rIhis invention relates to improvements in mops and has for its principal object to provide a mop head construction that is substantially rigid and durable that is relatively inexpensive and in which a mop cloth or other material may be securely held by a detachable, adjustable and pivotally mountfed clamping bar.
More specifically stated, the object Ot the invention is to provide a mop head comprising a single bar that is bent in such manner as to provide a pair of mounting prongs for attachment to the end of a mop istick, and a cross head with loops at its ends 'adapted to receive the ends of a clamping (bar which coacts with the cross head to clamp and hold the mop cloth.
Other objects of the invention reside in the various details of construction and combination of parts as is hereinafter de- (scribed.
In accomplishing the objects of the invention, I have provided the improved dejtails of construction, the preferred forms O'E which are illustrated in the accompanying dra-wings, wherein- Y F ig. 1 is a perspective view showing a mop constructed in accordance with the deltails of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a side view ot' the samel Referring more in detail to the several views of the drawings- The main portion of the mop head is Jformed from around, substantially rigid bar having a straight central portion form- ;ing a cross head 1. The end portions of the ",bar are then looped back forming eyelets 2 and 3 at opposite ends of the cross head and are then extended for short distances along the cross head and are then bent upwardly and are brought together with their end por- 't-ions mounted in the end of a mop stick 4 'where they are securely held by a ferrule 5 `applied to the stick.
The cross head portion 1 oi" the mop head and the looped portions 2 and at its ends lie in a plane that is perpendicular to the axis of the mop stick.
Disposed below the cross head 1 is a clamping bar 8 having' upwardly turned end portions 9 and 10; the end 9 being projected upwardly and is pivotally contained within the loop 2 and is held therein by a washer 11 and nut 12 that is threaded onto the end of the piece. The end portion 10 is likewise projected Aupwardly through the eyelet 3 and Serial No. 143,640.
is equipped with a washer 13 and clamping wing nut 14. The mop cloth, or other material used, designated at 15, is placed over the bar 8 and is clamped against the cross head by tightening the wing nut 14. In
this construction the nut 12 is not ordinarily moved after once being set but it may be adjusted as is necessary to adapt theclamp toA mop cloths 15 of different thicknesses. lVhen it is desired to change or to detach the cloth 15, the wing nut 14 isloosenedand that end of the clamp bar allowed to swing downwardly as its other end portion pivots in the eyelet 2 and is held against displacement by the nut 12.
The loops 2 and 3 are made sufficiently large in this construction that the clamping bar may have the necessary pivotal action required for the replacing and removing of the mop cloths and to permit the removal of the end portion 10 from its eyelet if this should bedesired.
kSuch mops are easily and quickly adjusted, are substantial and durable are relatively inexpensive and there are no sharp cornersthat might cause damage to the floors or furniture with which they contact.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A mop head comprising a bar that is .formed centrally between itsfends with a l straight portion serving as one side of a clamping means for holding a mop cloth or the like; the end portions of said bar being bent to form eyelets at the opposite ends of the straight portion and are extended then along the straight portion toward each other and then bent and brought together to form a mounting for a handle, a clamp bar serving as the other side of the said clamping means having a transverse portion at one 'end pivotally contained in one of the said eyelets, a nut adjustably mounted on said end whereby yit is held pivotally against displacement, a transverse portion at the other end of the bar slidably projected through the other of said eyelets and a clampin nuton. said end port-ion whereby the sai may be drawn toward the lstraight portion of the first mentioned bar.
Signed at the city of Everett, Snohomish County, Washington, this 8th day of October, 1926.
JOHN HAUGEN.
