PLOW MECHANISM SPRING ASSEMBLY

摘要

A spring assembly defining an elongated axis and includes an axially elongated connector articulately connected toward a first end to a first member and articulately connected toward a second end to a second member for joining and permitting pivotal movements between the first and second members. Two springs are arranged axially relative to each other along and about the connector between the first and second ends thereof. An alignment member is disposed between the two springs for aligning adjacent ends of the two springs relative to each other and relative to an elongated axis of the spring assembly. The alignment member defines a generally centralized opening adapted to slidably move along and relative to the connector.

主权项

1. An axially elongated spring assembly for releasably maintaining a plow blade in a predetermined position about a generally horizontal axis, said spring assembly comprising:
an elongated retractable/extendable connector arranged in general coaxial alignment with an elongated axis of said spring assembly, with a first end of said connector being operably connected to said plow blade and a second end being operably connected to a plow blade frame; two springs arranged axially relative to each other between the first and second ends of and along said elongated guide; and an alignment member disposed between adjacent ends of said two springs, with said alignment member defining a generally centralized opening adapted to slidably move along and relative to said elongated guide so as to align the opposed ends of said two springs relative to each other and relative to an elongated axis defined by said elongated connector.
