T o all whom it may concern.'
Bc it known that I, HENRY ARTHUR HAY- nnN, a citizen of the United States, residingv at Jersey City, in the county of Hudson 'and State of New Jersey, have invented certain which the following'is a speeiication.
This invention relates to certain improvements in mops, and more particularly to mops which are intended for Washing or cleansing floors, sidewalks, etc.
An important object of my invention is to provide a device of this character Wherein the mop and the mop holder are of elongated form and, in whichthe handleenters a socket at the rear ot. the longest vdimension of the holder, the socket being arranged at an angle to the general direction of the mop, whereby the operator gives a sidewise swingingy motion to the mop in a series of loue' sweeps, as distinguished from the ordiuary method-of manipulating such devicesfin directions toward and from the op erator. ln alavell known formof prior devices of thischaracten the mop'head com prises a rigid bar or jaw, and a movable bar between which the vtwisted cotton, cloth 4or other material used is clamped. In operating this form oi mop the saine is moved-to and from the opeator, who holds the handdlein suchma manner `that the clamping jaws oi the mop holder are transversely arranged to the direction of movement of the terial ot the mop of such construction trequently .doubles upon itself, becomes tangled and matted together, and the constant preswears out the material of the mop,.caus ing the mopholder to come in contact with the floor being' treated, and scratching the same. My invention avoids this difficulty because tion there is no liability of the trame por the floor. reason .of the elongated' shape of the frame of mymop holder a further adapted to enter the corners of rooms l,with case, .and to Vthoroughly cleanse them. f
Another important feature of my lnvencasing,V towhighthe strands .of cotton or other-materlal are secured, such casing bevupon the face of the holder.

some waterproof fabric. This casing is open at one or both ends whereby it may be quickly and'easily applied to the holder, and moreover is capable of being;y readily cleansed and kept. in a pure and sanitary condition. The material formingbT the mop being stitched to the flexible casing, there is no chance for the lodgment of germs, dirt, or other matter, as is the case with the ordinary brush head form of mop, where the bristles or strands' are secured in sockets Another .feature of my invention consists injthe provision of a mop` holder of very simp'leand convenient form, the same comprising an elongated, preferably rectangular, metal frame, which, in the form selected for illustration, is made of heavy wire as desired by tapes or any other suitable i means.
Other important features of my invention will be set forth more particularly in the pointed out inthe appended claims.

The body of the mop l may be of any suitable material as twisted cotton, cloth, sponge, etc., but preferably is composed of These strands, in my preferred construction, are stitched to the lower surface of a easing 2 made ot some flexible material, such as muslin, rubber cloth, or the like.

open for the entrance-of the holder. In the form shown in Figs. 1 end 2 of the dra-w ing, tho easing 'is provided with a series of longitudinal reinforcements in the. form of tucks whereby additional etreixgtli and dura,- bility 'are attained, there being lines oi. stitching passing transversely of the easing on its; lowei` sin-face to unite the mop man terial thereto. The easing is furthermore showy/:1e provided with spaced eyelets et both ende thereof, the same being den )ted by' the character o. These eyelets cooperate or other securing devices (l which are stitched :it suitable points near 'the eiifl The mop lioleler colnpriees n, rectangular frame meile up of n Ushape l piece of metal 9 :intl :i ehepecl costing; 7 the latter having two parallel holes drilled :it Suitable points therein to receive the ens of the U-slmped pie 9, Seid ends lieine, preferably seelnfecl therein by rivete.

To assemble the parte, the reet/:fingnler Iportion 9 of the nio-p holder `inserted in one of the openinge at the end of the liexible easing 2 of the mo :ze shown in Fig. 2.
