DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, A is a fixed body, B is a movable body, and a fixture is composed of both.
The integrally formed fixed body A is mainly composed of a handle mounting portion 11, a pivotally attaching portion 12 continuous with the handle attaching portion 11, and a sandwiching portion 13 provided at the tip of the pivotally attaching portion 12 and having a claw 14. Composed.

The handle mounting portion 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the handle 21 made of an aluminum pipe is fitted at a position where it does not protrude from the handle mounting portion 11, and a fastener 1 such as a rivet or a screw is attached.
It is fixed at 5. The pivotal portion 12 is formed in a trough shape whose upper edge is obliquely upward from the center of the front end of the handle mounting portion 11, and is substantially U-shaped with its cross-section opening upward. Longer than the pivot point 2 of the tool. Further, the sandwiching portion 13 extends from the tip of the pivotally connecting portion 12 to both sides, and the claws 14 are directed upward from the front edge.
Is protruding. Therefore, the planar shape of the fixed body A is T
Forming a glyph.

The movable body B is integrally constituted by a lever 16, a pivotally attached portion 17, and a sandwiched portion 18 having a claw 19.
The lever 16 has a U-shaped cross section that opens downward, and a pivot, such as a pin and a shaft, is pivotally attached to the pivotally attached portion 17 protruding downward and the pivotally attached portion 12 on the fixed body A side. The movable body B is pivotally attached to the fixed body A by connecting the members 20.

The tip of the pivotally attached portion 17 is extended laterally to form a sandwiched portion 18, and the claw 1 extends from the front edge of the sandwiched portion 18.
9 is projected downward. The planar shape of the entire movable body B is also T-shaped. The sandwiching portion 18 is constantly pressed toward the other sandwiching portion 3 by a spring (not shown). The lateral width of the lever 16 and the pivotally-attaching portion 18 is smaller than the width between the inner walls of the pivotally-attaching portion 12 of the fixed body A facing each other.

Therefore, the lever 16 is pressed to open both the sandwiching portions 3 and 18 until the rear end thereof is inserted between the inner walls of the pivotally attaching portion 17, and the both claws 14 and 19 are inserted into the engaging groove 33 of the mop frame 32. When the lever 16 is released after being locked, both the sandwiching parts 13 and 18 are
A flat surface portion 34 provided by cutting out the upper and lower rear surfaces of the mop frame 32 and a rear surface 35 are sandwiched and fixed.

According to the present invention, when the mop frame 32 is clamped by the clamp portions 13 and 18 so that the rear end of the lever 16 does not catch on the lower edge of the tension or the electric wire when the mop is used, The rear end of the lever 16 is arcuately convexly curved outward so that the rear end of the lever 16 is within the extension surface of the outer peripheral surface of the handle mounting portion 11 toward the pivotally attached portion 12. Further, since the rear end of the lever 16 is curved outwardly convexly, the lever 16 can smoothly escape from the obstacle even if it comes into contact with the obstacle.

Further, according to the present invention, when the mop frame 32 is sandwiched, the center line of the mop frame 32, that is, the sandwiching portion 1
The pivoting member 20 is positioned so that the sandwiching center lines 3 and 18 and the center of the pivoting member 20 are on the same line L.
Smooth opening and closing of 3,18. On the other hand, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 3, the center line of the mop frame 32 and the center of the pivot member 9 are not on the same line. Therefore, when opening the sandwiching portions 3 and 7, it is a so-called open state. Therefore, the mop frame 32 could not be sandwiched smoothly.

Further, according to the present invention, since the front and rear positions of the pivotally attaching member 20 are closer to the sandwiching portions 13 and 18 in the prior art, the lever 16 is exerted with a force smaller than that of the prior art by lever action.
To be able to operate.

[0017]

When the mop is attached, the rear end of the lever is within the extended surface of the outer peripheral surface of the handle mounting portion, so that the rear end of the lever does not get caught on the obstacle during mopping. Since the rear end portion is convexly curved outward, it is possible to smoothly escape from the obstacle and improve work efficiency.

Further, as in the embodiment, the center of the pivot member is on the sandwiching center line of both sandwiching portions, so that the mop can be easily attached.
