MOPHALTER

A sweep mop pad holder comprises a central support section (1) with a handle mounting (3) on its upper side, and two end sections (4, 5). The end sections (4, 5) are pivotally mounted on the central support section (1) and they engage a mop pad (10) which is thereby securely held on the pad holder, with the end sections (4, 5) retained in a generally aligned erected position. The first end section (4) is extended inwardly beyond the handle mounting (3) so that whereas with the holder collapsed both end sections (4, 5) can hang down freely for wringing out of the mop pad (10), the handle can be so positioned relatively to the support section (1) that it engages the inward extension of the first end section (4) and can be used to support that end section (4) so that the mop can be re-erected by engagement of the collapsed mop with the floor by an operative holding the handle.
