Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0115563A2] 1. A snowplow with a plowblade (1) to which several spring flaps (2) are linked at the bottom of the blade by hinges, with each spring flap having a wearbar (13) and being retained in its working position by a pre-tensioned reset spring, characterized in that the reset spring is supported to be movable in the same sense as the pivoting direction of the spring flap (2), so that the increase in spring force while the spring flap (2) is being deflected is at least partially counteracted.
