  • the handle does not turn relative to the shaft, and therefore can the operator continues to advance the wringer to the degree of To increase rotation of the wring sleeve relative to the shaft without the To have to turn the operator handle itself.
  • the axial end position of the wringing sleeve is in FIG. 6 and in FIG. 7 shown.
  • the wringing sleeve is preferably long enough so that the Mop can be wholly pulled into the sleeve to get from it to be able to be compressed when the wringing sleeve is up to was advanced to this position.
  • the wringing sleeve includes preferably a free drive volume 66 near the screws 56. As shown in FIG. 7, the free drive volume 66 has one Size that allows relative rotation of the drive 58 and the Wringing sleeve 54, in which both do not interfere with each other, take.
  • the user can remove the wringing sleeve in the region of region 67 (shown in Figs. 6 and 7) take to the wringing sleeve relative to the Shaft continues to rotate and in this way further fluid from the Push out mop.
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 show the wringer in its fully retracted position Mop wiping position.
  • the mop has a holder 70, which by a Pin 71 is attached to the shaft.
  • the holder is also shown in FIGS. 11 and 12.
  • the wringer includes one Bore 72 for pin 71, the bore being exactly one accompanying shaft bore (not shown) fits.
  • the bracket further includes a retaining ring 74 which cooperates with a notch on the handle (comparable to the notch 75 on the handle 53 'in Fig. 24) to the wringer detachable and axially in the fully retracted mop wiping position hold.
