ABSTRACT:
A dust pan assembly has a bracket coupled to the rear of the dust pan scoop for pivotally receiving an elongated handle, wherein the handle can pivot and lock between at least two positions. In a first position the handle and scoop are inclined, for gathering debris. In a second position the handle and scoop are extended for shovel-like disposal of debris gathered therein and for optimal-storage and display. The dust pan assembly can have clamping means on one or both of the handle and the bracket for receiving a broom, whereby the dust pan assembly and the broom for use therewith are attached as an integral unit. The dust pan handle resides over the pan when locked in the retracted position, preferably over the center of, gravity, whereby when suspended by the gripping portion, the bottom of the scoop seeks a horizontal plane. Preferably, the handle is bent such that the gripping portion occupies a vertical line coinciding with the center of gravity, which arrangement has the further advantage of tilting the pan up on its leading edge when the assembly is locked in the extended position and rested on a surface.
