MOP HAVING ERGONOMIC HANDLE AND JOINT

WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/108016

A1

A mop pad support (10) includes a frame (20) configured to retain a mop pad, a handle (30) for controlling the frame, and a connecting mechanism (40) that connects the handle to the frame. The frame has a longitudinal direction (23) and a latitudinal direction (24). The frame is longer in the longitudinal direction than in the latitudinal direction. The handle has a shaft portion (31) that extends in a substantially longitudinal direction and a grip portion (32) that extends at an angle relative to the longitudinal direction. The grip portion is located farther from the frame than the shaft portion and has ends proximal (36) and distal (37) the shaft portion. The proximal end of the shaft portion is disposed lower than the distal end, such that the grip portion extends upward. The connecting mechanism (40) is configured to permit the handle to rotate about a first axis (42) that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the frame and to rotate about a second axis (44) that is substantially parallel to the latitudinal direction of the frame.
