A snow vehicle is disclosed incorporating apparatus permitting conversion from street use to snow use. The conversion apparatus includes a pair of ski assemblies attachable to the conventional, pre-existing steering system of the vehicle. A pair of endless track assemblies each including an endless flexible track, a forward drive shaft and a plurality of bogie wheels mounted in a tunnel, are positioned at the rear of the vehicle. Each endless track assembly includes mounting plates for adjustabl...

A new snow stop includes a base, a support projecting from the base, and a restraining member attached to or made integral with and part of the support, wherein the base has a support opening therein, and the support is formed from a suitable foldable stock and is attached to the base, the support having a leg which projects upwardly from the base and which thrusts through the support opening of the base, and the support having a foot which lies underneath the base and which extends outwardly of...

A luge (10) for tobogganing on snow comprises an integrally moulded body member (12) having a front end and a rear end. The body member (12) comprises a pair of spaced runners (14) extending from the front to the rear ends thereof. A single bridge portion (16) extends between the runners (14) and is moulded integrally with the runners (14). A projection (26) extends rearwardly of the bridge portion (16) and is moulded integrally with the body member (12). The projection (26) is provided with a f...

A snow removing device has a scoop or shovel pivotably mounted at one end of a lever arm whose other end has a handle. The lever arm is mounted on a pedestal in such a manner that it can be pivoted in a horizontal plane to raise and lower the scoop by means of the handle, and pivoted in a vertical plane to move the scoop to one side or the other. The pedestal is mounted on a sled, with optional wheels, so that, with the scoop positioned in front of the sled, the device can be pushed forward unti...

In a ride-on snow sled of the steerable type, a pair of support side runners are fixedly attached to fore and aft vertically oriented legs. The legs are adapted to slide up and down within hollow tubular frame members. The upper ends of the front legs of each runner are attached to one another by a non-compressible and non-extendible cable member. Similarly, the rear pair of legs are connected through a rear tubular frame. Thus, a shift of weight causing the right ski to extend downwardly from t...

A snow shovel having a plate-shaped scoop, a main handle and an adjustable auxiliary handle, arranged so as to enable snow to be shoveled without the user having to bend over, is disclosed. The main handle is a rod rigidly affixed to one end to the scoop and having a first hand grip at th other end. The auxiliary handle includes a pair of rods which diverge from one another in the direction from closely juxtaposed first ends to widely spaced second ends. A second hand grip is secured to the auxi...

A snow guard has a two piece base with a top portion adapted to hook over a shingle and a bottom portion with an upstanding flange defined by lower portions of each piece of the base. A figurine cast in the shape of an eagle has a stem portion riveted to this flange so that the eagle's wings define a show shelf.

An alarm clock has associated with it an alarm and a snow-sensing means for detecting an accumulation of snow. The clock is provided with means for setting an alarm at two individually presettable times, one of which is set for normal waking and the other set in advance of the first to alert the sleeping user at a time earlier than the preset normal wakeup time when there has been an accumulation of snow while he slept.

The present invention utilizes a single temperature sensor and heating element in thermal contact with the sensing surface. The signal from the temperature sensor and the signal from the heating element are input to a standard microprocessor integrated circuit. The microprocessor continuously compares the two signals to accurately assess whether snow is present on the sensing surface. The present invention eliminates the requirement for a moving airmass to accurately assess the presence of snow ...

A snow sled comprising a first substantially U-shaped frame having a cross brace that interconnects the first and second side. A second substantially U-shaped frame pivotally connected to the front end of the first frame. A first handle assembly is positioned upon the first frame. A second handle assembly is positioned upon the second frame. A seat assembly is positioned perpendicular to the cross brace. Two forward skis and two rearward skis are secured to the respective second frame and first ...
