ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an automatic coupling mechanism for snow-plows and the like, provided by a first frame means which is attachable to a propelling vehicle for cooperating with a frame structure of a snow-plow for moving the plow along the road. A second frame means is provided for lockably connecting with the first frame means. Guide means are provided for guiding the first frame means into lockable relative position with the second frame means. Securing means carried by one of the frame means are provided for locking the first and second frame means together when in a lockable position such that as to prevent relative horizontal and vertical motion between the first and second frame means when locked together. Pivotal support means are provided at both the second frame means and the plow frame structure for supporting the plow, allowing free relative vertical movement of the plow with respect to the first and second frame means and controlling orientation of the plow relative to the second frame means. In addition, the mechanism may be provided with lifting means carried by the two frame means for causing the plow to be raised and held above the road a desired amount.
