Multifunctional Broom-Head

[Category : - Cleaning devices]
[Viewed 118 times]

The Multifunctional Broom-Head (MFB) is a multi-purpose cleaning device that integrates scraping utility into sweeping activities by way of a single, solid-body, geometrically-optimized design. The MFB gives users the advantage of a scraping edge built onto the head of the broom which solves multiple problems experienced by people engaged in sweeping duties.

The first problem is having to fetch a separate tool to get the job done. Picture a home with hardwood floors. There are children and sometimes things get sticky. You're tidying up with a quick sweep of the area only to encounter fruit snacks mashed onto the floor, perhaps stickers from the sticker book, and... not quite sure what that is but, like the others, it too is stuck and wont sweep up! What you've always done is fetched another tool (i.e., scraper, knife, spatula, etc.) to uplift the crud off the floor so you can sweep it up.

The next problem is in and of itself the act of fetching another tool because it breaks the would-be straight forward workflow of sweeping the floor which adds more steps into the job and, consequently, delays the completion of the task at hand. The final problem involves the kinesiological and ergonomic relationship between the person performing the task and the tool(s) being used to get the job done: to scrape up material off the floor requires you to stop sweeping and bend down to chisel away at the floor crud.

Up to this point, we know that a common broom will not get the job done. We know that in order to solve the problem, other tools are required. We find out that sweeping the floor went from a straight forward task, to a complicated process that breaks the normal flow of work, introduces delay, and challenges the ergonomics at the point of use. The MFB turns these problems on their head and sweeps them away for good.

Each MFB is fashioned with bristles and, having universal female threads, is designed to fit most all types of broom sticks. The MFB is made from ABS via Plastic Injection Molding (PLM) or 3D printing. ABS is an ideal material due to its availability, mechanical properties, and cost effectiveness. ABS resists wear and deformation under stress making it the choice for this application.

Once a user swaps their basic broom head out for the MFB, they'll never experience the inconvenience of having to fetch another tool to get the job done. The user will be able to maintain their workflow, complete the job in a timely manor, and enjoy the comfort, efficiency, and mechanical advantage of attacking floor crud with an integrated scraper while maintaining the effort and posture of a simple sweep of the floor.


Financial information

This is an outright sale of the patent. This has not been sold or marketed. The buyer will ultimately gain sole ownership of the intellectual property (i.e., the provisional patent, the research, drawings, CAD models, etc.).

The market potential is highly attractive for this invention on the basis that the Global Market Size for Brooms has steadily been increasing. In the US alone, by 2033, it is expected to increase another 5.9%. The UK is expecting growth of 6.6% and Asian countries show the most potential. Key drivers for this product are based on North American consumer statistics which show high standards of household cleanliness, a robust commercial cleaning sector, and strong consumer interest in DIY home improvement and garden maintenance projects. European markets show a deep rooted link to household tidiness and a focus on innovative ways to improve cleaning. European flooring materials are typically of the hard surface variety, which this is excellent for.
