Wringer
A mangle or wringer is a mechanical laundry aid consisting of two rollers in a sturdy frame, connected by cogs and (in its home version) powered by a hand crank or by electricity. While the appliance was originally used to wring water from wet laundry, today mangles are used to press or flatten sheets, tablecloths, kitchen towels, or clothing and other laundry. History Clothes press The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' dates the first use of the word in English from 1598, quoting John Florio who, in his 1598 dictionary, ''A World of Words'', described "a kind of press to press buckram, fustian, or dyed linen cloth, to make it have a luster or gloss". The word comes from the Dutch ''mangel'', from ''mangelen'' "to mangle", which in turn derives from the medieval Latin ''mango'' or ''manga'' which ultimately comes from the Greek ''manganon'', meaning "axis" or "engine".

Wringer (magic Trick)
The Wringer (also "wringer box illusion" or "mangle (machine), mangle box") is a stage magic trick. The magician places his assistant (or a shill from the audience) into a large box with a set of rollers in the front. The magician turns a crank, and the assistant emerges through the rollers, now flat as a pancake. The magician then opens the front of the box, revealing it to be empty. The magician may later restore the assistant, though this is not required. This trick can also be performed with small animals, such as ducks or rabbits. References *Dawes, A. E., et al.

The cart has two buckets with the upper one usually clipped onto the lower. The upper bucket is used to place the wet mop for storage and press handle to wring out the mop.

The smaller lower rear bucket is filled with a floor cleaning solution. Wheels are usually present to allow the user to push the cart around using the wring handle bar to steer, allowing complete mobility. These carts are usually made of heavy duty plastic and usually found in institutional, commercial or industrial settings, but can be used in the home as a more convenient and less dirty tool for cleaning floors.
