Abstract

A collapsible mop pad holder comprises two opposite end leaves pivotally mounted on a central support which is connectible to a handle, and a catch operative to latch the end leaves in an erected condition. The catch comprises a latch member pivotally mounted on one of the leaves and depressible from a latching position, in which it engages the other leaf to latch both leaves together and thus maintains the erected condition of the holder, to an unlatching position in which it is retained until the mop pad holder is collapsed. The arrangement is such that on re-erection of the mop pad holder the latch member automatically re-assumes the latching position.
