ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for constructing a mop head comprising a ram adapted to be urged downwardly having a ram head thereon to insert a rigid mop fiber securing wire into a preformed mop head. As the ram moves downwardly, the mop head is inserted in a resiliently mounted mop head support apparatus to align the mop head with the ram. Mop fibers are placed over the mop head and metal fingers are positioned over the ends of the mop head. The ram head engages guide members to align the securing wire with the mop head and the ram is urged downwardly, causing the ends of the wire to engage the metal fingers such that the wire is moved past the metal fingers and under shoulders formed in the ends of the mop head and securely positioned thereon and retain the mop fibers therein. The fibers frictionally engage the sides of the mop head and are retained therein by the wire.
