Invention embodiments comprise two separate and distinct parts, a mop support device and a cap embodying a tubular portion defining a through passage which is tapped intermediate its ends, to enable a secure balanced connection thereof to a mop handle. In the embodiment illustrated the mop support device is comprised of a narrow elongated plate-like saddle portion one face of which mounts a plurality of parallel, relatively spaced, perpendicularly projected pins and coupling elements which project therefrom in generally the same direction as the pins. Projected portions of said coupling elements interrelate with complementary engaging elements disposed within and forming part of the cap. The mop support device is easily applied to and through a mop to establish its saddle portion and pins in underlying engaged relation to a distinct portion of the applied mop which is set within the limits of its projected coupling elements. Upon coupling the mop support device to the cap, the portion of the mop supported thereby and engaged by its pins is clamped to longitudinally spaced lower edges of plate-like ribs formed within said cap. Said pins and said plate-like ribs are so positioned and interrelated as to firmly engage the portion of the mop therebetween in a relatively offset relation, by virtue of which the mop is securely but releasably anchored to its connector in a positively balanced condition which lends optimal ease and efficiency in use thereof.
