ABSTRACT:
A self-wringing swab type mop which has absorbent material strands and a hollow sleeve encompassing the mop handle. The sleeve is slidably mounted for movement along the handle and over the absorbent strands. A squeeze ring made up of a plurality of rollers is located within a housing permanently secured to the sleeve. The ring serves to squeeze moisture from the strands as the sleeve travels over the strands. When the sleeve is in position completely covering the strands, the mop presents a stable, compact unit, weighted at its end beneath the sleeve. In this position, an abrasive scrubber surface secured to the sleeve by means of an integral scrubber support can effectively and efficiently be used to clean ingrained soiled surfaces, without encumbrance from the mop strands. After cleaning is completed, the sleeve can be slidably retuned to its position off the strands over the handle, where it is locked in place by means of an interconnecting locking ring clamp. The mop can then again be used to continue cleaning or swabbing operations with the mop strands. The sleeve and its housing, which supports the scrubber, are secured together in desired alignment by means of sleeve tracks which guide the housing onto the sleeve to its final designated locked position on the sleeve.
