A sweeping machine has a body (10), wheels (12) supporting the body (10), and a sweeping brush (14) which is carried by the body (10) and driven by a motor mounted on the sweeping machine. There is a debris hopper (22) positioned adjacent the brush (14) to receive debris moved by the brush (14) toward the hopper (22). The hopper (22) has a bottom (28), a front wall (30), and side walls (32), and there is a shelf (52) in the hopper (22) spaced above the bottom (28) and attached to at least one of the walls (32). Debris moved by the brush (14) toward the hopper (22) is deposited on both the hopper bottom (28) and the hopper shelf (52). <IMAGE> |
