Abstract (en)

This invention relates to a "variable-configuration broom for cleaning and/or washing floors", of the type having a handle (12) and a supporting member for the cleaning and/or washing fibres (4), said member being coupled to the lower end of said handle, in which broom said support is made up of at least two members (1, 2, 3), of which members, in the embodiment comprising three members, one member is central (1), the handle (12) being coupled to the same, while the two other members are lateral (2, 3), the two lateral members (2, 3) being coupled respectively at one end substantially to the extremity of the central member (1), so that they can rotate about the coupling axis, taking thus two extreme positions, i.e., a closure position in which the size ratio of the width and the length of the support is close to unity, and an open position in which the support has a definitely elongated configuration.
