SLACK ROPE AND LIFT CONTROL FOR USE WITH PLOW

摘要

A system for controlling slack in a winch rope associated with a vehicle caninclude a winch, a plow, and a support member pivotably coupled to the plowandcarrying a pulley that receives the rope for raising and lowering the plow. Alimitswitch can be operatively associated with the winch and configured toselectivelyenable and disable lowering of the plow by the winch. A first member can becarriedby the support member and operatively associated with the switch. A biasingmember can bias the support member to a first position when a load on thewinchrope is below a predetermined threshold. The first member can be in at leastsubstantial alignment with the switch when in the first position. The switchcanchange an activation state upon the first member being in the first positiontoautomatically disable lowering of the plow by the winch.
