broom handle with a screw thread and the socket or hole in the broom-head is
likewise screw threaded corresponding to the thread on the end of the handle the
said end being for preference of slightly tapering form in order that it may be
secured to broom-heads of various sizes.

In carrying our invention into practical effect we furnish the end of the
broom handle with a screw thread and the socket or hole in the broom-head is
likewise screw threaded corresponding to the thread on the end of the handle,

to describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is
a side view of a broom with the handle ready to be attached to same, while
Fig. 2 shows the handle in position.
According to our invention, one ends of the handle his furnished with a suitable

page_text: screw thread, while the broom-head 6 is provided with a hole or perforation p which
is likewise screw threaded.
By this means the head b can be quickly and easily attached to the handle h in
a very secure and efficient manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that
what we claim is :-
The new or improved method and means for fixing or securing the handles to
