Abstract
A vehicle mounted articulating snow plow apparatus is provided for clearing snow from roads and driveways. The snow plow includes a blade assembly having a center blade and an extendable wing blade coupled to each end of the center blade. The blade assembly can be raised and lowered relative to the vehicle and ground surface and can be rotated about a vertical axis. Each extendable blade is independently pivotable relative to the center blade through an arc of greater than one-hundred eighty degrees (180°) about a vertical axis. The blade assembly is extendable and retractable between at least a stowed configuration, wherein the extendable blades extend laterally inboard alongside the center blade, and a linearly extended configuration, wherein the extendable blades are outboard of the center blade. The blade assembly includes an actuation mechanism to pivot the extendable blade relative to the center blade.
