ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a very light weight portable single stage snow remover which is electrically powered, can be operated and manipulated in a sideways swinging fashion in the manner of a broom, can handle normally difficult areas to clean such as steps and patios, can conveniently and easily be used in larger areas such as driveways and sidewalks, and can be pushed forward along the surface to be cleaned without having to swing the unit when forward movement is more desirable than sideward movement. The snow remover comprises a bladed rotor which operates within a housing and is rotated by an electric motor, the blades of the rotor throwing the snow rearwardly and upwardly against a snow collecting and directing wall which projects the snow in the direction desired. There is a direct drive relationship between the rotor and the motor and the entire motor-rotor housing is connected with a handle which is selectively adjustable relative to the direction of throw of the rotor and provided with a pair of hand grips to enable the unit to either be swung sideways in the manner of a conventional broom or pushed forward along the surface to be cleaned.
