Abstract

An upright dustpan is disclosed which allows a user to open and close a door of a dust collecting compartment through a trigger on the handle. A trigger activates an actuating arm, which in turn causes the movement of an actuating pin that is connected to an external arm which opens the compartment door. The movement of the actuating pin may be lateral or rotational, providing different movement to the external arm.
