Charles Brooks - Patents 
http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blbrookspatents.htm

Charles Brooks invented a street sweeper truck and patented it on
March 17, 1896. Historically, prior to Brooks' truck, streets were
commonly cleaned by walking workers, picking up by hand or broom, or
by horse-drawn machines. Brooks' truck had brushes attached to the
front fender which pushed trash to the curb.

Brooks also patented an early paper punch, also called a ticket punch.
It was the first ticket punch to have a built-in receptacle on one of
the jars to collect the round pieces of waste paper and prevent
littering.
