ABSTRACT:
An improved dusting device includes a handle, a bristle head, bristles extending transversely from the bristle head, and a cover for radially collapsing the bristles during shipping and retail display. The bristle head receives and supports a plurality of bristles, wherein each bristle includes a first end attached to the handle first end and a terminal second end for engaging particles. Each bristle is capable of retaining its original shape after prolonged deformation, as they are comprised of elongated strands of polyvinyl chloride. The invention includes a bristle cover adapted for use with the dust mop during storage, shipping and retail display. After assembly of the mop, the cover slides over the bristle head and bristles, and compresses the bristles into a compact formation, which reduces the effective shipping and storage volume of the device, and allows a greater number of dusting devices to be stored in a standard sized shipping box than prior art dusting devices. Transversely extending bristles engage an inner surface of the cover to releasably retain the cover over the bristles. The improved dusting device also includes a centering portion on the handle for aligning the cover with the bristles.
