Broom with a handle opening in the head thereof

A broom base connected to a broomstick comprising:

• (a) a broom head for supporting a broom brush extending downwardly therefrom and means for supporting a broomstick extending upwardly therefrom, the broom head having straight lower edges, the broom stick defining an acute angle relative to the straight lower edges of the broom head;
• (b) said broom head having a leading edge and a trailing edge, the leading edge and trailing edge being connected by said straight lower edges, an upwardly extending vertical axis defining a center line of the broom head perpendicular to the straight lower edges, an opening defined through said broom head;
• said opening being positioned adjacent said leading edge to define a handle portion positioned such that a major portion thereof is between said leading edge and the center line, said opening being integral with said broom head, the opening being oblong and defining a longitudinal axis, the longitudinal axis defining acute angle relative to the straight edges;
• and
• (c) said room brush comprising a plurality of bristles extending downwardly from said broom head across a width thereof with the bristles at said leading edge being longer than other bristles of said brush.

A broom comprising:

• (a) a broom head having a leading edge, and a trailing edge, straight lower edges connecting the leading edge and the trailing edge, the broom head being configured for supporting a broom brush extending downwardly therefrom, a center line being positioned through the center of one of the lower edges and perpendicular to the lower edges of the broom head, the center line defining a leading edge side of the broom head and a trailing edge side of the broom head;
• (b) a broomstick defining an axis extending upwardly from said broom head at an acute angle with respect to said lower edges the broomstick being positioned on the trailing edge side of the broom head;
• (c) an ob long opening defined through said broom head;
• said opening being positioned adjacent said leading edge to define a handle portion adapted for the positioning of four fingers and positioned such that a major portion thereof is between said leading edge and the center line and integral with said broom head, the oblong opening defining a longitudinal axis at an acute angle relative to the lower edges;
• (d) said room brush comprising a plurality of bristles extending downwardly across a length of said broom head with the bristles at said leading edge being longer than other bristles across said length.
