Abstract
A compact, lightweight snow thrower having a power driven impeller rotating about a horizontal, transverse axis to throw snow upwardly and forwardly through a chute which is substantially coextensive in width with the axial length of the impeller. A plurality of laterally spaced upright vanes are disposed in and pivotally connected to the upper end of the chute for the purpose of directing the discharge of snow. The chute includes a front wall portion which serves as a support for the discharge directing vanes and as a strike-off wall preventing jamming of the discharge chute when the snow thrower encounters deep snow. Snow thrown by the impeller against the front wall portion tends to fall down because of its vertical disposition.
