DISH-MOP,

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Aug. 24, 1915.

Application filed May 29, 1911, Serial No. 629,992. Renewed April 19, 1915. Serial No. 22,487.

To. all whom it may. concernf Be it known that I, CHARLES S. NELSON, of the city and county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dish- -Mops; and I do hereby declare the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the same, to be a full, clear, and exact de-' scription thereof.

The invention relates to an improved mop for cleaning dishes and the. like, and has for its object to provide a mop of this character which will'be firmly secured upon its handle and not liable to become disengaged therefrom when in use.

To this end the invention consists of the improved form of dish mop'hereinafter de.-.

scribed and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved dish-mop in its completed form. Fig. 2 is a a side elevation showing the threads in position for the second binding operation.

Fig. 6 is a side elevation showing the second binding operation completed. Fig. 7 is a side elevation showing the position of the threads during the third or final binding 35 operation.

Referring to the drawings, 1 represents the handle of my improved dish-mop which is provided adjacent one end with two angular flanges 2 and 3 and an annular concaved groove 4 between said flanges. The end portion.5 of the handle which extends beyond the flange 3 is tapered, all as shown in Fig. 2, and for a purpose to be hereinafter re ferred to. Extending transversely through the handle 1 at the grooved portion 4- is a hole to receive the binding wire 7, as shown in said Fig. 2. .After one end 7 of the binding wire 7 has been passed through said hole 6, and bent down so as to extend beyond the tapered end 5, a bunch of threads or looks of wool 8 are arranged around the handle in the manner shown in Fig. 4, with the lower ends of the threads projecting beyond the end of the handle and the upper portions of the same extending along the handle. With the threads 8 in this position the groove -il, as shown in Fig. 4. The upper half of the threads'8 is now drawn down overthe winding 9 and the end 7 of the wire.7 is passed through to the exteriorof sa1d turned down threads, as shown in Fig. 0. sa1d binding wire 7 1s now wound tightly aroundthe threads 8 at a point adjacent' the flange 3 upon the-large portion of the tapered end 5 to form the second winding 10, as shown in Fig. (5. A portion of the threads S are now drawn back over the winding 10 and the binding wire 7 is wound around the remainingthreads at a point adjacent the free end of the tapered end 5 to form a third winding 11, asshown in Fig. 7. The ends 7' and 7 of the binding wire 7 are now twisted together, as shown in said Fig. 7, and the drawn back ends of the threads Bare drawn down over the winding 11 to complete the mop.

' "It will be seen that withthe above described method of securing the inop upon' the handle there are three separate windings at three different points upon the handle,

and that the threads forming the mop are securely bound against movement in either direction upon the handle and a very efli cient mop is produced.

It will be understood. that the last winding 11 may be omitted if desired and a mop of 7 two windings produced.

the other end 7" of the binding wire 7 is woundtightly around the same to form the first winding 9 which binds said threads in' binding wire having one end extending" through the hole in the handle and the other end wound around the inner portion of said threads upon one side of said flange and around the outer portion of said threads upon the opposite side of said flange, the

two ends of said wire being fastened together upon the interior of the bunch of threads.

2. In an article of the character described, the combination, with a handle provided near one end with an annular groove, a. hole extending through said grooved portion, and a tapered end portion, of a bunch of threads arranged around said handle, and a binding wire having one end extending through the hole in the handle, and the other end wound around the lower portion of said threads to bind them in the groove, the top portion of said threads being then turned down and said end of the binding wire Wound around said threads to bind the combination, With a handle having tWo annular flanges, an annular groove between said flanges, a hole extending transversely through said grooved portion, and a tapered end portion, of a bunch ofithreads arranged around said handle, and a binding wire having one end extending through the hole in the handle and the other end wound around the lower portion of said threads to bind them in said groove, then. Wound. around the turned down upper portion of said threads to bind them beyond the outer flange, then wound around the inner portion of said threads to bind them upon the tapered end portion adjacent the free end thereof and then secured to the first mentioned end of the binding wire. p CHARLES S. NELSON.
