sawgrass has a good point. although i think that some improvements can be done to this design, first of all i would increase the angle of attack because at this angle, on the regular floor dust would enter under the bin. it’s not right to put the user in difficult equilibrium postures by having to raise his foot to increase the angle of attack. also with increasing the angle a step in the interior surface will be necessary to prevent the dust from falling back.

aec007 – you are dead wrong – and your assumption is faulty. I have arthritis in one knee. Squating is a painful option. If you are assuming that the purpose of the design is to never have to bend over, which is a rather silly assumption, then your critique is valid. However, squating is quite a bit different than merely bending (from the waist, in my case) to pick up something for a second. Further, it is easier for anyone, and more accurate, to use two hands to sweep with a broom into a dustpan, as opposed to the clumsy use of one hand with a broom. And one is less likely to give up on getting that last little bit into the pan if one is not squating.

This is a great idea for someone who has balance problems and cannot manage a broom with a handle as well as a dustpan with a handle. Since you can hold the dustpan still with your foot while using two hands to maneuver the broom, this could be very useful. I’d love to buy one or more of these, but I can’t find any way of doing that. Is this only a concept?
