Vacuum broom with replaceable bristles system and method

Abstract

A system includes a housing, a handle connected to the housing, a vacuum connected to the housing, and replaceable bristles selectively connected to the housing. In non-exclusive examples, the system includes a carrier fixed with the bristles. The carrier is selectively connected to the housing for use of the system in sweeping and vacuuming and is selectively disconnected to the housing for replacement with a new carrier and bristles on wear of the prior bristles.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system, comprising:
 a housing;   a handle connected to the housing;   a vacuum connected to the housing; and   replaceable bristles selectively connected to the housing.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a vacuum inlet communicatively connected to the vacuum;   a collector selectively connected to the housing and communicatively connected to the vacuum inlet; and   a vacuum outlet communicatively connected to the collector.   
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a switch connected to the vacuum;   a power source connected to the switch and the vacuum.   
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein activation of the switch to “on” powers on the vacuum for suction of refuse. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the switch is programmed to remain “on” for a set period of time after activation. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the switch is “off” unless activated. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the inlet is connected to the switch and activates the switch on contact to a surface. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a carrier connected to the bristles for selectively retaining the bristles to the housing;   a guide of the housing;   a track of the carrier, corresponding to the guide for connection and disconnection of the bristles from the housing.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 a latch of the carrier; and   a catch of the housing, the latch engages the catch to securely connect the carrier to the housing and disengages the catch when activated to disconnect the carrier from the housing.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the collector is removably connected to the housing, the vacuum inlet and the vacuum outlet. 
     
     
         11 . A method, comprising:
 vacuuming a refuse with a broom, the broom includes a vacuum;   replacing the bristles of the broom.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 collecting the refuse from vacuuming in a collector; and   emptying the collector.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein replacing includes disconnect a carrier from a housing of the broom, the carrier includes current bristles for replacing, and connecting another carrier to the housing, the other carrier includes new bristles. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 collecting the refuse from vacuuming in a collector; and   emptying the collector.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising:
 filtering a vacuum exhaust from vacuuming.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 selectively switching the vacuuming on and off.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the selectively switching turns on vacuuming when a vacuum inlet connected to the broom contacts a surface. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the selectively switching turns off vacuuming at a preset time after the selectively switching turns on the vacuuming. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the selectively switching turns off vacuuming at a preset time after the selectively switching turns on the vacuuming. 
     
     
         20 . A method of manufacture of a broom vacuum cleaner, comprising:
 providing a handle;   connecting a housing to the handle;   connecting a carrier to bristles;   selectively connecting the carrier to the carrier connected to bristles are replaceable to obtain new bristles of the broom vacuum cleaner; and   providing a vacuum to the housing.
