STANISLAW SELWA, OF LORAIN, OHIO.
CLEANER DEVICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented (let. 29,1912.
Application filed May 2'7, 1912. Serial No. 699,985.
T 0 (all whom it may concern Be it known that I, STANIsLAW SELWA, citizen of the United States, residing at Lorain, in the county of Lorain and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cleaner Devices, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to cleaners, and comprises an implementparticularly adapted for cleaning floors, cement side walks and the like.
The device embodies a casing at one lower corner of which is fixed a strip of material suitable for scrubbing or cleaning the floor or other surface, and at the other corner of which is a flexible strip capable of operation as a wiper to take up the dirty water and collect the same in the body of the casing, from which it can be emptied at times.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Referring specifically to the drawings, 6 indicates a wooden handle which is fitted at its lower end into a socket 7 which is pivoted by a bolt 12* between ears 12 fastened to the top of the case 13, whereby the handle can be swung to any desired angle to the head or casing. To hold the same as set, I provide plates 8 hinged at 8 to projections 8 on the top of the case, and said plates have a slot 8 to receive a bolt 11, projecting from the socket 7, with a wing nut 11 on the bolt to clamp the plates 8 to the socket and thus hold the handle at adjustment. The casing 13 is hollow, and the lower edges of its ends are notched as indicated at 13, and a bottom piece l3 extends partly across the bottom of the casing, from end to end, part being omitted as at 13 to form a slot through which the dirty water may be taken up. The front 14L of the casing is hinged at its lower end, as indicated at 1%, to the bottom 13, and it is provided with a catch 15 which engages a projection 23. The door or front 14: may be opened when desired to clean out the inside of the casing.
The bottom 13 forms a backing for a piece of rubber or composition 20 which is clamped to said bottom by means of an angular block 16 held by long screws 18 which extend through tubes 19 within the casing, the heads of the screws being at the top, the tubes 19 assisting in holding the parts in proper position. One edge of the strip 20 is gripped between the bottom. of the casing and the block 16, and projects to serve as a scrubber or squeegee, this edge being indicated at 20*. At the opposite edge the block 16 is cut off or curved as indicated at 16 so that the edge 20 of the rubber strip may be bent back over said edge 16 to open a slot into the casing. Normally, the elasticity of the rubber causes said edge 20 to press against the lower edge of the rear wall of the casing 13, so as to hold water therein.
In the operation of the device, water is cast on the fioor or surface to be cleaned, and the edge 20 is pulled back and forth thereon to dislodge the dirt. After this is done, the device is reversed to bring the edge 20 in contact with the floor, and then by drawing the implement backwardly across the floor said edge 20 is bent or folded back and the dirty water is gathered or caused to flow up the same into the interior of the casing where it is retained. At suitable intervals the water can be emptied from the casing through the hole 21 in the end of the casing.
What I claim as new is:
1. A cleaner head comprising a hollov. casing having an angular bottom with a slot adjacent one edge thereof, a strip of flexible material fitting against said bottom and extending at one side across said slot, and having edges projecting at opposite sides of the casing, and a block clamped against the outer side of said strip, to hold the same against the bottom of the casing, said block being cut away at the edge under said slot whereby the adjacent edge of the strip may be bent back to open said slot.
2. A cleaner head comprising a hollow casing having a slot along one edge of the bottom thereof, flexible strips extending across said bottom, and projecting respectively at opposite sides of the casing, one
