Abstract
A combination mop and wringer comprising a handle and a replaceable strand type mop positioned at one end of the handle. A slide arm reciprocates relative to the handle from an initial position to a wringing position to push a pivotal, split ring member over the strand mop to wring out excess water. The slide arm reciprocates through a guide block having a configured opening to prevent twisting of the slide arm during movement. Reciprocation of the slide arm returns the split ring member to its initial position ahead of the strand mop. The split ring includes a pivotal connection to the slide arm and a flapper type closure to automatically complete the ring configuration prior to each mop wringing cycle. The slide arm may be provided with a locking detent suitable to releasably engage the guide block to retain the slide arm in its initial position.
