Metal brushes for road-sweeping machines - have steel bristles with welded or brazed hard metal tips for increased wear resistance

A tip of hard metal or metal carbide onto the end of each steel bristle. A slot is cut in the tip to receive the flat end of the bristle. Alternative design of bristle have conical tips butt welded at the smaller end of the cone to the end of the steel bristle. Yet another method uses a tip of the same dia. as the bristle with a tongue and groove welded joint. These composite bristles can be fixed to either circular or cylindrical brushes.

Device for pushing outer bristles of brushes outward

The device comprises a flat die in the form of a plate (2) which is initially pushed in between the bristles (4a) at the sides of the brush and which protrude beyond the bristles (4) of the central part of the brush. The flat plate has a central opening which is in line with the central part of the brush so that in a second movement the plate can be pushed down while pushing the side bristles (4a) further sideways.

Double Action Cleaning Tool

The double action cleaning tool of the present invention includes a dynamic double action dual brush head and a handle. The dynamic double action dual brush head includes two brush heads rotatably attached to a brush head base, allowing the brush heads to independently rotate about the axis in which it is rotatably attached to the brush head base. A mechanical device capable of storing and releasing energy is connected between the two brush heads, which is rigidly attached to the brush head base. The double action cleaning tool stores energy in the form of potential energy in the mechanical energy storage device of the dynamic double action dual brush head during the sweeping stroke of the double action push broom. At the end of the sweeping stroke, the stored potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and rotates the dual brush, thereby providing an additional sweeping motion. 1. A double action cleaning tool comprising:a first brush head;a second brush head connected to said first brush head at a brush head angle between said first brush head and second brush head; andwherein said first brush head and said second brush head are configured to rotate in the same plane, the first and second brush heads are biased into neutral positions which define the brush head angle and each brush head is adapted to deflect in use upon application of a force and return to the neutral position when the force is removed.2. The double action cleaning tool of further comprising a handle connected to said first brush head and said second brush head.3. The double action cleaning tool of further comprising:a brush head base having a base formed with a first brush head mounting point and a second brush head mounting point;a handle mount attached to said brush head base; andwherein said first brush head is attached to said brush head base at said first brush head mounting point, said second brush head is attached to said brush head base at said second brush head mounting point, and ...
