Application February 1, 1932, Serial No. 592,525 `2 Claims. (c1. a5-2o) My invention relates to improvements in a dust pan; and the object of my improvements is, rst, to produce a dust pan of proper form and construction to provide for maximum eiciency in performing its functions as a dust pan. My improvement over manuiactured lies in the fact of its lightness and stability. The handle is rigidly attached to the metal body by a collar integral with the inclined back of the dust pan. The body, as is customary, may be madeof sheet metal and pressed into shape by a die or turned up and riveted to form a unified whole as exhibited by the drawing.

My invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawing.

Fig. I is a combination sectional end view.

Fig. II is a iront View.

Fig. III is a horizontal projection.

Fig. 1V shows blank metal from which pan may be cut or stamped.

Going into details of the drawing more explicitly:

1 indicates a light wooden handle or other material.

2 is a sleeve to receive the handle.

3 are screws to rigidly attach the handle.

4 is the turned edge of the dust pan.

5 indicates corrugation in metal of the pan.

6 indicates portion of blank metal to be rivshown in Fig. I.V '1 indicates metal rivets.

all other dust pans hereto-fore` 8 indicates sides of dust pan to be turned up from the flat metal.

Having fully described my invention and shown preferred forms or same, it will be understood changes may bev made in the construction and arrangement of parts by those `skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.

I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A dust pan formed from one piece oi sheet metal, comprising an inclined back and a dust receiving bottom, said back formed with an integrally extending collar xedly securing a handle, also comprising sides, each formed of over lapping ears bent up from the portions of the blank of sheet metal forming the back and bottom parts.

2. A dust pan formed from one piece of sheet metal, comprising` an inclined back and dust receiving` bottom, said back formed with an integrally extending collar iixedly securing a handle, said handle extending upwardly above the pan to provide a grasping portion, and downwardly below the bottom to provide a supporting foot, also comprising sides each formed of overlapping ears bent up from the portions of the vblank of sheet metal forming. the back and bottom part, the resulting dust pan having the equivalent of a three point support, a lowered center of gravity, producing a state of stability. n
