Abstract
A wringing tool for mops having a box structure without a top cover or a bottom cover. Its top and bottom openings enable mops and their supports to pass through the tool for rinsing in a basin below the wringing tool. The oscillatory movement of the pressure roller is carried out by a control hand lever integral with an inner toothed gear which meshes with a gear placed on a shaft which is integral with oscillation levers supporting a pressure roller. The pressure roller works against a curved wall.

A wringing tool for a mop which comprises a shaped box structure (1), which is open at the top and at the bottom having two opposed side walls (4,5) providing assembly seats, a lever (7) supporting a wringing roller (6) at one end and attached at the other end to a pivot shaft (8) mounted within the seats in the structure's side walls (4,5), a hand lever shaft (9), a hand lever (15) attached to one end of lever shaft (9) and a gear (17) mounted adjacent said one end of shaft (9), a gear (16) mounted on pivot shaft (8) and drivingly engaged with gear (17), such that oscillating movement of lever (15) causes pivotal movement of lever (7) and roller (6), a wringing wall (3) linking said side wall's (4,5) having a curvilinear shaped wringing surface engaged by said wringing roller (6) during oscillatory movement of the roller and wringing of mops, characterized by the transfer of motion from hand lever (15) to the lever (7) of the wringing roller (6) by means of said gears (16, 17) placed one inside the other one.
