THE CLAIMS DEFINING THE INVENTION ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. A head for a debris collector comprising:
a mounting member configured to be pivotably connected to a handle such that the mounting member is pivotal about at least one pivot axis that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the handle; and
a plurality of adhesive layers removably attached to the mounting member for collecting debris, wherein the adhesive layers are removable from the mounting member one layer at a time.
2 A head according to claim 1, wherein the mounting member comprises a resilient, compressible portion to which the plurality of adhesive layers attaches.
3. A head according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the mounting member has a face to which the plurality of adhesive sheets attach, each adhesive sheet being adapted to collect debris from a substantially planar surface when the mounting member is pressed against said surface.
4. A head according to claim 3, wherein the face of the mounting member to which the plurality of adhesive layers attaches is flat.
3 A head according to claim 3, wherein the face to which the plurality of adhesive layers attaches is an undulating surface.
6. A head according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the plurality of adhesive layers is arranged in a stack.
7. A head according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein each of the adhesive layers comprises a tab extending from an edge thereof.
8. A head according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein each adhesive layer
of the plurality of adhesive layers is identical to one another.
9. A head according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein a connection between the mounting member and the handle comprises two pivot axes.
10. A head according to claim 9, wherein the connection between the mounting member and the handle comprises three pivot axes.
11. Ahead according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the mounting member is connectible to the handle by means of a clevis.
12. A head according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein each adhesive layer of the plurality of adhesive layers comprises a sheet of paper with adhesive applied to one side thereof.
13. Ahead according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the mounting member is formed through an additive manufacturing process.
14. A debris collector comprising:
a head according to any one of the preceding claims; and
a handle pivotably connected to the head.
15. A debris collector comprising:
a handle; and
a head pivotably connected to the handle and having a surface to which a plurality of adhesive sheets forming a stack of adhesive sheets is attachable.
16. A debris collector according to claim 14 or 15, wherein the head is releasably connected to the handle.
17. A debris collector according to any one of claims 14 to 16, wherein the head is connectible to the handle through a sliding or twisting action.
18. A debris collector according to any one of claims 14 to 17, wherein the handle is telescopically extendable.
19. A debris collector according to any one of claims 14 to 18, wherein the handle has a length of at least one metre.
