Abstract
A dustpan includes an open-front receptacle, at least one elongated rail on the receptacle, an elongated handle having a coupling portion, and a coupling mechanism slidably coupled to the at least one rail and pivotally coupled to the coupling portion of the handle so that the handle is both slidably and pivotally moveable relative to the receptacle between use and storage positions. A broom includes an elongated second handle and a head carrying set of bristles, the head having a housing with curved side portions shaped and dimensioned to respectively nest in recesses in the dustpan handle in a stowed condition clipped to the dustpan handle in such a way that it does not interfere with the pivoting and sliding movement of the dustpan handle. The dustpan receptacle can be stood on its flat rear end wall with the stowed broom received therein.
