Dustpan having device for removing dust

Abstract

A dustpan includes a casing pivotally attached to a housing, and rotatable relative to the housing between an upward folding position and a downward working position. The casing includes a chamber for receiving dirt, and defined by an upper panel, a bottom panel, and two side panels, and includes a front opening, and one or more projections extended forwardly from the upper panel of the casing, and extended into the front opening of the casing, for removing hairy members or fibers or threads or dirt from the broom, and thus for preventing the users' hands from being contacted with the brush member of the broom and the dirt or the hairy members.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a dustpan, and more particularly to a dustpan having a structure or device for removing dust or for facilitating the dust removing from brooms. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Typical dustpans comprise a pan member having a chamber and an opening formed therein for receiving dust into the pan member. [0005] However, while sweeping floor with brooms, a number of hairy members or fibers or threads or the like may be attached onto the brooms, and may not be easily disengaged from the brooms. [0006] The users may have to use one of their hands to hold the broom, and the other hand to remove or to disengage the hairy members or the fibers or the threads or the like from the brooms, and thus may have their hands dirtied by the dust or the hairy members or the fibers or the threads or the like. [0007] The present invention has arisen to mitigate and / or obviate the afore-descri...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a dustpan including a structure or device for removing dust or for facilitating the dust removing from the brooms without hand contacting with the dust.

[0009] In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a dustpan comprising a housing, and a casing pivotally attached to the housing, and rotatable relative to the housing between an upward folding position and a downward working position. The casing includes a chamber formed therein for receiving dirt, and defined by an upper panel, a bottom panel, and two side panels, and includes a front opening formed therein, and includes at least one projection extended forwardly from the upper panel of the casing, and extended into the front opening of the casing, for dust removing purposes, such as for removing the hairy members or the fibers or the threads or the like from the broom, and thus for preventing the users' hands from being contacted with the brush member of the broom and the dirt or the hairy members or the fibers or the threads or the like.

Problems solved by technology

However, while sweeping floor with brooms, a number of hairy members or fibers or threads or the like may be attached onto the brooms, and may not be easily disengaged from the brooms.

The users may have to use one of their hands to hold the broom, and the other hand to remove or to disengage the hairy members or the fibers or the threads or the like from the brooms, and thus may have their hands dirtied by the dust or the hairy members or the fibers or the threads or the like.
