Description
Jan. 22,- 1952 J. PAPE DUSTPAN Filed July 74, 1950 IN VEN TOR. dawg/4Q? .f/257 Patented Jan. 22, 1952 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE DUSTPAN Josephine Pape, Reno, Nev.
Application July 7, 1950, Serial No. 172,519
1 Claim.
This invention relates to dust pans.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a dust pan which can be folded upwardly to form a scoop so as to permit the emptying of trash or dust from the dust pan into a trash can or kitchen waste receptacle with no danger of spilling any of the particles thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a foldable dust pan wherein the folding can be effected through the handles of the dust pan so that by a simple squeezing action of the` handle the folding is effected and wherein the hinge is of a type to prevent the particles from passing through the same.
Other objects of the present invention are to provide a foldable dust pan which is of simple construction, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to operate, compact, and efficient in operation.
For other objects and for a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. l is a perspective view of the dust pan embodying the features of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the dust pan with the parts folded and dispensing the contents thereof into a container.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken on line 3 3 of Fig. 1 and through the hinge 1n the bottom thereof.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged transverse fragmentary sectional View taken o n line 4-4 of Fig. 2 and through the pivot connection of the handles with one another.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view of the connection of the handle element with a dust pan part.
Referring now to the figures, I0 and Il represent the parts of the dust pan which are connected together along their inner edges by a molded rubber hinge I2 slotted along the opposite edges to receive the edges of the parts I0 and II and having a weakened hinge portion I3, Fig. 3, adapted to flex easily and to prevent the passage of the dust particles from the parts as the parts are folded in the manner as shown in Fig. 2.
The part IU has a side edge I4 and a raised back portion I5 adapted to overlap back portion I6 as the parts I0 and II are folded. The part I I also has a side edge, as indicated at Il.'
To fold or collapse the parts, the handle structure is formed of two parts or elements I8 and I 9 hinged together by a hinge pin 2 I. Thishinge pin passes through the elements which are of channel shape and Within the inner element is a coil spring 22 surrounding the pivot pin or rivet 2 I, whereby to provide a firm and steadfast pivot connection of the handle parts I8 and I9.
Each handle part has a connecting pin 23 pivotally -connected to it by a pivot pin 24. This pin part 23 is extended through struck portions 25 and 26 on the side flange of the dust pan part and is held against outward displacement by a boss 21 thereon engageable with the inner edges of the struck out strip portions 25 and 26.
It will be apparent that by squeezing the handle elements that easy manipulation of the parts IU and II can be effected to fold the same to assume the positions shown in Fig. 2 so that the dust can be easily emptied from the same. The parts can readily adapt themselves to a dust receiving receptacle 28 so that there is little chance of being lost over the edges of the re.
While various changes may be made in the detail construction, it shall be understood that such changes shall be Within the spirit and scope of the present invention as dened by the appended claim.
Having thus set forth and disclosed the nature of my invention, what is claimed is:
A foldable dust pan construction comprising dust pan parts and a hinge connecting the edges `of the dust pan parts together and raised back portions on the respective parts overlapping one another as the parts are folded one upon the other and means for eecting the folding of the parts, said hinge comprising a exible rubber strip having slots in the side edges thereof receiving respectively the edges of the dust pan parts and a weakened central portion to permit the parts to be folded and to prevent the escape of the dust particles from between the parts when they are folded.
JOSEPHINE PAPE.
