An automated road sweeper is provided including transport apparatus suitable to allow the sweeper to travel on a road surface including debris, a plurality of cleaning members arranged at fixed points located in different portions of the sweeper and suitable for cleaning within predetermined cleaning areas, and a selector operatively connected to the cleaning members, suitable for scanning the road surface and locating the debris so as to select and exclusively operate the cleaning members, the cleaning area of which covers the debris during the movement of the sweeper.

The present disclosure relates generally to a roadway debris clearing system that can be concealed within, or behind, a standard push bumper of a safety patrol vehicle. The roadway debris clearing system may include a debris clearing device that is disposed between the vehicle motor and the front bumper. The debris clearing device can be deployed from a retracted position to an extended position where the device is capable of pushing debris from a roadway. The debris clearing device, when in the retracted position, may be concealed behind the front bumper of the vehicle. The roadway debris clearing system includes a camera system to observe an area in front of the vehicle as well as under the front bumper while clearing debris using the debris clearing device.

A hygienic self-cleaning animal dropping collection and transfer device to collect and transfer an animal's droppings includes a support assembly having a support member with a handle on one end. A collection assembly is mounted to a lower portion of the support member and has a collection tray dimensioned to be positioned under a rear portion of an animal to collect the animal's droppings thereon. A cover assembly includes a cover member which is disposable between an open collection orientation and a closed transfer orientation relative to the collection assembly. A dispenser assembly includes a reservoir containing an amount of a cleaning fluid mounted to a portion of the support assembly, the dispenser assembly having a dispenser nozzle operable to dispense an amount of the cleaning fluid onto the collection tray. An illumination assembly may be mounted to a portion of the device for use at night.

There is provided a sweeping blade device comprising: a blade main portion including a rigid sweeping blade having convexly curved and opposed lateral edges. The sweeping blade device can be mounted to a blade support, which in turn is securable to a vehicle to form a sweeping blade assembly configured to be attached to a plow blade of the vehicle for sweeping debris on a ground surface.

A mobile vehicle mounted dry filtration system to support a grinder system used for removal of markings, creating rumble strips, or the like. Blowers create a vacuum for drawing debris and dust from the grinder system into a debris bin. Large debris is removed from the vacuum draw and remains in the bin for later disposal. Small particles and dust are drawn into parallel positioned filter cyclones that have a cyclonic separation followed by flexible and inexpensive bag filters. The flexible filters are cleaned using vibrating diaphragms mounted on the top of the filter cyclones subject to a reverse air flow by the blowers using slide valves. A polishing tank containing water receives the exhaust from the filter cyclones for removal of airborne particles and sound suppression.

A pick-up broom attachment for use with a work vehicle that includes a hood assembly, a bucket portion, and a water spray bar. The hood assembly includes a housing, a rotatable brush of generally cylindrical profile mounted for rotation, and a drive motor coupled to the housing for rotating the rotatable brush. The bucket portion is in coupled engagement behind and with the hood assembly and includes: a collection bin defined by a bottom bucket panel, a pair of side bucket panel members, and a rear bucket wall; an internal water tank located in a cavity in the bucket portion located rearward of the rear bucket wall; and a back panel located rearward of the internal water tank that includes implement interface members for connecting with a work vehicle. The water spray bar is mounted to the housing of the hood for delivering water in front of the hood assembly.

A compressed fluid pet waste cleanup apparatus for cleaning up pet waste includes a handle coupled to a shaft. A housing is coupled to the shaft and has a housing bottom side with a receiving aperture and a release aperture extending through to a housing inside. A separator is coupled to a housing bottom side between the receiving aperture and the release aperture. At least one compressed fluid tank is coupled to the shaft with a fluid tube is extending through the housing. At least one spray nozzle is coupled to the fluid tubes adjacent the receiving aperture of the housing. Each spray nozzle has a release valve. At least one trigger is coupled to the handle and is in operational communication with the release valve of one of the spray nozzles.

An aerodrome maintenance apparatus for monitoring runway and taxiway conditions and remotely reporting the status of the runway or taxiway. The apparatus comprises a drive unit operable to provide self-controlled rolling movement of the apparatus along a surface of a runway or taxiway of the aerodrome, a detection unit comprising one or more sensors configured to detect one or more parameters of the surface, and a communications unit comprising a transceiver arranged to transfer data derived from the detection unit from the apparatus to a remote server. The apparatus is arranged, in use, to move along the surface and transfer data representative of one or more parameters of the surface to a remote server.

The device includes two opposing lateral wings forming the right and left sides of the scraping device. Each wing includes an upper section through which the wing is attached to the central support about a vertical pivot axis, and a bottom section that is pivotable with respect to the upper section about a first horizontal pivot axis. Each wing can follow the unevenness of the roadway surface and may also include parts that can pivot backwards in case of a frontal impact with an obstacle. The scraping device offers a very high degree of versatility and can clean various kinds of roadway surfaces with an unprecedented level of efficiency.
