Abstract
A dust pan assembly has a bracket coupled to the rear of the dust pan scoop for pivotally receiving an elongated handle, wherein the handle can pivot and lock between at least two positions. In a first position the handle and scoop are perpendicular, for gathering debris. In a second position the handle and scoop are parallel for shovel-like disposal of debris gathered therein and for optimal storage and display. Additionally, the dust pan assembly can have clamping means on one or both of the handle and the bracket for receiving a broom, whereby the dust pan assembly and the broom for use therewith are attached as an integral unit.
