Abstract
The disclosure concerns an improved scheme for storing a dust pan on a push broom which is suitable for use with ordinary, commercially available push brooms, and which facilitates mounting and dismounting of the dust pan. The new scheme employs a dust pan having a channel-shaped handle which is adapted to freely receive and extend around the upper surface of the broom handle, and a pan portion which is adapted to underlie the broom handle and be held captive between that handle and a pair of flanking retainers on the brush head.
