rug beater
Dust-removal paddle
A rug beater is a handled tool, traditionally made of wicker, rattan, or wire bent into a flat paddle or looped pattern, used to beat dust and dirt from rugs and carpets hung outdoors.
Before vacuum cleaners became common, beating rugs was a regular household chore: She hung the rug over the clothesline and gave it a good beating.
