Abstract
A mop wringer (10), which is adapted to be positioned on the rim of a pail or the like, includes a body member (11) having a front wall (14). A pressure plate (30) is pivotally connected to the body member (11). The inner surface of the front wall (14) has passageways (15A) therein and the outer surface of front wall (14) is formed with a downturned lip (59) to define additional passageways (15B) below the passageways (15A). A rotatable arm (41) carries a linkage mechanism (49) which is connected to the pressure plate (30). Rotation of the arm (41) pivots the plate (30) to evacuate water out of a mop positioned between the plate (30) and the front wall (14). The water passes through the passageways (15A) and is downwardly directed in the pail through the passageways (15B) by contact with the downturned lip (59).
