Three-stage snow thrower

A multiple-stage snow thrower for removing accumulated snow, said multiple-stage snow thrower having a housing that includes a central portion and a recess extending rearwardly from said central portion and said central portion having opposing side walls, a frame, and a power supply operatively connected to said frame, said multiple-stage snow thrower comprising:

• a lateral drive shaft operatively connected to said power supply, wherein said lateral drive shaft is rotatably driven by said power supply, said lateral drive shaft extends between said opposing side walls of said central portion of said housing;
• a longitudinal drive shaft operatively connected to said power supply, wherein said longitudinal drive shaft is rotatably driven by said power supply, said longitudinal drive shaft is oriented perpendicular to said lateral drive shaft;
• a first stage assembly connected to said longitudinal drive shaft, wherein rotation of said longitudinal drive shaft rotates said first stage assembly to expel said snow from said housing;
• a second stage assembly connected to said longitudinal drive shaft, wherein rotation of said second stage moves said snow toward said first stage assembly;
• a third stage assembly connected to said lateral drive shaft, wherein rotation of said third stage assembly moves said snow toward said second stage assembly,
• wherein said snow is moved from said third stage assembly toward said second stage assembly and from said second stage assembly toward said first stage assembly without ram induction.
