A multi-section quick assembly handle includes a multiple tubular members made of a permanently formable material having a threaded and friction fit connection.

A handle assembly system includes first and second handle sections intended to be assembled with one another. The first and second handle sections include complementary threads that cooperate to retain the first and second handle sections. The system also includes a friction seal interposed between the first and second handle sections.

A locking device for securing a tool handle shaft to a tool body such as a broom, brush, hoe, rake or shovel that selectively prevents removal of the handle shaft from the tool body utilizing a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is operatively connected to the tool body and includes a key that is selectively mateable to the keyhole in the handle shaft thereby locking the handle shaft to the tool body.

Disclosed is a cleaning apparatus. The apparatus has a handle adapted to releasably engage with a connection member: a connection member adapted to releasably engage with a handle, a cleaning head and a stand; a cleaning head adapted to releasably engage with the connection member; and a stand adapted to releasably engage with the connection member; the apparatus arranged such that when the handle, connection member and cleaning head are engaged they form a handheld cleaning device which is able to releasably engage with the stand for storage.

A modular cleaning set includes one or more separable components magnetically attached to each other, and including a broom, dustpan, mini-brooms, and one or more brushes. The handles and rods of the cleaning set may be reversibly attached to any of the individually separable components.

The double action cleaning tool of the present invention includes a dynamic double action dual brush head and a handle. The dynamic double action dual brush head includes two brush heads rotatably attached to a brush head base, allowing the brush heads to independently rotate about the axis in which it is rotatably attached to the brush head base. A mechanical device capable of storing and releasing energy is connected between the two brush heads, which is rigidly attached to the brush head base. The double action cleaning tool stores energy in the form of potential energy in the mechanical energy storage device of the dynamic double action dual brush head during the sweeping stroke of the double action push broom. At the end of the sweeping stroke, the stored potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and rotates the dual brush, thereby providing an additional sweeping motion.

Briefly stated, a broom is provided that can be used to move, sweep, clean dirt, debris, water, or other matter. The broom comprises a head, a connector mounted to the head and a handle having one end mated to the connector and extending away from the head. The head comprises a rigid frame and a bristle package which is removably secured to or received in the frame. The frame thus provides structure and rigidity to the bristle package. The bristle package can have a length greater than, generally equal to, or shorter than a length of the frame.
