ABSTRACT:
An improved lawn sweeper for clearing a lawn of accumulated debris such as leaves, pine straw, and the like is disclosed. The novel sweeper comprises, in the embodiment shown, an open-bottomed housing holding a rotating cylinder having a number of very strong, flexible wire cable sections bolted to the cylinder. The ends of the wire cable sections have formed thereon a section of tubing pressed flat on the outer ends thereof. The wire cables are mounted in pairs on the cylinder with the flat tubing sections being toed in somewhat in relation to each adjacent pair. The rapidly moving blades create a strong updraft to sweep up accumulated debris with the toe in of the pressed flat tubing sections creating a swirling action which tends to enhance the lifting of the moving air. The ends of the wire cable sections are positioned above the ground by an adjustable distance ranging from one (1) inch to three (3) inches.
