| مستخلص: | A heat distribution system is configured to melt snow that is proximate wheels on an automobile. The heat distribution system has a heat exchanger attached to the automobile and configured to heat air flowing past the heat exchanger creating hot air. A fan is proximate the heat exchanger and configured to move the hot air. A manifold is proximate the heat exchanger and configured to receive the hot air from the fan. A first duct, a second duct, and a transverse duct are joined to the manifold. A third duct and a fourth duct are attached to the transverse duct. Each duct terminates in a nozzle. The hot air is pushed through the manifold and out the nozzles melting the snow. |

| Claim: | 1. A heat distribution system configured to melt snow proximate wheels on an automobile; the heat distribution system comprising: a heat exchanger attached to the automobile and configured to heat air flowing past the heat exchanger creating hot air; a fan, proximate the heat exchanger, and configured to move the hot air; a manifold, proximate the heat exchanger and configured to receive the hot air from the fan; a first duct, a second duct, and a transverse duct, joined to the manifold; wherein the first duct further comprises: a first duct forward portion, directly connected to a first duct outward portion; a first duct upward portion, directly connected to the first duct outward portion; a first duct downward portion, directly connected to the first duct upward portion; wherein the first duct downward portion is directly connected to the first duct nozzle; a first duct nozzle, attached to an end of the first duct proximate a first wheel on the automobile; a second duct nozzle, attached to an end of the second duct proximate a second wheel on the automobile; a third duct, attached to the transverse duct; a third duct nozzle, attached to an end of the third duct proximate a third wheel on the automobile; wherein the hot air is pushed through the manifold and out the first duct nozzle, the second duct nozzle, and the third duct nozzle melting the snow proximate the first wheel, the second wheel, and the third wheel. |
| Claim: | 2. The heat distribution system, of claim 1 , further comprising: a fourth duct attached to the transverse duct; a fourth duct nozzle, attached to an end of the fourth duct proximate a fourth wheel on the automobile; wherein the hot air pushed through the fourth duct nozzle melts the snow proximate the fourth wheel. |
| Claim: | 3. The heat system distribution of claim 2 , wherein the second duct further comprises: a second duct forward portion, directly connected to a second duct outward portion; a second duct upward portion, directly connected to the second duct outward portion; a second duct downward portion, directly connected to the second duct upward portion; wherein the second duct downward portion is directly connected to the second duct nozzle. |
| Claim: | 4. The heat system distribution of claim 3 , wherein the transverse duct further comprises: a transverse duct forward portion directly connected to a transverse duct rounded portion; a transverse duct transition portion directly connected to the transverse duct rounded portion; a transverse duct tee section directly connected to the transverse duct transition portion; wherein the transverse duct tee section is directly connected to the third duct and the fourth duct. |
| Claim: | 5. The heat system distribution of claim 4 , wherein the third duct further comprises: a third duct outward portion, directly attached to the transverse duct tee section; a third duct upward portion, directly attached to the third duct outward portion; a third duct downward portion, directly attached to the third duct upward portion; wherein the third duct downward portion terminates into the third duct nozzle. |
| Claim: | 6. The heat system distribution of claim 5 , wherein the fourth duct further comprises: a fourth duct outward portion, directly attached to the transverse duct tee section; a fourth duct upward portion, directly attached to the fourth duct outward portion; a fourth duct downward portion, directly attached to the fourth duct upward portion; wherein the fourth duct downward portion terminates into the fourth duct nozzle. |
| Claim: | 7. The heat system distribution of claim 6 , wherein the manifold further comprises: a first tamper, adapted to alter the flow of the hot air into the first duct; a second tamper, adapted to alter the flow of the hot air into the second duct; and a third tamper, adapted to alter the flow of the hot air into the transverse duct. |
