Abstract:
A twist mop comprising a handle, a wringing actuator, and a mop head into which an end portion of the mop handle extends, the mop head being releasably and substantially irrotationally coupled at first and second opposite ends thereof respectively to said end portion of the mop handle and to the actuator, the actuator being moveable relative to the handle to effect torsional wringing of the mop head; the mop head being demountable from the handle and the actuator, without passing the mop head over the handle in a direction away from said end portion of the handle, by decoupling the mop head from the actuator and from said end portion of the handle and withdrawing said end portion of the handle from the mop head in a direction from said first to said second end of the mop head, the respective first and second opposite ends of the mop head being interchangeably substantially irrotationally and releasably couplable to the handle and the actuator such that the mop head can be reversibly mounted on the handle and the actuator.
