Abstract:
The specification discloses a wringable mop including a sponge pinchingly retained within a channel, a ferrule including an integral mounting plate, a clamp, a roller-carrying bridge, and a wringer handle. A tab extends from the wringer handle through an aperture in the bridge to pivotally connect the wringer handle and the bridge. The clamp is hingedly connected to the mounting plate at two locations, and a bolt passes through the clamp and mounting plate approximately midway between these two locations to draw the clamp and mounting plate together to secure the channel and sponge therebetween. A detent tab extends from the mounting plate into an aperture in the channel to prevent the channel from shifting laterally with respect to the mounting plate.
