Abstract:
A tool for washing floors, having at a lower end of a handle a sponge-bearing device comprising at least two segments, a first segment and a second segment, both the first and second segments together forming a support for a sponge, both first and second segments being preferably flat and elongate in shape and hinged together in order to be able to pass from an extended work configuration into a bunched squeezing configuration, the first segment being constrained to the lower end of the handle, the second segment being constrained to an end of a con rod having another end which is hinged to a sliding sleeve coaxially coupled on the handle, wherein the lower end of the handle is hinged to the first segment about an axis contained in a perpendicular plane to the first segment and wherein the lower end of the con rod is constrained to the second segment by means of an element which is hinged to the second segment in such a way as to be freely rotatable about an axis which is coplanar with the axis hinging the first segment to the handle.
