Application filed ()ctobcr 13, 1926.
This invention relates to mop heads, and more particularly to the means for fastenin the handle to the head.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a fastening means so constructed.
that the handle will be securely held to the head, but at the same time permit it to swing freely to permit the mop to'be used with facility.
Another object of the invention is to pro vide means whereby the fastening will be protected to insure against the furniture or floor being scarred by the mop, while the same is in use.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a wire support for the wool strands of the mop and a bearing member secured to the support in such a way that movement of the bearing member with respect to the support will be absolutely prevented,
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is a plan view of the mop illus' trating the securing device forming the essence of the invention.
Figure 2 is a sectional view through the mop head and handle.
Figure 3 is an enlarged sectional view through the bearing and portion of the mop handle.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the bearing.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the body portion of the mop head is indicated at 5 and as shown, includes a pair of wires twisted together and bent in a manner as shown by Figure 1, the ends thereof being extended inwardly, in parallel relation with each other.
The ends, which are indicated by the reference character 6 have right angled extremities that extend into the bearing member 7, which is tubular in formation and which is provided with recesses 8 disposed at its ends, which recesses define shoulders 9 against which the wires engage, the wires Serial No. 141,365,
being held in the recesses to insure against rotary movement of the bearing with re spect to the wires. In order to further cure the ends 6 within the tubular bearing, the I'Jearing is filled with solder embedding the ends 6 within the bearing.
The reference character 10 indicates a fastening element which is secured to the stub handle 11 by means of the rivets 12, the outer portion of the fastening element being positioned around the bearing 7 in a manner shown by Figure 2 so that free swinging movement of the stub handle with respect to the body portion or head, will be permitted.
A length of leather material indicated at 13 is positioned over the end of the member 10, adjacent to the bearing 7 and acts as a guard to guard the floor against injury, while the mop is in use, in the event that too much pressure is directed to the handle of the device.
It might be further stated that the bristles or lengths of yarn used in the construction of the head are positioned between the con volutions of the body portion of the head, and frictionally held therein.
The handle which is indicated at 14: is provided with a tubular member 15 secured at one of its ends, the tubular member being designed to fit over the stub handle 11.
From the foregoing it will be seen that due to the construction as shown and de scribed, the handle may swing freely on the bearing 7 with respect to the head, so that the head will lie fiat at all times regardless of the angle or position of the handle I claim:
A. mop strand carrying frame embodying lengths of wire twisted together and formed into a loop having the free ends thereof bent to form right angled alined extremities, a bearing member having recesses formed at its ends, said right angled extremities being positioned within the bearing member, portions of the wire adjacent to the right angled extremities resting in the recesses, the right angled extremities being secured against movement within the bearing member, a handle, and means on the handle and embracing the bearing member for pivotally connecting the frame and handle.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signa ture.
JOHN W. DOTY.
