ABSTRACT:
A wringer mop has a mop head housing, an elongated mop cartridge having an absorbent pad and a tubular mop handle. A pivot couples the mop head housing to the mop handle for pivotal movement therebetween. One or more pairs of spaced-apart wringer rollers are supported by the mop housing on either side of the mop cartridge to secure the mop cartridge within the mop head housing. An actuator mechanism includes a crank in the form of a linkage rod movably disposed within the tubular mop handle. A hooked end of the linkage rod extends within the mop housing into releasable pivotal engagement with the mop cartridge. The mop cartridge includes an tab having an opening therethrough which pivotally receives the hook. The actuator mechanism further includes a crank handle reversibly shiftable between first and second positions to pass the absorbent pad between the wringer rollers. The crank handle is reversibly shiftable into a third position to expel the mop cartridge from between the wringer rollers to permit removal of the mop cartridge.
