SNOW REMOVING ATTACHMENT FOR TRUCKS Filed March 25, 1936 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Patented Apr. 27, 1937 PATENT: OFFICE SNOW REMOVING ATTACHMENT FOR TRUCKS John J. Berres, Two Rivers, Wis.
Application March 25,
1 Claim.
This invention relates to an apparatus for removing snow from roads, an object being to provide a structure of this character which can be sold as an attachment complete in itself for use in connection with an ordinary motor truck whereby snow lying in the path of the truck can, during the forward movement of the apparatus be deflected laterally for entrance into a collecting flue with which is associated a blower whereby the collected snow will be discharged upwardly and laterally beyond one side of the cleared portion of the road.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claim, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.
In said drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of a truck to which of the attachment being broken away.
Figure 2 is a plan view.
Figure 3 is a front elevation.
Figure 4 is a section on line 4-4, Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of a brace which can be used for supporting the collecting flue.
Figure 6 is a perspective view showing means employed for joining the scraper to the front axle of the truck.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference l designates a base on which is mounted an internal combustion engine 2 which drives the shaft 3 of a blower 4 located in a casing 5 40 likewise mounted on the base.
An air pipe 6 extends from the casing 5 to a nozzle 1 which is located in a snow collecting flue or conduit 8 having an upstanding portion 9 attached, as at ID, to one side of the base I while its upper end is extended laterally away from base I and engine 2 to provide an outlet portion it. The lower portion of the flue or conduit 8 is extended forwardly as at l2 and has a shovelthe extension l3. Small rollers l4 or other sup- 50 porting means can be attached to the forward end portion of the flue or conduit for the purpose of holding the extension l3 out of direct contact with the surface from which snow is being removed, thereby reducing friction to the minimum. A stud Hi can be extended upwardly the attachment has been connected, a portion 1936, Serial No. 70,878
from the forwardly extended portion l2 of the conduit for engagement with a laterally extending bracket [5 which can be fastened to one side of the body or chassis of a truck.
The nozzle 1 is preferably positioned adjacent 5 to the bottom of the upstanding portion 9 of the conduit and is adapted to deliver a jet of air upwardly within said portion and towards the outlet H.
Thrust bars l6 are provided for attachment 10 to the front axle A of a truck, a split angular collar I! being preferably utilized for attaching each bar to the axle. These bars are joined at their forward ends to a diagonally disposed scraper l8 of such length as to extend across the front of a truck, the delivery or rearmost end of the scraper being located in front of one side portion of the shovel I3 as shown particularly in Figure 2. A brace l9 can connect one end portion of the scraper to the forward end portion of the conduit so that the several parts of the attachment thus are normally connected and will be properly braced while in operation.
A truck of any suitable construction has been indicated generally at T and when the present improvements are used in connection therewith, the base I is bolted or otherwise fastened on the body of the truck while bracket [5 is attached to and extended laterally from one side thereof. After the thrust bars it have been attached to the front axle A the entire attachment is properly assembled with the truck and ready for use.
The engine 2 is started so as to drive the blow- -er 4 and create a strong air current within the portions 9 and II of the conduit. This current will be of suflicient strength to draw snow along the forwardly extended portion of the conduit l2 and propel it upwardly and laterally through the portions 9 and II. As the truck moves forwardly the scraper l8 deflects laterally the snow in the path thereof so that it is caused to move into the path of the advancing shovel l3, which,
in turn, collects the snow and directs it into the portion l2 of the conduit.
When it is not desired to use the snow removing attachment, it can be easily disconnected from the truck, as will be apparent, and said truck used for other purposes.
What is claimed is:
A snow removing attachment for a motor truck or the like including a base adapted to be supported and secured on a truck body, a motor carried by the base, a blower on the base receiving motion from the motor, a conduit extending upwardly across one side of the base and having a forwardly extending inlet below the level of the base and a laterally extended outlet above the level of the base, a nozzle within the inlet portion of the conduit and positioned to direct a jet of air toward the outlet end of the conduit, a pipe connection between the nozzle and the outlet of the blower, means overlying the inlet portion of the conduit for connecting the same to one side of a truck, a scraper obliquely disposed beyond one side of the inlet portion of the conduit for directing scraped snow into the path of the conduit, a shovel at the inlet end of the conduit, a connection between the scraper and said inlet 'portion of the conduit, and means for attaching the scraper to the front end of a. truck.
