Magnetic assembly for a vehicle

Abstract

A magnetic assembly having an elongated member wrapped in an aluminum coil and covered with an insulation spray is mounted to a vehicle and connected to a power source of the vehicle in order to pick up metal objects from a ground surface. The elongated member is mounted to the vehicle by a hitch that is adjustable and has a leveling system in order to raise and lower the elongated member as well keep the elongated member level in relation to the ground surface.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A magnetic assembly, comprising:
 an elongated member wrapped in an aluminum coil and covered with an insulation spray;   the elongated member mounted to a vehicle and the aluminum coil connected to a power source of the vehicle; and   wherein the aluminum coil wrapped elongated member is configured to attract metal objects from a ground surface when the power source is activated.   
     
     
         2 . The magnetic assembly of  claim 1  further comprising a housing having end walls and side walls that encase the elongated member. 
     
     
         3 . The magnetic assembly of  claim 1  wherein the elongated member is connected to the vehicle with an adjustable hitch having a levelling system. 
     
     
         4 . The magnetic assembly of  claim 1  wherein the elongated member is connected to the vehicle by a hitch having a tongue connected to an axel that is supported by wheels. 
     
     
         5 . The magnetic assembly of  claim 4  wherein the elongated member is connected to the axel by a first pair of brackets that are pivotally connected to the axel. 
     
     
         6 . The magnetic assembly of  claim 5  wherein a handle is attached to a top of the elongated member. 
     
     
         7 . The magnetic assembly of  claim 4  wherein a plastic member is connected to the axel by a second pair of brackets and is positioned underneath the elongated member. 
     
     
         8 . The magnetic assembly of  claim 1  wherein spring loaded tines are connected to and extend forwardly of the elongated member. 
     
     
         9 . The magnetic assembly of  claim 1  wherein hard bristles are connected to and positioned forwardly of the elongated member.
