UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
` ALBERT P. SEYMOUR, OF NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT.
I MPROVEMENT IN MOP AND BRUSH HOLDERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 155,469, dated September 29, 1874; application led June 5, 1874.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALBERT P. SEYMOUR, of New Britain, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented an Improvement in Mop and Brush Holders, of which the following is a specication:
Brush-holders have been made with a swinging jaw, operated upon by a screw-ring surrounding the handlesocket, and the parts have also been made to close upon the wicking or other brous material forming the mop.
My invention consists in a swin ging jaw, having cam-toes, against which the screw-ring acts, in one case to move the arm of the jaw when grasping a brush, and in the other case to move the same when grasping the mop. In either instance, the toe stands at an inclination to the screw-socket, in order that the screw-rin g may exert a greater force as it passes in between the inclined surface of the toe and the screw-socket. The surfaces of the jaws are V-shaped, and made with teeth, and the edge of one jaw is opposite to or overlaps the groove in the next, so as to clamp themop very firmly.
In the drawing, Figure l is a vertical section of the holder with a brush. Fig. 2 is a section of the parts with a mop; and Fig. 3 is a side elevation.
The socket a receives the wooden handle, as
usual, and it has 011 its exterior surface a screwthread and a ring-nut, b. The end of the socket is made with arms d, between which is the V or trough shaped jaw e, preferably provided with teeth i. In the socket ais a mortise, into which the armf passes, and is attached by the rivet or pin 3, on which said arm f and the trough-shaped jaw lo swing. The length of this arm f is such that the troughagainst the s urface of the screw-socket, iii-- stead of tending to move the screw-ring lengthwise of the socket; hence there will be but little wear orstrain upon the screwthread.
The screw-socket clamps by the cam-toe 6 when a mop is used with the holder, and by the cam-toe 7 when a brush-head is placed between the jaws, and, for a larger brush, a third toe may be provided to allow the jaws to open wider.
I claim as my invention- 1. The combined mop and brush holder, made with the two inclined cam-toes 6 and 7, upon the swinging arm fof the jaw k, in cornbination with the screw-socket and ring and stationary jaw, substantially as set forth.
2. The mop holder, made of two metal trough-shaped jaws, one of which overlaps the other, in combination with the screw-socket,'ringnut, and cam-toe, substantially as set forth.
Signed by me this 1st day'of June, A. D. 1874. Y
ALBERT P. SEYMOUR.
