- This invention relates generally to wheelchair attachments and snow removal equipment and, more particularly, to a snowplow and mount assembly for removably securing and use of a snowplow with a wheelchair.
- Every winter people are left trapped in their homes due to heavy snowfall because they are confined to a wheelchair and do not have friends or family available to shovel their driveways, walkways, and doorways. Especially in the northern parts of the United States, people are forced to remain in their homes for three months (or more) of every year. It is desirable to provide a solution to allow those bound to a wheelchair to easily and independently remove snow from around their homes.
- The present invention provides a snowplow and mounting assembly having a mounting frame for use with a wheelchair wherein the mounting frame has one side with a snowplow facing away from the wheelchair and has another side that faces the wheelchair and is adapted to cooperate with the wheelchair in use to plow snow. An illustrative embodiment of the invention provides a snowplow and mounting assembly that comprises a mounting frame for releasable connection to a wheelchair; a snowplow blade disposed on one side of the frame; first and second pivotal linkages disposed on the other side of the frame for releasably engaging first and second wheels of a wheelchair; and at least one handle disposed on the frame adapted to be operated by user of the wheelchair.
- In another embodiment, the invention comprises a snowplow and mount assembly comprising a mounting frame adapted to be releasably connected to a wheelchair, wherein the mounting frame comprises a front side on which a snowplow blade is disposed and a back side which faces toward and is adjacent to the wheelchair. The mounting frame and snowplow blade can be constructed from metal, plastic, wood or any other material of sufficient strength for plowing snow. The mounting frame includes first and second pivotal linkages disposed on its back side proximate outer peripheral side regions thereof. Further, the mounting frame can include at least one handle attached to the frame which would allow the user to lift the snowplow.
- The first and second pivotal linkages include respective pivotal linkage arms that can be connected by the user to the first (left) and second (right) wheels of a wheelchair to releasably secure the snowplow onto a wheelchair while it is in use. To keep the linkage arms in place during use, a locking element can be connected between the pivotal linkages and the mounting frame. The first and second linkage arms are disposed on respective pivot shafts, which are connected to a pivot support, such as a bracket. The pivot support can be connected to the back side of the mounting frame by welding, mechanical fasteners, and the like. Further, the first and second pivotal linkage arms can include a respective pivot-shaft receiving member, which is disposed on and can pivot or rotate on the respective pivot shaft. The pivot motion allows the linkage arms to be releasably engaged to first and second wheels of a wheelchair. The pivotal linkages can comprise a hinge, pivot joint or other pivot mechanism.
- The handle can be connected to the mounting frame and can be constructed from metal, plastic, or other material. Because the snowplow and mounting assembly is releasably connected to the wheels of a wheelchair, it allows the user to easily lift and pivot the snowplow up and down during use about region of linkage arm/wheel engagement.
- Finally, the snowplow and mounting assembly can include a bottom edge that is disposed on and forms part of the mounting frame and extends past the front side of the frame. The bottom edge can be at the bottom of the front side of the frame and can extend beyond the front side to include sharpened blades, which can allow the snowplow to cut under the snow for easier removal of snow. Also, when there is no snow, the sharpened blades can be used to slice through weeds or grass.
