ABSTRACT:
A dust mop has a swivel joint for coupling a mop head to an elongated handle. A swivel base on the mop head has a swivel socket with a cylindrical passageway along an axis parallel to the plane of the mop head. The passageway is unrestricted at the rear and restricted at a front by a raised lip for axially locking a rod of a swivel connector arranged to pivot on the base and couple to the handle. The handle receptacle defines an angle relative to the swivel rod, this rod forming a cylindrical bearing member for rotatable reception in the passageway. A planar ramp is formed on an axial front of the front end of the swivel rod, to guide the ramp over the raised lip when the swivel connector is rotated to align the ramp to the lip. A circumferential groove is formed adjacent the end of the swivel rod for receiving the lip. The swivel rod is flattened from the ramp rearwardly, along a transverse chordal surface aligned to the ramp, preferably tapering out to the full radius of the cylinder. A rib spaced axially from the raised lip cooperates with the tapering surface to lift the ramp at the lip. The device is easily assembled provided the ramp is first aligned to the raised lip. The ramp faces the extension of the handle, and thus only faces the lip when the handle is upside down.
