' Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 1, 1920.
Application filed September 5, 1919. .Seria1 1\T0. 321,792.
T0 all'whom z't may concern:
Be it known that I LOUIS WEGHSLER, a citizen of the United tates, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Mop and Brush Holder, of which the followlng is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to scrubbing and brushing apparatus and has particular reference to a device so designed as to hold either a mop head or a scrubbing brush.
Among the objects of the invention therefore is to so construct a mop stick and attachment means at the end thereof as to accommodate the device for holding and manipulating any one of several different types of cleansing devices.
With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists in the arrangement and combination of parts hereinafter described and claimed, and'while the invention is not restricted to the exact details of construction disclosed or suggested herein, still for the purpose of illustrating a practical embodiment thereof reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference characters designate the same parts in the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a plan view of my improvement shown as holding a scrubbing brush.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the device set to hold a mop; and
Fig. 4 is a detail perspective v1ew of the lower jaw member of the head.
Referring now more specifically to the drawings for a description of the mechanlsm and its mode of operation I show at 10 a mop stick or handle upon the reduced end 11 of which is fitted a head 12 in rigid position, the same comprising a pair of spaced jaw members 13 and 14 forming a channel 15 in which a bail 16 operates under the force of an expansion spring 17 for the purpose of holding a mop 18 in position. Thespring is located around the reduced end portion 11 of the stick and bears expansively at its ends against a collar 19 and said head 12. The collar is movable longitudinally of the stick and is limited in such movement by means of a shoulder 20 at the upper end of the reduced portion of the stick. The collar has trunnions 19 projecting radially from opposite sides thereof and upon which is journa'led a lever 21 to which the bail is attached at 22. The collar constitutes the fulcrum for the lever and the spring as a resilient base or cushion therefor providing for a suitable grip upon the mop that is introduced between thelower cross-bar portion of the bail and the bottom of the channel 15 when clip 23 formed preferably of a substantial plece of strap metal and having a longitu dinal slot 24 through which a clamping bolt 25 projects. The bolt is carried by the socket portion 26 of the mop head and a winged nut 27, or its equivalent, cooperates V with the bolt on the outer surface of the clip to lock the clip in either of two predetermined positions. One of these positions is as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 in which the middle portion of the clip is embraced by a pair of spaced hooks 28 formed on or secured to the lip 13 with the longer axis of the clip lying parallel to the axis of the handle or stick 10. The clip when locked in this position by means of the nut 27 is rigid with the handle, and the forward or lower end formed in the shape of a hook 29 is adapted to embrace the side or edge of the brush back 30 while the rear edge of the same is engaged within the channel 15 and securely held by the hooks 14*. Since the clip 23 cannot swing laterally itfollows that the brush is securely held from movement in any direction with respect to the mop stick.
The side edges of the clip are provided with notches 31 which are adapted to register with the hooks 28 when the nut is loosened and it is desired to swing the clip around so as to nest in idle posi ion just above and parallel to the lip 13 as shown in Fig. 3. It follows therefore that the clip will always be retained by the mop head and will always be in position for use as required for the purpose of holding the brush. The brush holding device is very simple and reliable, and yet cheap of manufacture and easy to manipulate and adds but little to the weigth and nothing to the inconvenience in use with respect to the V mop.
I claim:
In a device of the class set forth, the combination with a mop head and means cooperating therewith to hold the mop, of
means to hold a scrubbing brush in conportion of the mop head for cooperation with one edge of the brush back, and a clip having adjustable connection with the upper part of the head and having a hook projecting forward and downward around the 0pposite edge of the brush back.
' LOUIS WECHSLER;
nection with the mop head, said means comprising a pair of spaced hooks on the lower
