Abstract (en)
It comprises a bushing (1), rotatable around its longitudinal axis, fitted on the bristle (14) backing (13) and projecting from the upper face thereof, one end (18) of the broomstick or similar implement being hingedly connected in said bushing (1), around an axis which is transverse to the bushing (1) rotation axis. Said rotatable bushing (1) is provided with a lobe (7), projecting from the upper face of the bristle backing (13), to which a yoke (25) is hingedly connected, said yoke (25) being attached to the end of the broomstick, around which an exterior sleeve (29) is fitted, axially slidable and biased by a spring (30) that tends to place it in a position encircling the yoke (25) and blocking its hinge relatively to the bushing lobe (7). It enables to gain access to zones otherwise difficult to reach with a broom or similar implement.
