Application filedSeptember 3, 1927. VSerial No. 217,404.
This invention relates to mops and it is an object ofthe invention to provide a mop of this kind constructed in a manner permitting it to be employed for all around use.
It is also an object of the invention to provide a mop of this kind wherein the head constitutes a wire disposed in irregular path and which is provided at its central portion with means whereby it may be effectively engaged with an operating handle.
The invention consists iii the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved mop whereby certain important advantages are attained and the device rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient vand advantageous for use, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
The novel features of my invention'will hereinafter be definitely claimed.
In order that myinvention may be the better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the ac companying drawing, wherein Figure l is a'view in top planof Ia mop constructed in accordance with an embodiment of my invention, the swathe being diagrammatically indicated by broken lines;
Figure 2 is a view in side elevation of the stiucture as illustrated in Figure l, the swathe being` omitted;
Figure 3 is a fragmentary detailed sec tional view taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 2.
' As herein disclosed, my improved mop comprises a head II formed of a single strand of wire of. requisite gauge and pos sessing a certain degree of inherent resiliency. The central portion of this strand is bent to provide two elongated straight arms l slightly diverging from the outer connected end portions 2 forming a substantially V-shaped tang, the ends of the sides being formed to provide the shoulders S. These arms l constitute means whereby the head H may be effectively connected with the operating member M. Y
The operating member M at one end poi"-v tioii is provided with a recess 4 in which'is adapted to be i'eceived the arms l, said eiid portion of the handle member having disposed tliereover a metallic cap 5 provided y with the slot 6 registering with the recess 4. As the arms l are foiced within the recess 4 they will move inwardly one toward the other until the shoulders 3 enter the recess 4, whereupon the arms l will automatically separate causing the shoulders 3 to engage inwardly lof the applied cap 5 at the ends of the slot 6 therein. i
Extending in opposite directions from the 'outerends of the arms l are the substantially duplicate arms 7 each disposed in an irregular or zigzag path with the various portions of the arm coplanar. By this for mation of the arms 7 a relatively broad head is provided and which is preferably disposed on an angle of approximately 450 with respect to kthe Varms 1. Each of these arms 7 is adapted to be threaded through a sheathing or casing S for a mop swathe 9 resulting in an effective mop structure for all around use. It is to be noted that the outer end portion of each of the arms 7 constitutes substantially an open loop, thus assuring the maintenance of the 'swathe in applied position.
From the foregoing description itv is thoughtto be obvious that a mop constructed in accordance with my invention is particularly well adapted for use by reasonof the convenience and facility with which it may be assembled and operated, and it will also beV obviousI that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without departing'from the principles and spirit thereof and for this reason lI do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation of the several p arts herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice except as hereinafter claimed. i
I claim l. A mop comprising a single lengthv of wire formed intermediate itssends to provide a substantially V-shaped tang, portions of the wireextending to form an arm from each side of said V-shaped tang and each terminating in a return bend forming an open loop, said arms and looped Vportions being designed to receive a mop swatlie, and
ico i a-liandle having a slot in one endidesigned Y to receive said tang.
2. A mop comprising a single length of wire formed intermediate its ends to pro' vide a'substantially Vsshaped tang, portions of the wireextending to form an arm from each side of lsaid V-shaped tang and each terminating in a return bend forming an open loop,y said'arms and looped portions being designed to receive a mop swathe, a
shoulder formedv at the point of joinder between each ferm and the adjacent portionV `of the tang", and e mop Vhandleheving .each terminating in a ret-urn bend forming an open loop, said arms and looped portions bein-0' Vdesigned to receive ay moa swathe sind @handle having a slot in one end designed to receive seid tang, said arms and loops being arranged in the same plane, and said tang being arranged :it an acute angle to said plane.
In testimony whereof I hereunto ziHix my signature. k
