Abstract
An injection-molded receiver for securing a mop handle, broom handle or alternative cleaning or utility handle to a mop, broom or other cleaning or utility implement or tool having a threaded mounting stud. The injection-molded receiver includes a receiver cap having a cap opening for receiving and mounting one end of the handle and a cap base integrally formed in the receiver cap and fitted with an internally-threaded insert having flange cleats which is injection-molded into the cap base for threadably receiving the threaded mounting stud attached to the cleaning or utility implement, for example, a screw-type mop head. Injection-molding of the insert in the cap base of the receiver facilitates stability, longevity and ease of coupling a screw-type mop or similar utility implement or tool to a handle.
