Snowplow formed of thermoplastic

Abstract

A snowplow assembly may include a snowplow mechanism having a mold board, a structural frame and a scraper blade all formed substantially of a thermoplastic. The mold board and structural frame may be molded together. An alternate snowplow assembly may include a mount assembly having a blade mount assembly, where the mold board, structural frame and blade mount assembly are all formed substantially of a thermoplastic. The mold board, the structural frame and the blade mount assembly may be molded together.

       3 . The snowplow assembly of  claim 2  further comprising:
 a deflector flap formed substantially of a thermoplastic, wherein the mold board, the structural frame and the deflector flap are molded together.   
   
   
       4 . The snowplow assembly of  claim 3  wherein the mold board, the structural frame and the deflector flap are formed substantially of CURV®. 
   
   
       5 . A snowplow assembly comprising:
 a snowplow mechanism having a mold board and a structural frame; and   a mount assembly having a blade mount assembly, wherein the structural frame and the blade mount assembly are formed substantially of a thermoplastic.   
   
   
       6 . The snowplow assembly of  claim 5  wherein the mold board is formed substantially of a metal. 
   
   
       7 . The snowplow assembly of  claim 5  wherein the mold board is formed substantially of a thermoplastic. 
   
   
       8 . The snowplow assembly of  claim 7  wherein the mold board, the structural frame, and the blade mount assembly are formed substantially of CURV®. 
   
   
       9 . The snowplow assembly of  claim 5  wherein the blade mount assembly is detachably connected to the structural frame. 
   
   
       10 . The snowplow assembly of  claim 5  wherein the structural frame and the blade mount assembly are molded together. 
   
   
       11 . The snowplow assembly of  claim 10  wherein the structural frame and the blade mount are formed substantially of CURV®. 
   
   
       12 . The snowplow assembly of  claim 5  wherein the mount assembly further comprises:
 a support assembly formed substantially of a thermoplastic.   
   
   
       13 . The snowplow assembly of  claim 12  wherein the support assembly is detachably connected to the blade mount assembly. 
   
   
       14 . The snowplow assembly of  claim 12  wherein the mount assembly further comprises:
