Title: Magnetic bumper and pickup device

Abstract: A bumper and magnetic pickup device for vacuum sweepers includes a strip of magnetized elastomer having magnetic poles aligned along its opposite longitudinal edges and supported on a metal strip. The metal strip is bent at each end to form brackets which mount on the front end of the sweeper, creating a space between the bumper and the sweeper for magnetizable objects to collect without entering the nozzle of the vacuum sweeper.
