Abstract
A mop holder comprising a holding member for holding a mop formed of a synthetic resin having a high resistance to folding, a handle shaft and a linkage member for linking said holding member to the handle; wherein said holding member comprises a pair of shell members integrally formed of said synthetic resin and extending in the lengthwise direction, a hinge that links said pair of shell members so that they can be opened and closed, a pair of teeth trains to hold the mop, and a plurality of anchoring pins provided inside said shell members; the outer surfaces of said shell members are convex, said hinge is thinner than said shell members, and flexible and extending in the lengthwise direction; said pair of teeth trains are provided at the end of an extension plate bent inwardly from said shell members at the lower edge opposite to the hinge of said shell members and over the entire lengthwise direction thereof, so that said pair of teeth trains are disposed to face each other; said anchoring pins are arranged in the vicinity of both edges, in the lengthwise direction, of said shell members to protrude toward the inside of said shell members, so that when said pair of shell members are closed, the anchoring pins provided on each of the shell members are engaged with the mop alternately; a recessed groove is formed on the outer surfaces of said pair of shell members near said lower edge and at the central part in the lengthwise direction, said recessed groove being in parallel to said lower edge so as to mount thereon the linking member.
