Benefits of technology

[0005]The Floor Check is a cleaning tool that is designed to be attached to the end of broom handles, the end opposite of a broom's brush. This device consists of a scraping blade affixed to a tube shaped body. This Tubular Body is considered to be the handle and main component of the Floor Check itself. The features of this Tubular Body allow the Floor Check to be easily and quickly attached to, and removed from, broom handles by the user; but while it is in use, the pressure applied to the scraping blade causes the Floor Check to remain in place. The Floor Check doubles the effectiveness of the broom as a cleaning tool, becau

Embodiment Construction

[0012]There are two different forms or Models of the Floor Check. One form is known as Model 1 or, the Slide-on Model; the other form is known as Model 2 or, the Snap-on Model. In the following section a numbered Parts List and Definitions is given for each model, followed by detailed instructions for producing that particular model. The number of a part in the parts list of a model matches the number of that part in the drawing of that model.

Parts List and Definitions for Model 1

[0013]1. Tubular Body—Regarded as the handle and central component of the Floor Check. For the proto-type, a 1 inch diameter, 5 inches long piece of PVC pipe was used to make this piece. To create the Tubular Body, specific features are cut out of the pipe. These features allow the device to slide on to almost any size broom handle, and remain in place.[0014]2. Ice Scraper—A basic, hand held, plastic ice scraper was used for the proto-type. The Ice Scraper is securely attached to the Tubular Body (1) so tha...

Abstract

The Floor Check is a scraping tool with special features that allow it to be quickly attached to the ends of broom handles, so it doubles the effectiveness of brooms as cleaning tools. Brooms are some of the most common cleaning tools in the world. They are highly effective at removing loose debris from surfaces; but when wet food and dirt dry and become stuck to the floor, it's necessary to get down and scrape them loose. When using the Floor Check however, it's not necessary to find another tool and get down on the floor; simply turn the broom around, remain standing, scrape off whatever is stuck, and then sweep it away. The Floor Check can be quickly removed from broom handles for use on raised surfaces also. Because of its usefulness, the Floor Check should become as common as the broom itself.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 959,329, filed Aug. 21, 2013.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not Applicable.REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING, A TABLE, OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING COMPACT DISK APPENDIX[0003]Not Applicable.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]The Floor Check was created to decrease the time and effort used when completing tasks associated with household clean-up. The need for such a device was discovered as the inventor's child was learning to feed themselves with a spoon, eating apple sauce and crisped rice cereal. Often the child would drop these foods on the floor. Sometimes these accidents would go unnoticed until after the food dried. The inventor would then find himself kneeling on the kitchen floor, scraping off dried applesauce and crisped rice with a butter knife, so he could sweep these things into a dust pan and begin mopping. One winter m...
