초록 ▼

A container adapted to be placed near a walkway or road and adapted to receive a solid ice prevention composition such as salt pellets. The container has an entrance opening and an exit opening. The entrance opening of the container may be connected to a downspout directly or via a connecting member to direct water from the downspout into the container. Water enters the container through the entrance opening and mixes with the ice prevention composition to create a solution having a reduced freezing point. The solution exits the container through the exit opening where it is able to flow in its liquid state even after the ambient air temperature falls below thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit.

대표청구항 ▼

1. A device for helping to prevent the formation of ice on a ground surface, said device comprising: A container having a first side with an entrance opening therein and a second side with an exit opening therein, wherein the first side and second side are connected by a floor;A plurality of baffles extending upward from the floor in a staggered arrangement to create a horizontal serpentine water flow pathway along the floor of the container;A water soluble solid ice prevention composition in the container along the serpentine water flowpathway;A connector having a first end with a first opening adapted to be combined with a downspout and a second end with a second opening combined with the entrance opening of the container;A semi-rigid flange around the first opening, said semi-rigid flange having a first position and a first position and a second position wherein the size of the first opening is larger in the semi-rigid flange second position than in the semi-rigid flange first position, said semi-rigid flange being biased in the first position;Wherein the connector is movable between a lengthened position and a shortened position, wherein the lengthen position has a first distance between the first end and the second end and the shortened position has a second distance between the first end and the second end, wherein the first distance is longer than the second distance. 2. The device of claim 1 wherein the entrance opening is higher in elevation than the exit opening. 3. The device of claim 1 wherein the floor is higher in elevation at the first side than at the second side. 4. The device of claim 3 wherein the floor is angled at about between 3-8 degrees relative to horizontal. 5. The device of claim 1 wherein the container is adapted to allow water to enter through the entrance opening and dissolve the ice prevention composition to create a solution having a reduced freezing point. 6. The device of claim 1 wherein each baffle of the plurality of baffles further comprise ribs extending outward therefrom to help prevent the ice prevention composition from migrating clown the serpentine water flow pathway. 7. The device of claim 1 wherein the entrance opening further comprises retention members to help prevent the ice prevention composition from prematurely exiting the device. 8. The device of claim 1 wherein the exit opening further comprises retention members to help prevent the ice prevention composition from prematurely exiting the device. 9. The device of claim 1 wherein the serpentine water flow pathway is between about twenty and twenty-five inches from the entrance opening to the exit opening. 10. The device of claim 1 further comprising a removable lid for selectively covering the container. 11. The device of claim 10 wherein the lid further comprises a window. 12. The device of claim 1 wherein the container further comprises a window. 13. A device for helping to prevent the formation of ice on a ground surface, said device comprising: A container having a first side with an entrance opening therein and a second side with an exit opening therein, wherein the first side and second side are connected by a floor;A plurality of baffles extending upward from the floor in a staggered arrangement to create a horizontal serpentine water flow pathway along the floor of the container;A water soluble ice prevention composition in the container along the serpentine water flow pathway;A connector having a first end with a first opening adapted to be combined with a downspout and a second end with a second opening combined with the entrance opening of the container;A semi-rigid flange around the first opening, said semi-rigid flange having a first position and a second position wherein the size of the first opening is larger in the semi-rigid flange second position than in the semi-rigid flange first position, said semi-rigid flange being biased in the first position;Wherein the connector is movable between a lengthened position and a shortened position, wherein the lengthened position has a first distance between the first end and the second end and the shortened position has a second distance between the first end and second end, wherein the first distance is longer than the second distance;Wherein the connector comprises a slit beginning at the first end and extending longitudinally along a predetermined length of the connector to allow the first end to be stretched to a larger size. 14. The device of claim 1 wherein the container further comprises an inside, an outside, and a water collection area on the outside of the container adjacent to the entrance opening, said water collection area for collecting water before it enters the device through the entrance opening. 15. The device of claim 14 wherein the water collection area further comprises at least one wall for helping to retain water before it enters the container through the entrance opening, wherein the entrance opening has a top and there is a predetermined distance between the floor and the top of the entrance opening, wherein the at least one wall of the water collection area has a top and the distance between the floor and the top of the at least one wall is about the same as the predetermined distance. 16. The device of claim 14 wherein the water collection area further comprises an overflow opening for allowing water to drain out of the water collection area without entering the container.
