| 发明名称 | Magnetic pathway cleaning assemblies and vehicles incorporating the same | ||
| 摘要 | Embodiments of a magnetic pathway cleaning assembly include a magnet having a pathway facing surface and a magnet sweeper having a sweeping portion that is slidably engageable with the pathway facing surface of the magnet and a translation shaft having a first end opposite a second end. The first end is coupled to the sweeping portion and the second end terminates at a contact surface. A spring is engaged with the translation shaft such that the spring biases the magnet sweeper into a retracted position offset from the pathway facing surface of the magnet. Further, the magnet sweeper is actuatable such that a force applied to the contact surface of the translation shaft moves the sweeping portion along the pathway facing surface of the magnet. | ||
