In the mop of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a wiping cloth 1 for wiping and attaching / detaching the wiping cloth 1 are attached. It comprises a mounting head 2 for freely mounting and a handle rod 3 connected to the mounting head 2.

The wiping cloth 1 is formed of a material having elasticity and water absorbency, such as thick cloth, into a rectangular shape in a plan view as shown in FIG. Two pairs of mounting holes 4a and 4b are formed.

On the other hand, the mounting head 2 has a head plate 5 provided with two pairs of protrusions 6a, 6b fitted in the mounting holes 4a, 4b of the wiping cloth 1 near the four corners of the upper surface thereof. The handle rod 3 is connected to a handle rod mounting portion 7 formed in the center of the head plate 5 so as to be tiltable in at least one of the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the head plate 5. The head plate 5 can be formed of a material such as rubber or synthetic resin.

Two pairs of protrusions 6 on the upper surface of the head plate 5
A cap member 10 that holds the wipe 1 in a mounted state by being fitted to the protrusions 6a and 6b is detachably attached to each of the a and 6b. This cap member 1
Reference numeral 0 is made of rubber, synthetic resin, or the like, and two fitting portions 10a and 10b fitted to the pair of protrusions 6a and 6b are formed at both ends thereof and folded back to the upper surface of the head plate 5. The wiping cloth 1 is fitted into the mounting holes 4a, 4b of the wiping cloth 1 so as to straddle both end portions 1a, 1a of the wiping cloth 1.
The protrusions 6a and 6b protruding upward are fitted. As shown in FIG. 4, the cap member 10 can be fixedly or detachably fixed to the head plate 5 at an intermediate portion thereof by a suitable fixing means 11.

In the mop having the above-mentioned structure, the wiping cloth 1 is wound from the lower surface of the head plate 5 to both end portions of the upper surface, and the mounting holes 4 of both end portions 1a, 1a of the wiping cloth 1 are wound.
After the a and 4b are fitted to the projections 6a and 6b on the upper surface of the head plate 5, the cap member 10 is fitted to the projections 6a and 6b and the wiping cloth 1 is pressed so that the cap member 1
With 0, the wipe 1 is held in the mounted state. As a result, the wiping cloth 1 can be easily and surely mounted regardless of its thickness.
