ABSTRACT:
A dust pan assembly has a handle receiving bracket formed or attached at the rear of a dust pan scoop, pivotally receiving an elongated hollow handle. The handle can pivot between and lock at least at two angular positions of the handle and scoop, e.g., in line or perpendicular, via a projecting movable locking pin that engages between the handle and the bracket, in a selected aperture of the bracket. A manual actuator mechanism disengages the lock to allow pivoting of the handle, and has an actuator button projecting through the wall of the handle at an accessible position on the handle out of interference with the dust pan scoop. The locking pin and the actuator button can be simple lateral projections on a V-shaped spring in the handle, the actuator button preferably projecting longer than the locking pin to ensure disengagement and to positively position the locking pin relative to the bracket apertures. In one embodiment the pivot axis of the assembly is also defined by projections of the V-shaped spring.
