Abstract
A sweeper magnet for attracting magnetic debris from a pick-up surface includes a base assembly and a magnet having a first surface supported by the base assembly and a second surface. A cover extends over the magnet second surface and includes a projection having a projection height extending away from the magnet. The projection automatically creates a space distance of at least the projection height between the pick-up surface and at least a portion of the cover to provide clearance for attracting the magnetic debris.

A sweeper magnet for attracting magnetic debris from a pick-up surface, the sweeper magnet comprising:
- a base assembly;
- a magnet having a first surface supported by the base assembly and a second surface;
- and
- a unitary cover extending over at least a portion of the magnet second surface, the cover including a projection having a projection height extending away from the magnet;
- wherein the projection automatically creates a space distance of at least the projection height between the pick-up surface and at least a portion of the cover to provide clearance for attracting the magnetic debris.
A sweeper magnet for attracting magnetic debris from a pick-up surface, the sweeper magnet comprising:
- a base assembly including a base having a cylindrical side wall depending from a top wall to define a cup recess, and a coupling pivotably attached to the base;
- a mounting cup sized for insertion into the base cup recess and attached to the base, the mounting cup defining a magnet recess;
- an annular magnet sized for insertion into the mounting cup magnet recess, the magnet including a first surface attached to the mounting cup and a second surface;
- and
- a unitary cover sized to extend over at least a portion of the magnet second surface, the cover including a projection having a projection height extending away from the magnet;
- wherein the projection automatically creates a space distance of at least the projection height between the pick-up surface and at least a portion of the cover to provide clearance for attracting the magnetic debris.
