<p>A self-propelled ice shaving machine suitable for use in skating rinks or the like includes a pair of power rotary cutters positioned immediately beyond the steerable front wheels of the vehicle. A suction blower removes ice chips and cuttings blown upwardly from the rotary cutter blades and conveys the cuttings and chips to a receptacle disposed above the vehicle chassis. The vehicle is powered by means of an internal combustion engine and means are provided to connect the engine in heat exchange relationship with the receptacle thereby to cause melting of the ice chips. The water derived from the melting of the ice is spread over the surface of the ice at the rear of the machine by means of a suitable water spreader connected to the vehicle chassis.</p> |
