SCRAPER ATTACHMENT FOR PUSH BROOKS Filed May 11, 1937 mvzmom ATTORNEYS Patented June 27, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.
This invention relates to attachments for brooms of the type employed for cleaning floors of buildings wherein said floors are subjected to grease and other foreign matter having a tendency to adhere to said floors and has for the primary object the provision of efficient and inexpensive devices of this character which may be readily secured onto a broom head and by reversing the position of the latter said device may be brought into proper engagement with a floor, whereby foreign matter adhering thereto may be scraped or loosened to permit said matter to be swept up by the broom in a conventional manner.
With these and other objects in view, this invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
For a complete understanding of my inventlon, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in section, showing an attachment applied to a broom and constructed in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is a plan view showing the attachment.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 33 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 44 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a fragmentary top plan view illustrating the split collar clamp partly in section, of my device, for attaching the latter to the broom handle and shows the blade shank broken away.
Figure 6 is a fragmentary sectional view showing means of securing the attachment on the head of the broom.
Figure 7 is an end view showing a clamp engageable with the head of the broom.
Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral I indicates a broom head having secured thereto bristles 2. The head is provided with a pair of screw threaded openings 3 either of which may have threaded therein a handle 4. The screw threaded openings 3 permit reversing of the head on the handle 4. A broom of the character described is frequently considered a push type broom, that is, the broom is pushed along the floor to remove foreign matter therefrom. The
What is claimed is:
1. In combination with a broom head having a pair of openings extending therethrough from the upper face to the lower face thereof, a handle secured in one of said openings, a scraper including a shank detachably secured to the handle, a scraping blade formed on the shank and engaged with the upper face of the head and extending outwardly beyond the latter, a bracket connected to the blade and extending through the other opening, and curved means formed on the bracket and engaged with the lower face of the head for securing the blade to the head.
2. In combination with a broom head having a pair of openings extending therethrough from the upper face to the lower face thereof, a handle secured in one of said openings, a scraper ineluding a shank, a split collar formed on one end of the shank and detachably secured to the handle, a scraping blade formed on the shank and engaged with the upper face of the head and extending outwardly beyond the latter, an ear struck from the blade and closing the other opening, a bracket adjustably connected to the ear and extending into the latter opening, and curved arms formed on the bracket and engaged with the lower face of the head for securing the blade thereto.
