Auto Wheel Snow Scraper
Here's a new idea that's patented but isn't on the market yet. It's similar to a "snow deflector" system for pickups we featured a year ago (Vol. 21, No.1).
The Auto Wheel Snow Scraper is a hydraulically activated "shovel" system de-signed to scrape snow out of the way of a vehicle's drive tires. It consists of a pair of small plow-type snow blades operated by 5-in. hydraulic cylinders with 4-in. stroke. Connected by a 12-ft. hydraulic line, the cylinders operate off a 12-volt pump. The system mounts on the fame rails of the vehicle. At the end of winter, you simply unbolt the shovels from the cylinder pistons and store them until next season.
Suitable for both large and small cars, trucks, buses and airplanes, according to inventor John Borras who's looking for an investor or manufacturer.
