Abstract

See full text

A device and tool include a fitting and a coupler for joining a handle and an end effector such as a broom or mop so that the handle cannot twist with respect to the end effector. The first end of the fitting attaches to the handle. The first end of the coupler threads to the second end of the fitting, and its second end threads to the end effector. Both the fitting and coupler have diametrical passages. A stopper on the coupler will seat in a ramp in the fitting when the coupler and fitting are fully threaded together and the stopper reaches the end wall of the ramp so the user knows the coupler and fitting are aligned. A clip holds the diametrical passages of the fitting and coupler in alignment to prevent twisting.
