Abstract
An ice melting device formed into an impact dispersion projectile for melting ice. The projectile being formed of salt and other ice melting chemicals. The ice melting compound is mixed, placed into a jig, dipped into a combination of liquid detergent and water then drained, compressed, heated, and then cooled. The projectile may then be removed from the jig and packaged. The projectile may be thrown by an individual onto an ice coated surface where the projectile upon impact will disintegrate and disperse the ice melting salt and ice melting chemicals onto the ice coated surface initiating the melting of the ice.
Claims9
An ice melting device comprising:
- a combined compound having sodium chloride mixed, compressed and dried with a soap and water and at least one additional compound selected from the group consisting of calcium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, and calcium magnesium acetate, and combinations thereof, said combined compound being formed into a projectile, said projectile having a first compressed state and first compressed shape, said first compressed shape being selected from the group consisting of a sphere, a semi-sphere, a cone, a cylinder and an ovoid, said first compressed shape having a size being selected from the group consisting of a softball, a baseball, a tennis ball, an egg and a soup can, said projectile being constructed and arranged to be held in an individual's hand and to be tossed onto an iced surface, said first compressed state being dried and solid, said projectile having a second state and a second shape, said second state being granulated, said second shape being an impact dispersion fan shape after said projectile has struck said iced surface.
