Abstract
A mop handle connector which is removably attached to the end of a mop handle and is typically fitted with a clamp to facilitate removable attachment of a dust mop frame to the mop handle. In a preferred embodiment the mop handle connector is characterized by a connector plate, one end of which is threaded into the end of the mop handle and a conventional clamping mechanism is pivotally attached to the opposite end of the connector plate. A lock ring may be slidably disposed on the connector plate and can be selectively brought into engagement with the clamping mechanism to maintain the attached dust mop frame in a rigid position with respect to the mop handle, or disengaged from the clamping mechanism to allow the attached dust mop frame to pivot with respect to the mop handle.
