A handle for a tool that provides multiple gripping locations for a user to grasp and manipulate the tool. The handle includes a main shaft, a first extension that extends outward from a first location along the main shaft, and a second extension that extends outward from a second location along the main shaft. The handle provides multiple gripping locations along one or more of the main shaft, the first extension, and the second extension.

The Scrape and Sweep Broom Handle Attachment is a scraping tool with special features that allow it to be quickly attached to the ends of broom and mop handles, so it doubles the effectiveness of brooms and mops as cleaning tools. Brooms and mops are some of the most commonly used cleaning tools in the world because they are highly effective at removing loose debris from floors; but when wet food and dirt dry and become stuck to floors, it often becomes necessary for people who are sweeping or mopping those floors to stop, then find other tools and get down on their hands and knees to scrape the stuck-on food and dirt loose, and then resume sweeping or mopping. When a person has a Scrape and Sweep Broom Handle Attachment on the end of their broom or mop handle though, it's not necessary for them to find another tool and get down on the floor; that person may simply turn their broom or mop around, remain standing, scrape off whatever is stuck, and then sweep or mop it away. The Scrape and Sweep Broom Handle Attachment can be quickly and easily removed from broom and mop handles to be used on raised surfaces also, such as countertops, tables, walls and windows. Because the Scrape and Sweep Broom Handle Attachment enables people to clean up faster and with less effort than when using a broom, soapy rag, sponge, or mop alone, and because it helps people maintain a greater degree of comfort while cleaning floors, it is likely to become as commonly used as brooms and mops themselves.

A bodily fluid cleanup system is configured to be assembled, employed and subsequently disposed of to safely remove biohazardous material from an area. The system includes a disposable receptacle and a plurality of disposable modular components for assembling a plurality of disposable modular implements, all of which may be enclosed within a single package. The modular implements may include, but are not limited to, a wiper blade, a broom, a dustpan and/or a mop. The receptacle transitions between an open position and a closed position and in an embodiment includes a base, an integral cover, a molded bottom edge insert and a molded mounting member which all form an enclosure that functions to house various materials and the implements in a pre-usage configuration and to retain biohazardous material during a cleanup process.

A waste-receiving device for use with a sweeping device, the waste-receiving device having a body comprising a chamber configured to receive waste therein and an opening coupled to the chamber, wherein the opening permits the sweeping device to enter the chamber. The device also includes a panel disposed at least partially within the chamber and having an upper edge with a plurality of teeth coupled to the upper edge of the panel that are configured to engage a sweeping device to facilitate separating waste from a cleaning component of the sweeping device.

A multi-section quick assembly handle includes a multiple tubular members made of a permanently formable material having a threaded and friction fit connection.

A floor care tool set includes generally complementary floor care tools, such as a broom and a receptacle for receiving items moved by the broom. To hold the tools together, such as when not in use, a clip is used to at least temporarily connect handles of the tools to one another. The clip includes an element such as a magnet that attracts the handle of one of the tools to hold the tool in place at the magnet. The clip may be attached to the other tool in a more permanent, but still removable, manner. The tools may also include grip portions that interact with one another to provide another location of connection. The clip can also be attached to a wall mount or generally inverted to be hung on a surface.

A temporary or permanent attachment device to a broom, mop, or other such cleaning device, or other stick/rod, which needs to be propped upright temporarily when not in use or permanently during storage. The attachment provides the ability for the stick to stand freely, independent of leaning against a wall, furniture, door or other to prevent the stick from falling to the ground or against other objects, or people or pets or anything else on its way down. The attachment collapses against the stick. It is basically a case, springs, straight extending tines and release levers which are releasably attached to the extended handle of the tool.

A brushing device comprises a handle 1 with a brush head 2 at its lower, in use, end. The carrier carries a broom brush 3, which is extensible for sweeping dust, and a rotating brush 4 for picking up swept dust for delivery to a dust receptacle 47. The carrier 2 is a three piece injection moulding, comprised of a front cover 5, a back cover 6 and a central moulding 7. The covers are connected to the central moulding and the each other by conveniently positioned screws in integrally moulded screw bosses that do not need to be separately described, but at least some of which can be seen on the drawings. The central moulding has an upwardly open void 8 between a pair of upwardly extend, converging fingers 9, which engage in slots 10 in a tubular part 11 of a broom brush extender 12.

A cleaning robot includes a detector configured to detect an obstacle; a determining portion configured to determine whether the cleaning robot is in an obstacle obstruction state; and a controller configured to control the first drive wheel to cross an obstacle and control the second drive wheel to cross the obstacle according to a detection result when the cleaning robot is in the obstacle obstruction state.

A broom attachment is provided for a rotary sweeper assembly that includes a broom mount and a broom unit mountable to the broom mount. The broom attachment includes a plurality of broom attachment bristles and a support member having a retained portion and a retaining portion. The plurality of bristles extend from the retaining portion and the retained portion is operatively mountable to at least one of the broom mount and the broom unit. A broom assembly includes at least one broom attachment. When the broom attachment is operatively mounted to the broom mount, the broom attachment bristles are positioned at a greater radial distance away from an axis of rotation than the cleaning bristles of the broom unit. A method of assembling a broom attachment to a broom mount includes operatively mounting the retained portion to the broom mount.
