A removable cover for my earlier patented magnetic cleaning devices, the cover comprising a plurality of hollow pockets interconnected at their rear, open ends by thin webs which permit longitudinal flexiblity. The interconnected pockets are configured and positioned to receive the projecting magnet pockets of a magnetic cleaning device attached to a vacuum cleaner or a sweeper in a snug, friction fit engagement, thereby securing the cover releasably onto the magnetic cleaning device. When the magnetic cleaning device passes over a floor surface and picks up magnetically attracted objects, the magnetic attraction holds the magnetically attracted objects firmly against the overlying cover. The cover is then simply pulled off of the magnetic cleaning device and the metallic objects, now released from the magnetic attraction of the cleaning device, simply fall away from the cover into a waste receptacle, or alternatively as in this embodiment, into the confines of a forwardly projecting tray provided about the periphery of the cover adjacent its rear, open end. The cover is then ready to be reinstalled onto the magnetic cleaning device for another use.

A removable cleaning cover for magnetic cleaning devices of the type having a magnet-containing means, the cover comprising: (a) a longitudinally flexible, elongated housing formed of non-magnetic material, (b) the elongated housing incorporating at least one longitudinally elongated, forwardly projecting pocket having a hollow interior, the pocket being defined by a front end wall, lateral side walls, longitudinal end walls, and an open rear end, (c) the pocket extending along the length of the housing and configured to removably receive, within the confines of its hollow interior, the magnet-containing means of the magnetic cleaning device in a friction fit for securing the housing releasably onto the magnetic cleaning device, and (d) a tray means on at least one of said lateral side walls adjacent the open rear end of the pocket and extending forwardly towards said front end wall and being spaced from said one lateral side wall of the pocket thereby forming a debris-catching space therebetween, the front end wall of the pocket being spaced forwardly of the open rear end and beyond the tray means.
