ABSTRACT:
A mop apparatus for unwinding the tangled strands of a mop head such that the strands of the mop head are disentangled. The apparatus includes an inner member, an outer member slidably installed over the inner member, and a mop head which is made from a plurality of strands attached between lower ends of the inner and outer members. The outer member has a spiral ridge which is located on the lowermost portion of the outer member and a gripping portion which is located at the uppermost portion of the outer member. A ring sleeve member fits around the lowermost portion of the outer member and around the spiral ridge. A plurality of mating grooves are located inside the interior wall of the ring sleeve member to mate with the spiral ridge on the lowermost portion of the outer member. Alternatively, the outer member may have a spiral groove and the ring sleeve may have a corresponding spiral ridge. By allowing the ring sleeve member to move upwardly and travel along the spiral ridge in an upward fashion from a lower position to an upper position, then the entire mop head goes around and disentangles the mop strands. A user holds the ring sleeve member at the lower position, where the inner member, the outer member and the mop head start rotating clockwise. The rotational movement of the mop head disentangles the mop strands from each other.
