Snow leveler

Claim 1

A snow leveler for packed snowmobile trails and the like, said leveler comprising a frame, skid means supporting said frame for travel over the surface of snow, a series of snow pulverizing discs rotatably mounted transversely across the forward portion of said frame for initial pulverizing engagement with the snow, said discs being generally vertically orientated in a front-torear direction, and three pairs of snow-turning blades mounted rearward of said discs for sequential engagement with the disc pulverized snow, the first pair of blades, immediately behind the discs, converging rearwardly from forward ends located adjacent the sides of the frame to rear inwardly converged ends, the second pair of blades commencing at converged forward ends immediately rearward of the converged rear ends of the first pair of blades and diverging rearwardly to terminate in rear laterally spaced ends, the third pair of blades converging rearwardly from forward ends positioned immediately outward of the diverged rear ends of the second pair of blades, said third pair of blades terminating in laterally spaced rear ends converged inwardly relative to the forward ends thereof, each blade including a substantially horizontal lower edge having a laterally turned or directed flange thereon for engagement beneath the disc pulverized snow, each blade, along the height tHereof from the lower edge, curving slightly laterally to provide a turn-ing effect to the snow engaged thereby, and each blade, along the length thereof, being of a progressively greater height from the forward end to the rear end.
