ABSTRACT:
An attachment apparatus for forming a handle to a broom handle or the like. The attachment apparatus includes a handle member, an intermediate closure member which is installed in the handle member, and a locking member which is installed within the intermediate closure member and the handle member. The locking member has one end with external screw threads and the other end which forms a loop opening. A spring biased pawl is pivotally mounted on the handle member, such that when the tip of the pawl is engaged with the external screw threads of the locking member by the spring, it locks the movement of the handle member. However, by simply pressing the pawl against the spring, an individual can free the movement of the locking member, which in turn frees the movement of the handle member. A broom handle or the like is inserted within the loop opening established by the locking member. Then the spring-biased pawl is pressed while the handle member is pushed towards the locking member until the intermediate closure member abuts against the broom handle while the loop opening on the locking member squeezes the broom handle to secure the attachment apparatus thereon. When the spring-biased pawl is released, the inner screw threads on the engaging tip of the spring biased pawl are engaged to the external screw threads of the locking member, and the handle member can be further threaded on the locking member to precisely adjust the tightness of the attachment apparatus.
