Definitions

• the snow removal members constituted by a cutter or turbo-cutter do not have sufficient relative movement relative to the vehicle.
• Most machines collect snow from the running surface. Vehicles fitted with a cutter cannot deliver a snow depth much higher than that of the cutter drum. This is why, on a road where the snow depth exceeds five meters, it is necessary to use a tracked vehicle capable of moving on snow and which pro dera by delivering snow in successive horizontal slices from top to bottom until it reaches the ground.
• a snow transport system can be associated independently or dependent on the sampling device object of the invention.
• the snow throw will then be directed to this transport system which can be a truck tipper, a conveyor belt, pneumatic means of transport or any other means of transport.
• FIG. 7 shows in perspective a pneumatic transport system associated with the device of the invention
• the snow is guided into the introduction opening of the injector by a channel 65 of suitable shape which pivots with the arm 1 while remaining centered above the opening of introduction.
• the means of transport is a conveyor belt 66, as can be seen in FIG. 8, the snow will be guided under the same conditions in the opening of a hopper 67.
• the guide channel can take various forms, ensuring a discontinuous or continuous connection with the ejection stack of the cutter. If the means of transport is a carried or towed skip, the snow throw will be directed there permanently by the pivoting of the mobile part 40 and the tilting of the cap 42 as seen in FIG. 1, these two movements being remotely controlled from the cockpit.
• the hoses and conduits ensuring the flow of the hydraulic fluid or the electrical conductors are suitably fixed to the fixed parts or to the cable 20 of FIG. 1 by means of rings or rollers 68. Due to the displacement of the cutter in translation, the hoses and conductors can be stored either by winding on drums 69 placed at the rear of the vehicle or at any other place; they can also be stored by hauling or by any other means.
• the device that is the subject of the invention can be used in all operations where snow transfer proves necessary, which is the case with snow removal from large areas in collaboration with bow machines, roadworks, pedestrian walkways, courses and places on the ski slopes and the end areas of the ski lifts where the superabundant snowfall is annoying. Snow transfer is also necessary for partial or total snow cover on ski slopes when natural snow cover is insufficient, using different means of transport.
