PURPOSE:To remove snow automatically under its own weight of snow and with- out requiring a power source by rotatably forming an endless belt-shaped cover, which is supported to a revolution body and consists of a light-transmitting material. CONSTITUTION:When a fixed quantity of snow falls 4 on the cover 35 and a receiving pan 38, the force of action toward the direction of gravity along an inclination increases, and force downward moving the cover 35 and belts 36, 37 overcomes frictional force in a short time to move these cover and belts. These cover and belts turn rollers 33, 34, and the cover 35 slides and moves on the upper surface of the generation set 1. Snow 4 is divided into sections in a section rotating along the roller 34 section on the lower side and falls, and snow falling on the receiving pans 38 also falls by an inclination toward the downward direction of the receiving pans. Accordingly, snow drops in succession, but a moving section, which begins to move once, drops the great part of snow by the resistance of kinetic friction and the action of inertia, a novel surface on which there is no snow is made available from the upper direction, and a generating function is recovered to be prepared for sunshine. Snow is removed automatically and repeatedly as mentioned above when a fixed quantity of snow falls. |
