Abstract

A mop wringer has a long lever operating handle and mounts on the rear wall of a bucket. When so mounted the wringer is supported on the side walls of the bucket at or towards the front of the wringer by support ledges integrally moulded into the side walls of the bucket, below its upper rim. The wringer engages the bucket in a manner which opposes the tendency for the back of the wringer to lift off the bucket when an operating force is applied to the wringer handle.
