Method and apparatus for facilitating the construction of a snow man/woman

Abstract

A building component for facilitating a construction of a snow man/woman. A spherically-shaped body is provided that has an outer surface and an interior, the interior substantially lighter than when the interior is filled with snow. An adhesion surface is provided on the outer surface of the spherically-shaped body that substantially increases the ability of the outer surface to adhere snow to the spherically-shaped body. The spherically-shaped body and adhesion surface form a building component for facilitating the construction of the snow man/woman.

1 . An apparatus for constructing a snow man/woman, comprising:
 a sphere that has an outer surface and an interior;   an adhesion surface provided by nodules formed on and substantially around the sphere that adhere snow while the sphere is being rolled.   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the sphere is comprised of two hemispheres. 
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the nodules are trapezoidal in shape. 
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the sphere forms a body part of the snow man/woman selected from the group consisting of a trunk, torso, or head. 
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising that the sphere is substantially hollow. 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one rib connecting at least two points along an interior surface of the sphere. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one spoke connecting at least two points along an interior surface of the sphere. 
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising that an interior of the sphere comprises a material of light weight as compared with compacted snow. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising an adjoinment that is connectably mounted to the sphere. 
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising fixing means for attaching fixtures to the snow man/woman. 
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , further comprising that the fixture is selected from the group consisting of: an eye, nose, mouth, dog/cat eyes, ears, tail, nose or whiskers. 
   
   
       12 . A method for creating a component for a snow man/woman, comprising the steps of:
 creating a sphere that has an outer surface and an interior;   forming an adhesion surface comprising nodules on and substantially around the sphere that adhere snow while the sphere is being rolled.
