CHRISTOPHER JUSKA, or ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA.
MOP.
Specification of Letters Patent. I
Application filed August 12, 1919. Serial No. 316,963.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Gnmsrornnn J USKA, a citizen of Lithuania, residing at Rochester, in the county of Olmsted and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mops, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in mops, the object being to provide one that can be used for cleaning floors, walls, ceilings, stairways, and even chimneys, masts on ships, etc., in fact may be used for cleaning any plain or curved surface.
The object is to provide a mop in WlllGl]. the rags used may be short, utilizing scraps, and easily renewed. It consists of a plurality of slats or strips in which the rags are held, the clamping bail surrounding and let into the edges and ends of these strips, with means for tightening them upon the rags. It further consists in an adjustable handle,
as well as in other novel features of construction which will be more fully described and set forth in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a view in perspective;
Fig. 2 is a view of the bail;
Fig. 3 is an edge view of one of the slats or strips;
Fig. 4 is a view of the eyelet plate.
The numeral 1 represents a plurality of slats or strips with the rags 2, which may be of cord or any woven material, held therebetween. 3, is a flat end piece.
The ends of the slats or strips 1 and of the end piece 3 are grooved, as is also the rear. edge of the outermost strip 1 (as shown at 4:) to receive the bail 5, the ends 6 of which are screwthreaded and extend through a plate 7 and have nuts 8 screwed thereon to apply pressure and tension to the several slats and bars and the rags therebetween, in short hold them in place. The threaded ends of the bail are housed in the grooves I in the opposite ends of the end piece 3, so to prevent their coming in contact with the woodwork or furniture and mar-ring the same. I
The slat or strip 1 nearest the end piece 3 is secured thereto in any approved manner, as for instance by a screw 9, or other equivalent means, and between these two parts the plate 7 is held. This plate 7 is provided with eyelets 10 to receive the ends of the handle members 11. The handle 12 has a hook 13 on one end which extends through an eyelet 14 on the mop, and the handle passes through a ring 15 on the upper ends of the braces 11, which converge and come together at that point. This ring is provided with a thumb-nut or other means 16 for tightening up the ring on the handle. In this way, the handle can be adjusted to any suitable inclination to suit the operator, thus raising it to either a high, low, or some intermediate point, maln'ng it unnecessary to bend, stoop or get into uncomfortable positions in the work of mopping or cleaning the floor or other surface upon which the mop is being used.
I claim:
1. A mop composed of a plurality of slats or strips, and an end piece, said parts having grooved ends, and the outermost slat a grooved side, a bail extending through said grooves and having threaded ends, rags held between the slats, and means screwed on the threaded ends for holding the rags securely between the slats.
2. The combination with a mop composed of an end piece and a plurality of stri s, rags between said strips, and means for ho d ing the same together, of an eyelet plate clamped between one of the slats and the end piece, a handle, means for hooking it to the mop, a brace held in the eyelets of the eyelet plate and having a loop through which the handle extends, and means for tightening the loop upon the handle for regulating the inclination of the handle.
3. A mop which includes a plurality of slats or strips having recessed ends, the outer strip having a groove, a U-shaped bail nested in the recesses and grooves and having threaded ends, the strips adapted to receive and clamp rags therebetween, means secured on the threaded ends of the bail for forcing the strips together, against the rags, whereby to securely clamp the latter, a flat Patented June 14,1921.
end piece, and means for securing the latter to the strips, said end piece covering and protecting the fastening means on the bail, and forming a support for the adjacent rags whenthe water is being pressed therefrom.
4. A mop which includes a plurality of secured on the-threaded ends of the bail'for forcing the strips together againstthe rags, whereby to securelyclamp-the latter, a flat end piece, means for securing the latter to the strips, said end piece covering and pro- 0 tecting the fastening means on the bail and forming a support iorlthe adjacent rags when the wateris being pressed :therefrom, a plate interposed between the end piece and adjacent slat and threaded and secured on 10 the ends of the bail, and a handle having members detachably sprung into said eyelet.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
CHRISTOPHER J USKA.
