MOP.
APPLICATION FILED SEPTn 2. 1921.
Patented June 20, 1922.
HARRY D; COWDEN, OF PITTSBURG, KANSAS.
IVIOP.
Application filed September 2, 1921. Serial No. 497,849.
To att whom t may concern:
Be it known that l, HARRY D. Cownnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Crawford and `Btate oflansas, have invented certain new and useful Vlmprovements in Mops, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to mops and it comprises a mop head formed of a single piece of wire or similar material having loops or eyes formed on opposite sides, handle securing means adapted to be received in said loops` and a mop comprising a casing adapted to lit over the mop head, the top of the casing being provided with openings for the passage of the loops.
An object of the present invention is the provision of a mop head formed of a single piece of wire which will be relatively inex-v pensive to manufacture.
A further object is the provision of a mop having a casing for the reception of the mop head.
A further object is the provision of means for securing the handle to the mop, the handle securing means being further adapted to assist in retaining the mop on the mop head. Y
ln the accompanying drawings, l have shown ono embodiment of the invention. ln this showing: n
Figure l is a perspective vView of a mop head and mop in assembled position,
Figure 2 is a similar view of the casing forming a portion of the mop.
Figure 3 is a detail view of the inophead,
Figure 4 is a detail sectional view of a portion of the mop and mop head, and,
Figure 5 is a side elevation of a portion of the handle.
TReferring to the dra wings. the reference mimeral 1 designates generally a mop head formed of wire or other suitable material. The mop head may be made any desired sh ape. and, as shown, it is formed triangular with a rear or base 2 and converging sides or arms 3. Arranged on each side of the mop head, and substantially equidistant from the base, there are provided loops 4 for the reception of the handle securing means. The handle securing means consists or a piece of Wire having offset ends 5 adapted to be received in the loops of the mop head. Beyond the ends, the wire is extended in a pair of converging arms 6 having coils or loops 7 formed therein to place the offset ends under tension and retain them in the loops. The central portion of the wire is coiled, as at 8, and is adapted to receive threads 9 formed on the end of a handle 10.
The mop to be used with the mop head comprises a back or casing 11 substantially triangular in shape provided with an open base 12. The'casing is arranged over the mop head, as shown in Figure 4, the walls 13 being arranged one below and one above the wire frame. The base of the casing is provided with a snap fastener 14, adapted to engage a catch 15 to retain the casing in position. The upper side of the casing is provided with suitable openings 16 for the passage of the loops 4. The threads 17 forming the mop are secured to the under side of the casing.
The method lof using the mop will be clearly apparent from the foregoing description. In assembling, the mop head 1 is first inserted in the casing, the loops passed through the openings 16, and the fastener 14 secured. The offset ends 5 of the handle securing member are then inserted `in the loops and the mop is ready vfor use.
To disassemble the mop, the operation is reversed.
The mop produced may be readily v*and quickly assembled and consists of very few parts, making it relatively inexpensive to manufacture and very unlikely to get out of order.
It is to be understood lthat the form of the invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that various changes in the shape, size, and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the .spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claim.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
A mop comprising a casing formed of two pieces of fabric of substantially the same'size and shape secured to each other along their edges, the two adjacent edges at one side of the easing being free, said casing ably engaging the projecting portions of said being provided With spaced openings on its mop frame. 10
upper side, a mop secured to said casing, e In testimony whereof I aix my signature mop frame adapted to be received 1n said 1n presence of tWoWitnesSes.
casing, said mop frame being provided with HARRY D. COWDEN. portions projecting through Seid` openings, VVitnesseS: Y means for closing the free side of said cas- C. S. DENIsoN,
ing, and a handle securing member detach E. V. BRUCE.
