Abstract
A mop (10) includes a handle (11), a grip handle (12) slidably received on the handle (11), a linkage and squeeze wire assembly (13), a mounting and operating assembly (14) and a mop pad (15) carried thereby. The mounting and operating assembly (14) includes a shroud (31) carrying the handle (11) and pivotally carrying a squeeze wire (24). The shroud (31) also pivotally carries a pair of paddles (33) which carry the mop pad (15) and which are provided with wear pads (58) attached thereto. Movement of the grip handle (12) along the handle (11) causes the squeeze wire (24) to pivot via linkage (22). The squeeze wire (24) engages the wear pads (58) to pivot the paddles (33) to fold and thereby squeeze the mop pad (15).
