Benefits of technology

[0006]The present invention is directed toward a brush and vacuum assembly and a method of its use. The assembly has a debris box selectively located within a debris box housing. At least one arm extends downwardly from a deck supporting at least one brush motor. At least one pin extends through the at least one arm for selective engagement with the debris box housing. The debris box is located in an easy to reach area that facilitates its removal and replacement.

Problems solved by technology

Vacuuming requires additional equipment, time and labor.
However, known equipment that combines a floor scrubber with a vacuum apparatus has proven to be difficult to use.
More particularly, known devices locate the debris bins, which are bins that collect dirt and debris from the vacuum apparatus, in very difficult to reach places.

The layout permits the debris box to be accessed from a side of the machine.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 276,221 filed on Sep. 9, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a brush and vacuum assembly and its method of use. More particularly, the invention relates to a brush and vacuum assembly and method of use with floor cleaning equipment, such as a floor scrubber.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The present invention is an improvement over known floor cleaning equipment, such as floor scrubbers. Most floor scrubbers have a water supply, a cleaning solution and outlets that apply the water and / or cleaning solution onto a floor. A set of rotary brushes works the cleaning solution into the floor to lift dirt and debris from the floor and scrub the floor clean. A squeegee and water suction device may be located at the rear of the machine to collect excess water and cleaning solution from the floor.[0004]Those ski...
