Abstract
A snow melting device that combines both a heating element and a compound for dissolving snow is provided. The snow melting device comprises a container including a snow melting compound, and a conduit with a first end connected to the container, and a second end connected to a distribution mechanism. The distribution mechanism includes a housing with an open first axial end and a second axial end connected to the conduit. A motor is positioned adjacent to the second axial end of the housing, drives a pump that is connected to the conduit and provides the snow melting compound to the distribution mechanism that includes a fan and a heating element. The fan atomizes the snow melting compound and sprays it out of the first axial end of the housing.
Claims15
A snow removal device comprising:
- a container that holds a snow melting compound,
- a conduit that is connected between the container and a distribution mechanism,
- the distribution mechanism comprising:
- a housing with first and second axial ends with one of the axial ends connected to the conduit,
- a pump that is connected to the conduit and draws the snow melting compound into the distribution mechanism;
- and
- an air mover that distributes the snow melting compound out of the other axial end.
