Abstract

A broom comprising an elongated block with opposing side walls and end walls, a top and, when viewed in side elevation, having a curved bottom; the block bottom having a plurality of spaced apart holes having about the same depth and containing the upper ends of tufts of broom fibers; all the broom fibers in all the tufts in the holes having essentially the same length whereby the curved block bottom and the fanning effect of the fibers after being embedded in the holes creates a broom sweeping head of fibers with a straight outer end without a need to cut the outer ends of the fibers after being embedded in the holes; the lower end of a broom handle being connected to the block at an angle of at least about 5.degree. from vertical when measured with the lower end of the broom sweeping head resting on a horizontal surface and with the broom handle axis intersecting the block top at a location, when measured from one end of the block, which is about 30 to 45% of the length of the block.
