• an aperture formed through a thickness of said one end between said pair of members;
• a resilient member having a generally U-shaped first portion thereof mounted within said hollow interior and having a pair of second portions partially extending from said first portion through said aperture in said one end of said body past said exterior surface thereof;
• a pair of pins, each of said pair of pins extending outwardly from a respective second portion of said resilient member generally perpendicular to said length of said body, said pair of pins being disposed between said pair of spaced-apart members;

• a body comprising a hollow interior and a pair of members disposed in a spaced apart relationship with each other on an exterior surface of an end of said body and being sized and shaped to fit into the bore of the receptacle;
• a U-shaped resilient member disposed within said hollow interior;
• a pair of pins upstanding on ends of said U-shaped resilient member between said pair of spaced apart members and being sized to be received within the apertures when said pair of spaced apart members are inserted into said bore;
• and
• a pair of button members engageable with said U-shaped resilient member and mounted for linear movement in a direction transverse to a length of said body of said applicator handle, said pair of button members are manually operable to move said ends of said U-shaped resilient member toward each other for a selective engagement or disengagement of said one end with the bore and for a selective engagement or disengagement of said pair of pins with the apertures or the grooves.
