ABSTRACT:
A mop with a cleaning head consisting of a plurality of fluid absorbent material strands connected to a handle. A wringer rod is connected at one end to a slideable, manually operated sleeve located around the handle. The rod is pivotally connected at its other end to a roller wringer. The roller wringer is of ringed or closed polygon configuration, taking its shape from a flexibly biased support member. The support member is preferably a solid rod formed in a rectangular or other polygonal shape. The support member passes through roller elements positioned one on each of the sides of the member and completely surrounding it. As the sleeve is manually pushed down the handle, the roller wringer is forced over the mop head strands, causing the support member and rollers to expand around the strands. The biased nature of the support member ultimately causes the rollers to compress the strands, squeezing the strands and moisture from them. When the roller wringer has reached the end of the mop head strands, it pivots up. Manual movement of the sleeve back up the handle towards the user draws the roller wringer over the mop head and back to the lower end of the handle. The wringer then pivots down and, through an opening in the support member, it can be repositioned on handle.
