Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a rust-proof aluminum outdoor broom with a wide, non-swiveling, bristle head. It is designed to be pushed forward, like a push broom. The handle is made of curved aluminum and has a strip of aluminum profile permanently attached to it. The bristle base can be easily slid out or into the aluminum profile to remove or replace the bristle head. The bristle head can be replaced with a new set of bristles or exchanged with other cleaning elements modified by the inventor to fit the aluminum profile."

Problems solved by technology

None of the prior art, however, provides a total system for a broom such as the one at hand.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]FIG. 1 shows a view of the separate broom components before assembly. An aluminum pole 2 serves as the broom handle, and is permanently affixed to the aluminum profile 1 at base 7. The aluminum profile 1 consists of a curved piece of aluminum with upper and lower lips between which bristle base 3 may be slid. This aluminum profile 1 is attached to aluminum pole 2 at the top center of the profile 1, with the aluminum pole 2 rising at an approximately 45 degree angle from the aluminum profile 1. The aluminum profile 1 essentially takes the place of what, in most brooms, would be the bristle base. Instead of attaching a handle directly to a bristle base, the aluminum profile allows a variety bases to be removed and replaced with ease.

[0017] Bristle base 3 is a flat piece of aluminum to which bristles 4 are affixed in order to create the bristle head 5. Once bristle base 3 has been slid into the aluminum profile 1, plastic lids 6 may be attached at either end of the aluminum prof...

Abstract

An aluminum outdoor broom that is rust-proof and may be left outdoors. The broom has a long aluminum pole with a curved piece of aluminum, known as the aluminum profile, permanently attached to one end. A bristle head consisting of a bristle base and bristles may be slid out of or into the aluminum profile. This makes exchange or replacement of the bristle head simple, and extends the life of the broom. Two plastic lids attach to either end of the aluminum profile once the bristle head is in place, and prevent the bristle head from sliding out of the aluminum profile.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates generally to brooms. In particular, the invention concerns a rust-proof aluminum outdoor broom with a wide, non-swiveling, and removable bristle head. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Brooms have long been accepted as a standard and necessary cleaning tool in almost every culture. Over the decades, brooms have evolved from simple bundles of twigs or dried grass lashed together with rope, to highly-evolved tools with a variety of components. Brooms are now made for various uses, both indoor and outdoor, and are made with movable or removable parts in high-tech materials. [0003] Perhaps the greatest innovation in the history of the broom was the addition of a long pole to be used as a handle. Such a handle prevents the user from having to stoop when sweeping. The handle must be attached securely to the broom head in a way that does not impede the motion of the broom head and bristles, and which allows for maximum flexibility. Seve...
