I hate to be a party pooper here, but.

Why don't you use a stainless steel pin and drill it and slide the padlock through the pin? Kinda like what I do with the plough on my quad?

 

What is a plow?

What do you use it for?

I'm confused......

 

How much did that patent cost you. I think you wasted your efforts in a patent. Anybody can come along a change just a little something and oops there goes your patent.


been dare done dat.

 

Besides, If someone was worried about a thief steeling a plow off of the front of a truck. Why doesn't the owner just park in front of a building or a big 'ol oak tree for that matter so as the thief couldn't get to the plow?

 

Then they would steal the truck.

And probably leave the plough.

 

Nice job Zap I probably won't ever buy one (no plow ) but it's a great idea!

 

speaking from experience.

dont over think a theif. all you need is a way to "sheild" the lock so that they can't beat it off with a hammer and chisel or bolt cutters.

building to resist a torch is crazy. cant be done , then they just torch the truck or any metal part.

i would try to sale the idea directly to the plow mfg or to some of the trailer mfg dealers or associations. might have to join an association, i know that they rescently had a large show in las Vegas about 2 months ago. (trailer mfg)

 

Very nice Zap. Hope it makes you rich!

 

ha ha!!

now i can keep an eye on you guys once in awhil while i'm at work...

we finally have the shop online!!

later..


...zap!

 

What's the shop site address?? I know a few people who might want one... Do I get a comission?

 

ahhh NO they cant...
i'm not bound to the original
and the way the deal was drawn up by the lawers will prevent any "infringments"
i have one year to make any changes i want..

and thats the bottom line...


...zap!

 

the shop dont have a web site..not yet anyway...

i'm not sure if we'll make them in house or whats gonna happen yet...

baby steps before we get to the full trot...

...zap!

 

Baby Steps...

 

I used to tig weld stainless at work and made plenty of things for myself, nothing patent worthy though. Stainless intake adapter for the probe GT, stainless guage pod, stainless blow off valve adapter, stainless battery box, etc. BTW I think you oughta beef it up a little. The welds look fused without any filler rod in the pics and from experience I know one swift blow with a 16 oz ball peen and it's bye bye snowplow.

 

i understand that about the welds being "fused"
but for once where i am working now has a tig welder.. but no foot pedal or torch or water access and its not near any electricty to speak of...
i need to boot my boss in the a$$

...zap!
