Abstract
A holder for securing mop at the end of a handle, in which a plurality of relatively moveable, absorbent strips made of a textile material are affixed as a result of being clamped between a headpiece and a plate, essentially at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the handle. In the region where the strips are fastened, the holder has a surface area having a length greater than its width, and boundary edges of which are curved to form two corners, without changing the direction of the curvature.
Claims21
A holder for securing a mop to an end of a handle, the mop including a plurality of relatively movable and absorbent strips of a textile material, the holder comprising:
- a headpiece including at least two edge regions configured to cooperate with the strips, a ratio of a length of the headpiece to a width of the headpiece being between 1.2 and 4;
- and
- plate, the strips being clampingly engageable between the headpiece and the plate;
- wherein the edge regions extend in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the holder, each of the edge regions having a radius of curvature that is between 0.61 and 4.25 times the width of the headpiece, the radius of curvature being one of the following:
- a) a constant radius of curvature, and
- b) a sectionally changing radius of curvature.
