Abstract
Pad holder includes a generally flat rectangular mounting plate or head having a front or bottom side to which the pad is attached and a top or back side having a plurality of spaced-apart ribs thereon terminating in a common plane substantially parallel to the planar bottom side of the mounting plate to provide for the transfer of pressure from the wringer plates of a conventional mop wringer to the pad through the ribs to squeeze out the pad. The ribs provide for the recess mounting of a hinge member to the back side of the mounting plate. The hinge member permits a handle socket connected thereto to be pivoted up against the back side of the mounting plate below the tops of the ribs where it will not interfere with the pressure engagement of the wringer plates with the ribs and pad, respectively, during wringing out of the pad. The ribs are preferably open or slotted at least at one end thereof to permit water to flow freely between the ribs and back into a mop bucket or the like as the pad is being wrung out.
