Title: Wringer type mop

Abstract: A mop is provided with a fibrous yarn head, there being a ring engaging the yarn strands and forming them into loops, the ring being carried on a sleeve which is slidable and rotational over the mop handle, the handle having means projecting from one end and engaging the loop strands intermediate their ends, such that when the sleeve is in one position the strands have their intermediate portions withdrawn towards the sleeve and in cross-section define a general cardioid shape, while in another position the strands are stretched out to define a general cylindrical shape, and in the second position the strands can be wrung by a relative twisting action between the sleeve and the handle.
