Abstract:
A plow blade wear member having a slower wear rate than known blade wear members, and having a reduced tendency to partially break off, fracture, chip, or become otherwise damaged when the blade wear member engages a discontinuity in a travel surface. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the blade wear member is formed or cut from a used airplane tire. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the blade wear member is formed or cut from a used fiber reinforced airplane tire having a relatively large outer circumference to provide the desired radius of curvature, the desired thickness, and the desired strength for the blade wear member.

Claim (Index 6):
A plow blade assembly attachable to a vehicle, said plow blade assembly comprising:\n a plow blade attachable to the vehicle; a rear attachment plate attachable to the plow blade; and a plow blade wear member attachable to the rear attachment plate, said plow blade wear member comprising:\n an elongated curved body formed from a tire and having:\n a top edge, \n a bottom edge, \n a right side edge, \n a left side edge, \n a front concave surface, and \n a rear convex surface, and \n being flexible enough to bend backward against its natural curvature a distance toward the rear attachment plate when the elongated curved body is attached to the rear attachment plate such that when the elongated curved body engages a first discontinuity protruding from a travel surface at a force level above a designated force level, the backward bending of the elongated curved body said distance toward the rear attachment plate reduces a gap between the elongated curved body and the rear attachment plate, \n said elongated curved body defining a series of attachment openings that enable the elongated curved body to be removably attached to the rear attachment plate.
