The very first street sweeping machine was patented in 1849 by its inventor, C.S. Bishop. For a long time, street sweepers were just rotating disks covered with wire bristles. These rotating disks served as mechanical brooms that swept the dirt on the streets. A black man from Newark, New Jersey, Charles B. Brooks, invented the U.S.' first self-propelled street sweeper truck. Brooks' patent was approved on March 17th, 1896; his application for the patent had been filed on April 20, 1895. His street sweeper had a truck-like frame mounted on axles supported by wheels.
Murphy noticed âpoor road conditionsâ in his hometown, as the streets were covered in dust, mud, and disease-producing bacteria. He developed his first mechanized street sweeper in 1914 for the Elgin Sweeper Co. and sold it to the city of Boise, Idaho. It was the first self-propelled mechanical sweeper put to use. It had three wheels (two in the front, one in the back) and was able to maneuver around horses, carriages and automobiles.
