The rear portion of the cleaning handle body 9 is connected to the upper portion of the rear support body 7C.

[0017] Next, the support 7 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a front view of the dustpan according to the first embodiment.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 3, in both the one-side support 7A and the other-side support 7B, the angle of approaching the center of the dust box 6 is larger above the carrying handle 8 than below the carrying handle 8.

[0019] Next, how to use the dustpan 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining how to use the dustpan in the first embodiment.

[0020] As shown in Figure 4, the cleaner holds the cleaning handle 9 with one hand in a relaxed position without bending the waist, knees, or heels. In this position, the cleaner holds the cleaning tool 11 with the other hand. The cleaner moves the dust and dirt collected with the cleaning tool 11 toward the dust collection opening of the dust box 6. As a result, the collected dust and dirt is collected in the dust box 6.

[0021] Next, a method for transporting the dustpan 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a method for carrying the dustpan in the first embodiment.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 5, the cleaner grasps the carrying handle 8 with one hand in a relaxed position without bending the waist, knees, or heels. At this time, the bottom of the dust collection box 6 is raised above the floor. Here, the angle of the one-side support 7A when approaching the center of the dust collection box 6 is larger at the top of the carrying handle 8 than at the bottom of the carrying handle 8. Therefore, if the cleaner grasps the carrying handle 8 in a way that avoids contact with the dust collection box 6, the cleaner can avoid contact with the one-side support 7A. For example, even if the cleaner is wearing a waist bag A or the like around his or her waist, contact between the waist bag A or the like and the one-side support 7A can be avoided.

[0023] Similarly, when the cleaner grips the carrying handle 8 from the side of the other-side support body 7B, the cleaner can avoid contact with the other-side support body 7B. For example, even when the cleaner is wearing a waist bag A or the like around his or her waist, contact between the waist bag A or the like and the other-side support body 7B can be avoided.

[0024] According to the first embodiment described above, the dustpan 1 is provided with the carrying handle 8 and the cleaning handle 9. This provides excellent operability during cleaning and transportation.

[0025] Additionally, the carrying handle 8 and the cleaning handle 9 are connected to the one-side support 7A, the other-side support 7B, and the rear-side support 7C. Therefore, when the carrying handle 8 or the cleaning handle 9 is gripped during cleaning or transportation, the dustpan 1 can be held in a stable position.

[0026] Furthermore, in both the one-side support body 7A and the other-side support body 7B, the angle at which the handle approaches the center of the dust box 6 is larger above the carrying handle body 8 than below the carrying handle body 8. This makes it possible to prevent the cleaner from coming into contact with the one-side support body 7A or the other-side support body 7B when gripping the carrying handle body 8.

[0027] Note that the angle of only one of the one-side support body 7A and the other-side support body 7B when approaching the center of the dust collection box 6 may be larger above the carrying handle body 8 than below the carrying handle body 8. In this case, even if the cleaner grips the carrying handle body 8 from one side of the one-side support body 7A and the other-side support body 7B, the cleaner can avoid coming into contact with one of the one-side support body 7A and the other-side support body 7B.

[0028] The length of the tongs 3 may also be increased, in which case the cleaner can take the tongs 3 from the rear support 7C in a comfortable position without bending the waist, knees or heels.
