A mop wringer and handle stabilizer for a mop bucket fitted with a mop wringer and a bucket handle, which in a first embodiment includes a wire clip pivotally mounted on the mop bucket handle and designed for manipulating and tensioning the wire clip on the mop wringer and stabilizing the mop wringer on the mop bucket. A handle bend is optionally provided in the bucket handle for receiving the mop handle of a mop located in the mop bucket and stabilizing the mop in the mop bucket. A wringer handle adaptor is attached to the mop wringer compression handle and is configured and located to optionally receive and stabilize the mop handle when the mop is located in the mop wringer. In a second embodiment the clip element includes a plate shaped to define an engaging member, front leg, top leg and rear leg combination that pivotally mounts on the bucket handle by means of a reverse bend extending from the rear leg. The plate clip selectively engages and disengages the mop wringer and stabilizes the mop wringer on the mop bucket.
A device for stabilizing a mop having a mop handle in a mop bucket provided with a mop wringer and having a bucket handle, said device comprising a one-piece wire clip constructed so as to pivotally mount on the bucket handle and selectively engaging the mop wringer and exerting tension on the bucket handle and the mop wringer.
A mop wringer assembly having a wringer handle, a wringer reservoir and a wringer rim on a mop bucket having a pivoting bucket handle, a bucket reservoir configured to receive a mop having a mop handle, and a stabilizing member, said stabilizer member comprising a wire clip pivotally carried by the bucket handle constructed so as to engage the wringer rim and tension the bucket handle and the mop wringer assembly;
A method for stabilizing a mop wringer on a mop bucket having a bucket handle and a bucket reservoir for receiving a mop having a mop handle, comprising the steps of providing a wire clip pivotally mounted on the bucket handle and selectively engaging the mop wringer and tensioning the bucket handle and the mop wringer.
