Serial No. 635,601.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that l, \liumvu J. Bxnnnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Marietta, in the county of \Vashington and l State of Ohio, have invented new and use ful Improvements in Combined Mop Holders and VVringers, of which the following is a specification. 7

The primary object-of the invention is the provision of a mop holder and wringer in which the mop cloth may be held in proper position for mopping the floor, and can be wrung out for freeing the same from surplus water.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a mop holder and wringer in which 4 the cloth thereof may be distended and retracted during the mopping of a floor, for the thorough cleaning thereof, and also that Will permit the wringing of the cloth without the splashing of water contained therein, and at the same time avoiding the necessity of manually handling the cloth for this purpose. Y v

A further object of the invention is the provision of a combined mop holder and character which is simple thoroughly reliable and ellislide S, the same being turned ears 9, through which are passed pivots 10, the same being also passed through the depending ears of the ferrule or socket extension.

Engaged in the slide comprising a wire frame 11, the latter being formed preferably of wire bent to provide spaced side limbs 12 uniting front and rear end loops 13 and 14, respectively. Passed through the front loop 13 is an endless mop cloth 15, the same being also passed through "a loop 16 formed on a turning shank 17, the latter being pivoted in the ferrule and the handle engaged therein, and terminates in a right angular crank handle 18, the shank 16 being journaled at a point rearwardly of the depending ears of the ferrule or socket extension, so that upon turning the crank handle 18 when the mop holder has been swung to right angles to' the axis of the handle 5, the mop cloth may be twisted and wrung, so as to free water therefrom, without manual handling of the mop cloth.

Formed in the side limbs of the mop holder are abutment shoulders 19 which limit the forward movement of the slide 8 upon the said limbs, when the mop cloth is engaged with the floor, and by reason of the pivotal connection of the slide with the de pending ears of the ferrule or tubular socket extension 6, the handle 5 may be raised and lowered for exerting the required pressure upon the mop cloth, during the mopping operation, the slide 8 being free to move forwardly and rcarwardly into contacting relation with the shoulders 19' and the rear loop 12. I

From the foregoing, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it is thought that the construction and operation of the invention will. be readily understood, without requiring a more extended explanation.

What is claimed is:

1. A device of the class described, comprising a socket extension adapted to receive a handle, a slide pivotally connected to the socket extension at one side thereof, a mop holding frame slidably engaged in the slide, a wringing device mounted in the socket member, and a mop cloth engaged with the mop holding frame and the said wringing I device.

2. A device of the class described, comformed with up- 8 is a mop holder,

"Fig. 8 is a side elevation, showing the cloth twisted for the wringing of surplus water, therefrom. Fig. 4 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of the device. Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional View of the device.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the'drawings. v 1 Referring to the drawings by numerals,

and wringer comin a ferrule or tubular sotket extension 6, the latter being formed with spaced parallel ears 7, to which is pivotally connected a prising a socket extension adapted to re ceive a handle, a'slide pivotally connected to the socket exten'sionat one side thereof,

a mop holding frame, slidably engaged in the slide, a wringing device mounted in the socket member, a mopcloth engaged with the mop holding frame and the said wringing device, and bends formed in the mop holding 'frame to limit the movement of the slide thereon.

3. A device of the class described, comprising a handle, a socket extension mounted upon one end of the handle and having spaced parallel ears projectin outwardl from one. side thereof, a slide member pivotally connected to the ears, a mo holder slidably connected in the slide an having loop ends, a mop cloth engaged in one of the WILLIAM J.
