  • Patent number: 11724208
    Abstract: A ball is provided forming an inside structure of the snow person, the ball having an inner and outer surface. The ball is a unitary work piece that is free and unconnected to other work pieces. An adhesion surface is disposed on the outer surface of the ball, the adhesion surface provided with nodules that extend away from the surface of the ball to adhere snow while the ball is rolled. Light units are integrated into the surface of the ball and having light emitting portions that extend away from the surface of the ball. A light output of the light units is selected to transmit light through a layer of snow. Connections between the light units situated within the ball connect the light units together.

  • Publication number: 20170014725
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a ball and product formed thereof is forms light weight frame of a snowman. A core is provided in the shape of a round object. A snow adhering texture is created by winding a malleable wire around the core that forms wire and openings substantially around the core that captures and adheres snow as the ball of wire is rolled in snow. A substantial portion of the core is made of a material that is lighter than snow of the same volume.

  • Publication number: 20130239604
    Abstract: Method System & Apparatus that captures and releases snow. A snow mattress configured to be rolled concentrically having a snow receiving surface arranged on a side and a cooling device arranged within the snow mattress that transfers cool to the snow receiving surface with sufficient coolness to prevent snow from melting. Snow receiving portions are formed on or in the snow receiving surface, the snow receiving portions configured in a concave form to capture snow therein. Extended portions are adjacent the snow receiving portions, the extended portions are arranged to extend distally from a surface of the snow receiving surface.

  • Patent number: 8011991
    Abstract: A building component for facilitating a construction of a snow man/woman. A spherically-shaped body is provided that has an outer surface and an interior, the interior substantially lighter than when the interior is filled with snow. An adhesion surface is provided on the outer surface of the spherically-shaped body that substantially increases the ability of the outer surface to adhere snow to the spherically-shaped body. The spherically-shaped body and adhesion surface form a building component for facilitating the construction of the snow man/woman. The adhesion surface may be an electrically charged surface in combination with a texture or alone. The electric charge may be generated by a generator that may be disposed with the body.
