Abstract
A broomstick for a broom includes a cap having a first part that is connected to an end of the broomstick and a second part provided with a hanging element configured to hang the broomstick to a wall. The connection between the first part of the cap and the broomstick is rotatable in such a way that the cap can rotate with respect to the broomstick and vice-versa, wherein, further, the cap is in a single piece in such a way that a rotation of the first part of the cap corresponds to a rotation of the second part of the cap.

An assembly of a cap and a broomstick for a broom comprising:
- a cap having a first part that is connected to an end of the broomstick and a second part provided with a hanging element configured to hang the broomstick to a wall,
- wherein said first part of the cap and the broomstick are rotatably coupled, enabling the cap, after coupling, to rotate with respect to the broomstick, and the broomstick to rotate with respect to the cap, while preventing a longitudinal sliding of the cap with respect to the broomstick,
- wherein the cap is made in a single piece, such that a rotation of the first part of the cap corresponds to a rotation of the second part of the cap, and
- wherein the first part of the cap and the broomstick are rotatably coupled by having a protuberance defined on the first part of the cap engage a circular notching defined in a body of the broomstick without any intermediate member or members between the cap and the broomstick, such to provide a direct contact between the cap and the broomstick.
A method of producing an assembly formed by a cap coupled to a broomstick, the method comprising:
- injecting into a mold a liquid material for forming a cap, the mold being configured to form the cap in a single piece, having a superior part and an inferior part, the superior part being provided with a hanging element and the inferior part having a first connection element shaped as a protuberance;
- providing a broomstick having a second connection element shaped as a circular notching defined in a body of the broomstick;
- and
- coupling the cap to the broomstick without any intermediate member or members therebetween so that the superior and the inferior parts are mutually rotatable while preventing a longitudinal sliding of the cap with respect to the broomstick.
