Definitions

  • This invention relates to a sweeping machine comprising a horizontal brush cylinder which throws the rubbish into a receiving device. Beneath the receiving device there is a free space of suflicient height to prevent the receiving device, generally formed by the collecting trough of an elevator, to hit inequalities of the ground.
  • known sweeping machines are generally provided with a flexible screen hang ing freely between the brush and said space. It has also been suggested to use as a screen a roller mounted on oscillatable arms maintaining the roller on the ground at a distance in front of the brush cylinder. This roller picks up a certain amount of rubbish and flattens it onto the ground thereby reducing the grip of the brush on the material to be thrown up.
  • a tube is arranged parallel with the brush cylinder between the same and the receiving device, said tube being supported by the ground in contact with the periphery of the brush cylinder and being longitudinally traversed with radial play by a transverse bar mounted onto the machine.
  • This tube screens off the space beneath the receiving device towards the brush.
  • the brush cylinder 1 rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow 2 during the movement of the sweeping machine in the direction of the arrow 3.
  • a tube 4 is freely and loosely traversed by a bar 5 to keep the tube within the range of its normal active positions, in which the tube 4 rests on the ground 6 and rolls over it while being simultaneously in contact with the brush 1 by which it is driven round in the direction of arrow 7.
  • the rotation of the tube 4 in the direction of arrow 7 is produced by the rolling of the tube on the ground 6 and sustained by the action of the periphery of the brush cylinder 1.
  • the tube 4 is preferably made of a relatively soft, elastic material able to resist shocks, such as rubber or the like.
  • a sweeping machine comprising a brush cylinder adapted to contact a ground surface and being rotatable about an axis extending in at least substantial parallelism with said ground surface; a receiver for matter swept ofl? said ground surface by said brush cylinder, said receiver having an elongated inlet spaced upwardly of said ground surface and away from said brush cylinder, extending lengthwise of the latter; an elongated rod mounted in the space between said brush cylinder and inlet and extending longitudinally of the former; and a tubular deflector surrounding said rod with freedom of play radially thereof in directions parallel and transverse to the plane of said ground surface, said deflector being in rolling contact with said ground surface and with said brush cylinder so as to be rotated by the latter.
  • tubular deflector is composed of elastically yieldable material.
