ABSTRACT:
A dustpan with a shovel section is configured in substantially the same shape as the broom head and is adapted, during non-use or storage, to overlay the head. The dustpan consists of a lower, open resilient tubular section which surrounds the handle of the broom. Shoulder members protruding from this section maintain the dustpan in position over the broom head. When the broom is to be used, the dustpan is simply slid up the handle towards the user, to a point where an outwardly extending rim at the lowermost end of the dustpan engages detents extending from a collar secured to the handle. The dustpan rim and collar detents interconnect, positioning and securing the dustpan on the handle to expose the bristles of the broom to allow sweeping. After sweeping is completed, the dustpan can be disengaged from the collar by sliding it down the handle, away from the user. It can then be removed from the broom to pick up dirt and debris. After the swept material is disposed of, the lower section of the dustpan can then be snapped back into the non-use/storage position around the handle, with the shovel section of the dustpan over the broom head.
