Abstract

A magnetic sweeper device is constructed with a structural integrating bracket which provides structural interconnection between one or more magnets, conveyance devices such as wheels, and a manipulation device such as a handle. The bracket includes a main section against which one or more magnets are attached by through-fit fasteners, conveyance attachment structures at distal ends for attachment of wheels, and a centrally disposed stem for attachment of a handle. The bracket also functions to direct the magnetic field downward by attachment of the magnet to a lower underside surface of the main section of the bracket. A magnet cover can also be attached to the magnet by the magnet supporting fasteners attached to the bracket.
