Device for collecting dust, water or the like

A device for collecting liquid refuse, such as rainwater, standing water and the like gathered up from a surface of a floor comprising:

• a main body comprising a water collecting section having an opening, a rear portion of said main body providing a water pan;
• a shield plate disposed between a border of said water collecting section and said water pan;
• and a notched communicating hole defined at an upper portion of said shield plate so as to communicate said water collecting section with said water pan;
• and
• an elastic blade mounted adjacent said opening in the collecting device;
• a rotating shaft extending laterally along an underside of said blade at a rear portion thereof, said rotating shaft being pivotally supported between two opposing sidewalls, of said collecting device main body, said blade having a front edge which extends beyond said opening and which, in use, extends down to the floor and having a barrier which, in use, is firmly seated for an inside floor of the pan to provide a vertical wall to inhibit exiting of collected refuse when the device is rested on said floor.

A refuse collecting device comprising:

• a refuse collecting bin with a cavity having an opening for collecting liquid and/or solid refuse;
• and
• an elastic blade attached to said cavity through a rotatable shaft extending between two opposing sidewalls of said cavity;
• wherein said blade has a first end and a second end, said first end extending outwardly from said opening of said cavity in one direction, said second end extending in an opposite direction form said one direction and having an inclined portion at said second end, whereby one edge of said incline portion abuts an inner surface of said cavity to provide a barrier disposed at essentially a right angle to said inner surface to inhibit exiting of collected refuse when said elastic blade is rotated, in use, on said shaft.
