Abstract
A carrier plate for a broom includes a plurality of latches, each of which engages a broom block segment. A latch comprises a pivotally mounted arm and a spring which engages a rear surface of a broom block segment when in a closed position. The spring is extended to cause a compressive force to hold the arm in the closed position. A lever may be inserted into the arm to rotate the arm to an open position whereby the broom block segment is released to allow a replacement block to be installed.
