Abstract:
1. A combination plow and claw assembly for plowing a surface and clawing a surface wherein the function of the assembly can be easily changed by the operator of a vehicle during use of the assembly comprising: opposed fixed support plates connected by an elongated cross member forming a support structure; an elongated rotating member rotatably mounted in openings in the support plates; means to rotate the rotating member; an elongated rotating plate fixedly connected to the rotating member and having a lower end and an upper end; an elongated stationary plate fixedly connected to the support plates and having an upper end and a lower end; and support means for attachment of the structure to vehicle moving means; wherein, when the plow and claw assembly is used as a plow with the vehicle moving means moving forward, the elongated rotating plate is rotated to an upward position so that the lower end of the rotating plate and upper end of the stationary plate are proximate and, when the plow and claw assembly is used as a claw with the vehicle moving means moving backwards, the elongated rotating plate is moved to a downward position so that the upper end of the rotating plate is below the lower end of the stationary plate and proximate the surface to be clawed.
