Same way as above, two horizontal wheels could be provided one after another keeping left and right sides, each having coverage capacity of more than fifty percent of the cleaning path area and maldng them to rotate as the left one in anti clockwise and the right one in clockwise, to clean the dust in the road in full and pass it to both side edges at a time. (ref. Fig 1c)
Same way as above, machine as shown in Fig 1 D having attachment of water ( or any liquid) tank set at height on the frames and pipe line and holed pipe(s) in front for spraying of water before sweeping of the floor by horizontal wheel. Norrmaly it is a practice to spray water before sweeping to control flying of dusts.
Fig 1 e also is an embodiment as shown in the drawing.

As an embodiment, machine having attachment on the back side of the machine covering a small machine movement base wheel touching the floor, fit in frames, carrying above it a machine portion of cycle wheel like wheel attached with a leg pedal like part (and a sitting seat on its top ) having a shaft with fixed gears and chain connection to the other small and big vertical geared wheel{s) of the cross bar(s) ahead having bearings on its edge for forwarding and multiplying the vertical wheel force to the final front side gear(s) set above front frame connected to front base movement wheel and cleaning brushes attached horizontal wheel
having gear(s) on its bottom to its full round nearer to wheel edge, slantingly resting on a pivot having slanting provision set on the centre of a rod (above the front frame connected to movement base wheel) having fixed gear(s) set at one side of the rod and bearing based gear(s) set on the other side of rod and rotating on the resting grip of its bottom gear(s) on the rotation of the side fixed gear(s) getting the rotation force by chain links from the vertical rotation of the leg pedaled geared wheel set on the back side above the small movement base wheel.
when the vertical wheel force is passed on, for movement of the machine , a small cycle pedal like part is provided on the machine's back side top cross bar nearer and above the operator's sitting seat level and linked by chain to the bottom geared wheel fixed in the rod connected to back side machine movement base wheels.

When the operator does leg pedaling, horizontal wheel will rotate and do cleaning and sweeping. When he does the hand pedaling, the machine will move. When he does both hand and leg pedaling, the machine will move and do the cleaning/ sweeping, (ref. Fig 2)
As an embodiment, leg pedaling wheel can be connected with shaft having plurality of geared wheels of big and small with chain connection to both vertical force wheels and to the geared wheel attached to the bottom rod connected to back side base movement wheel. By this leg pedaling both machine movement and cleaning job will take place at a time, (ref.fig 2a)
Same way, hand pedaling geared wheel fit on the top of cross bar can have a set of big and small gears in one wheel, the bigger gear having chain connection to vertical force gears and the small gear having connection to the geared wheel attached to the bottom rod connected to movement base wheels. By this hand pedaling both machine movement and cleaning job will take place at a time. (ref. Fig 2 b, 2c , 2d)
As an embodiment, machine(s) made with rods connected to movement base wheels, handle bar with bearing on side frames, side frames and a bearings attached bottom cross shaft in the centre of front and back having leg pedal provision and sitting seat provision on top of it. The side frames will extend further on all four comers cross wise and gears will be fit on the ends over ball bearings. The centre cross shaft having pedal connection resting on side frames with bearings will have

extension with gears on the ends, one with bearings on the bottom and the other with out bearings on the bottom. Now the horizontal wheel having gear on its bottom to its full round will cover the entire machine keeping the sitting operator in the centre. When the operator starts leg pedaling, the cross shaft connected with the pedal rotates and the fixed gear on the one end starts moving the gear based horizontal wheel. All the gears will be on a perfect circle with slight slanting at one side. The horizontal wheel rotating on the resting grip at one fixed gear, rests on the other five bearing based gears and rotates. The attached brushes in the full round of horizontal wheel will clean / sweep the floor. For movement of the machine a small cycle pedal like hand pedaling part is provided on the machine's front top cross bar above the sitting seat level and linked by chain to the bottom front side gear set rod connected to front wheels. Turning of machines could be done by simple provisions, (ref. Fig 3)
Another embodiment is that the machine having wheel base with closer space in side frame settings. Hand pedaling geared wheel could be set on reasonable height for easy operation in standing position and could be linked by chain to the other vertical wheel(s) set on cross rods resting on bearings on side frames to make the wheel force to reach side gear{s) of final cross bar. The horizontal wheel will rotate as described earlier. By this machine, one can do cleaning by hand pedaling and the simultaneous maual hand push given to the hand pedal will make the machine to move. ( ref. Fig 4 )


Another embodiment is the system(s) and machine(s) as described above with pulling type operation instead of pushing type operation. The back side top cross bar will be linked on top by frames and the front end of top frame will be linked by chain or rod and it will be pulled by operator or motor vehicle. By this method, the operator will be in the front pulling the machine instead of pushing it from the back. Since the rotating horizontal wheel's cleaning sweeping is done behind the operator, he will be free undisturbed to certain extent from the dust when he is operating the machine. { ref. Fig 5a, 5b, ) . Another embodiments are shown in Fig 5C, 5d, 5e.
Another embodiment is a machine as described earlier with back side leg pedaling wheels, connected shaft, attached geared vertical wheel chain links etc and the hand pedal unit on the front top cross bar and its chain link to the base movement wheel all are same.
Horizontal wheels will be more in number. Bigger horizontal wheel in the front will be sweep bigger area and the following small, small horizontal wheels will pass on the dusts to the edge and the dust bag attached after the smallest wheel in the last, will collect the dust into it in support of attached sharp sloppy steel blades moving in floor. A horizontal wheel fit on the required height rotating on the opposite direction of other wheel could sweep the platform also at a time and the dust could be collected in the same dust bag described earlier { ref. Fig 6)

Another embodiment to this invention is a machine as descrioed with back side leg pedaling wheels, connected shaft, attached geared vertical wheel, vertical gear chain links etc and the hand pedal unit on the front top cross bar and its chain link to the base movement wheel all are same. Instead of big round horizontal wheels, brushes attached vertical rods will be attached with bevel gear setting and made to rotate by usual chain links and bevel gear. These brushes will rotate and clean the walls, any vertical portion and this system will be more useful for cleaning road side platform barriers, fences, very particularly road dividers ( medians) separating left and right side of the road, (ref fig 7)
As an embodiment, a tank could be provided on the machine with side wise frames and over head tanks and separate portions could be provided for cleaning material, soap and water and pipe lines could be attached to the brushes, so that the first second wheels could brush with cleaning chemical and the further brushes could do cleaning with soap and the subsequent brushes could do cleaning with water and the last brushes could be cotton or yam wrapped for wiping out water.
