Abstract:
1. A snow removal system for removing snow from a vehicle, the snow removal system comprises: a control assembly operationally connected to a power supply of the vehicle; a plurality of conducting strips operationally connected to said control assembly, said conducting strips connected to the body of the vehicle, said control assembly distributing power through said conducting strips such that said conducting strips generate heat when power is passed through said conducting strips for warming the body of the vehicle to melt snow on the vehicle; a plurality of hot air blowers operationally connected to said conducting strips for power supply, each of said hot air blowers connected to an exterior surface of the body of the vehicle to heat the exterior of vehicle, said plurality of hot air blowers comprising a front heater assembly, said hot blowers positioned proximate a front window of the vehicle, said hot air blower blowing heated air across the exterior of the front window of the vehicle for melting snow on the front window; said plurality of hot air blowers comprising a rear heater assembly, said hot air blowers positioned proximate a rear window of the vehicle, said rear hot air blower blowing heated air across the exterior of the rear window of the vehicle for melting snow on the rear window; a sensor assembly operationally connected to said control assembly, said sensor assembly connected to the body of the vehicle, said sensor assembly detecting snow on the body of the vehicle such that said sensor assembly actuates said control assembly for providing power to said conducting strips when said sensor assembly detects snow on the body of the vehicle; a remote assembly having a body member, said body member being held by the user, said remote assembly having a transmitter, said remote assembly having a plurality of buttons operationally connected to said transmitter, each of said buttons actuating said transmitter for transmitting a control signal to said control assembly to control operation, when said buttons are actuated by the user; said plurality of said buttons of said remote assembly comprising an off button and an on button, said off button actuating said control assembly for disconnecting said conducting strips from the power supply of the vehicle when said off button is actuated by the user, said on button actuating said control assembly and connecting the power supply to said conducting strips and said sensor assembly when said on button is actuated by the user; said plurality of buttons of said remote assembly comprising an automatic button, said automatic button selectively engaging said sensor assembly to said control assembly such that said sensor assembly actuates said control assembly to provide power to said conducting strips when said sensor assembly senses snow on the body of the vehicle and said sensor assembly is engaged with said control assembly; and said plurality of buttons comprising a manual button, said manual button selectively disengaging said sensor assembly, said manual button permitting manual control of said control assembly for providing power from the power source to said conducting strips when said manual button is actuated by the user.
