31 year old woman | Chicago, IL, USA | Seeking men 27-35 within 5 miles
Dumb and Dumber is my favorite movie.
I am a southern girl at heart, moved to the Midwest when I was 10 and have loved it ever since. I'm currently living in Chicago and work in advertising. However, I work with mostly women so I figured I'd try this out. I'm looking to find someone that loves to laugh because I'm a big goofball and must enjoy being outdoors. I hate to say too much because I think it's important to share details in person, but I will say that family and friends are most important to me as well as being a positive and kind person. If someone were to describe me in three words, they would probably describe me as dependable, creative and passionate. If you want to know more, just ask.

Himalayan Honey Green
Starting at: $6.00
The tea comes from gardens situated at an elevation of about 6,000 feet in the Dhankuta district of eastern Nepal, from which the major peaks of the eastern Himalayas, including Mt. Everest, may be viewed. Withering on bamboo mats is followed by hand-rolling. The leaves are machine dried but are otherwise hand processed and slightly oxidized (about 20%), which seems to bring out a welcome sweetness. The best of China's Greens have a floral or vegetal note, or a fresh, clean taste, or a chestnut-y finish, but that layer of sweetness is not often found. This "Green" from Nepal shines with that extra bit of intensity on the palate and in the finish. Given the location, there is a nice bonus of muscatel in the aroma. If you let the tea cool to room temperature, you'll find it tasty as a "cold" tea too. Use 3g of dry leaves (a generous rounded teaspoon) of dry leaf to for each 6-ounce cup, steeping for 3-4 minutes in water heated to 175-185°F.

Below is a list of just some of the hormones that affect body fat regulation and metabolism. I hope this gives you a clearer idea of the wonderful complexity of our human system without making you feel overwhelmed. Remember, even though understanding the role of hormones is important, it all comes back to actionable steps – like the ones I have listed out on the EAT page.
Insulin: ("the bank teller") – Think of insulin like a bank teller that only accepts it puts money in the bank (i.e. energy into the cells), but doesn't release any back into circulation. When insulin is high, it's partner hormone glucagon is unable to release energy from the cells into the bloodstream.
Leptin: ("the weather reporter") – Leptin is a hormone produced by fat cells in the body. It acts on receptors in the hypothalamus of the brain, where it inhibits appetite. In essence, it tells the brain how much fat the body is storing for energy. However, through a condition called leptin resistance, it's possible that this forecast is inaccurate and that the body will continue to store body fat well beyond what is necessary. Think of if a weather reporter told you it was freezing outside – you'd bundle up! But when you stepped outside, you realized it was 60 degrees and sunny, but it's too late to turn back to change clothes. Your body can work in the same way if it thinks we are low on essential body fat!
Cortisol: ("the emergency responder") – Also known as the "stress hormone", cortisol is secreted by the adrenal glands to help the body recover from a fight or flight stress response. When you get stressed out, cortisol is there to help. However, chronically elevated levels of cortisol promotes insulin resistance and elevates leptin levels. This has led to cortisol getting a bad rap, when in actuality it is an essential hormone to our survival – we just want to make sure it's not overworking itself.
Glucagon: ("the ATM") – Glucagon is a hormone secreted from the alpha cells of the pancreas in response to the demand for energy. It lets the energy out of cells that insulin has stored. When your body gets low on energy (or cash in this example), you can go to the ATM and withdraw more. This keeps your blood sugar levels steady throughout the day.

I can only assume that whoever owned the Ferrari and let him drive it has enough money (or enough insurance) so that the loss isn't that big a deal. However, it's still a shame to see something like that happen to such a nice car.
On a side note, one of the other videos on that site is a story about USC concerned about peeping toms in a parking deck. What a ridiculous story! First, by building a parking deck next to a women's dorm, they should expect something like this. Second, is it really peeping if guys on a parking deck are watching girls who are changing in their rooms with the curtains open and the lights on? It doesn't sound like the girls are exhibiting much of an expectation of privacy. On the contrary I'd consider it plain view. If you want privacy, you have to take measures to protect it.
The parking structure at Case is set-up just like that... damn prudes with their shades drawn!! :laugh:
I think your analysis is spot-on, Yacht.
I wonder what the photographer was thinking when he saw the car heading right at him?

– In a contentious battle that only stands to get nastier, the Los
Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a voter district map Tuesday sans a second Latino voting district.
Ridley-Thomas, Second District County Supervisor, cast the fourth and deciding vote (such measures must pass
with a super majority) in support of the map without an additional county supervisor district for Latinos. First District County Supervisor Gloria Molina was the lone opposing vote.

lawsuit, with Latino advocacy groups waiting in the wings to sue the county over the maps, and told the press he would prefer to "hasten" the
Ridley-Thomas is inviting a lawsuit; without a supermajority on the Board of Supervisors it's the only way he and Molina get a second Latino voter district.
does all the hubbub at the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration mean
for Pasadena?
Despite minimal growth in the Latino population in Pasadena, (up a mere 3.2
percent since 2000) the group still accounts for more than one-third
of the city's population, which is enough to represent a plurality in
more than one of Pasadena's seven City Council districts.
close to drawing voter lines for both the City Council and the
Pasadena Unified School District have consistently said that the
"communities of interest" described in federal and state voting
rights provisions must take in account more than just race when penciling the voter boundaries.
several occasions, political leaders have made the post racial
argument that social rank and economic status divides Pasadena and
the country more than race.
lines to create a plurality of impoverished and working people would
go further to empowering those classes of folks than gerrymandering based on race.
if the county serves as the example for organizations determined to seize more electoral power for Latinos, the lawyers for groups such as
MALDEF and LULAC will only have five words to say to Pasadena's
political establishment: tell it to the judge.

Gold's GymRead MoreSince Joe Gold opened his first fitness center more than 45 years ago, his namesake gym franchise has grown to more than 600 locations worldwide. The four locations near Ogden house workout floors furnished with loads of exercise equipment as well as studios for group classes such as cycling, yoga, and TRX training. Most Gold's locations also feature Les Mills fitness classes such as Body Pump, Body Combat, and Body Attack, which keep things fresh by switching up their choreography and music every three months.1935 W 5700 SRoy, UT US
Propulsion PilatesRead MorePropulsion Pilates' instructors rely on the familiar Pilates contraptions that fill most studios, but they alter the time-tested workout regimen by incorporating it into a more modern style of circuit training. They combine sequences on the Reformer, Tower, and Wunda Chair with occasional cardio exercises and kettlebell work, creating challenging sessions that manage to refine technique while bolstering strength and flexibility. To keep classes teetering on the cuttingest of edges, the instructors attend at least two Pilates workshops every year to update their mental cache of fitness tricks, but they always leave a little disappointed that a flying Reformer machine appears to be at least another six months off.5592 S 1750 ESouth Ogden, UT US
Crossroads FitnessRead MoreAt each of Crossroads Fitness' four locations throughout the Wastach Front, members of all ages build strong, healthy bodies through a regimen of group classes, personal training, and extensive wellness evaluations and health assessments. Registered dietitians and fitness experts help clients manage their fitness goals, while a schedule of BodyPump, Zumba, yoga, and resistance training burn away unwanted fat while building lean muscle. After leveling up their endurance and speed with sports-performance training or flexing their legs in a cycling class, members relax and rehabilitate muscles with on-site massage therapy.1394 East 6000 SouthOgden, UT US
Bikram Yoga OgdenRead MoreThe instructors at Higher Ground Hot Yoga help students achieve a soothing state of calmness through heated yoga sessions. They guide guests through 26 poses in a studio heated to improve muscle elasticity, which reduces the threat of injury. The heat also encourages detoxification and elevates heart rates. Instructors stay positive and supportive throughout their classes, which help build strength and flexibility and elongate ligaments, joints, and facial hair. The staff also uses these poses to teach students the valuable skill of controlling their breath.111 Historical 25th St. BOgden, UT US
Dark Sun StudiosRead MoreDark Sun Studios' team of audio, lighting, and film experts draws on decades of production experience to create music videos, films, commercials, and other media. The hands-on class begins with a lesson in the fundamental physics of lighting and quantum equations to determine how many gaffers it takes to screw in a light bulb. Then multimedia professionals illuminate the basics of shot composition and lighting setup, first with Dark Sun's studio-grade Cine-Lux lighting and then with simple and inexpensive hardware store materials. Students utilize the 2,500-square-foot studio's various backdrops, lighting fixtures, and high ceilings as they experiment with light, shadow, and contrast. The class then brings the limelight to the outdoors, where they learn how to mimic moonlight, do battle with dusk, and simulate black holes using only an arc lamp and a roll of duct tape. After a discussion on at-home lighting equipment, everyone leaves with a complimentary handbook.2675 Industrial DriveOgden, UT US

Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes.
Read this now and think about it later...lol. You and I would explore historical places and absorb all the nostalgia that adventure has to offer. We would sit by a fire, perhaps at home or on the beach, gazing at the stars and conversing about the wonders of life and the Universe. A quiet night walk on the beach, a delicious dinner followed by what ever the spur of the moment brings. A place like Saint Augustine is great for these kind of things. What do you like to do for fun? What gets your adrenaline going? Ride the biggest, fastest roller coaster with me, repeatedly? I dare you. ;-) Go on a Safari? Photo Safari? I'm ready when you are.

I'm pretty sure I can get you to laugh (or smile)
Not sure if i'm asking for much but here goes. Looking to meet someone to spend time with and get to know better. I'm up for anything as from a nice dinner at home or a weekend somewhere fun, as long as we click then I'm set. Someone who can understand my sarcasm and occasional randomness is key for me. Intelligence, ambition, a great sense of humor and willingness to try new things are a must. Also, dog lovers, movie fans, Laker/Dodger fans and anyone that enjoys spicy food won't be turned away. Work keeps me pretty busy, but I will gladly leave the office for the right person. I'd love to meet someone who feels at ease with anything from a night out on the town or just talking over coffee. Well, thats about it, I'll save the rest for later.

This application is a Continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 09/507,291 filed on Feb. 18, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,363,629.
Conventional snow blade mounts for four wheel drive vehicles such as pick-up trucks can weigh several hundred pounds, and generally include a chassis frame that can be permanently fixed to the vehicle chassis, usually behind the vehicle front bumper. A lift frame is then removably coupled to the chassis frame, and the snow blade is then coupled to the front end of the assembly via an A-frame and trip frame assembly. The A-frame with the snow blade attached is typically removable from the vehicle. Conventionally, the lift frame has been permanently mounted to the chassis frame (and therefore not readily removable from the vehicle), and the hydraulic pump used to operate the snow blade was located under the vehicle hood, and were driven using a belt drive driven by the vehicle engine. However, safety considerations now often dictate that the lift frame be removed when the plow is not in use. In addition, crash zones and barrier testing are altered by locating the electric/hydraulic pump under the vehicle hood in juxtaposition with the vehicle engine. Moreover, such a location is also no longer feasible since there is little room there to accommodate the pump, and since most vehicles today use a single serpentine belt, again eliminating the feasibility of driving the hydraulics with a belt driven by the vehicle engine. Accordingly, most snow blade mounts today locate the blade actuator drive assembly in front of the vehicle grill, slightly higher than the vehicle front bumper. This arrangement hinders air flow to the vehicle engine, often resulting in engine overheats.
One drawback of conventional snow blade mounts is the difficulty in readily removing the lift frame assemblies from the vehicle chassis, especially in view of their weight. To that end, U.S. Pat. No. 5,125,174 discloses a removable snowplow including a removable lift frame and A-frame combination. However, the lift frame assembly is permanently mounted to the A-frame, thus requiring removal of both simultaneously, as a unit. U.S. Pat. No. 5,353,530 is of a similar vein.
Conventional mounting systems utilize a pin arrangement, whereby the vehicle and mount assembly must be properly aligned prior to coupling the mount to the chassis with a pair of pins. This mounting and dismounting is difficult and tedious.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a snow blade mount and lift assembly for a vehicle that is easily attachable and removable from the vehicle.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a hydraulically operated snow blade and lift assembly for a vehicle that is attached and removed from the vehicle using a self-aligning hitch mount devoid of conventional mounting pins.
It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a snow blade hitch mount that includes a jack for lifting the assembly for proper vertical alignment with the vehicle chassis mount receiving plate.
The problems of the prior art have been overcome by the present invention, which provides a mount and lift assembly for hydraulically driven snow blades or other utilitarian accessories that includes a mount frame for mounting to the vehicle chassis and a one piece accessory assembly and lift frame readily removably coupled to the mount frame, the assembly in the case of a snow plow preferably including a blade trip frame and a snow blade removably coupled to the trip frame.

FIG. 1B is an enlarged view of one embodiment of a mounting frame in accordance with the present invention;

FIG. 6C is an enlarged view of a mounting frame in accordance with an alternative embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 7A is a side view of the snow blade mounting system of FIG. 6A shown in the latched position; and
FIG. 7B is an enlarged view of the latch of FIG. 6B shown in the latched position.
Turning first to FIG. 1, there is shown generally at 10 the snow blade lift and hitch assembly in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Vehicle mounting frame 11 attaches to the vehicle chassis frame behind the front bumper by suitable means such as pins or bolts (not shown). The actual design of the mounting frame 11 interface for attachment to the chassis will depend upon the identity (and thus design) of the particular chassis, and is well within the skill in the art.
The mounting frame 11 preferably remains permanently mounted to the vehicle chassis, regardless of whether the snow blade or other accessories are in use. It is fixed and has no moving parts; its main purpose being to provide a means of attachment of the follow-on components, such as those that provide the lift and angle of the snow blade where the follow-on component is a snow blade, and to absorb and transfer any shock loads imposed on the snow blade (or other accessory) into the vehicle chassis.
With particular reference to FIGS. 1, 3A and 3B, a receiver arrangement is created for the removable lift frame 20 and A-frame 30 integral therewith, or for any other accessory to be attached to the vehicle via the mounting frame 11. A pair of spaced side guides 40, 41 extend rearwardly in the direction towards the rear of the vehicle, and then inwardly toward each other as shown. The guides are preferably in a tapered profile such that the distance between them decreases in the direction towards the vehicle rear. The height of each side guide 40, 41 is also tapered such that it is progressively lower in the direction towards the vehicle rear. These angled side guides thus angle in and up, creating a trapezoidal wedge in both planes to provide a positive grip to the matching mounted hitch.
Tubular lift frame 20 and A-frame 30 assembly is adapted to be releasably coupled to the mounting frame 11. The following description of the lift frame 20 and A-frame 30 is similar to that disclosed in co-pending U.S. Ser. No. 08/640,145, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, although those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is not limited to that particular lift frame and A-frame design. The lift frame 20 as shown has a generally rectangular shape, although the present invention is not to be so limited. A transverse vertical actuator support tube is coupled to the frame 20 between opposite side gusset plates 54, 55 (only one shown), and includes a central bracket 51 for attachment of one end of a vertical lifting means 52 such as a hydraulically driven actuator or cylinder. The opposite end of the vertical lifting means 52 is coupled to pivot hood 53, which in turn is pivotally mounted to the underside of top cross bar 45 of the frame 20 as shown. The pivot hood 53 has means to which one operative end of a linking means such as a chain 110 or the like can be mounted. The other operative end of the linking means is mounted by any suitable means to an angle iron coupled to the snow plow blade, so that actuation of the vertical lifting means 52 causes a corresponding vertical lift of the hood 53, which thereby lifts the snow plow blade.
Side gussets 54, 55 are shown coupled to vertical legs 46, 46′ (only one shown) of the lift frame 20, such as by welding, and will be discussed in greater detail below. Triangular light mounts 56, 57 are provided on the frame 20 to support additional lighting or the like. Fixed to inside edges of the legs 46, 46′ of the lift frame 20 are opposite right angle A-frame limit stops positioned to prevent the A-frame 30 from lifting too high.
A compartment in the A-frame 30 is defined by a top plate and an opposite, substantially co-extensive and spaced parallel bottom plate. A ring block 36 comprising a tubular base section and a top plate and is mounted on the top surface of the A-frame and mates to a stabilizer � ring 77 attached to the trip frame 70. The block 36 contains and stabilizes the � ring 77, thus stabilizing the trip frame to which the � ring 77 is attached. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the ring block 36 can be designed having shapes other shapes than that shown, as long as the ring properly stabilizes the trip frame assembly 70.
Located in the body of the A-frame substantially between the top and bottom surfaces is an actuator drive cavity. Locating the actuator drive means (preferably an electric/hydraulic pump assembly) substantially within the body of the A-frame 30 lightens the lift frame 20 (where the pump was conventionally located) for easy removal. Instead, the dead weight of the actuator drive means is advantageously added to the blade, assisting in creating a cleaner snowplow pass. Importantly, the actuator drive means in this location in no way obstructs the radiator of the vehicle, thereby allowing proper air flow to cool the vehicle engine and help prevent overheating. In addition, the actuator drive means is well sheltered, minimizing potential damage as the vehicle approaches the blade assembly for mounting. It also allows for shorter hydraulic lines to the angle pistons, and allows for more clearance in the basic geometry, thereby allowing higher blade motion for stacking snow. Preferably, the bulk of the actuator drive means is located substantially in the horizontal plane of the A-frame defined by the top and bottom surfaces. Most preferably, a lower recess/skid plate coupled to the underside of the A-frame bottom plate supports the pump assembly slightly below the plane of the bottom plate of the A-frame 30, thereby maximizing the lift height of the A-frame 30. A removable top cover optionally having a hydraulic fluid reservoir fill cap provides further protection for the pump assembly.
Trip frame assembly 70 is the preferred means for attaching the snow blade to the A-frame 30. The trip frame 70 allows the blade to pivot forward, which allows it to trip over obstacles and absorb shock that would otherwise be transferred into the plow frame assembly and vehicle, which in extreme cases would cause substantial damage. The front of the trip frame 70 is defined by a trip frame angle pivot, which comprises a top horizontal plate and a spaced, parallel, co-extensive bottom horizontal plate. Angled plates receive the apex of the A-frame and provide a stop. The A-frame is pivotally mounted through an axially aligned hole in the horizontal plates. The trip frame angle pivot includes four horizontal axially aligned pivot bushings each mounted on a rib intersecting the horizontal top and bottom plates. The pivot bushings each mate to a recess formed in the back of the plow blade. Welded at extreme opposite ends of trip frame 70 are right angle blade trip stops. These provide an angled stop against the vertical blade rib of blade. Were the blade allowed to trip forward all the way to the ground, it could become lodged or could spring board up very abruptly, causing damage. In addition, the lower stop keeps the spring extension within its designed operating range which prevents the springs from stretching (overstretching of the springs permanently damages the springs, making them unable to return the blade to its full upright position).
Those skilled in the art will recognize that the foregoing trip frame assembly is not required; the snow blade can articulate directly from the A-frame and by directly coupled thereto via pistons and pivots. Other trip frame designs could also be used.
Welded on the top cross bar of the trip frame 70 is the � ring 77 mentioned above, which stabilizes the trip assembly and pivot. A right angle cross bar is positioned within the � ring 77, and supports a plurality of trip return springs means (not shown). The opposite ends of the return springs means are coupled to the snow blade through an upper spring mount on the rear of the blade.
A pair of spaced horizontal actuators such as cylinders are each mounted at one end between the top and bottom horizontal plates of the trip frame. The opposite ends of each horizontal actuator are pivotally coupled to the A-frame. These horizontal actuators are operatively connected to the actuator drive assembly (not shown) housed in the A-frame 30 cavity by suitable hosing.
The snow blade can be conventional in design. The preferred blade is a sheet of steel bumped or rolled to a semi-round shape and then braced on the backside with a plurality of vertical ribs and horizontal members comprised of formed stiffeners and a frog angle at the very base to absorb shock. C-shaped shoe mounts coupled to the back of the plow blade provide a surface for the blade to ride on.
The controls for operating the assembly are housed inside the cab of the vehicle for easy access to the operator. Typically, there are two separate momentary contact switches in any position but the down position, where it is not momentary. A plurality of solenoids are used to control the mechanism, such as a solenoid to control the power that runs the motor for the pump. This circuit is energized off of any of the control positions except the down position, thereby actuating the pump to raise and/or angle the blade. Gravity allows the blade to return to ground. Three hydraulic solenoids are mounted to the output manifold of the pump. One is the unit that opens the path to lift the blade, another is the unit that opens the path to lower the blade assembly. In the up position, the first solenoid opens the valve and the pump is energized, which raises the blade. In the down position, the other solenoid opens its respective valve, but the pump is not energized, which allows the blade to lower.
There is a three-position hydraulic spool valve for the angling of the blade. As the switch is pushed to one side, it opens the corresponding valve and energizes the pump, which then pumps fluid into the corresponding piston which causes the piston to extend and to thereby angle the blade. At the same time, it allows the non-pressurized piston to collapse and fluid to return to the tank (the force of the extending piston collapses the opposite piston). When the switch is engaged in the other direction, the reverse occurs. When the switch is returned to the neutral position, so does the valve. The foregoing is illustrative of the control mechanism, but those skilled in the art will appreciate that other methods of controlling accessory actuation can be used without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further details will now be provided regarding the hitch mount of the present invention. As discussed above, mounting frame 11, preferably made of ⅜″ mild steel, is coupled to the vehicle chassis by suitable means. The front plow engaging end of the mounting frame 11 includes a one or more vertical studs 100 having a free end that is preferably chamfered. In the preferred embodiment, there are two such studs 100 spaced apart an optimal distance for supporting the accessory to be attached. Also in the preferred embodiment shown, the free ends of the studs 100 are spherical, and the head of each stud 100 terminates in a flattened portion 101.
The studs 100 can be fixed to the mounting frame 11 by any suitable means, such as welding or bolting. Preferably the cross-section of the stud(s) 100 is large enough to support the entire weight of the implement being attached when it is lifted off the ground, and is large enough to resist the directional forces applied to the stud(s) 100 when the implement is being worked. The chamfer on the free end of the stud(s) 100 should extend approximately one-half of the diameter of the stud from the free end in order to facilitate engagement with the accessory being attached. The top portion 101 of the free end of the stud(s) 100 is preferably flat (FIG. 1B).
Mounting frame 11 includes generally longitudinally extending (in the direction from the vehicle front to the vehicle rear) guide members 40, 41 as discussed above, which help ensure proper alignment of the lift assembly 20 or other accessory being attached. The spacing or volume between these guide members and the top of mounting frame 11 (FIG. 3B) is configured to accommodate the male ends 215 of the hitch assembly coupled to the lift frame 20 via the side gussets 54, 55 (FIG. 3A). Thus the male ends 215 are preferably fork-like, with rounded corners to facilitate hitch engagement. The male ends 215 preferably taper towards each other toward their free ends as shown in FIG. 3A. A corresponding taper is present in the mounting frame 11 in the space between guides 40, 41 (best shown in FIG. 3C); guide members 40, 41 are configured and placed such that the receiver volume is tapered, with its end farthest from the vehicle front being shorter than the end closest the studs 100. The guide members 40, 41 thus act as a track for receiving and aligning male ends 215. Each guide member 40, 41 is preferably tilted downward (in the direction towards the longitudinal centerline of the frame 11) as shown in FIG. 3C.
Pivotally coupled to each side gusset 54, 55 via pivot shaft 219 are respective latches 220. Preferably the latches 220 share a common pivot shaft, the pivot shaft extending from one latch to the other so that movement of the two latches is coordinated; actuation of one latch results in a corresponding movement of the other latch. In this way, the movement of the latches can be controlled by a single lever 221 coupled to one of the latches 220. Alternatively, separate pivot pins could be used for each latch 220, with each latch having separate means for actuation.
Each latch 200 is shaped to receive and lock onto the free end of stud 100 as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B. More specifically, with reference to FIG. 1C, the recess in the latch 220 includes a first angled flange 223 extending from the latch 220, and a second angled flange 224 spaced from the first and also extending from the latch 220. Preferably the second angled flange 224 is longer than the first flange 223, and provides a camming surface which is engaged by the chamfered surface of the stud 100 as contact therebetween is made. This contact causes the latch 220 to pivot about axis 219 towards the vehicle, causing the stud to enter the recess 225, align properly in that recess, and causing the angled flange 223 to be positioned behind the stud 100 (i.e., between the stud 100 and the vehicle), thereby locking the stud 100 into the recess 225. The angled flange 223 is preferably also a camming surface to assist in the engagement and alignment of the stud 100 in the recess 225.
The latch 220 also includes within recess 225 a solid cap 228 which is configured to match the shape of the free end of the stud 100. The cross-sectional area of the recess 225 and cap 228 should be large enough to support the entire weight of the implement when it is lifted, as well as resist the directional forces applied to it when the implement is being worked. The free end of the stud 100 is shown engaged in the solid cap 228 in FIG. 2B, and the flattened head 101 of stud 100 helps ensure a good fit.
A latch locking assembly means 230 is used to lock the apparatus in place. One suitable locking assembly, best seen in FIGS. 4A and 4B, includes a spring loaded pin assembly 230, with spring 240 biasing against pin 241. In the locked position of FIG. 4A, spring 240 forces pin 241 through an appropriately dimensioned aperture 245 (FIG. 4B) in side gusset 54, thereby fixing the latch 220 in place. Lever 243, shown in FIG. 4A in the locked (orthagonal) position, prevents pin 241 from retracting out of the aperture in the gusset 54. In the unlocked position of FIG. 4B, the pin is retracted from the aperture, allowing movement of the latch for engagement or disengagement of the hitch. Each latch 200 can have a safety lock, or preferably a single safety lock can be used, preferably in conjunction with the latch that is located on the same side of the apparatus as lever 221, for operator convenience.
Turning now to FIGS. 1A and 2A, the jack assembly of the present invention is shown. The jack is preferably power operated such as by a hydraulic cylinder positioned in the cavity of the A-frame 30. The cylinder 300 is located in the body of the A-frame substantially between the top and bottom surfaces in the actuator drive cavity, forward (away from the vehicle) of where the snow blade hydraulic assembly is located. Locating this jack drive means substantially within the body of the A-frame 30 lightens the lift frame 20 (where the pump was conventionally located) for easy removal. Instead, the dead weight of the jack drive means is advantageously added to the blade, assisting in creating a cleaner snowplow pass. Importantly, the jack drive means in this location in no way obstructs the radiator of the vehicle, thereby allowing proper air flow to cool the vehicle engine and help prevent overheating. In addition, the jack drive means is well sheltered, minimizing potential damage as the vehicle approaches the blade assembly for mounting. Preferably, the bulk of the jack drive means is located substantially in the horizontal plane of the A-frame defined by the top and bottom surfaces. As shown in FIG. 5, jack foot 310, which preferably includes a curved skid shoe portion 311 and a relatively straight elongated portion 312 is coupled to tab 319, such as by welding, at about a 45� angle. This assembly is pivotally coupled to the A-frame assembly via pin 315 through opposite side gussets 317 (one shown) The jack shoe 311 is lowered by actuation of the hydraulic cylinder 300, which causes counter-clockwise rotational movement of the tab 319 about the axis of the pin 315. A return spring 325 biases against the cylinder 300 such that the jack 310 can be raised by retraction of the cylinder 300, this time by clockwise rotational movement of the tab 319 about the axis of the pin 315. An adjusting nut 327 is used to provide the proper tension on spring 325. By lowering the jack 310, the assembly can be raised to the appropriate height for engagement with the female receiving end of the hitch assembly mounted on the vehicle. This design allows for raising or lowering of the jack to virtually any extent within its raised (i.e., stowed in a position substantially parallel to the A-frame) and lowered (i.e., as shown in FIG. 5) range, in contrast to the prior art which allowed for only incremental lowering or raising (such as in half inch or one inch increments). This greatly facilitates the mounting operation, especially where the height of the lift assembly has changed, such as due to snow accumulation on the ground. Preferably the hydraulic controls are placed in an accessible location, such as the front of the vehicle grill, so that the operator can operate the jack while visually inspecting the height of the lift assembly and align it appropriately with the vehicle. Preferably the hydraulic controls include a flow divider which routes the hydraulic fluid to either the actuator drive or to the jack drive, as needed.
In a preferred embodiment, the jack activation switch includes two built-in safety features. When the jack is to be used, it is controlled by a switch on the A-frame (or the vehicle grill). However, the switch will not activate the jack unless the in-cab controls are locked in the float (i.e., lower) position, as only in this position is power supplied to the jack switch. As a result, it is not possible to operate the jack while the snow plow is in the raised position, as this could be potentially hazardous to the user. In addition, once the plow is locked securely on the vehicle, if the jack is not retracted, there is a wired-in safety to ensure that the jack arm is retracted prior to activating the plow blade. Specifically, the in-cab plow blade lift control is wired to the jack retract circuit. As a result, if the jack is not retracted, when the operator used the in-cab lift function, the jack will automatically retract, making it impossible to operate the snow plow blade with the jack in the extended position.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the location of the studs 100 and the latches 220 can be reversed; the studs 100 can be located on the accessory being attached, and the latches on the vehicle chassis, as shown in FIGS. 6A, 6B, 6C, &A and 7B. Thus, in FIG. 6B, stud 100′ is mounted on pivotable latch 220′ such as by welding. The latch 220′ is the same as the latch 220 discussed above except for the substitution of the stud 100′ for the recess 225 and corresponding cap 228 and flanges 223 and 224. The cap 228′ and flanges 223′ and 224′ are instead located attached to mounting frame 11′, which is affixed to the vehicle chassis and is stationary. As the stud 100′ approaches the mounting frame 11′, the camming surface on the flange 224′ contacts the chamfered surface of the studs 100′ and causes the latch 220′ to pivot, whereby the stud 100′ is received by cap 228′ as illustrated in FIGS. 7A and 7B.
In operation, the vehicle is positioned close to the hitch assembly, and the jack mechanism is operated so that the lift assembly is raised or lowered depending upon the height of the mounting frame 11. Once the proper height is achieved (as determined by visual inspection), the vehicle is driven towards the male end 215 of the hitch assembly so that it is received under the mounting frame 11. At this point the latches 220 are in the unlocked position shown in FIG. 1A, positioned to grasp and engage the studs 100. Once the studs 100 are positioned in the recesses 225 of the latches 220, the lever 221 can be used to ensure that the latches 220 have been fully actuated to the locked position as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B. Suitable locking pins or other safety locking mechanism can be used to ensure that the lift assembly does not prematurely disengage from the vehicle. The lift assembly is now locked to the vehicle chassis. The jack is then lifted back substantially parallel with the A-frame where it is stowed during use of the plow. To disengage the lift assembly from the chassis, the jack is lowered to the ground to support the assembly, and the lever 221 is placed in the down position, which pushes the latch away from the studs 100, disengaging the same and actually pushing the mounting frame 11 away from the lift assembly.
This configuration greatly facilitates the mounting procedure and reduces the risk of injury, as the operator is inside the vehicle during the mounting process. In the event the lift frame 20 was not properly aligned with the mounting frame 11 during the procedure and the latches 220 do not completely lock automatically, the operator can complete the locking process by proper manual clockwise rotation of the handle 221 of the latch.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that although the lift frame of the alternative embodiment can be automatically mounted to the vehicle as detailed above, the present invention also includes within its scope the case where the lift frame of the alternative embodiment is manually mounted by proper manual actuation of the latch handle 221.

Take away the pain of knowing. Fill the emptiness with light.
First off, I must say that I live and act much younger than a 49 year old guy. When not working for my business, my lifestyle consists of having fun in the city during the week and getting out to the woods on the weekends. MountainBiking and XC skiing are my passions - but I'm equally at home on the Elmwood and Hertel strips or visiting Albright Knox and Kleinhans. I'm able to pack quite a bit into a busy schedule. When not juggling client deadlines, I'm most certainly out with friends or working on the house and yard. I'm a Bills and Sabres season ticket holder and attend way too many concerts than I probably should. Friends are very important to me. I think our close circle of friends helps makes us who we are and I try to surround myself with creative and interesting people. My closest friends contain architects, musicians, artists, restaurateurs and other business owners. I own my own graphic design and photography business and work from a home-based office. This keeps me quite busy - but never too busy for the closest person in my life. Being constantly creative in my career overflows into life. Designing the look and feel for my home and yard is another fun thing for me. Now, finding the time to mow the lawn is a different story! The hardest thing I face in life - and something I would love a partner to help me with - is balancing all this business and activity with quality down time. For example, I do cook, but would LOVE to learn how to expand on this skill with more quiet nights at home. Which brings me to something that could be an issue with some... I'm a vegetarian. I'm not a "march with a sign" vigilante vegan - but I do take it seriously. There's just so much amazing ethnic food out there and I would love to explore it even more than I have. Which leads me to talk about travel a bit. I love visiting exciting new places - often to include some of the outdoor activities I enjoy. I've mountainbiked and kayaked in some pretty cool places all over the world (Alaska, Greece, Europe, Utah, most of California) and each time it provided some of the best memories of my life. I want to continue this exploration for as long as I possibly can so finding someone to travel with would be great. I think I'm a quite adaptable person, but if you are the "everything must stick to the schedule" type, we probably won't get along to well. I LOVE spontaneity. From the little things like dancing in the kitchen while the pasta boils, to changing the set plans for the weekend because a friend offered up his place in Ellicottville. Life isn't scripted. It sound so cliche and corny, but I believe you have to go with the flow or you'll get swallowed up by the current. I think of myself as a generous person - but there's always room for improvement and growth. I have many varied interests and I'm always seeking out new challenges... all we need to do is find each other so we can take on the world together. Finally... Honesty. Generosity. Respect. I know there are just words to a lot of people. They certainly aren't for this guy. I believe that everything needs to be built upon these essential traits for any relationship to flourish and grow... and you'll get them from me. Now that the serious stuff is out of the way - lets have some fun and explore the possibilities!
