Abstract:
1. A mold for creating objects out of snow, comprising (a) a substantially rectangularly shaped flat sheet of flexible material, said flat sheet having a top edge, a bottom edge, a first end, and a second end; (b) means for engaging said first end of said flat sheet to an area of said flat sheet a spaced distance away from said second end of said flat sheet, so that when said means for engaging said first end of said flat sheet is activated by an operator, said shape of said substantially rectangularly shaped flat sheet is formed into a circularly shaped sheet of a given diameter, said top edge of said first end and said second end being in the same plane, and said bottom edge of said first end and said second end being in the same plane, said now circularly shaped sheet of flexible material being placed on a ground surface and filled with snow, said means for engaging including a plurality of tabs affixed to said first end, and a plurality of slots positioned said spaced distance away from said second end, groupings of said slots being positioned at different respective areas denoting different circle diameters at spaced distances from said second end of said flat sheet, said plurality of slots being positioned substantially horizontally along the length of said flat sheet and substantially parallel to a midpoint of a cooperating tab, each grouping of said additional slots also being positioned in substantially vertical alignment a spaced distance from one another from said top edge of said flat sheet, said substantial horizontal positioning and substantial vertical alignment of said slots denoting circle diameters at said spaced distances from said second end of said flat sheet, so that when said operator connects said plurality of said tabs to said slots at both said horizontal position and said vertical alignment circle diameter denoting areas, an operator desired circularly shaped sheet of a given diameter is created.
