Abstract: A mopping trolley having a carriage, a mop press assembly with a discharge port, a clean receptacle for providing a source of clean liquid for mopping, and a waste receptacle for receiving waste liquid expressed from the mop press. The clean receptacle is located under the mop press so that a mop head may be dipped into the clean receptacle and lifted directly upward to the mop press, the mop head being maintained over the clean receptacle so that dripping excess fluid falls back to the clean receptacle below. In this way the amount of clean water wasted may be reduced, so that water dripping from the mop head falls back into the clean receptacle. The waste receptacle includes a portion that is positioned below the discharge port of the mop press assembly to receive waste liquid.

Abstract: A mop press for expressing liquid from a mop head is provided. The mop press includes a housing having reservoir means for receiving the expressed liquid. The reservoir means is provided with drainage means for allowing the extracted liquid to flow from the mop press in a controlled and directed manner. The reservoir means is large enough to accommodate the liquid expressed from the mop such that the mop does not reabsorb the expressed liquid collected therein.

Abstract: According to the present invention there is provided an electrical appliance having a releasable cable connector for electrically connecting the appliance to a remote power supply, wherein a first junction means is adapted to provide the releasable electrical connection between the cable connector and the appliance, characterised by the provision of a second junction means adapted to provide a non-releasable, hard-wired electrical connection between an alternative cable connector and the appliance, wherein the first junction means and the second junction means are arranged and configured so that the selection and use of one of said junctions by attachment of one cable connector precludes the simultaneous selection of the other connector.
