Repositionable snow melt pad

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a snow melt pad that may include a chemical de-icing composition encapsulated within a pouch secured to a substrate. One or more anchor members such as hook and loop strips may be attached to the back or underside of the substrate. The anchor members may help keep the snow melt pad in place when walked or driven over and allow the pad to be repositioned and replaced as necessary.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is: 
     
         1 . A pad comprising:
 a substrate;   a pouch secured to said substrate, said pouch adapted to receive a de-icing composition, said pouch comprising a material that allows water to flow into and out of said pouch such that the water can contact said de-icing composition; and   an anchor member attached to the underside of said substrate, said anchor member allowing said pad to be removably secured to a surface upon which said pad is placed.
