Abstract

This invention relates to the art of removing snow from driveways, walkways, roads, and the like. The snow removing system removes snow from the driveway and disposes it. The system can be operated by a person or by a computer program or by remote controller. The system comprises of components that are relatively small that can be easily assembled and stowed away after use. The system is easy use and does not require manual labor other than an easy setup and dismantle operations.

Claims

1. A snow removing system for removing snow from a surface area comprising:

a guiding system comprising a guiding track fixed to said surface area defining at least one boundary of a snow removal area;

a snow throwing system moveably located on said guiding system with at least one motor driven wheel riding on said track;

a snow collecting system that removes snow from said surface area towards said snow throwing system comprising at least one plow movable along a plow track with one end connected to said throwing system, said at least one plow is attached to a motor driven wheel that engages said plow track;

wherein said snow throwing system comprises a motor driven impeller housed in a casing to throw said snow delivered by said collecting system through a chute;

a motion control system that controls the operation of said snow removing system including said snow collecting and throwing systems.

2. The snow removing system of claim 1 wherein said guiding track comprises a prismatic track.

3. The snow removing system of claim 1 wherein said plow track comprises a prismatic track.

4. The snow removing system of claim 1 wherein said motion Control system comprises an electric controller for regulating the movement of both collecting and throwing systems.
