Snow blower

Abstract

The present invention generally relates to a snow blower that removes snow from an area by blowing the snow away. More particularly, the present invention relates to a snow blower configured in such a manner that snow is introduced into a blade via transmission by an augur, and is then discharged through a discharge chute by the operation of an impeller. The snow blower including: a blower body including a blade, an augur, and an impeller; and a coupler including a mount and multiple links, wherein the blower body includes vertical mount panels, the mount panels provided at a rear end of the blower body and spaced apart from each other in parallel, and the mount of the coupler includes dual plates provided at the front end parts of the links such that each of the mount panels is fitted between and mounted to the dual plates of the coupler.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A snow blower comprising:
 a blower body including a blade, an augur, and an impeller; and   a coupler including a mount and multiple links, the links provided at each side of a front end part of a connector arm, and the mount provided at front end parts of the links such that the blower body is mounted to the coupler,   wherein the blower body includes vertical mount panels, the mount panels provided at a rear end of the blower body and spaced apart from each other in parallel, and the mount of the coupler includes dual plates provided at the front end parts of the links such that each of the mount panels is fitted between and mounted to the dual plates of the coupler.   
     
     
         2 . The snow blower of  claim 1 , wherein each of the mount panels of the blower body includes: a groove provided in an upper part of the mount panel by being indented upwardly so that a first support pin of the mount is inserted into the groove; a protruding part formed by protruding from a vertical end surface of the mount panel to a predetermined length such that the first support pin and a second support pin of the mount are supported by the groove and the vertical end surface at a location under the protruding part of the mount panel, respectively, while contacting with the groove and the vertical end surface; and a locking hole formed in an inner portion of the mount panel at a location spaced apart from the vertical end surface under the protruding part. 
     
     
         3 . The snow blower of  claim 2 , wherein each of the vertical mount panels is multiple vertical mount panels spaced apart from each other in parallel. 
     
     
         4 . The snow blower of claim.  1 , wherein the mount of the coupler includes the dual plates the dual plates being provided at opposite sides of the links and having a space defined between the dual plates such that the front end parts of the links are fitted into the space and are hinged to the dual plates. 
     
     
         5 . The snow blower of  claim 4 , wherein the dual plates further include guides that are provided at front ends of the dual plates such that the guides extend outward from the front, ends of the dual plates in diagonally opposite directions. 
     
     
         6 . The snow blower of  claim 4 , wherein the dual plates are combined with an associated mount panel by first and second support pins and by a fixing pin, wherein the first and second support pins pass through the dual plates at respective locations offset from each other at a predetermined interval so that the dual plates are pin-coupled to a groove and a vertical end surface of the mount panel by the first and second support pins, and the fixing pin passes through pin holes that are formed in the dual plates at locations corresponding to a locking hole of the mount panel. 
     
     
         7 . The snow blower of  claim 4 , wherein the mount including the dual plates comprises multiple vertical mounts that are spaced apart from each other in parallel and are combined with the mount panels.
