Problems solved by technology

The types of plows referred to are usually expensive, require considerable time to attach to a truck, and include structural features which makes them impractical for use with cars.
For example, such plows commonly include a hydraulic pump assembly mounted externally of the vehicle, a feature which increases the exposure of the operating components to adverse weather conditions and increases the lik

Embodiment Construction

[0035]Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for purposes of illustrating embodiments of the invention only and not for purposes of limiting the same, FIG. 1 shows a vehicle plow depicted generally at 1. The vehicle plow 1 or snow plow 1 may be selectively removable from a vehicle 3, which may be an automobile. The snow plow 1 may be constructed to easily install and detach from the area around the bumper 4 of the vehicle 3. By easily installed it is meant that the snow plow 1 may be attached to the vehicle 3 without the use of tools as is typically required for larger snow plows such as those connected to the frame of a truck. Accordingly, straps and / or other retaining means 32 may be used to fasten the snow plow 1 to the bumper 4, hood or undercarriage of the vehicle 3 as will be discussed in detail in a subsequent paragraph. The snow plow 1 may be lightweight and conveniently lifted and carried by an operator or driver of the vehicle 3. In one embodiment, the snow...

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a lightweight car-mounted snowplow which includes one or more plow blades, a mounting member or mesh belt, and retainers, which may comprise straps, for securing the plow blade or blades to a vehicle or the bumper of a vehicle. The snow plow may include plow blade sections having a leading and a trailing end and having enhanced blade edges located at the bottom of each plow blade section. The plow head may be inverted to change the angle at which snow is deflected. The plow blade may be constructed from a lightweight polymer, such as for example plastic, and may include hollow portions for creating storage space for one or more of the remaining plow components.
