapted to collect the matter loosened by the scoop end of the gatherer and discharge the same through the said discharge pipe.
In testimony whereof we atfix our signa- V tures in presence of two Witnesses.
