Claims16
A broom assembly, comprising:
- a rod having a first end and a second end;
- a broomstick that magnetically and reversibly attaches to the rod;
- a push button positioned at the first end of the rod;
- an internal wire disposed within the rod, the internal wire having a first end coupled to the push button and a second end coupled to a base end of an ejecting pin;
- the ejecting pin disposed within the rod, the ejecting pin having the base end and an ejecting end, the base end being larger in diameter than the ejecting end;
- an aperture at the second end of the rod, the aperture sized to allow only the ejecting end of the ejecting pin to pass through;
- wherein depressing the push button moves the internal wire to push the base end of the ejecting pin, causing the ejecting end of the ejecting pin to extend outward through the aperture at the second end of the rod to disconnect the magnetic attachment of the rod to the broomstick;
- an ejecting spring positioned at the second end of the rod, around the ejecting end of the ejecting pin and compressed between the base end of the ejecting pin and the second end of the rod when the push button is depressed,
- wherein the ejecting spring retracts the ejecting pin, the internal wire, and the push button when the push button is released;
- and
- a broomhead having bristles, which reversibly attaches to the broomstick.
