20090077761 | Floor sweeper with cloth cleaning pad - A light weight floor sweeper having a very low profile sweeper head that uses a sweeping brush and cleaning pad to slide across the surface to be cleaned. The floor sweeper head is mounted to an elongated handle by means of a universal pivot or universal joint which allows the floor sweeper head to easily pivot about the handle in any direction to pick up debris under over hanging cabinets or under furniture. A sweeping brush is mounted on the bottom of the sweeper head to provide sweeping action as the floor sweeper is moved in any direction. Furthermore there is a soft cleaning pad releasably mounted adjacent to the brush to entrap dust and particles that the brush does not pick up. The brush is powered by a small electric motor. A removable dust-receiving tray is mounted in the sweeper head to receive debris swept by the brush. | 03-26-2009 |
20100095466 | MANUAL ROTARY SWEEPER - A manually propelled, wheeled rotary brush having a handle and two wheels. The brush may have a generally cylindrical configuration which contacts the environmental surface on which the wheels ride, and may rotate about a horizontal axis disposed perpendicularly to the direction of travel as the wheels turn. The brush may be geared to the wheels, and may rotate faster than the wheels. The wheeled rotary brush may have a frame in which the gears are journaled. The handle may be propped in an elevated position by stabilizing legs disposed to engage the environmental surface at a point spaced apart from the brush. The brush may have replaceable brush elements which may be inserted into slots formed in a cylindrical core of the brush. | 04-22-2010 |
20110126368 | MACHINE FOR CLEANING GOLF CLUB HEADS - The invention concerns a machine characterized in that it uses the combination of at least one club support ( | 06-02-2011 |
20110203062 | Rotary broom with gearbox drive - A rotary broom mounts upon a slotted plate that pivots upon a double gearbox. The broom has bristles upon an axle within a shield that receives power from a chain drive that receives its power from a driveline from a top gear box. The top gearbox orients in the direction of the chain driveline and delivers its power through an output shaft. The top gearbox joins to a slotted plate that turns in the same direction as the broom. The top gear box receives its power through an input shaft perpendicular to the output shaft. The top gearbox input shaft extends downwardly and becomes the output shaft of the bottom gearbox. The bottom gearbox has an input shaft that connects to a power take off. This rotary broom receives rotational power, rotates it 90° upwardly, then rotates it 90° downwardly and at an angle laterally to drive the broom. | 08-25-2011 |
20120204367 | VACUUM CLEANER BRUSHROLL - A shaft driven vacuum cleaner brushroll that can be mounted in the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner and directly connected to a shaft of the cleaner's motor drive shaft system. The brushroll features a two-piece drive assembly that simplifies its manufacture and can be engaged on a wood spindle to effectively transmit torque from the vacuum cleaner drive to the brushroll. | 08-16-2012 |
20130097790 | Automatic Cleaning Machine for Wall Plates - An automatic cleaning machine for wall plates is disclosed. Multiple long axial tracks with the same direction are fixed in a parallel and array pivoted way on the circumference or the plate face of the object to be cleaned. Water-guiding pipes are formed on the long axial tracks which are provided with electric rails, and multiple magnetic valves are provided on the pipe walls of the water-guiding pipes in a spaced way. The long axial tracks are provided with sliding frames. The sliding frames are provided with conducting brackets corresponding to the electric rails, and provided with long axial magnetic-attracted bodies opposed to the magnetic valves to turn on or off the cleaning water with a magnetic force. Brush drive mechanisms are provided on the sliding frames, and the shaft levers of the brush drive mechanisms are arranged in a direction normal to the long axial tracks and combined with long axial brushes to scrub wall plates. Cover plates are provided outside the long axial brushes. The automatic cleaning machine can be used for cleaning the plate faces of external walls, glasses and solar panels. | 04-25-2013 |
20140130275 | Rotary Brush Turf Sweeper - A rotary brush turf sweeper includes a frame with a first and second brush carriage supporting a first and second rotary brush. The brush carriages include a first and second carriage bar extending lengthwise along the first and second rotary brush. The brush carriages pivotably attach to the frame by a mounting point on opposing ends of the first brush carriage, allowing the brush carriages to rotate about the attachment point. A brush height adjustment mechanism joins the carriage bars with an electronic actuator. The electronic actuator may be remotely operated to adjust the height of the rotary brushes from a work surface and elevate them so as not to touch the work surface. A first and second drive mechanism transfers rotational force from a pair of drive wheels, so that the rotary brushes always rotate as the device is towed by a vehicle. | 05-15-2014 |
20140230170 | POST-CMP CLEANING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A brush for cleaning of substrates such as for post chemical mechanical polishing (post-CMP) of the substrates, utilizes asymmetrical nodules or nodules with varying spacing, size, features, densities to provide an improved cleaning of substrates. | 08-21-2014 |

20140359954 | SWEEPING MACHINE FOR WORKING GROUND SURFACES, IN PARTICULAR LAWNS - A sweeping machine for working ground surfaces, in particular lawns comprises a machine frame adapted to be moved in the traveling direction, at least one wheel axle with at least one wheel, said wheel axle being supported in the machine frame transversely to the traveling direction, said wheel axle supporting the machine frame parallel to the ground surface, a least one sweeping element adapted to be driven for rotation about a sweeping element axis, said sweeping element axis extending substantially parallel to the ground surface, and said sweeping element is in contact with the ground surface when in an operating position. The sweeping machine of the invention provides that the sweeping element axis of the at least one sweeping element is adapted to be moved from a first operating position, assumed when travelling straight, to a second operating position, assumed when driving a curve, in which second position the sweeping element axis is in a position pivoted towards the inner side of the curve. | 12-11-2014 |
20160138883 | ELECTRIC HYDRAULIC BORE CLEANER SYSTEM - A bore cleaner for a tank that literally crawls through the bore of the tank, and in the process of crawling through the bore, cleans the interior walls of the bore with very little user intervention or monitoring. The bore cleaner extends and retracts as it moves through the bore of the tank, and as it extends and retracts, brushes on the present invention rub against the inside of the bore of the tank and remove debris. When the bore cleaner reaches one end of the bore of the tank, slight user intervention is necessary to reverse the direction of the brushes on the bore cleaner. | 05-19-2016 |
