Abstract
A versatile broom, brush or similar floor care implement comprises a head anchoring on a first side thereof a multiplicity of bristles presenting a substantially-flat bristle surface, and an integrally-formed connector-mating structure on an opposed second side of the head. The cleaning implement is maneuvered by an elongated handle disposed at a variety of preselected angles. Intermediate the head and handle is a handle interconnector to which the handle is detachably secured at one extremity and a connection assembly is ratchetably-pivotably secured at the other extremity. The connection assembly and the integrally-formed connector-mating structure on the head interact so that the handle can be selectively pivoted in a single plane as much as 180.degree. or more and locked at any of a number of preselected angles relative to the substantially-flat bristle-end surface.
