Abstract
The invention provides a means to remove accumulated snow from a horizontal surface using forced air directed through the tubular portion onto the shovel portion of the forced air snow shovel. There are no mechanical sections associated with the forced air snow shovel itself, though the forced air can originate from many existing forced air devices currently existing or to be developed. There is an opening which will receive an air flow device. The wheel assembly comprises an axle fork, an axle mounted to the axle fork, and a pair of wheels attached to the axle.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1 . A forced air snow removal apparatus which comprises:
A. a tubular member with a flat lower blade of one piece of molded plastic, the lower blade arching upward at a first end, a plurality of raised side wall means each of which is rigid to provide rigid support to said apparatus while increasing its snow removal capacity; lower blade means of substantially smooth horizontal bottom surface member; said smooth horizontal bottom surface member enabling said device to be slid on pavement in a horizontal position; said tubular member portion of one piece of molded plastic comprised with flat lower blade; said tubular member portion accept forced air directed through said tubular member intake opening at one end and being tapered so as to define a smaller throat opening at lower blade; B. a mobile frame fixedly attached to the said tubular member at a first end; said mobile frame fixedly attached to the said tubular member at a second end; said mobile frame fixedly attached to said tubular member at first end and second end connector pins; said mobile frame having an elongated base with opposite wheels supporting said rear end of said base of said frame; C. means for mounting said mobile frame to tubular member such that said tubular member can undergo pivotal movement between selected horizontal direction; D. means for adjusting the vertical position of said mobile frame wherein angle of said tubular member to said horizontal surface is adjusted.
2 . The forced air snow removal apparatus of claim 1 wherein said tubular member accepts forced air through intake tubular member opening, forced air is directed through said opening onto the upper flat surface of lower blade; said lower blade having exhaust ports by which forced air is directed; said lower blade having raised ridges which directs air in channels;
3 . The forced air snow removal apparatus of claim 1 wherein said mobile frame having elongated vertical tubular embediment fixedly attached to said tubular member at first end upper portion of tubular member.
4 . The forced air snow removal apparatus of claim 3 wherein said mobile frame having elongated horizontal tubular embodiment fixedly attached to said tubular member at second end of lower portion of tubular member.
5 . The forced air snow removal apparatus of claim 3 wherein said mobile frame having elongated forked vertical tubular embodiment fixedly attached to said second horizontal tubular embodiment and first vertical tubular embodiment.
6 . The forced air snow removal apparatus of claim 5 said elongated forked vertical tubular embodiment means for mounting said wheel axle assembly.
7 . The forced air snow removal apparatus of claim 5 said mobile frame having elongated forked vertical tubular embodiment fixedly attached to said horizontal tubular embodiment, said forked vertical tubular embodiment being larger in circumference than that of said tubular member at first and upper portion of tubular member; said tubular member height adjustment is relative to raising or lowering of said forced air snow removal apparatus; said adjustment is secured using adjustment screw of said forked vertical tubular embodiment directed against said tubular member of first end upper portion of tubular member.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
