Truck Bed Dust Pan

Abstract

A dust pan for use on grooved or uneven surfaces, such as a truck bed. The grooves of the dust pan allow the dust pan to be flush with the surface and prevent any debris from being swept under the dust pan. The ridges of the dust pan can be manufactured to conform to various grooved or uneven truck beds and other surfaces.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A dust pan for truck beds comprising,
 a tray;   a plurality of ridges;   a front edge;   walls; and   a handle.   
     
     
         2 . The dust pan of  claim 1 , wherein the tray is a horizontal surface forming the bottom of the dust pan, said tray comprising,
 a plurality of ridges, said ridges being conformed to shape to the grooves of a truck bed or other uneven surface;   a front edge, which may be tapered or flat and have a rubber lip attached; and   walls extending vertically from the perimeter of the tray on the sides and back of the tray, said walls being connected and forming a continuous vertical surface around the sides and back of the tray, said walls further comprising,
 a handle extending horizontally from the back wall of the dustpan, said handle being shaped to allow it to be easily grasped by the user. 
   
     
     
         3 . The dust pan of  claim 1 , said dust pan allowing the user to place it onto a grooved or uneven surface which matches the shape of the grooves, further allowing the user to sweep debris into the dust pan, collect the debris within the tray and walls of the dust pan, and prevent debris from spilling or being swept under the dust pan.
