The flexible tiller has a center and two end sections, each including a cutter bar, frame, apron and grooming bar. The two tiller end sections are connected flexibly to the ends of the center section by frame to frame hinges and by cutter to cutter universal joints, so that the end sections can rotate freely about the hinges. The tiller center section is secured to the towing mechanism to oscillate about a central horizontal axis in the direction of travel. The oscillating center section and the two pivotally attached end sections cooperate to enable the tiller to closely conform to and thoroughly groom rolling snow paths without reducing them to flat ones. The rolling paths are enjoyable to ski, and are slower and safer. A controllable hydraulic ram is mounted to act across each hinge, so that the operator may select the degree of bending permitted at each hinge, and may hydraulically lock it into selected position, if desired.

A snowmaker mounting structure is described useful for attaching a snowmaking apparatus used at ski resort areas to a ski lift tower. The structure includes a generally horizontally extending boom having one end attached to an upper portion of the ski lift tower and an extending end having a snowmaker attached thereto. Control over the region of ski slopes being covered with artifically produced snow is provided by rotatably mounting the snowmaker to the end of the boom by employing a generally vertically oriented collar through which a central tubular post is inserted and rotatable therein. The water supply is conducted to one end of the post and a pair of turning cables are connected to the post which, through tension being applied to either one of the cables, causes the snowmaker to be rotated with the collar. This invention eliminates the necessity of providing a separate snowmaker mounting tower.

The present invention relates to a ski-track forming apparatus with a track-forming unit (1) having two parallel track-forming tools (2), extending in the track direction. In order to form a ski-track, when a ski course is formed, along the ideal line of the course in one operation, the track-forming unit (1) is fastened to the end of an arm (3) the other end of which is supported for horizontal and transverse movement relative to the track direction on a guide rod support means (4) which can be mounted on a vehicle (VD), which is preferably a track-laying levelling caterpillar vehicle.

A ground-working implement for rotary field tilling or ice or snow-tendingn ski slopes or the like which is drawn by a tractor or a tracked vehicle and which comprises a holder connected to the vehicle pendulously by a longitudinal beam which can be raised and lowered. The holder is connected to a rotary ground-loosening unit and a smoothing board by a four-point linkage whose cranks are dimensioned so that upon raising of the ground-loosening unit the orientation of the smoothing board remains largely unaltered thereby allowing the latter to be used for leveling the ground when the ground-loosening unit is in its raised or rest position.

The invention relates to a track maintenance vehicle having a levelling attachment secured to a transverse carrier member at its rear. The levelling attachment faces downwards and is at least partially flexible. For achieving satisfactory levelling of relatively loose snow as well as of encrusted or compacted snow, the levelling attachment comprises a leading portion of triangular cross-sectional shape secured to the transverse carrier member along a first triangle side. The second triangle side of this portion is formed as a rigid compaction surface extending downwards and rearwards from the transverse carrier member. Connected to a rear portion of the compaction surface is a plate-shaped flexible portion extending substantially parallel to the second triangle side in the relaxed state, and in a substantially horizontal direction when under load.

The present invention relates to a snow tiller for rearmounting on a track maintenance vehicle. The snow tiller comprises a transmission for driving at least one tiller shaft, a carrier frame for mounting the snow tiller on the track maintenance vehicle, and a baffle body of trapezoidal cross-section extending over the width of the snow tiller. A levelling attachment is secured to the underside of the baffle body facing the track surface.With a view to facilitating repair and maintenance operations and replacement of wear components, the baffle body is formed as a tubular profile member forming a central tiller frame. The transmission is mounted at the center of the tiller frame and drives to tiller shafts laterally connected to the transmission. The ends of the tiller shafts facing away from the transmission are mounted in outer bearings secured to the ends of the tiller frame.
摘要:
A ski run snow preparation apparatus having a snow-contacting blade which flexes laterally to provide an arcuate snow-contacting surface. The blade is pivotally mounted to a frame which is adapted to be secured upon the towing mechanism of a suitable tracked vehicle. Also mounted upon the frame is a remotely controllable mechanism, including a pair of hydraulic motors, to adjust the tilt of the snow-contacting blade in relation to the snow surface. The blade may operate under its own weight and that of the towing mechanism, or may be forceably pressed into the snow, as by vehicle mounted hydraulic motors provided to raise and lower the towing mechanism.

For use in detachably mounting an implement to a vehicle, the vehicle having associated therewith an adjustable take-up frame having at least one coupling element arranged to coact in engagement with a counter-coupling element on the implement, the improvement comprising: a mounting plate arranged on the implement in a substantially vertical plane extending transversely with respect to the working direction of the implement and the vehicle, the counter-coupling element being in the form of an open hook secured to and protruding rearwardly from the upper portion of said mounting plate, and the coupling element being in the form of a horizontal pin extending between two laterally spaced cheek plates, the said cheek plates forming part of the take-up frame, with said horizontal pin being arranged for engagement beneath said hook as the latter is received between said cheek plates.
摘要:
An apparatus for producing ski tracks for a ski trail, comprising a sliding/planing body with a flat sliding surface which curves upwardly at the forward section of said body, and spaced-apart track-forming members depending downwardly from said sliding surface. The track-forming members each comprising a bottom surface and two parallel side surfaces whose forward portions converge to form a plow portion while the bottom surface extends forward in full width beneath said plow portion and at least to the tip of it. A drag frame pivotally attached to the surface of the sliding/planing body rearward of its forward section. The axis of pivot for the frame running transversely of the direction of advancement for the sliding/planing body. The trackforming members producing a track with strong, compacted walls, without weighing down the apparatus.
