ABSTRACT:
A floor sweeper for sweeping and collecting dirt and debris from a floor surface includes a rotative brush element and a cooperatively associated pivotal dust bin. The bin is pivotally mounted for movement between a generally horizontal operative position and a generally vertical dumping position. The bin further includes an opening along its forward wall which is adapted to receive the debris from the brush when the bin is in its operative position, and which is directed downwardly to release the debris when the bin is moved to its dumping position. To facilitate easy dumping and release of the debris contained within the bin, the housing is constructed with a stop face which permits the bin to be rocked about its vertical position and thereby knock against the housing to jar loose the debris contained therein and effect easy release thereof. To minimize the retention of the debris within the housing, the stop face is oriented such that the opening is continually directed downwardly through the entire rocking operation.
