First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for agitating debris particles from surfaces using an automated robotic vacuum comprising:
- applying power to said automated robotic vacuum;
vibrating a horizontal brush attached to said automated robotic vacuum wherein said brush vibrates in a plane horizontal to the plane of said surface powered by an electric motor;
wherein said brush vibrates by a spring connected to an agitating bar assembly connected to said automated robotic vacuum and wherein said agitating bar delivers movement to said brush through rubber mounts to agitate debris on surface and collecting said debris.
