ABSTRACT:
A snow plow, designed to fit on small vehicles, is disclosed. The plow has a single point connection to the vehicle. A novel yoke mounting scheme is also disclosed, which enables the blade to be angled. The plow is operated by a pneumatic means, controlled from within the vehicle. All operating connections to the vehicle are made through a single power cord. All pneumatic lines are self contained within the plow, thereby eliminating the need for air hoses to be connected or installed on the vehicle. The plow has an upstop device that is used to block upward travel of the plow. The upstop is used to prevent the plow from obscuring the headlights of the vehicle. An uplock is also provided which acts to lock the plow blade in an non-operating position when the plow is not needed, thereby preventing the possibility of the blade dropping to the road and causing an accident. The plow is designed to be removed quickly and easily from the vehicle for storage.
