Snow melting tool system and method

Abstract

The snow melting tool reduces physical strain on the body from shoveling snow. It connects to a small propane tank for power. It effectively prevents cracks and chips in the asphalt caused by traditional shoveling. It saves time and frustration when clearing off sidewalks and driveways. It helps business owners remove snow for their customers.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A snow melting system, the system comprising:

 a tip, 
 
 a hose, 
 a fuel source tank with a fuel, 
 and 
 a holder, 
   wherein the snow melting assembly is configured to permit a user to melt snow and ice when the fuel is ignited at the tip of the wand and the wand is directed upon the snow and ice,   and   wherein the snow melting assembly is portable and user-worn.   
     
     
         2 . The snow melting system of  claim 1 , wherein the handle further comprises a lighter button. 
     
     
         3 . The snow melting system of  claim 2 , wherein the tip is wide-mouthed. 
     
     
         4 . The snow melting system of  claim 3 , wherein the tip has an oval-shaped opening. 
     
     
         5 . The snow melting system of  claim 4 , wherein the holder comprises a belt. 
     
     
         6 . The snow melting system of  claim 5 , wherein the refillable fuel source tank comprises a dispensing means and contains the fuel. 
     
     
         7 . The snow melting system of  claim 6 , wherein the fuel comprises propane. 
     
     
         8 . The snow melting system of  claim 7 , wherein the fuel source tank comprises a propane tank. 
     
     
         9 . The snow melting system of  claim 8 , wherein the wand comprises metal. 
     
     
         10 . The snow melting system of  claim 9 , wherein the fuel source tank is removably attachable to the holder via a clip. 
     
     
         11 . The snow melting system of  claim 10 , wherein the hose is flexible. 
     
     
         12 . The snow melting system of  claim 11 , wherein the trigger has at least two positions. 
     
     
         13 . A snow melting system, the system comprising:
 a portable, user-worn snow melting assembly having
 a metal-containing wand including
 a handle having a trigger with an internal control knobwherein the trigger has  2  positions, and 
 a tip with a wide-mouth, oval-shaped opening, 
 
 a hose that remains flexible at freezing temperatures, 
 a refillable fuel source tank containing a fuel that comprises propane and wherein the tank comprises a dispensing means, 
 and 
 a holder comprising a belt with a fastener. 
   
     
     
         14 . The snow melting system of  claim 13 , further comprising a set of instructions; and wherein the snow melting system is arranged as a kit. 
     
     
         15 . A method of use for the snow melting system, the method comprising the steps of:
 mounting a snow melting assembly having
 a wand including
 a handle with a trigger, and 
 a tip, 
 
 a hose, 
 a fuel source tank with a fuel, 
 and 
 a holder, 
   pointing the wand at frozen water,   igniting the fuel,   and   melting the snow.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the fuel source tank comprises a dispensing means. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , the igniting fuel step comprises operating the trigger, dispensing the fuel, and operating a lighter button. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17  wherein the hose remains flexible at freezing temperatures.
