Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1964976A1] The machine has a cylindrical sweeping roller that is rotatable about longitudinal axis and is retained on jointly adjustable pivoted arms. A tunnel wall covers the front and the top region of the sweeping roller and defines the brush tunnel. The supporting element is coupled to the adjusting mechanism, such that the adjustment of the element changes the effective length of the cable control and correspondingly displaces the supporting element.
