ABSTRACT:
A hand-held cleaning device is disclosed comprising a two-piece, molded plastic housing having a top handle and a forwardly-extending snout-like sweep tunnel with a forwardly-inclined intake opening at its forward end and containing a driveable endless belt with spaced flexible sweeping blades thereon which pick up dust and debris at the intake opening and carry it through the tunnel to a material-receiving chamber within the housing. An illuminating system is located in the housing above the tunnel for alternately acting as a flashlight or a beacon, and a debris cup is removably mounted on the underside of the housing for collecting and disposing of material from the material-receiving chamber, which cup may also act as a prop for inclinedly supporting the device on a flat surface when the illuminating system is being used. Power cells and an electric motor are mounted within partitions molded integrally with the axially-mating housing halves, and respective switching arrangements are provided for energizing the electric motor and the illuminating system.
