ABSTRACT:
A connection system for a roller mop has an operating rod to control the positioning of a deformable cleaning member between spaced apart rollers. At the end of the operating rod is a lateral extension with a raised medial section. The extension is inserted into dual receptacles on the supporting plate of the cleaning member, with the raised section positioned between the receptacles. The dimensions of the receptacles are such that they are wider than they are high. They are so sized to slidably receive the extension and its raised section, when the cleaning member is inserted onto the extension, such that the raised section fits the width of the receptacles. However, when the cleaning member is rotated 90°, thus positioning the cleaning member for cleaning operations, the raised section of the extension is also rotated, and now is located between the receptacles. The raised section, having a height greater than the height of the receptacles, acts as a stop, ensuing that there is no movement between the operating rod and the cleaning member. A rigid joint is thus formed between the handle and cleaning member of the mop. A threaded connection between the extension and the plate of the cleaning member provides a secondary means of securing the operating rod, and hence the rest of the mop, to the cleaning member.
