ABSTRACT:
A mop wherein the plate-like carrier for a mophead has a centrally located plate-like support which overlaps the upper sides of inner portions of two plate-like sections having outer portions with devices for releasably clamping flaps at the ends of a mophead. The sections of the carrier are held in operative positions (in which their undersides are substantially coplanar and the median portion of the mophead is stretched along the undersides of the sections) by a single locking bolt which is reciprocable in a guide at the upper side of the support. The guide defines a pivot axis for the lower end of a handle, and the sections are pivotable about two neighboring axes which are normal to the pivot axis for the handle. The locking bolt can be released by a single pivotable pedal for automatic movement to an inoperative position in which the undersides of the sections are adjacent each other and the median portion of the mophead forms a downwardly extending loop which can be cleaned in a relatively small body of cleaning liquid in a bucket. The locking bolt is automatically returned to its operative position when the sections of the carrier are pivoted back to their starting positions in which the mophead is stretched and is adjacent their undersides.
