Snowplow mounting assembly

Abstract

In combination a mount frame adapted to be attached to a vehicle and a snowplow assembly. The mount frame comprises a pair of detachable receivers which receive a pair of horns extending rearwardly from the snowplow assembly. The snowplow assembly comprises an A-frame, a trunnion and a lift frame. A blade is attached to the front of the A-frame. A pair of spaced stand assemblies, each including a latching mechanism, support the snowplow assembly when the mount frame is separated from the snowplow assembly. The latching mechanisms secure the snowplow assembly to the mount frame.

1 . In combination a mount frame adapted to be attached to a vehicle and a snowplow assembly: 
 said mount frame comprising a pair of spaced latch pins;    said snowplow assembly being releasably securable to said mount frame, said snowplow assembly comprising a lift frame supportable by a pair of stand assemblies, said stand assemblies being pivotal about a horizontal pivot axis between a down position in which said stand assemblies support said snowplow assembly and an up position in which said stand assemblies do not support said snowplow assembly, each of said stand assemblies having a latch hook engageable with one of said latch pins of said mount frame, wherein said latch hooks are engaged with said latch pins to secure said snowplow assembly to said mount frame when said stand assemblies are in said up position and disengaged with said latch pins when said stand assemblies are in said down position to allow said mount frame to separate from said snowplow assembly.
