Abstract

The present invention provides a wring mop with a lever handle. The handle adds leverage and torque to the wringing operation of the mop head. A more thorough wringing is achieved with more liquid removed from the mop.

a sleeve on the second end, the sleeve having an inner surface and a lever handle extending at a substantially right angle from the sleeve;

a plurality of ribs, said ribs formed on the outer surface of the handle and the inner surface of the sleeve, whereby said ribs allow the sleeve to be held in an elevated position;

engagement means in the sleeve constructed and arranged to engage the mop strands;

wherein the sleeve is constructed and arranged to slide and rotate around the handle to facilitate a wringing action on the strands in conjunction with the engagement means.

2. The mop of claim 1 wherein the handle further comprises a bore.
