Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1275475A2] A flexible attachment mechanism used in conjunction with push brooms having a broom handle and a broom head to provide a flexible attachment mechanism at the junction where the broom handle is connected to the broom head. The flexible attachment mechanism allows the broom head to flex up and down causing the flexible attachment mechanism to be pre-loaded when pushing with the broom handle and upon releasing the downward movement during a normal sweeping action, the pre-loaded flexible attachment mechanism springs up, which in turn causes the broom head to spring upwardly to kick the debris further away from the broom head. <IMAGE>
