FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to push brooms. More precisely, the present invention relates to a push broom head and a method of fabrication thereof.

BACKGROUND

Different types of push brooms typically apply to different types of anticipated particles to be swept and to different types of sweeping surfaces, based on the fact that different type of bristles removing different types of particles depending on the sweeping surface.

Some broom heads combine bristles of different stiffness so as to efficiently remove a range of particles in one operation with a single broom. It has been found that coarse forward bristles are efficient in sweeping heavy particles while rear less coarse bristles take up finer materials that are not picked up by the coarser front bristles.

A number of configurations for broom heads were presented, including for example finer-bristled, softer border with a coarse, stiffer center section; or coarser front bristles and longer, finer rear bristles.

There is still a need in the art for a push broom head and a method of fabrication thereof.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

More specifically, in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a push broom head, the push broom head comprising a base, the base comprising a leading edge and a trailing edge separated by a width of the base; and tufts of bristles of a same free length extending from a surface of the base; wherein the tufts of bristles are arranged in rows of bristles of decreasing stiffness from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the base.

There is further provided a method for making a push broom head, the method comprising providing a base having a leading edge and a trailing edge; and securing rows of bristles of decreasing stiffness from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the base.

Other objects, advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent upon reading of the following non-restrictive description of specific embodiments thereof, given by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings.
