Abstract
A quick connect assembly comprises a semicircular cross-sectioned wedge member attached to the outside surface of a pole. A pin protrudes through the surface of the pole opposite the wedge member to provide a means of registration between the pole and a hole in a mounting portion of an accessory tool. A locking sleeve is slidably positioned on the pole so that the accessory tool is clamped firmly next to the pole when the locking sleeve is positioned around and jams against the wedge surface. A collar member is also provided to prevent the locking sleeve from sliding off the pole at the end opposite the wedge.
