Dust mop handle method and apparatus

Abstract

This is a dust mop handle and method in which the handle has a plurality of arcuate and straight segments including means to attach a dust mop to one end; unique hand holding means providing for bi-planar holding and movement of the dust mop handle in such manner that the effective force being applied to the dust mop is multiplied and enhanced and strain on the user is reduced.

I claim:  
     
         1 . An improved dust mop handle comprising: a first hand grip area adjacent a first end of said handle; multiple arcuate and straight segments connected to said first hand grip area; a second hand grip area intermediate said first hand grip area and a second end of said handle; dust mop means attached to second end in such manner that the first and second hand grip areas may be used to multiply force exerted upon said dust mop means.  
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein there is at least one arcuate segment and one angular segment between the first and second hand grip areas.  
     
     
         3 . A method for manipulating a dust mop comprising the steps of: forming a dust mop handle which includes at least two hand grip areas which are arranged so as to provide gripping by two hands in a 90 degree planar relation to each other; and moving the mop handle simultaneously in two planes which are at a 90 degree relationship to each other.
