Abstract:
A roadway clearing device includes a plurality of rotatable members for dislodging material (snow or ice) from a roadway and a conveyer disposed rearward of the rotatable members to collect and laterally discharge material from the roadway. The device may include a plurality of shovel members disposed rearward of the conveyor to divert material from the roadway to the conveyor for lateral discharge. The rotatable members and/or shovel members may be disposed for separate movement from corresponding downward positions to upward positions relative to an interconnected support frame. Spring-loaded, extensible members may be provided to bias the rotatable members and/or shovel members to their corresponding downward positions. The rotatable members and/or shovel members are supportably and pivotably interconnected to a common support frame so as to separately pivot upward relative to the support frame from their respective downward positions, facilitating dislodgement, diversion, collection and discharge of material from a roadway.

Claim (Index 19):
A device as recited in  claim 18 , wherein upon said movement in the forward direction, each rotatable member of the plurality of rotatable members is separately, automatically positionable relative to the roadway in response to engagement with material on a roadway in the path of the rotatable member, and each shovel member of the plurality of shovel members is separately, automatically positionable relative to the roadway in response to engagement with material on a roadway in the path of the shovel member.
