Abstract

In a mop head which can be fitted on a mop holder having two flaps which can be folded back upon each other, with the mop head including two pouches on its upper side, and an additional securing device allocated to one pouch, a system is provided to facilitate the securing of the strap to the end of the flap in the locked position of use. This is achieved in that the securing device is a strap or retaining plate having two elongated holes or slots, the plate being fitted to a fabric covering of the mop head at its short end, with screw-head-like projecting securing means corresponding to the elongated holes on one of the flaps, whereby the elongated holes have a longitudinal extension permitting insertion in the pouch and the release of the flap end from the pouch, on the relative movement of the flap and strap, and the securing means lie against the edge of the elongated hole towards the short end with the mop head secured in the operative position, and lie against the edge of the elongated hole towards the handle when the flaps are folded.
