  • Patent number: 3956111
    Abstract: A road cleaning device adapted to be mounted in front of a vehicle's front tires to pick up magnetically attractable road hazards such as nails, screws, tacks, bolts, miscellaneous scraps of metal and the like, the device comprising an electro-magnetic element for picking up the magnetically attractable road hazards. A support member secures the electro-magnetic element to a front part of the vehicle which is disposed in front of the front tires. A cushioning material is disposed between the electro-magnetic element and the front part of the vehicle for dampening the sound of the road hazards striking the electro-magnetic element as the road hazards are being picked up by the electro-magnetic element. The support member permits the electro-magnetic element to be horizontally adjusted to a left or right position relative to a respective front tire and to be vertically adjusted to an up or down position relative to the front part of the vehicle.
