(54) | Mop wringer and bucket assembly |
(57) Mop bucket assembly for use with a wringer device (5) and a mop, including a container
(1) having partition elements (11-13) dividing the container (1) into compartments
(14-16). A first compartment (14) contains a liquid for rinsing a mop head after mopping.
A second compartment (15) receives a liquid extracted from the mop head by the wringer
device (5). A third compartment (16) contains a cleaning solution. A housing (6) is
received in the third compartment (16), and a flexible bladder (7) is disposed in
the housing (6) and is in fluid communication with the third compartment (16). The
flexible bladder (7) contains a supply of cleaning solution. Liquid extracted from
the mop head by the wringer device (5) flows through an opening in one of the partition
elements (16) and places pressure on the flexible bladder (7), causing the cleaning
solution in the flexible bladder (7) to flow into the third compartment (16) to maintain
a desired level of cleaning solution in the third compartment (16).
