ABSTRACT:
A mop head connector for a wringer type sponge mop includes a pair of substantially identical shell halves, each shell half having a face and opposing sidewalls extending from the face. The sidewalls of the respective shell halves are positioned in cooperating contact to form the assembled mop head connector. At least one protruding tab portion, a first type of preferred latch member, is provided on a sidewall of each shell half. At least one groove portion, a second type of preferred latch member, is provided on an opposite sidewall of each shell half. The groove portions are positioned to receive respective protruding tab portions on the opposing shell half to hold the shell halves in assembled relation without the use of external mechanical fasteners. The interlocking latch members are crimped together to permanently retain the shell halves in an assembled relation. In addition, an end portion of an elongate handle is positioned within mop head connector. An outwardly flared segment on the handle end portion secures the elongate handle within the mop head connector without the use of external mechanical fasteners.
