LINE STRIPER WITH DEPLOYABLE SWEEPER
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A line striper comprising:
- a material deployment system configured to receive material from a material source and deliver the received material to a deployment mechanism, wherein the deployment mechanism is configured to apply the received material to a surface; and
a mechanical debris removal system configured to, when actuated, move along an application path ahead of the deployment mechanism such that debris is dislodged from the surface, wherein the mechanical debris removal system comprises a contact mechanism configured to facilitate dislodging of the debris from the surface.

11. A method for applying material to a surface using a line striper, the method comprising:
-
deploying a sweeper system ahead of a material deployment system within an application zone such that debris within the application zone is dislodged from the surface; actuating the sweeper system, wherein actuating comprises a portion of the sweeper system; contacting, with a contact mechanism of the sweeper system, the surface; dislodging the debris from the surface; and removing the debris from the application zone; and applying material, using the material deployment system, to the substantially debris-free application zone. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A sweeper system for a line striper, the system comprising:
-
a contact mechanism configured to contact a surface; a movement mechanism configured to cause the contact mechanism to move such that, when in contact with the surface, debris on the surface is dislodged; and an actuator configured to move the sweeper system between a deployed position and a to storage position on the line striper. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
