Floor and bounded surface sweeper machine
First Claim
1. A floor and bounded surface sweeper machine, of the type which comprises at least one supporting frame (1), wheels (2,3) supporting said frame (1), a cylindrical brush (7) parallel to a surface (8) to be swept clean and being supported on said frame at a position across the longitudinal axis of the machine, and a storage container (9) for the swept trash engaged releasably with said frame (1) and having a loading mouth (9a) adjacent said cylindrical brush (7), characterized in that it comprises, for engaging said container (9) with said frame (1), pivotally mounted guides (14) located in a central portion of said frame (1) and extending in a transverse direction to a longitudinal axis of the machine, swivel members (18) engaging pivotally said guides (14) with said frame (1) and defining a pivot axis connecting and transverse to said guides (14) and parallel to said longitudinal axis, hook-up elements (19-22) provided between said frame (1) and said guides (14) set apart from said swivel members (18) and adapted to hold said guides (14) at a raised position close against said frame (1), and spring members (23) projecting from said frame (1) and acting by spring bias on said container (9) in a substantially parallel direction to said guides (14) when said container has at least a major portion inserted on said guides (14) and said guides (14) are at least close to the raised position.

Abstract
The invention relates to a sweeper machine for floors and bounded surfaces, e.g. the floors of workshops and warehouses, courtyards, having engaged with the machine frame, a removable container for collecting the swept trash supported by pivotally-mounted guides engaged by swivel members extending in a crosswise direction to the machine'"'"'s longitudinal axis and cooperating to define a small frame intervening sealingly between a suction assembly in the frame and a suction mouth of the container, and with snap-action hook-up elements provided between the frame and the pivotally-mounted guides and spring members projecting from the frame and acting by spring contact on the container.
