A push broom head includes a body including an upper face, a lower face, a front face, a rear face, and left and right end faces. A plurality of sweeper bristles project outwardly from the lower face. A handle mounting block portion includes a socket adapted to receive an associated broom handle. The handle mounting block portion is located between left and right portions of the body. The body includes a plurality of open pockets defined in the upper face on both the left and right portions of the body. Each of the pockets opens through the upper face of the body and comprises a bottom wall. Each of the pockets defines a depth between the upper face of the body and the respective bottom wall.

A first work tool arm is rotatably attached to a frame or reference structure, a second work tool arm rotatably attached to the first work tool arm, and a work tool attached to an end of the second work tool arm. An actuator and a spring are each rotatably attached to the second work tool arm and configured such that separate movement of the first work tool arm relative to the frame or reference structure and movement of the second work tool arm and work tool relative to the first work tool arm are achieved with actuation of the actuator.

A scraper broom intended for use on parquet, tile and other finished floors, with the scraper (14) attached to the broom head (10) by inserting its upper portion into a socket (12) which is an integral part of the broom head (10). The socket (12) is centrally located on one of the long sides of the broom head (10), the socket (12) tightly embracing the scraper (14), while the lower portion of the scraper (14) with the sharpened lower edge (15) extends downwards along the bristles (16). The scraper (14) is made preferably of abrasive-resistant plastic to assure it won't scratch finished floors. Similar embodiment is provided for a squeegee.

A broom for minimizing the aggregation of dust and particulates when sweeping. The broom includes a shaft having a first end and a second end. A broom head having a plurality of bristles is affixed to the second end of the shaft, wherein a channel is disposed within the shaft. The channel is in fluid communication with a nozzle disposed on the broom head, wherein the bristles conceal the nozzle. A reservoir is removably fastened to the first end of the shaft. When fastened to the shaft, the reservoir is in fluid communication with the channel. The reservoir can to excrete a quantity of liquid into the channel and out of the nozzle, thereby moistening the bristle.

A brush includes a middle piece having a left connector and a right connector, and a left piece including a left middle portion having a proximate end, a hinge end, and a connector coupled to the proximate end and configured to be removably coupled to the left connector of the middle piece. The left piece also includes and a left end portion having a distal end and a hinge end pivotably coupled to the hinge end of the left middle portion. The brush also includes a right piece including a right middle portion having a proximate end, a hinge end, and a connector coupled to the proximate end and configured to be removably coupled to the right connector of the middle piece. The right piece also includes a right end portion having a distal end and a hinge end pivotably coupled to the hinge end of the right middle portion.

The prevent invention relates to a cleaning tool comprising: a body (17) and upstanding side walls (14,16), the body (17) and side walls (14,16) defining a channel to collect debris, the side walls (14,16) comprising retaining means configured to retain a brush in use. The channel comprises a first end (20) axially spaced from a second end (22), where one of the first end (20) and/or second end (22) comprises a different flexibility than the remainder of the channel.

A skirt for a broom that has a handle, a head and bristles extending from the head with a connector on the head includes a fabric having properties selected to be attractive to dirt. The fabric has a size at least twice the area of one major face of the bristles of the broom and has connectors complementary to the connectors on the broom head, so the fabric may be wrapped over the bristles and fastened to the broom head by engagement of the fabric connectors with the connectors on the broom head. The connectors on the skirt are typically loop-type hook and loop fasteners, so they can engage hook-type hook and loop fasteners on the broom head.

A multi-surface cleaning apparatus is provided that includes a cylindrical dowel having an eccentrically-shaped body comprising first and second lobes. The body further comprises at least two arrays of differing sized bristle packets extending therefrom. The first array is configured for engaging a flat surface and the second array is configured for engaging a woven surface. First and second wheels are guided by a respective annular eccentric race formed by an inset and a boss in the race. The eccentrically-shaped body and the eccentrically shaped first and second races prevent the wheels from engaging a flooring surface when the first array is in contact with the floor and the eccentrically-shaped body and the eccentrically shaped first and second races allow the wheels to engage a flooring surface when the second array is in contact with the floor.

A dual-function floor cleaning brush comprises a crevice brush with a threaded head at the top for handle connection and a floor brush with an interior connection groove for crevice brush embedment, allowing a combination into a single entity. The top of the floor brush is movably provided with a fixing knob for clamping the crevice brush, the positioning slots are provided on both sides of the crevice brush, and positioning blocks are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the connection groove, realizing engagement between the positioning slots and the positioning blocks with the crevice brush embedded into the connection groove. The crevice brush and floor brush can be used independently or in combination, and rotating the fixing knob realizes a simple and quick operation of installing and removing the crevice brush, enabling the threaded head's angle adjustment via the turning knob.

The double action push broom of the present invention includes a dynamic double action dual brush head and a broom handle. The dynamic double action dual brush head includes two brush heads rotatably attached to a brush head base, allowing the brush heads to independently rotate about the axis in which it is rotatably attached to the brush head base. A mechanical device capable of storing and releasing energy is connected between the two brush heads, which is rigidly attached to the brush head base. The double action push broom stores kinetic energy in the form of potential energy in the mechanical energy storage device of the dynamic double action dual brush head during the sweeping stroke of the double action push broom. At the end of the sweeping stroke, the stored potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and rotates the dual brush, thereby providing an additional sweeping motion.
