Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9909876A1] Disclosed is a butterfly mop having an elongate shaft (21) with a channel body (50) disposed at one end of the shaft, the channel body having first and second leg portions (51, 52) defining a channel therebetween, the mop further having a mop element (26) including a foldable, compressible, liquid-absorbent member. The mop element and channel body are hingedly movable along a hinge line (62) relative to one another, whereby the mop element may be drawn into the channel causing the mop element to fold along a transverse axis and to become compressed between the channel body leg portions. A manual actuation mechanism includes a handle (66) and a tension rod (68) connecting the handle to one of the mop element and channel body for effecting relative hinged movement thereof. The mop element preferably includes plural pairs of apertures (135-138) for allowing mounting of the mop element to variously sized mop element supports.
