Abstract
A dustpan includes a pan with a lip at one edge of the perimeter of the pan floor and a wall surrounding the perimeter of the pan floor from one end of the lip to the other. A grip and a generally U-shaped footplate are attached to the pan opposite the lip. A member can be attached to the rear end of the grip and the footplate. The grip and the footplate can be separated by a void. Several of the dustpans can be nested. The footplate can be attached to points on the outer wall that are separated by a curve in the outer wall.
