<p>A mop wringer (10) which includes a combination of a pail (12) and a lid (14) wherein the lid can be locked to the pail. A first roller (48) is mounted for rotation about a first axis (56) in the lid while the lid includes an opening and a lid panel (28) is hinged to the lid within the opening. The hinged panel rotates about a hinged axis (42) parallel to the first axis (56) and a second roller (38) is mounted to the hinged panel in an area of the hinged panel remote from the second hinged axis and where the second roller is adjacent the first roller and forms a nip (52) therebetween. Spring means (38, 50) extend between the lid and the hinged panel to urge the hinged panel towards a closed position with the first and second rollers adjacent each other, but the hinged panel can be pressed downwardly to provide access through the opening for a mop. When it is required to wring the mop the hinged panel is forced to close the opening while the mop is within the pail such that as the mop is being pulled through the nip formed by the first and second roller the mop strands are wrung.</p> |
