Description

[0001] When sweeping with a long-handled broom, for example in stairwell cleaning and especially in old buildings with spiral staircases, sweeping in the corners is always very problematic.

[0002] The broom is often too wide to reach the corners properly.

[0003] A long-handled cleaning utensil - a telescopic handle - with a broom and a narrow hand brush or paintbrush at the other end will remedy the situation.

[0004] The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem of integrating and attaching an easily accessible and grippy holder to long-handled cleaning utensils such as broom handles or other poles.

[0005] This problem is solved by the feature listed in claim 1.

[0006] This invention makes it possible for a cleaning person to reach corners much better in a simple and effective way by using the "double" broom, or broom, hand brush or paintbrush, without having to bend down with the hand brush.

[0007] Working with the “double” broom also often makes it easier to clean the gaps between the railing bars, as well as to quickly extend the telescopic pole when removing cobwebs with the smaller hand brush at the other end.

[0008] This means the whole thing doesn't require much effort, since the hand brush is much lighter than the broom.

[0009] The hand brush or brush is firmly fixed to the long-handled cleaning utensil, ensuring safe operation.

[0010] An advantageous embodiment of the invention is described in claim 2.

[0011] The long cleaning utensil then has a plug-in connection, a click mechanism, or a sheath, etc., to secure the hand brush or broom. A short double rod also incorporates a fixing mechanism, as well as holes in the broom handle or the short double rod itself, allowing for the insertion of materials such as threaded rods for fixation. This also includes the screwing on of additional cleaning utensils, whether with internal or external threads.

[0012] It is also possible to construct and fix an upward-sliding inner hand brush within the broom handle itself - the hollow space.

Claims

[1] Double broom for cleaning work characterized by That two cleaning utensils are attached to a broom handle, one at each end. For example, a broom and a hand brush. [2] double broom for cleaning work according to claim 1 characterized by , that any type of fixation of the second cleaning utensil will enable faster and more effective work.
