Abstract
A snow plow blade with integrated multiple horizontal slats in lieu of one solid curved blade comprises a plurality of thin blades stacked upon one another in a staggered retreating arrangement from the bottom up. Should any blade damage occur, just the section damaged can be replaced by simply unbolting it and bolting on a new one. The slat structure allows air to flow through the blade while moving down the road and not plowing snow, enabling air to enter the radiator section of the vehicle to cool the radiator more efficiently. Finally, the slat structure is envisioned to create lift, in much the same manner as an airplane wing, thus making the blade appear lighter than its actual static weight when moving down the road and not plowing snow. This feature is envisioned to reduce wear and tear on suspension components, steering components, tires, and other similar items.
