Patented Nov; 23. 1915..
Application flled March as, 1914. Serial No. 228,008.
, all! To all whom at may concern.
Be it known that I, ANNA L. EvAns, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Prairie View in the county of \Valler and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mops, of whichthe following is a specification.
- fol-ding means for holding the cloth and also affording means for twisting the cloth in order to wring water out of the same.
Another ob ect of the invention is to provide the handles with means for securely but releasably engaging the ends of the cloth.
Another object of the invention is to provide a, mop,.the handles of which may be very cheaply made, thereby permitting the mop to be placed upon the market at a small cost.
This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein- Figure l is a perspective view of the mop; Fig. 2 is a view in elevation looking at the inner face of one of the handles; Fig. 3 is a view showing one of the handles in side elevation with the head broken away to show the hook which engages the cloth; Fig. 1 is an end view ofone of the handles.
The handles 10 have their outer end portions provided with openings 11 so that the mop may be hungup or so that if desired a suitable securing device may be passed through the openings 11 to releasably connect the handles. This securing device has not been shown since any suitable means can be used which will permit the handles to be quickly connected and disconnected. Each of the handles is provided at its inner end with a head 12 which is provided with a longitudinally-extending cut-out portion forming a socket 13 leading from the end of the head. The socket '13 is provided with a reduced month 1 1 so that the end of the cloth 15 will be wedged in the sockets 13 and thus prevent their slipping out of engageascraper 17, the outer face of the head 12 is beveled as shown at 18.
When using this mop, the ends of the cloth 15 are forced into the socket 13 and are engaged by the hooks 16. The ends of the cloth expand in the socket 13 and therefore they can not readily slip out of the sockets and become disconnected from the hooks. been connected with the hooks, the handles are placed together as shown in Fig. 1 and the mop is then ready for use. The cloth is dipped into the water and the dishes can be scrubbed with the mop thus cleaning them. If there are any particles which stick to the dishes. the same may be scraped off by one of the scraping edges 17. I If it is desired. to wring the water out of the mop during the process of washing the dishes, the handles may be grasped,one with each hand, and then turned to twist the cloth thus wringing the water out of the same. It will'therefore be seen that with this mop the handles will afford means for wringing the mop and will also constitute scraping elements. It
After the ends of the cloth have will be further seen that the cloth may be. i
easily connected and disconnected from the handles and that therefore a new cloth may be easily substituted for the one which has become worn out.
' It should also be noted that this mop is very simple in construction and can be easily and cheaplv made either from wood, metal, or a suitable composition molded or compressed into shape. '4
A slide may be provided to close the mouth 14 to securely hold the cloth in the socket 13 and prevent it from being wrenched out through the mouth 14 when wringing the mop.
lVhat is claimed is:
1. A mop comprising handles, each being provided with a head at one end having. a longitudinally-extending socket formed therein and provided with a reduced mouth, clothengaging means in said socket, and a cloth having its ends fitting into said sock ets and removably engaged by said cloth-engaging means.
' '2. In a mop, a pair of handles, each having one end portion provided with a longi-- tudinallyextending socket having a reduced mouth leading from, the inner face of the handle, and cloth-engaging means mounted into said sockets and releasably engaged by in the sockets of said handles. said cloth-engaging means. 10
3. A mop comprising a pair of handles In testimony whereof I aflix my signaprovlded W1th sockets leading from one end, ture in presence of two Witnesses.
5 the outer faces of said handles having their ANNA L. EVANS.
end portions, cut-out and inclined to form Witnesses: scraping edges, cloth-holding means in said R. L. IsAAcs, sockets, and a cloth having its ends fitting S. J. MASON.
