Title: Snowblower discharge guide and control arrangement therefor

Abstract: A discharge guide is mounted on the same base as the snowblower engine. A rotatable flange assembly surrounds an outlet tube in the collector housing and a drive engagement between the rotatable flange assembly and the discharge guide transmits rotary motion therebetween. A flexible cord extends from a control assembly in the snowblower handle along the snowblower frame to the rotatable flange assembly to afford control over turning movement of the discharge guide.
