Wheeled snowplow and sand or salt spreader

Abstract

A manual snowplow and spreader to clear a path of snow and disperse melting agents in a single pass. This snowplow is wheeled and has two adjustable curved blades that move snow to both sides, only left side, only right side or straight ahead. The spreader storage tank disperses material through a funnel, controlled by a flow valve. Personal height adjustments for the vertical and horizontal grips provide comfort and efficiency. Flexible positioning of the front wheels provide two options. First, the front wheels are off the ground, forcing the shovel blades closest to the surface for optimal clearing. Second, the front wheels are on the ground, effectively raising the shovel blades off the ground, making it easiest for dispersal of sand or salt. The wheels are positioned behind the blades, enabling higher snow accumulations to be cleared. The said device is easily assembled and disassembled for convenient storage.

1 . A wheeled snowplow and sand or salt spreader for: clearing snow or other material of an intended path with a spreader to disperse sand or salt to melt the remaining ice or snow comprising: 
 means for holding materials for spreading;    means for dispersing sand or salt, rigidly connected to said means for holding materials for spreading;    means for controlling the movement of snow on the left side;    means for controlling the movement of snow on the right side; and    means for controlling the output flow of materials.    
   
   
       2 . The wheeled snowplow and sand or salt spreader in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said means for holding materials for spreading comprises a storage tank.  
   
   
       3 . The wheeled snowplow and sand or salt spreader in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said means for dispersing sand or salt comprises a funnel cone.  
   
   
       4 . The wheeled snowplow and sand or salt spreader in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said means for controlling the movement of snow on the left side comprises a left front blade.  
   
   
       5 . The wheeled snowplow and sand or salt spreader in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said means for controlling the movement of snow on the right side comprises a right front blade.  
   
   
       6 . The wheeled snowplow and sand or salt spreader in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said means for controlling the output flow of materials comprises a spreader control value.  
   
   
       7 . A wheeled snowplow and sand or salt spreader for clearing snow or other material of an intended path with a spreader to disperse sand or salt to melt the remaining ice or snow comprising: 
 a storage tank, for holding materials for spreading;    a funnel cone, for dispersing sand or salt, rigidly connected to said storage tank;    a left front blade, for controlling the movement of snow on the left side;    a right front blade, for controlling the movement of snow on the right side; and    a spreader control value, for controlling the output flow of materials.    
   
   
       8 . A wheeled snowplow and sand or salt spreader for clearing snow or other material of an intended path with a spreader to disperse sand or salt to melt the remaining ice or snow comprising: 
 a storage tank, for holding materials for spreading;    a funnel cone, for dispersing sand or salt, rigidly connected to said storage tank;    a left front blade, for controlling the movement of snow on the left side;    a right front blade, for controlling the movement of snow on the right side; and    a spreader control value, for controlling the output flow of materials.
