Abstract:
A mop having an elongate handle, a mop head for carrying a squeezable pad mop material, said mop head being in at least two parts which can swing relative to one another so that in one swung condition the pad will be generally flat and unsqueezed and be useable as a mop, and in another swung condition so the pad will be squeezed,mop squeeze arm means carrying said mop head for causing said two parts to swing together between said one swung condition and said another swung condition, a swivel connector interconnecting said mop head and said handle, said swivel connector having two mutually perpendicular swivel axes to enable said mop head to assume various angular orientations relative to said handle whilst said pad is engaged on a surface to be mopped, stop means on said mop head for preventing swivel movement of said mop head relative to said handle past a particular orientation when said squeeze arm means is operated to squeeze said pad mop material thereby permitting pressure to be applied to said mop head by said squeeze arm means to effect swinging of said two parts and squeezing of said pad mop material.
