Abstract
A magnetic sweeper includes an elongated mounting frame, a pair of rotating wheels, and a universal caster. The frame includes a barrier wall disposed behind a guide wall so as to define an axial hole therebetween, and a bottom plate. At least one magnetically attracting wheel is disposed in the axial hole, and is sleeved fixedly on a rotating shaft. The rotating wheels are rotatable relative to the frame to rotate the magnetically attracting wheel within the axial hole so as to magnetically attract metal objects onto the guide wall of the frame. Thereafter, the objects move from the guide wall to the barrier wall, and drop from the barrier wall to the bottom plate.
