IMPROVEMENT IN SNOW-PLOWS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l77,l77, dated May 9, 1876; application tiled June 15, 1875.
To all whom @t may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT S. VAN ZANDT, of Williamsburg, Kings county, State ot' New York, have invented certain Improvements in Snow-Plows, of which thefollowing is a specincation:
The object of my invention is to provide for the breaking up of the snow in front of a railroad snow-plow, so that the plow can more readily push the snow ott' from the track.
My invention consists in placing a revolving axle, with a number of brushesand arms -attached to the same, in the front part ot' the plow. This axle is placed in holes cut through the sides of the plow, and, being parallel to less belt or by gearing-wheels placed on both The axle with the arms and brushes in the fore part of the plow, thus made to revolve with the wheelaxle, will break up the packed snow which presses against the sides ofthe snow-plow, and in snch a loose state the snow will be easily pushed from the track. l
In order to be able to run the snow-plow turning the plow around, I place a snow-plow in front of each pair of car-wheels, with the front ends pointing to the front of the lcars. These plows are thus in every respect similar to each other, as above described.
By this arrangement the brushes and arms on the'axle inthe rear Will serve to remove any loose snow laying on the track.
In order to more fully describe my invention, I refer to the accompanying drawing,
forming `a part ot' this specication.-
Figure I is a side View of al snow-plow embodying my invention. Fig. II is a bottom view of the same. j
A representsa railroad-wagon with axles a a and wheels b b. To the bottom c ot' the Wagon A are att-ached the snow-plows D D.
In the-holes or journals e e are placed the y brushes and arms G revolved b lille 7s h".
and endless belts K, the axles F being parallel toy the drivingaxles a, and passing through journals e in the plows D, and supporting their brushes or arms G by the sides of the plows D and over the rails ofthe track, substantially as shown and described.
