Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a self-wringing flat mop. The mop includes a shaft having an operator end and a cleaning end, a plate disposed at a cleaning end of the shaft and being pivotally connected thereto, and a wringing mechanism. A liquid absorbent member is disposed on the plate. The wringing mechanism includes a wringing handle that is disposed on a shaft and that is axially moveable with respect thereto, and a wringer connected to the wringing handle. When wringing the mop, the wringing handle is moved relative to the axis of the shaft to thereby move the wringer into a position wherein the wringer exerts a force on the plate compressing the liquid absorbent member between the plate and the wringer. The mop includes a retainer connected to the shaft for releasably retaining the plate in the wringing position.
