Abstract (en)
A mop (10) has an angled handle (12) and a working end (24) with a pair of opposed rollers (30). An actuator (14) on the mop (10) can be moved between a replacement position, a wringing position, and an intermediate use position. When in the replacement position, a mop head (16) can be removably attached to the working end (24) of the handle (12) by sliding the mop head (16) sideways so an arm (82) on a connector (18) passes between a shoulder (72) and a bridge (70) on the mop head (16). The connector (18) has a loop (84) at its upper end, and is connected to a slotted mounting stem (48) on an actuator (14). The mop head (16) is also provided with a threaded aperture (74) and slots (76), allowing it to be used in other mops. <IMAGE>
