Claim 0:
1. A sweeper assembly comprising:
a manifold having a box section and a brush cap section;
a cavity inside of the box section, with the brush cap section not positioned in the cavity;
one or more magnets positioned within the cavity for providing a magnetic force to pick up one or more ferromagnetic objects from a surface to be cleaned when the box section is positioned over the ferromagnetic objects at an effective distance for the magnetic force;
one or more wheels attached to the manifold, with at least one wheel being positioned to contact the surface when the box section is positioned to pick up the ferromagnetic objects from the surface;
a shield that extends parallel to the cavity and which can be positioned between the surface and the box section when the at least one wheel is in contact with the surface, the shield adapted for holding the ferromagnetic objects in place after they are picked up by the magnetic force; and
a brush for sweeping debris from the surface, the brush comprising a plurality of bristles attached to the brush cap section, the brush oriented so that when the brush is touching the surface, none of the one or more wheels are touching the surface,
whereby the brush can sweep debris from the surface when the wheels are not touching the surface and the magnets can cause the ferromagnetic items to be picked up from the surface when at least one of the wheels is touching the surface, with the ferromagnetic items being held against the shield after they are picked up.
