Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2439273A] A combination mop bucket and wringer unit 10 comprises a mop bucket 12 having a bottom surface 16 and a peripheral wall 18 which upstands from the bottom surface 16, a mechanical press wringer 14 which is supportable on the upper edge 30 of the peripheral wall 18 of the mop bucket 12, and means for releasably engaging the mechanical press wringer 14 with the bucket 12 to prevent separation of the mop bucket 12 and the mechanical press wringer 14. The peripheral wall 18 has an upper edge 30 which defines an opening 32 of the mop bucket 12. The mechanical press wringer 14 has a wringing basket 40 for receiving absorbent mop material, one or more movable press elements 44 for exerting a squeezing force on the mop material when in the wringing basket 40, a press mechanism 46 for moving the or each press element, and a handle 48 for operating the press mechanism. The releasable engaging means includes a pivotable clip 74 on two opposing sides of the combination mop bucket and wringer unit 10 and an engagable element 76 with which a respective pivotable clip 74 can be snap-fit releasably engaged, each said pivotable clip 74 being formed independently of the mop bucket 12 and the mechanical press wringer 14 and being pivotably engaged with one of the mop bucket 12 and the mechanical press wringer 14, and the said engagable element 76 being provided on the other one of the mop bucket 12 and the mechanical press wringer 14.
