Abstract
An integrally formed locking clip has a unitary body and downwardly extending lateral side arms. The clip is made of resiliently flexible material which allows the side arms to extend over and around the top support member of a push broom head and attach to the broom head. The clip has an upper section consisting of a threaded opening which is configured to accept and threadably engage the threaded end connection of the handle of the push broom. When so engaged, the handle is securely mounted on and along the longitudinal axis of the broom head. The upper section of the clip may be formed of a closed circular threaded ring or a partially opened threaded cradle.
