Mounting for plow blade edge system

Abstract

The present disclosure provides for a reinforced elastomeric blade having a plurality of laminated layers. The laminated layers can include at least two layers of elastomeric material at least partially separated by a fiber reinforced laminate layer or an embedded metal layer.

1 . A system for mechanically fastening a plow blade assembly to a moldboard, the system comprising:
 a plow blade including a slotted opening for retaining a bushing; and   a bushing including at least one mounting hole for receiving a bolt.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the slotted opening is a countersunk mounting opening in the plow blade. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bushing is welded to a front face of an associated adapter blade, the bushing providing a mounting arrangement for the plow blade on the adapter blade. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the plow blade is an elastomeric plow blade; wherein the bushing is a platform for holding the plow blade in a fixed position. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bushing includes a second mounting hole, the first and second mounting holes for adjusting a mounting position of the plow blade relative to an associated adapter blade. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the first mounting hole for rotating the plow blade relative to the associated adapter blade and the second mounting hole for lowering the plow blade relative to the associated adapter blade. 
     
     
         7 . A system for mechanically fastening a clamp bar, a plow blade and adapter blade to a mold board, the system comprising:
 a clamp bar including a clamp mounting hole for receiving a bolt;   a plow blade including a slotted opening for retention of a bushing;   the bushing including at least one bushing mounting hole for mounting the plow blade and the clamp bar to an adapter blade;   an adapter blade including a first adapter mounting hole for mounting the plow blade and the clamp bar to the adapter blade.   wherein each of the clamp mounting hole, at least one bushing mounting hole, and adapter mounting hole can be aligned with operative to receive a bolt.   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the slotted opening is a countersunk mounting opening in the plow blade. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bushing is welded to a front face of the adapter blade, the bushing providing a platform for holding the plow blade in a fixed position. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bushing includes a second bushing mounting hole, the first and second bushing mounting holes for adjustable mounting positions of the plow blade and the clamp bar. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the first and second bushing mounting holes provide alternative mounting positions for lowering the plow blade relative to the adapter blade as the plow blade is worn along a lower edge. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the clamp bar adapter hole is counter sunk. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first adapter mounting hole is counter sunk. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a second adapter mounting hole in the adapter blade, the second adapter mounting hole for mounting the adapter blade to the mold board. 
 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , further comprising nuts and bolts for fastening the clamp bar to the adapter blade and the adapter blade to the mold board. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the second adapter mounting hole is countersunk. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the clamp bar is slidably removeable from the mounting bolt for changing a position of the plow blade. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the plow blade is an elastomeric blade.
