Definitions

• the invention relates to a mop with a handle with a handle and a wiper formed from absorbent cords (fringes), which is releasably fixed at one end to a displaceable and rotatable clamping and wringing part relative to the handle.
• the tensioning and wringing part is designed simultaneously as a handle and to wring out the wiper cords, the tensioning and wringing part must be rotated by hand around the handle so that the the hand grasping the tensioning and wringing part, in addition to the displacement movement, has to carry out an additional twisting movement in a cumbersome manner, which does not always lead to optimal wringing out of the wiper cords.
• the object of the invention is to improve the handling of a mop constructed according to the type mentioned at the beginning for wringing out the wiper cords and to bring about the wringing out process automatically when the tensioning and wringing part is moved.
• the mop according to the invention has been improved in its handling in a simple manner for the wringing process by automatically twisting the instep by arranging a grip part around the tensioning and wringing part and interposing a thread when the tensioning and wringing part is moved into the tensioning position - And wringing part is brought about, whereby the wiper cords are turned into the wringing position.
• the additional twisting of the tensioning and wringing part by hand, which was previously required, is no longer necessary, but only the displacement movement inevitably causes the wringing twist, which has an extremely favorable effect on the handling of the mop.
• the mop is easy to set up and manufacture in the area of the tensioning and wringing part and the additional handle part and shows a durable design and safe function.
• the wiper of the mop according to the invention is formed into loops at its wiper end assigned to the tensioning and wringing part and is pulled together by means of a tension cord looping through these loops to form a loop ring and clamped in an annular groove of the tensioning and wringing part and then through the around a holding head of the tension - and Auswringmaschines repeatedly wrapped tension cord on the tensioning and wringing part held securely and releasably.
• the wiper can also be quickly removed from the tensioning and wringing part in just a few simple steps.
• the other end of the wiper is also easily detachably held by a screw cap in a threaded bushing of the handle, so that the entire wiper can be detached from the handle very quickly and easily for cleaning and can also be attached to it again.
