Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006002652A1] The invention relates to a mop holder for mounting a mop cover, comprising at least two elongated wings (4, 4') hinge-connected together either directly form­ing a single folding axis (3) or indirectly forming more than one folding axis, wherein the wings (4, 4') form wiping surfaces for cooperation with a mop cover (2) in an operative position of the wings (4, 4'), a handle holder (7) and/or handle (8) hinge-connected to the wings (4, 4') by means of a swiveling means (10), de­ fining a swiveling axis (10% which extends essentially parallel to the folding axis (3) or folding axes of the wings (4, 4') at least in the operative position of the wings (4, 4'), a detachable connecting means (11) for fixedly holding the wings (4, 4') in their operative position, and a detaching means (12) for detaching wings (4, 4') to release them into a fold-away release position. It is improved in that the handle holder (7) or the handle (8) is attached to the swiveling means (10) so that the longitudinal axis (7´) of the handle holder (7) and/or the handle (8) in an upright position thereof is oriented essentially per­ pendicular to the folding axis (3) or folding axes of the wings (4, 4), the detach­ing means (12) is positioned on the handle holder (7) or the handle (8) and the detaching means (12) interacts with the wings (4, 4') in a way that abruptly twisting the handle holder (7) and/or the handle (8) about the longitudinal axis (T) thereof detaches the detachable connecting means (11) due to the inertia of the wings (4, 4') and releases the wings (4, 4').
