ABSTRACT:
This self-wringable mop comprises an elongated handle; a support assembly secured adjacent the normally-lower extremity of the handle, and having a generally-planar surface disposed at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the handle; a compressible absorbent cleaning element having a first surface substantially registering with and detachably secured to the generally-planar surface of the support assembly, and an opposed substantially-flat second surface exposed and oriented so that substantially the full area is contactable with substantially-flat surfaces to be mopped; and a manually-actionable wringing assembly comprising a lever mechanism pivotally mounted in relation to the handle, and a single roller unit operably secured to the lever mechanism and disposed so that upon manual actuation the roller unit rolls over and progressively compresses the cleaning element against the generally-planar surface of the support assembly, thereby wringing absorbed fluids from the cleaning element, the wringing assembly being disposed when in an at-rest position so as not to interfere with mopping operation.
