Abstract:
1. A mop head and handle combination comprising: said mop head being comprised of a substantially rectangularly shaped block of substantially rigid foam material and having a length, a width and a height defined by a top wall, a bottom wall, two side walls and two end walls; a substantially cylindrically shaped cavity in the interior of said block that extends a substantial portion of the length thereof; an elongated slot in said top wall extending from said top wall downwardly and communicating with said cavity, the length of said slot being substantially commensurate with the length of said cavity, the width of said slot being less that the diameter of said cavity; said handle including a substantially vertically extending elongated pole having a top end and a bottom end; a substantially horizontally extending substantially cylindrically shaped bar connected to said bottom end of said pole, said pole and bar thereby forming a T configuration; the length of said bar being substantially the same as the length of said cavity and the diameter of said bar being substantially the same as the diameter of said cavity, the diameter of said bar being greater than the width of said slot formed in the top wall of said block, whereby said handle can be connected to said mop head by aligning said bar with said slot and pushing down on said pole to force said bar through said slot and into said cavity, the portions of said block around said slot flexing out of the way to allow said bar to pass therethrough and then flexing back to their normal position to maintain said bar in place within said cavity.
