ABSTRACT:
A mop holding apparatus requires the use of only one foot to operate the apparatus, and which is designed that a holding mechanism can be applied to hold loose ends of a mop head of a mop from turning when the mop is being wrung. The holding apparatus includes a bucket, a holding mechanism, and an operating mechanism. The holding mechanism is mounted on the top of the bucket. It includes a bottom plate, a first extending arm formed with the bottom plate and extending upwardly therefrom, and a second movable extending arm connected with the first extending arm at converging ends. The bottom plate has perforations therethrough for allowing fluid to drain to the bottom of the bucket from the mop head when the mop is wrung. The operating mechanism includes a foot pedal mounted on the bucket and a strap operatively interconnecting the foot pedal to the second movable extending arm of the holding mechanism, where the foot pedal is operative on depression of the foot pedal to produce a closing movement on the second movable extending arm to move toward the first extending arm for holding the loose ends of the mop head, and thereby also allows the fluid from the mop head to drain through the perforations of the bottom plate of the holding mechanism and into the bucket.
