Abstract
Dust mop frame includes a plastic molded base member having a substantially flat bottom surface for applying uniform pressure over substantially the entire surface of the dust mop and a rigid hinge member securely molded in place in spaced relation to the back side of the base member to facilitate attachment of a handle to the dust mop frame. The hinge member is supported adjacent its ends by a pair of laterally spaced, transversely extending ribs integrally molded to the back side of the base member. The ends of the hinge member extend completely through the transverse ribs into a pair of longitudinally extending ribs integral with the axial outer sides of the transverse ribs intermediate the ends thereof and also integral with a peripheral rib around the outer edge of the base member. The ends of the hinge member then extend downwardly and inwardly back on themselves at an angle, and are of a length such that they extend vertically within the longitudinal ribs for a substantial portion of the height thereof and back into the transverse ribs adjacent the base member.
