Sweep mops

A sweep mop pad holder for a mop pad having two ends, said holder comprising a support section having a handle mounting on its upper side, two end sections which are adapted at outer ends thereof for the attachment thereto respectively of the two ends of the mop pad, said end sections being pivotally mounted to said support section so as to project at opposite ends thereof when in a generally aligned erected position for mopping, means for releasably latching said end sections in said erected position, with one of said end sections having an inward extension beyond said handle mounting and beyond its pivotal mounting to the support section, the arrangement being such that the latching means for said end sections can be unlatched to collapse the mop holder when both of said end sections can hang down freely from the pivotal mounting to said support section for wringing out of the attached mop pad, following which said handle can be so positioned relative to said support section that the handle engages said inward extension of said one end section and can then be used to support said one end section at an inclination to the vertical suitable for the mop to be re-erected with said end sections in said generally aligned mopping position by engagement of the collapsed mop with the floor and pressing down on to the floor by an operative holding the handle.
