ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses a snowplow for vehicles including a central, generally vertically extending hinge having blade sections on either side allowing the plow to be positioned in a forwardly projecting V shape, a recessed cupped shape, or angled to either side or laterally across the width of the vehicle. The hinge and blade sections are supported by a vertically extending hinge support member secured to and tapering toward the support frame from above and below the support frame. Means on the rear of the blade sections provide contacts or stops limiting rearward pivoting of the blades. Apparatus for laterally extending the blades as well as for horizontally hinging the vertically hinged blade to avoid obstacles during plowing is included. Also disclosed are a kit and method for converting a rigid, elongated snowplow to the said hinged snowplow.
