- 2 -difference in the appearance of the mop head in the manufactured state and when it is being used as intended under the influence of water and/or heat.
Said object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claims 1 and 10. The subclaims refer to advantageous designs.
To achieve the object, a mop head is provided, comprising a support body and textile fringes which extend in the longitudinal direction, wherein the fringes are each secured on the support body at the one end in the longitudinal direction and comprise an opposite end in at the other end the longitudinal direction, wherein at least one fringe includes at least two strands with a first strand and a second strand, wherein the strands touch one another in a directly abutting manner, wherein each strand comprises the same length as a result of manufacturing processes, wherein the strands comprise shrink characteristics in the longitudinal direction which, because of the materials used, deviate from one another under the effect of water and/or heat when the mop head is used as intended and wherein the strands are fixed together by at least one fixing in the longitudinal direction in such a manner that the strands are kept at the same length when the mop head is used in the manner intended.
In addition, to achieve the object a mop is provided which includes the previously described mop head, the mop head being connected to a handle.
In this connection, it is advantageous that the strands, which are used in a fringe, are easily adaptable to the respective conditions of the application. Thus, it is possible, for example, to design one of the strands such that it may absorb or output a comparatively large amount

In addition, to achieve the object a mop is provided which includes the previously described mop head, the mop head being connected to a handle.
In this connection, it is advantageous that the strands, which are used in a fringe, are easily adaptable to the respective conditions of the application. Thus, it is possible, for example, to design one of the strands such that it may absorb or output a comparatively large amount
- 3 -of cleaning liquid, that said strand therefore comprises substantially sponge-like performance characteristics. At least one further strand, which comprises performance characteristics which deviate from this, can be used in the same fringe. The deviating performance characteristics can consist in that the second strand has more abrasive performance characteristics and consists of a textile material which in practice neither absorbs nor outputs the cleaning liquid. One and the same fringe is consequently realized in a multifunctional manner and is, for example, well suited first of all to moisten the surface to be cleaned, then to remove contaminants abrasively from the surface to be cleaned and then, once the mop head has been rinsed and wrung out, to absorb the moisture again from the previously cleaned surface.
Different textile materials in a fringe frequently have shrink characteristics in the longitudinal direction which, under the influence of water and/or heat, deviate from one another due to the material-specific properties. Thus, for example when the mop head is used as intended, it is possible for the second strand to shrink more strongly, with reference to the first strand, in the longitudinal direction under the influence of water and/or heat. As a result, the quality of the cleaning result would be impaired.
In addition, it would be a disadvantage that the mop head would look less aesthetically pleasing as a result of the varying degrees of shrinkage of the strands.
In order to exclude the previously named disadvantages, it is consequently provided according to the invention to balance out said varying degrees of shrinkage of the strands as a result of the strands of the fringe being fixed together in the longitudinal direction by means of the

In addition, it would be a disadvantage that the mop head would look less aesthetically pleasing as a result of the varying degrees of shrinkage of the strands.
In order to exclude the previously named disadvantages, it is consequently provided according to the invention to balance out said varying degrees of shrinkage of the strands as a result of the strands of the fringe being fixed together in the longitudinal direction by means of the
- 4 -fixing in such a manner that the strands are kept at the same length when the mop head is used in the manner intended. As a result, the strands of the fringe always comprise the same length even under the influence of water and/or heat. The fringe consequently comprises matching performance characteristics over its entire length from the support body to the opposite end. Both strands are effective, therefore, even in the region of the opposite end of the fringe, and the mop head, even when it is being used as intended, also comprises an appearance which does not differ in practice from the appearance in the manufactured state.
The fixing can be realized as a retaining thread system.
The retaining thread system can include at least one retaining thread, which is realized, for example, as a retaining mesh.
The fixing does not modify its length, irrespective of the influence of water and/or heat.
The fixing causes the strand, which has a larger degree of shrinkage under the influence of water and/or heat when the mop head is used as intended, to compress the adjacent strand with the relatively smaller degree of shrinkage in a corresponding manner. As a result of the compression of the strand with the relatively smaller degree of shrinkage, this then comprises for the most part a more voluminous shape which contributes toward a further improvement in the cleaning result.
Length differences between strands adjacent to one another from normally to up to 40% can be easily balanced out by the fixing.
All textile fringes of a mop head can be realized as described previously.
The fixing can be realized as a retaining thread system.
The retaining thread system can include at least one retaining thread, which is realized, for example, as a retaining mesh.

Length differences between strands adjacent to one another from normally to up to 40% can be easily balanced out by the fixing.
All textile fringes of a mop head can be realized as described previously.
- 5 -According to another design, it can be advantageous for only the textile fringes arranged on the surface of the mop head to be realized as described previously. Textile fringes, which are designed in a manner deviating from this, can be provided within a bell-shaped mop head. As a result, the mop head can be adapted in an even better manner to the respective conditions of the application depending on how the mop, provided with the mop head, is guided over the surface to be cleaned by the user.
The fringes on the circumferentially outer surface of the mop head have different performance characteristics to the inner fringes.
According to an advantageous design, it can be provided that the fixing of the fringe is formed by at least one retaining thread system which extends substantially transversally to the longitudinal direction.
The retaining thread system can include at least one retaining thread, which is realized, for example, as a retaining mesh.
As a result of the retaining thread system extending transversely to the longitudinal direction, there is an interlocking effect, active in the longitudinal direction, between the strands arranged adjacent to one another. A
relative displacement of the strands adjacent to one another, which would result in strands of different lengths, is excluded as a result. The fringe is constricted in the region of the retaining thread system, as a result of which, when viewed in the longitudinal direction, a relatively more voluminous shape of the fringe is produced on both sides of the constriction. When the mop head is used as intended, the strand with the relatively smaller degree of shrinkage becomes more voluminous as a result of its compression and the cleaning result is improved.

When the mop head is used as intended, the strand with the relatively smaller degree of shrinkage becomes more voluminous as a result of its compression and the cleaning result is improved.
- 6 -The retaining thread system can be formed by a retaining mesh of twine. The retaining mesh is designed, in this case, such that it ensures reliable fixing of the strands fixed together even when the mop head is used over a long service life.
The retaining thread system can surround the fringe circumferentially in the longitudinal direction on at least one point of its extent. In order to reduce the mechanical load of the retaining thread system, it is, however, sensible to provide multiple points in the longitudinal direction of the fringe which are surrounded circumferentially by the retaining thread system. The mechanical load of the retaining thread system is generated as a result of the strand with a relatively larger degree of shrinkage compressing the strand with a relatively smaller degree of shrinkage and the retaining thread system having to fix the strand with the relatively smaller amount of shrinkage nevertheless to the strand with the relatively larger amount of shrinkage in the region of the retaining thread system. A relative movement between the strands in the region of the retaining thread system is excluded.
Varying degrees of shrinkage of the strands can be balanced out particularly well as a result of the retaining thread system surrounding the fringe circumferentially in the longitudinal direction from the support body to the opposite end. For example, it is possible for the retaining thread system to surround the fringe, when viewed in the longitudinal direction, in an even and circumferential manner, particularly preferred in a substantially screw-thread-shaped manner.
According to an advantageous design, it can be provided that the retaining thread system includes retaining threads, for example retaining meshes which, when viewed

According to an advantageous design, it can be provided that the retaining thread system includes retaining threads, for example retaining meshes which, when viewed
- 7 -in the longitudinal direction of the fringe, are each at a width relative to one another which corresponds, for instance, to the thickness of the fringe. As a result, the various strands are fixed to one another reliably in the longitudinal direction, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, such a fringe comprises a sufficient amount of cleaning surface in order to be able to clean a surface to be cleaned quickly and thoroughly.
For domestic applications, it has proved to be advantageous when the retaining thread system is at a regular distance.
Between the support body and the opposite end, the strands, when viewed in the longitudinal direction, are fixed together, for example, approximately every centimeter in order, in this way, to fix the strands together reliably, to balance out the different degrees of shrinkage of the strands and to obtain the aesthetically pleasing appearance of the mop head under all operating conditions.
The strands can be arranged parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction. The fringe then comprises a substantially rectangular cross section and precisely defined regions with different performance characteristics.
Deviating from this, the strands can surround one another in a helical manner.
The fringe then comprises a substantially round cross section, the regions with different performance characteristics, when viewed in the wiping direction, are realized merging into one another.
According to a particularly advantageous design, it can be provided that the strands are arranged parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction, that the fringe comprises at least three strands, two strands being realized in a matching manner, including matching first threads and comprising the same degree of shrinkage when

It is advantageous, in this connection, that the mutual supporting effect of the strands with different degrees of shrinkage is particularly good. There is additionally a pleasing appearance of the mop head/of the mop as a result of the symmetry. It is also possible to use three strands, each with different materials.
The second threads can absorb or output less cleaning liquid when the mop head is used as intended and/or can comprise less abrasive performance characteristics than the first threads. The mop head, as a result, is also well suited to cleaning more heavily contaminated surfaces.
The previously described mop head can be connected to a handle and, as a result, forms a mop which comprises the previously described, advantageous characteristics.

Realization of the invention Figure 1 shows a bell-shaped mop head which together with the handle 13 forms a mop.
The mop head includes a support body 1 produced from a polymer material. The textile fringes 2, which are each fixed on the support body 1, extend in the shape of a bell to their opposite end 4 in the longitudinal direction 3.
The opposite end 4 is realized as a free end in the exemplary embodiment shown here but can also be realized in loop-shaped manner.
The fringes 2 form the circumferentially outer surface of the mop head; further fringes, which are realized in a deviating manner, for example in homogeneous materials, are arranged in the interior of the mop head, that is to say, under the fringes 2.
In the exemplary embodiment shown, the fringes 2 include three strands 5a, 5b, 6, two of the strands 5a, 5b being realized in a matching manner. The strands 5a, 5b consequently comprise matching first threads 7 which are well suited for absorbing or outputting cleaning liquid.
The second strand 6, which includes the second threads 8, is realized in a manner deviating therefrom, the second threads 8, compared to the first threads 7, absorbing or outputting less cleaning liquid and comprising more abrasive performance characteristics.
As a result of the different materials from which the first threads 7 and the second threads 8 are made, the degree of shrinkage of said threads under the effect of water and/or heat differs from one another because of the materials used.

The second strand 6, which includes the second threads 8, is realized in a manner deviating therefrom, the second threads 8, compared to the first threads 7, absorbing or outputting less cleaning liquid and comprising more abrasive performance characteristics.
As a result of the different materials from which the first threads 7 and the second threads 8 are made, the degree of shrinkage of said threads under the effect of water and/or heat differs from one another because of the materials used.
- 10 -Under the previously described conditions, the degree of shrinkage of the second threads 8 is greater than the degree of shrinkage of the first threads 7. As a result, the degree of shrinkage of the second strand 6 under the influence of water and/or heat when the mop head is used as intended is greater than that of the strands 5a, 5b because of the materials used.
The fixing 10 is formed by a retaining thread system and fixes the strands 5a, 5b, 6 together in the longitudinal direction 3. The achievement of said interlocking effect on each of the respectively adjacent strands 5a, 6; 6, 5b is that, when the mop head is used as intended, the strands 5a, 5b, 6 are always of an identical length 9, as a result the fringes 2, from the support body 1 to their opposite end 4 in the longitudinal direction 3, clean well in a matching manner and comprise an appearance which is always the same.
The fixing 10 is formed by the retaining mesh 11, the retaining mesh 11 being at a substantially identical distance from the support body 1 to the opposite end 4 of the fringes 2. The retaining mesh 11 extends substantially transversely to the longitudinal direction 3 of the fringes 2 so that, as a result, the strands 5a, 5b, 6 interlock mechanically together in the longitudinal direction 3 and they are always fixed relative to one another in the position shown here.
The points 12 at which the fringes 2 are constricted by the retaining mesh 11 extend, when viewed in the longitudinal direction 3, substantially uniformly from the support body 1 to the opposite end 4.
Generally speaking, it is possible for at least one fringe of the mop head to comprise, for example, only two strands or more than three strands. If a double grouping is used,

- 11 -the two strands can be arranged in such a manner that they surround each other in a helical manner.
For domestic applications, it has proved to be advantageous when the retaining mesh 11 comprises a mesh width of approximately 1 cm. The strands 5a, 5b, 6, when viewed in the longitudinal direction 13, are therefore fixed together approximately every centimeter between the support body 1 and the opposite end 4 in order, in this way, to balance out the different degrees of shrinkage of the strands 5a, 5b, 6 and to obtain the aesthetically pleasing appearance of the mop head.
