Dustpan handle

Abstract

This is a lobby dustpan handle which has a plurality of arcuate and straight segments resulting in a more effective and versatile utility of the dustpan and a broom used with the dustpan.

I claim:  
     
         1 . An improved lobby dustpan comprising: a debris collecting bin having an open front for receiving debris; a pivotal handle connector connected to said bin; a handle having a hand grip area and multiple arcuate and straight segments connected to said handle connector in such manner that the hand grip area extends in a horizontal plane in the direction of a closed rear of the debris collecting bin; and a clip suitable to receive a broom handle fastened to said handle at its most forward arcuate location.  
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein there is at least one arcuate segment of the handle between the first segment and the segment suitable to be gripped by a human hand.  
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein there are a multiplicity of arcuate segments between the first straight segment and the segment suitable to be gripped by a human hand.  
     
     
         4 . A handle for a lobby dustpan comprising: an elongate rigid handle in a single plane having a first segment with a straight axis; a first end of said first segment incorporating means to attach a handle to a debris collecting compartment; a second arcuate end of said first segment; a second straight segment with a straight axis depending from said arcuate end at a fifteen degree angular relationship to the axis of the first segment; a second arcuate segment terminating in a horizontal straight end suitable to be gripped by a human hand with an axis at an angular relationship to the axis of the first segment.  
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4  wherein the angular relationship is ninety degrees.
