Snow shaving auger

Abstract

This invention is basically a snow blower auger the helical peripheries being bent at a constant angle in the direction of helical progression parallel with both their axis and outermost edges, of each auger helix, directing snow toward the ejection chute / impeller with nips of its periphery being removed to begin a new shave point thus shaving hard packed snow from the end of a driveway or such.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a snow blower machine with a plurality of angled auger helixes that can safely and efficiently remove hard packed snow from a path. The angle of bend in the direction of helical progression is important and needs to be carefully considered based on the capabilities of the engine and shear bolts used in each subject snow blower machine. The invention solves the problem of shoving hard packed snow from side to side or clawing it, which is inefficient or dangerous in the most recent art. The snow blower machine removes hard packed snow gently and safely by shaving it off using the angled auger helixes.

Problems solved by technology

A horizontal snow auger with a plurality of helixes the peripheries of which are continuously bent parallel to their axis and outermost edges and at an angle in the direction of helical progression (as the unit is intended to rotate when put to service), with several nips being removed from its periphery facilitating the gentle and safe but effective shaving off and removing of hard packed snow instead of shoving hard packed snow from side to side (in old art) or clawing (in newer art), which is inefficient or Dangerous in the most recent art.

Too small of bend off helical plane (1 degree) may overtax the engine and blow the head gasket and / or break the shear bolt.

Too great of bend off helical plane (91 degrees) may be less taxing on the engine and shear bolt but not get as much work done as could be done at another angle.
