A snow bracket is disclosed comprising an elongated body with a snow retention end and a roof attachment end. The snow retention end has a snow barrier means constructed and configured to inhibit sliding of snow from a roof to which the snow bracket is attached. The roof attachment end is bent into a barb with a point extending toward the snow retention end, the point adapted to be held in a roof batten to inhibit the tendency of forces of the snow load on the snow bracket to straighten out the ...

A snow guard that may be secured to both flat tiled roofs and undulating tiled roofs comprises a corrugated base including a central arched portion flanked by a pair of synclines, with a wing member upstanding from the base. The arrangement is inherently stiff and may be secured to the roof by screws or the like passing through the arched portion or through the synclines.

A decorative visual display device for circulating a fluid and simulated snow particles around a diorama. A snow globe is provided with a fluid propeller to circulate the fluid and particles within an outer transparent shell to provide the visual effect of snow falling on the diorama. A motor is placed within the base of the snow globe and may be actuated or deactuated to start and stop the snowfall effect.

A snowshoe (1) formed from a semi-flexible platform (6) including binding means (34, 37, 39, 41, 42) for binding the heel and toe of a user's shoe or boot (50) to the platform, which is substantially imperforate, and the platform being molded from semi-flexible plastics material that can flex with the user's footwear, such as a shoe or boot.

A snow plow includes a central blade and left and right end blades pivotally connected to the ends of the central blade for movement between open positions in line with the central blade, and folded positions forward of the central blade. The rear of the central blade includes a horizontal slot for removable insertion of a loader bucket to lift and drive the plow. Side walls extend forward from the outer end of each end blade, each side wall including a removable wear shoe for sliding contact on...

A motor driven or pedal powered snow vehicle designed to emulate the steering and balancing characteristics of motorcycles and bicycles. The snow vehicle includes a frame, a swing arm, a track carriage, an endless loop track, a snow compacting ramp, an elongated steering member and a ski. The swing arm pivots upon the frame and angles downward behind the frame. The track circulates a fixed path around the track carriage. The track carriage extends forward from a pivot connection with the rear of...

A snow vehicle has a hull with a plurality of longitudinally extending bottom sliding surfaces adapted to independently contact the ground and each incorporating a control element to cause the vehicle to be steered as it is rotated about a longitudinal axis. The snow vehicle has an operator platform hull which will accommodate an operator seated on the snow vehicle when the snow vehicle is utilized as a sled and which will accommodate the feet of a rider when the snow vehicle is operated as a sn...

A snow guard includes a strap made from pressed corrosion resistant metal tubing to resist bending. The strap configurations accommodate different types of roof materials. A head of a sufficiently thick corrosion resistant sheet metal is pressed into a shape to resist the load of snow and ice. The head is soldered or welded to the strap to form a rigid joint.

A snow removal machine that comprises a carriage assembly including ground engaging supporting wheels connected to and disposed beneath the carriage assembly and a handle extending from one end of the carriage assembly for manual control of the snow removal machine by the user thereof. A snow plow is mounted at the other end of the carriage assembly for engagement with the snow as the snow removal machine is advanced by the user thereof. The snow plow includes a transversely extending scoop havi...

The present invention relates to snow guns and improvements thereto. The improved snow gun has a large boom which receives liquid under pressure and forces it through small nozzles. The structure does not require high pressure compressed gas or large fan guns, and thus, is much more cost effective to install and operate. In a preferred form, the boom responds to changes in wind direction, which otherwise could reduce the effectiveness of the system.
