Abstract

Disclosed is a holder for holding cleaning tool heads, particularly mop heads, including a central section, two latchable folding wings, which are pivotably mounted on the central section, a latching device to latch the two folding wings in a pivoted position in relation to the central section, and a device for releasing the latching of the latched folding wings in relation to the central section, such that said folding wings can be pivoted. The latching device is preloaded to the state in which the two folding wings are latched in such a manner that, when the latching is released, the holder automatically latches the folding wings by means of the latching device when the two folding wings are moved to a state in which the lower surfaces of the two folding wings are substantially in one plane.

Abstract

The invention relates to a holder (10) for holding cleaning tool heads, particularly mop heads, with a central section (12), two latchable folding wings (14), which are pivotably mounted on the central section, a latching device (17, 18) to latch the two folding wings (14) in a pivoted position in relation to the central section (12) and a device for releasing the latching of the latched folding wings (14) in relation to the central section (12) such that said folding wings (14) can be pivoted. The latching device (17, 18) is preloaded to the state in which the two folding wings (14) are latched, in such a manner that, where the latching is released, the holder (10) automatically latches the folding wings (14) by means of the latching device when the two folding wings (14) are moved to a state in which the lower surfaces of the two folding wings (14) are substantially in one plane.
