Abstract
A handle for an implement for cleaning a surface, such as a floor, includes an elongated pole, an end cap and a hang cap. The elongated pole has a top end and a bottom end. The bottom end of the elongated pole is adapted to be coupled to a cleaning head on the implement. The end cap is fixedly mounted over the top end of the pole and the hang cap is movably mounted over the end cap. The end cap and hang cap are constructed so that when the hang cap is mounted in place on the end cap, the hang cap may rotate relative to the end cap but cannot move up or down relative to the end cap. The hang cap may define a hole for removably mounting the implement on a hook attached to a wall.

- a handle, the handle comprising:
- an elongated pole having a top end and a bottom end, the bottom end attached to the cleaning head, and
- an angled hang cap consisting of a substantially straight connecting portion, defining a central longitudinal axis, and operatively attached to the top end of the pole, and a substantially straight axially elongated gripping portion extending directly from the connecting portion, at an angle relative to the central longitudinal axis, to an end of the cleaning implement, the gripping portion having a hole for use in removably mounting the cleaning implement onto a hook attached on a wall or other surface.
