Abstract: A mop having a sponge mop pad is effective for cleaning in a hospital for avoidance of internal infection. In a conventional sponge mop, for washing off dust and dirt sticking to the mop after used for the cleaning, spring force has been used for folding the sponge mop pad at the middle position thereof to squeeze off the water contained in the mop by compression force. This requires a large force and workers, especially women workers, had a difficulty in the cleaning work. In the present invention, the mop having the sponge mop pad comprises a projection and the mop squeezer comprises an insert member into which the projection is inserted. By the principle of lever, the sponge mop pad is easily squeezed by homogenous compression force and predetermined water content of the mop, after squeezed, can be realized.

Abstract: A semiconductor controlled rectifier of an asymmetrical construction which, only when supplied with a reverse surge voltage, is turned on in the reverse direction comprising a semi-conductor body having three contiguous regions forming an inner region of one conductivity type and two outer regions of the opposite conductivity type, a first external region of the one conductivity type provided adjacent a first one of said outer regions, a second external region of the one conductivity type provided adjacent a second one of said outer regions, said external regions being positioned in such a manner that a portion of each said outer regions is exposed, a cathode electrode in conductivity contact with said first external region, an anode electrode in conductive contact with said second external region and said exposed portion of the said second outer region, and a gate electrode in conductive contact with said exposed portion of first outer region, the cathode electrode and the second external region overlapping
