Snow removal system

Abstract

A snow removal device and system configured to facilitate the rapid removal of snow from a large area such as a driveway or sidewalk nearly instantly is described. The system employs at least two winches disposed in communication with heavy-duty cables. The cables are preferably yoked such that each cable connects to multiple contact points of an industrial-strength, burlap-based tarp. The tarp is extended across the target area, such as a driveway. Upon snow accumulation on the tarp, the winches pull the tarp off of the driveway, into a second area such as a yard. A hydraulic jack, disposed within the second area, is configured to rise, causing the tarp to form a cone, allowing the snow to fall off of the tarp so as to be deployed atop the target area again for further snow collection and removal.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A snow removal system configured to move snow from a first area to a second area comprising:
 a tarp, said tarp disposed across the first area;   a first winch, said first winch disposed in communication with a first post;   a second winch, said second winch disposed in communication with a second post;   a first cable, said first cable extending from said first winch to a first connection point and a second connection point of said tarp;   a second cable, said second cable extending from said second winch to a third connection point and a fourth connection point of said tarp;   wherein said first post and said second post are positioned in line, parallel to a border disposed between the first area and the second area, outside of the second area;   a hydraulic jack, said hydraulic jack centrally disposed within the second area;   wherein said first winch and said second winch are configured to pull said tarp via said first cable and said second cable from the first area to the second area; and   upon arrival of said tarp to the second area, said hydraulic jack is configured to rise, causing said tarp to form a cone, permitting snow to fall off of said tarp onto the second area.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said first post and said second post are cemented into position. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said hydraulic jack is cemented into position. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said first winch and said second winch are connected to a power source. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said hydraulic jack is connected to a power source. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a central point, disposed at a center of said tarp;   wherein said central point is reinforced; and   wherein said central point is configured to interface with said hydraulic jack.   
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a central point, disposed at a center of said tarp;   wherein said central point is reinforced; and   wherein said central point is configured to interface with said hydraulic jack.   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein said hydraulic jack is cemented into position. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein said first winch and said second winch are connected to a power source. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein said hydraulic jack is connected to a power source. 
     
     
         11 . A system for relocating snow from a first area to a second area comprising:
 at least one winch, said at least one winch disposed in communication with a multitude of cables;   at least one post, said at least one post disposed in communication with said at least one winch;   a tarp, said tarp dispersed flat across the first area;   an edge of said tarp, said edge equipped with reinforced connection points; and   wherein said multitude of cables are disposed in communication with said connection points.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a hydraulic jack, said hydraulic jack centrally disposed within the second area;   a central point, said central point disposed at a center of said tarp; and   wherein said central point is configured to interface with said hydraulic jack when said tarp is pulled via said at least one winch from the first area to the second area.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein said central point is reinforced with additional stitching. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein said central point is reinforced with additional tarp fabric. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein said central point is reinforced with additional stitching and plastic. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 at least one post, said at least one post disposed in communication with said at least one winch.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein said at least one winch has a capacity greater than one-half ton.
