Abstract
A connection structure is designed to connect the blade and the handle of a gardening implement and is formed of a connection rod, a control member, a locating head, and two steel balls movably contained in the recess of the control member and the locating holes of the locating head. As the control member is rotated to locate the connection rod which is fastened with the blade, the steel balls are forced by the control member in motion into the locating holes of the locating head. The blade and the handle are separated by rotating the control member in such a manner that the steel balls are forced back into the recess of the control member.
