ABSTRACT:
A drag-along snow apparatus for use upon a snow covered ground surface. The snow plow apparatus includes a first substantially planar and elongate extending member and a second substantially planar and elongate extending member which are interconnected along a common vertical edge and which form, in combination, a substantially V-shaped configuration. First and second planar and horizontally arrayed cross members extend between the first and second elongate extending members and brace the connection between the elongate extending members. A length of rope is secured to the plow apparatus via a looped end which extends successively through a first rope support aperture located at a forward end of said elongate extending member and a second rope support aperture located at a forward end of said second elongate extending member. The rope permits a user to drag the plow apparatus along a snow covered ground surface. A vertically extending shaft extends in a parallel and inwardly spaced relationship relative to the common vertical edge of the plow apparatus. The shaft is journalled within a plurality of supports and provides the user with the ability to pivot the plow apparatus in a controlled manner during translational motion. A bottom and outwardly flared edge extends in continuous fashion and along an exterior facing surface of the first and second planar and elongate extending members, the flared edge forming a lip which facilitates in pushing the snow outwardly and away from the plow during translational motion.
