    DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • Referring to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1 to 4, a snow thrower attached to a vehicle (not shown) generally indicated as (A) including a plurality of bars (33) mounted to each side portion (8) and (13) which can be also assembled in the opposite direction.
  • Each side portion (8) and (13) has removable plates (9) that can be pulled out for making the maintenance of the driving system of the snow thrower.
  • Each skid shoe (12) is mounted under each side portion (8) and (13) of the snow thrower for scraping and pushing snow inside the opening of the rotating arched wall (1) in moving forward or in the opposite direction.
  • A supporting structure (32) is approximately fixed in middle of each bar (33).
  • A bracket (38) is fixed to each fastening piece (35) located on a bar (33), and connected to a bar (36) which is fixed to each fastening piece (34) located on a second bar (33).
  • A connecting part (37) is fixed to a junction differential (26) and to PTO of the vehicle (not shown).
  • A second junction differential (26) is connected to a drive rod (27) which is assembled to each component (28)(29)(10)(30)(31)(24)(25)(23) and (10), and which are engaged and fixed to side portion (8) of the snow thrower.
  • A rotating arched wall (1) is disposed inside the structure of the snow thrower having sides portion (8) and (13) which are interconnected to each side (2) of the rotating arched wall (1) having each an opening for engaging a drive shaft (20) that is mounted inside hollow tube of the unidirectional endless screw (19).
  • Each interchangeable blade (5) and (6) permitting to scrape in moving forward or in the opposite direction, are connected to each plate (3) fixed to rotating arched wall (1) and to each side (2) mounted to rotating arched wall (1).
