Spring-Loaded Push Broom

Spring-Loaded Push Broom FARM HOME Miscellaneous 25-2-31 It's not on the market yet but this new spring-loaded push broom shows a lot of promise. Christopher Kimbro, a senior at California State University-Northridge, designed the broom as a school project. A compression spring is fitted into the handle, just above the broom head. When you push forward on the broom, the spring compresses and then pops forward, making sweeping quicker and more efficient. Kimbro recently won first place in a design contest at the International Housewares Show in Chicago. He is looking for a manufacturer. Kimbro can be contacted through the International Housewares Assoc., 6400 Shafer Court, Ste. 650, Rosemont, Ill. 60018 (www.housewares.org).
