Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing device which can be used to dispense a metered volume of a flowable material such as a liquid, gel or paste product from a reservoir. The invention provides a pump for dispensing a flowable material from a container, the pump including a pump body which is deformable between a rest configuration and a squeezed configuration, the internal capacity of the pump body being substantially reduced in the squeezed configuration compared to the rest configuration.

Abstract: A mop squeezing device is provided for co-operation with a mop head of a mop (49). The mop (49) has a mop head backing (53) which carries mop material (55). The device has a mop surface engaging face (17) and displaced opposite said face (17) abutment means (19). In use the mop head is placed between the mop surface engaging face (17) and the abutment means (19) and the handle of the mop cranked. This, in turn, compresses the mop material (55) and squeezes liquid from the mop material (55). A mop having a backing for mop material is also provided. A two axis swivel connector is provided between the mop head and a mop handle. This allows the mop head to assume multi-axis of orientation during operation.
