Claim 7:
8. A sweeper assembly comprising:
a one-piece manifold having a brush cap section, a curvilinear section and a box section, with the curvilinear section being positioned between the brush cap section and the box section;
a cavity inside of the box section, with the brush cap section not positioned in the cavity;
one or more magnets positioned in 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;
a brush attached to the brush cap section for sweeping debris from the surface, the brush being comprised of a plurality of bristles;
two or more wheels attached to the one-piece manifold, with at least two of the wheels being positioned to contact the surface when the box section is positioned to pick up the ferromagnetic objects from the surface and with none of the wheels contacting the surface when the brush is in contact with the surface; and
a shield attached to the manifold that extends parallel to the cavity and which can be positioned between the surface and the box section when the wheels are in contact with the surface, the shield adapted for holding the ferromagnetic objects against the shield after they are picked up by the magnetic force.
