Specifically, the present invention provides a broom having a shaft with an interior channel for dispensing a quantity of a liquid onto a plurality of bristles to reduce the number of atmospheric particulates generated by sweeping with a broom.
- When dust, dirt, crumbs and other debris are scattered on a floor, people typically use a broom to sweep it up and throw it away. Standard sweeping relocates and organizes floor debris but also irritates smaller particulates of dust and debris into the immediate atmosphere, where these smaller particulates of dust and debris may be inhaled by the person using the broom or other people in the vicinity. To prevent dust and other particulates from getting kicked-up into the immediate atmosphere, some people dip brooms in water.
- Several devices have been proposed to reduce the quantity of atmospheric particulates produced by sweeping a floor that utilize the application of moisture to a broom. One device provides a broom that has a hose attached to the handle. In this device, liquid is run through the hose and dispensed through a nozzle onto the broom's bristles or onto a surface to be swept. Some devices that utilize this hose arrangement also include control switches to allow the user to regulate the dispensation of liquid through the nozzle. These known devices do not provide an integrated channel system to disperse the liquid onto the broom bristles, however, thereby providing all the conveniences of a broom shaft without the imposition of external hoses.
- In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of floor debris removal tools now present in the known art, the present invention provides a floor debris removal tool wherein the same can be utilized for providing convenience for the user when minimizing the aggregation of dust and particulates when sweeping. The present system comprises a broom having a broom head affixed to a shaft. On an end opposite the broom head, a reservoir is affixed to the shaft. The reservoir fluidly communicates with a channel running through the shaft. The reservoir is configured to release a quantity of liquid into the channel when squeezed. A nozzle is disposed on the broom head, which is enclosed by a plurality of bristles also affixed to the broom head. The quantity of liquid that is released from the reservoir is adapted to move through the channel and out of the nozzle, moistening the plurality of bristles.
- One object of the present invention is to provide a floor debris removal apparatus that reduces the number of particulates swept into the air, thereby minimizing pulmonary irritation when sweeping a floor.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide interior dispersion means to lessen the burden of external hoses and other water sources used to provide moisture to a plurality of bristles of the floor debris removal apparatus.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a floor debris removal apparatus with moisture dispersion means that has a plurality of nozzles to disperse a liquid evenly across a plurality of bristles.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a moisture dispersion means for a floor debris removal apparatus that can be controlled by a user while sweeping with the floor debris removal apparatus.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a floor debris removal apparatus with a telescoping shaft.
- Although the characteristic features of this invention will be particularly pointed out in the claims, the invention itself and manner in which it may be made and used may be better understood after a review of the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like numeral annotations are provided throughout.
