Snow Melting Device

摘要

A snow melting device is provided that is suitable for residential or commercial use. The device comprises a wheeled hand cart having a housing that is partitioned into a first portion and a second portion. Snow to be cleared is deposited into the first portion and melted using hot water dispensed from a water circulating system and spray nozzles disposed about the housing periphery. The snow is melted and circulated through the water circulating system, which includes a hot water heater, a water pump, fuel supply reservoirs, a motor to drive the pump, and a water line that communicates heated water from the hot water heater to the nozzles. Snow is melted as it is shoveled into the device, and overflow water exits the housing through drain tubes at a given water level. The device eliminates having to transport or carry snow from an area being cleared.
