Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved road sweeper.
- Road sweepers are small vehicles used for cleaning very large areas of floor. They have wheels and rotating brushes underneath for collecting dirt, as well as a driver's seat for the operator.
- the dirt is collected into a container located at the front or rear of the vehicle.
- the container is connected to the body of the vehicle by mobile arms. These arms allow to raise the container above a rubbish skip and tip the dirt into it.
- the dirt is largely composed of very light fine dust.
- the operator may cover his face with a special mask which covers the mouth, nose and eyes.
- a special mask which covers the mouth, nose and eyes.
- it is a nuisance to wear, especially in hot environments and it prevents the operator from speaking easily with others.
- the masks must be changed frequently since their filtering capacity decreases with use and they therefore represent a considerable cost.
- the drawing shows a road sweeper 1 comprising a body 3 and wheels 5. Under the body rotating brushes (not shown) allow to clean a floor and collect dirt.
- the body has a driver place comprising a driver's seat 7 for an operator and a steering wheel 9 for steering the vehicle.
- a mobile container 11 is provided to hold the dirt collected by the brushes. It can be moved from a lower position where it fits onto the body 3 and an upper position for unloading the dirt. Arrow A illustrates this upward movement. This movement is obtained by means of two pairs of mobile arms 12, 13 which are activated by means of a hydraulic mechanism. Two ends of each pair are functionally connected to the sides of the body while the other two ends are functionally connected to the sides of the container.
- a protective device 15 is mounted on the body to protect the operator from the dust contained in the dirt. It is located behind the seat 7.
- the device is basically composed of a vertical wall 18, a roof 19 and side walls 20. These parts are preferably made of a scratch-proof transparent plastic material and are mounted on a frame 21.
- the device is positioned behind the operator since the road sweeper illustrated is a rear dumper. In the case of a front dumper road sweeper, it would be positioned in front of the operator.
