Abstract:

A sponge-holding device is provided for the releasable engagement of sponges as may be used in a sponge mop. The device is comprised of a base plate having mounting means for pivoted attachment of the extremity of an elongated handle, and a pair of holding pins for securing a rectangular sponge to the underside of the base plate. The holding pins, having a pointed extremity, are caused to pass through an aperture in the base plate, penetrate the sponge, and engage further supporting structure on the underside of the base plate.
