Description: |
| Abstract:
This invention relates to improvements in that type of snow removing apparatus in which a blower serves to blow the snow to either side of the roadway, or into a snow loading vehicle. Such apparatus, when used for road clearing purposes, is generally mounted at the front end of a motor driven truck and comprises a blower into which the snow is fed by suitable conveying means during forward travel of the truck. In some instances the blower is provided with a stationary casing having an outlet communicating with either a stationary or rotatably mounted delivery spout through which the snow is delivered to a suitable point of discharge. In other instances the delivery spout is omitted and the blower casing rotatably mounted so that the peripheral outlet through which the snow is blown by the fan or impeller may be selectively directed toward either side of the roadway. In still other instances two spouts, arranged to direct the snow toward opposite sides of the roadway, are used in combination with a stationary blower casing and a valve which is operated to direct the snow from the blower into either of said spouts.
Claim:
In mobile snow removing apparatus of the character described, the combination of a blower including a rotatably mounted vertical blower casing provided with a front inlet and a peripheral outlet, a delivery spout mounted above the blower to receive snow from the outlet of the blower casing when said outlet is positioned directly beneath said spout, and means for rotating the blower casing relatively to said spout to position said outlet beneath the spout or to direct said outlet toward either side of the roadway along which the apparatus is travelling. |
