ABSTRACT:
A snow removal system for roofs and vehicles. The first embodiment has a frame with thin, high sidewalls and a thin flat base, a cross brace and a curved handle. A long sheet of plastic tarp is attached to the base to direct blocks of cut snow down to the ground. A pair of foam berms are used to turn the tarp into a chute. The berms help keep the snow inside the sheeting, which speeds removal from the roof. A second embodiment, uses a modified snow pusher that has a flat base blade, a side wall, either an angled or curved back plate and a handle. A bermed tarp is attached to the open side edge of the base plate. The third embodiment is intended for cleaning vehicles. It has a U shaped channel and a plastic chute. As the device is moved over the car, the snow is quickly dumped off on the chute, leaving the vehicle clean.
