ABSTRACT:
The device includes a dust chute releasably connected by flexible resilient fingers to the upper end of an upstanding open topped wastebasket, and vertically depending down the outside thereof. The chute includes upper and lower vertically telescoping walls, the upper wall bearing the fingers and the lower wall bearing a downwardly and outwardly sloped inclined ramp. The telescoping walls and ramp bear side rims or wings angled outwardly to prevent loss of dust and debris from the chute. The vertically telescoping walls may also telescope laterally in order to adjustably space the rims to just clear the sides of a sweeping broom. The inclined ramp can be hinged to the lower telescoping wall to control the slope of the ramp. A splash guard can be hinged to the upper end of the upper telescoping wall by spaced legs connected to an open bottomed cover for movement between a position overlying and a position away from the upper end of the wastebasket. The device is simple, inexpensive and adaptable to curve walled and flat walled wastebaskets of various heights.
