Definitions
- the present invention relates to a utensil comprising a broom, a trash can and a shovel, this trash can and this shovel being fixed on the handle of the broom, so as to combine these three elements in a single utensil.
- the operator is also in the need to constantly move the shovel and the trash, which requires him efforts which completion does not provide any noticeable improvement in the quality or speed of the scan.
- the utensil according to the invention comprising a removable shovel and a dustbin fixed on a broom handle, is such that said dustbin is provided with reversible fixing means, able to be removable, with respect to the handle and block said bin at any determined height above the brush of the broom itself to allow use thereof with said shovel and said bin attached to its handle.
- the operator staying in the same location then removes the shovel from the broom handle and places it on the ground to push the trash with the same broom: the operator then only has to reverse said shovel in the box acting as a trash can and fixed on the broom handle.
- the bin can then be emptied by any means as described below or removed from the handle since it is fixed to the latter by any reversible fixing means.
- the fixing means which are provided with the bin and / or the shovel are clips, and according to other embodiments of the invention, the means are collars or rings or any associated screw device.
- the bin has a capacity of one to five liters and can even be limited to two liters, to be fairly compact and compact, facilitating the handling of the broom, such as of rectangular section, the greatest length of which is disposed against the handle of the broom must be appreciably greater than the width of the shovel to easily transfer the trash.
- this larger opening dimension of the bin is preferably less than the width of the broom itself, it must be able to be effective in sweeping large areas, unlike those used in so-called "airport shovel” devices such as described in US Pat. No. 5,379,481 mentioned above and which are more like brushes.
- the trash can further include means for disposing of its contents, such as in particular a door, a slide, a valve or any other evacuation system known elsewhere and not requiring to separate the trash from the handle to empty it.
- the bin contains tongues capable of reversibly blocking a shovel; similarly, it can include notches which hold it reversibly on the trash can; the shovel can also be fixed directly to the independent handle of the trash can, for example, embodiments as described in patent applications FR 2 594 902 and FR 2 609 3 12 by Gentlemen
- Said support means is capable of keeping the box of the bin upright and integral with the handle, the latter being easily removable from this support; in this case said bin does not need to have a means of disposing of its contents since it can be separated from its support to be emptied or replaced.
- Said trash can also be constituted by a tilting box of the type of "airport shovels" mentioned above and as described in US Pat. No. 5,379,481: the handle thereof of any variable length and compatible with that of the broom itself , therefore preferably shorter avoids the operator to bend down to the ground to pick up the trash as in the case of a traditional shovel such as that shown in the attached figures; this handle can then be directly fixed in a reversible manner on that of the broom, said trash can then itself acting as a shovel and being arranged according to the present invention.
- Another object of the invention is to propose the use for household or industrial purposes of a utensil according to the invention for sweeping floors and / or stairs.
- Figure 1 is a schematic front view of an embodiment of the utensil according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a side view of the utensil shown in Figure 1 but without its shovel.
- Figure 3 shows a close-up profile view of the bin shown in Figure 2 removably attached and combined with an intermediate fixing support mounted reversibly on the handle of the utensil.
- FIG. 4 represents a front view of an example excavator.
- 5 shows a side view of the shovel of Figure 4.
- Figure 6 shows a top view of an example of a bin equipped with tabs to retain the shovel.
- Figure 1 a utensil according to the invention, comprising a handle 1, a trash can 2 and a shovel 3.
- a brush 4 is fixed to the end of the handle 1, thus forming a broom of a width large enough to perform an effective sweep over large areas, said width of the broom is preferably greater than the largest dimension of the opening of the trash bin 2 shown fixed on the handle 1 broom above said brush so that the operator has an efficient broom and can at any time control the movements thereof and the effectiveness of its sweeping.
- the utensil is a broom-dustpan-bin: it comprises a broom, on which is fixed reversibly a dustbin 2 and / or a shovel 3. It is thus particularly visible on Figure 1 that the utensil according to the invention brings together all the elements necessary for different scanning operations.
- the utensil according to the invention comprises, at the end opposite to that of the brush 4, a hooking tip 5 fixed on the handle.
- This tip allows to store the utensil according to the invention by hanging it on a nail, in a storage room, and thus considerably reduce the size.
- the utensil according to the invention requires only one storage location for the three elements which compose it, which makes it possible to make available at any time and simultaneously the three elements necessary for scanning, and therefore to intervene quickly. This need rapid intervention is particularly important in public places, such as in supermarkets to limit damage and especially the risk of accidents. Furthermore, the utensil according to the invention considerably reduces the bulk caused by a broom, a shovel and a dustbin, taken separately.
- the term "trash can” is defined as any container, whatever its shape or size, capable of collecting the elements collected using the broom, namely dust and / or lightly bulky detritus.
- the utensil according to the invention has the particularity of gathering together on its handle 1, the trash 2 and the shovel 3: in fact, the trash 2 and the shovel 3 can both be provided with reversible fixing means 6 and be fixed reversibly on the handle of the utensil.
- the shovel is fixed to the handle by means of a clip, and further comprises notches 8 which retain it, reversibly, on the trash can.
- the fixing means can be clips 7, or collars or rings 6.
- the trash and the shovel can both be fixed to the handle by clips 7, but it is also possible that the shovel is fixed to the handle by a clip and that the trash can is fixed to the handle by another fixing means, such as in particular a collar or a ring 6.
- the device according to which the means for fixing the shovel and the dustbin are located on the handle of the utensil must be considered as a device equivalent to that of the invention.
- the fixing means according to the invention are such that they allow the dustbin and / or the shovel to slide along the handle and to be blocked at a determined height without this one resting or resting on the upper part of the brush 4 of the broom: thus , the height of the trash can and / or the shovel is adjustable by the operator according to its size, and the weight represented by the trash and / or the shovel will not be likely to affect the ease or the quality of the scan.
- the bin 2 has a capacity of one to two liters. This capacity was chosen because it makes it possible to place on the broom a trash can 2 which takes up little space, and which makes it possible to sweep more than 200 m2 of surface. Furthermore, one of the characteristics of the utensil according to the invention is that it is made of particularly light materials.
- the bin comprises means for evacuating its contents, such as in particular a door, a slide or a valve or any other suitable means.
- the bin contains tongues 9 capable of reversibly blocking a shovel. In this case, it is entirely possible that the shovel
- the trash 2 can be of any suitable material, but for obvious reasons of cost, it will most often be made of plastic or of polymer resin.
- the tongues are also made of plastic or of polymer resin and are produced at the same time as the molding of the bin.
- the tongues 9 are either inside the trash, which is preferred, or outside the trash.
- these tabs 9 are located at the upper half of the trash 2, and the shovel 3 thus retained does not touch the bottom of the trash.
- the bin 2 is composed of a belt 10 and a box 1 1.
- the belt is provided with the fixing means 6 or 7 mentioned above, and is therefore intended to be fixed on the handle 1 of the utensil. Its second function is to retain a box 1 1 intended to receive detritus or dust.
- This embodiment is particularly practical, since it allows the box 10 to be emptied quickly and simply, and requires little manipulation.
- the diameter of the lower part of the belt 10 is very slightly less than the diameter of the middle of the box 11, so that the box 11 is held in the vertical position in the middle without being trapped in the belt 10.
- the use of the utensil according to the invention is recommended for cleaning floors and / or stairs. It is particularly useful for cleaning spiral staircases.
- the utensil according to the invention in fact makes it possible to avoid the heaping of dust, and therefore to reduce their dispersion or scattering by air currents or by the unfortunate passage of third parties, as indicated in the introduction, it allows also to avoid the operator going up the stairs to pick up the shovel and the trash can placed on the ground in order to complete the sweeping phase, thus saving time, fatigue, and above all avoiding personal accidents particularly serious, by falls in the staircases of people stumbling on the shovel and the trash placed on the ground.
- Another advantage of the invention is to reduce the number of times the operator must bend down by 30%: this saving in effort allows him to considerably reduce his fatigue during the operation.
