Managing property after snowfall is a requirement to ensure safety. Yet conventional snow removal tools tend to be both energy and time consuming, while not effectively clearing a path to avoid slippage or incidents often associated with poor snow management. Shoveling snow is arduous and back breaking and itself leads to injury. Brushing snow works for only the lightest of snow falls. Machine blowing can clear surface snow fall but yet leaves icy pavement underneath.
Presently there are limited options on the market which can effectively and safely remove unwanted snow while requiring less exertion from the user. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem. There exists a need for a device and a system that is not being met by any known or disclosed device or system of present.
The vacuum heated snow melting blower (VHSMB) is a manually operated device that effectively facilitates snow removal through a process of vacumm, heating and blowing snow from a surface. The main purpose of the VHSMB is to introduce novel machinery that melts and removes snow at a rapid pace. The disclosure includes a vacuum component configured to suck snow from an adjacent floor surface, a heat component configured to heat the adjacent floor surface in arrears of the vacuum component and a blow component configured to blow the sucked snow from the snow removal apparatus, wherein a mechanism of the vacuum component configured to suck snow is also a mechanism of the blow component configured to blow the snow.
Throughout the description, similar reference numbers may be used to identify similar elements depicted in multiple embodiments. Although specific embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated, the invention is not to be limited to the specific forms or arrangements of parts so described and illustrated. The scope of the invention is to be defined by the claims appended hereto and their equivalents.
Reference will now be made to exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the disclosure is thereby intended. Alterations and further modifications of the inventive features illustrated herein and additional applications of the principles of the inventions as illustrated herein, which would occur to one skilled in the relevant art and having possession of this disclosure, are to be considered within the scope of the invention.
This innovative product is comprised of 2 plates, one plate supplies salt onto snow while the other plate offers a combination of heat. VHSMB then utilizes a powerful vacuuming feature to remove the slush/snow buildup with ease. Providing both a practical and convenient tool, the VHSMB can proficiently run off of gas and/or electricity and will offer two options: either a small battery powered hand-held design in order to provide optimal transportability or a larger option that will be constructed like the size of sanitation trucks, using four (4) powerful vacuums along with the standard hot plate, able to cover large grounds. The VHSMB may prove to be an ideal product for consumers who are responsible for managing snowfall.
Although the operations of the method(s) herein are shown and described in a particular order, the order of the operations of each method may be altered so that certain operations may be performed in an inverse order or so that certain operations may be performed, at least in part, concurrently with other operations. In another embodiment, instructions or sub-operations of distinct operations may be implemented in an intermittent and/or alternating manner.
