A powered floor sweeper comprises a foot assembly with a motor driven
primary agitator and a pair of edge agitators coupled to wheels such that
manual propulsion of the sweeper rotates the wheels and thereby the edge
agitators. The sweeper includes a slip clutch mechanism to protect the
primary agitator and the motor in case the agitator become jammed.
Additionally, the sweeper comprises a ramp assembly along an agitator
opening to help collect dirt and dust at the primary agitator. A dust bin
removably mounted in an open top dust bin recess is in communication with
the agitator opening and receives the dirt and dust collected at the
agitator opening. Furthermore, the sweeper comprises a handle assembly
having a detent mechanism that interacts with a pivot cradle in the foot
assembly to retain the handle assembly in a generally vertical position.
