ABSTRACT:
A snowplow mounting apparatus for use on trucks and the like is provided in which a pair of clam-shell plates are mounted on the front of the truck in place of the usual bumper. The plates are pivotally joined together at the top. The removed bumper is mounted on the outer plate of the clam-shell and the actuating hydraulic cylinder is mounted within the clam-shell where it is fully protected. The plow blade is mounted on the outer clam-shell with a quick disconnect feature and a pair of cam surfaces is mounted on the inside of the clam-shell plates. The hydraulic cylinder through cam followers cooperatively engaging said cam surfaces force the plates apart about the pivot point of the clam-shell which raises the plow from engagement with the surface being plowed. The entire mounting apparatus being positioned in place of the bumper, with the bumper on the front of it offers a clean, unobstructed front bumper for the truck that will function as the original bumper was intended to function without interfering protrusions extending forward of the front bumper when the plow blade apparatus is removed.
