DEVICE FOR WRINGING MOPS.
APPLICATION FILED JUNE 24, 1912.
Patented Feb. 24, 1914.
EDVVAED ROSENFELD, 0F COLUMBUS, OHIO.
DEVICE FOR- WRINGING MOPS.
inseam.
Application filed June 24, 1912.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that l, EDWARD Rosnnrnnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Wringing Mops, of which the following is a specification.
My invention pertains to devices for wringing mops and particularly relates to that class of devices designed to be removably attached to a bucket and to afford a simple and efficacious means for wringing a mop with a minimum difiiculty and a maximum efiectiveness.
My invention is extremely simple and requires no more than a placing of the mop within a certain confined area and a twist ing thereof.
The device is formed practically of three main parts, the mop receiving member, the wringing member and the attaching member, and these parts are readily assembled and produce a rigid structure which is preferably of cylindrical form and provided with a clamp for attachment to the side of a bucket.
Although my invention is normally utilized as a mop wringer it is portable and so constructed that it may be readily converted into a flat iron holder by simply detaching it from the bucket and inverting it in a manner shown in one of the figures of the appended drawing forming a part of this specification.
The preferred embodiment of my invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which similar characters of reference designate corresponding parts, and in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pail with my improved mop wringer attached thereto, Fig. 2 is a detail in perspective of the upper cross strip utilized in the formation of my mop wringer, Fig. 3 is a detail of the intermediate cross strip utilized, Fig. 4: is a detail of the lower cross strip, and, Fig. 5 is a perspective view of my mop wringer inverted to be utilized as an iron holder.
Specification. of Letters Patent.
Patented F eb. 24., 1914.
Serial No. 705,526.
In structiu'e, the mop wringer is formed from a single strip of metal bent to cylindrical form as at l and having its upper edge rolled as at 2 to eliminate unnecessary sharp edges and preclude danger to the operator, such as cutting of his hands upon a jagged edge. Furthermore, the cylindrical bandlike structure is desirably formed with an integral ridge 3 and its base is closed by a spider-like structure 4 comprising inten fitting strips 5, 6 and 7. In form, these strips are slightly different, the lower strip being cut out upon its upper edge as at 8, the intermediate strip being cut out upon both edges as at 9 and 10 and the upper strip being cut out upon its lower edge as at 11. These cut out portions are caused to inter-tit to form the spider shown assembled in. Figs. 1 and 5 and the ends of the strips 5, 6 and 7 are rigidly secured to the bandlike structure 1, preferably by riveting. Disposed upon the outside of the band-like structure 1, I desirably provide a U-shaped clamp member 12 having a clamping screw 13 and this U-shaped clamp member is de signed to straddle the side of a pail and to be rigidly clamped thereon by the clamping screw 13.
in operation as a mop wringer, the device is assembled and placed upon the pail as shown in Fig. 1. The mop being laden with water is dropped into the top of the mop wringer and allowed to rest of its own weight upon the spider-like base thereof. Because of the weight of the mop and the general structure thereof, it will force its way partially through the spider-like framework and the wringing action may then be effected by a rotation of the handle of the mop, since this twisting action inevitably brings the strands of the mop into pressing contact with the legs of the spider-like frame. It will be seen, that the present device when utilized as a mop wringer, requires no manipulation in the way of bringing any two or more elements together into clamping relation upon the mop structure, but the wringing action is eft'ectuated by a simple placing of the mop within the mop wringer and a twisting or rotation thereof.
In operation as a sad iron holder, the mop wringer is simply inverted and the iron placed upon the spider-like framework.
What I claim, is:
A mop wringer comprising an open ended cylindrical mop receiving member and a spider wringing member formed from a plurality of thin substantially S-shaped strips intersecting in inter-fitting relation 10 with each other and rigidly secured at their free ends to said member, said strips being mounted adjacent one open end, and being disposed with their widest face extending longitudinally of said cylinder member.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
