Description
Nov. 26, 1929. H. J. osTDlEK ET AL MOP Filed June 25, 1928 Patented Nov. 26, 1929 PATENT FFECE HERMAN J. OSTDIT-K, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, AND MARY E. HANKE, OF
OSI-IKOSH, WISCONSIN MOP Application filed June 25,
Our present invention relates to a mop of the type disclosed and claimed in our United States Letters Fatent No. 1,545,510 of date July 14, 1925, and has for its object to im- 5 prove the same, as will presently appear.
To the above end, generally stated, the invention consists of the novel devices and combinations of devices hereinafter described and deined in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the invention, like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a plan view of ie complete mop, 15 some parts being broken away and other parts sectioned Fig. 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of the mop swab;
Fig. 3 is a view in transverse section taken 2c on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1, on an enlarged scale, with the end portions of the mop swab broken away;
Fig. 4 is a view partly in end elevation and partly in section taken on the line 4 4 of Fig.
25 1; and
Fig. 5 shows in section another form of the holder.
The mop swab is reversible and comprises layers of relatively long cords 6, connected 30 together at their longitudinal centers by a three-ply fabric strip, the plies of which are indicated by the numerals 7, 8 and 9. These plies 7, 8 and 9 extend transversely of the cord G, thus leaving the end portions of said cords loose.
The cords 6 extend between the plies 7 and 8 and which plies are preferably formed from a single piece of fabric that extends completely around saidcord. The plies 7 and 8 are connected together at their longitudinal edges and to the cord 6 by two rows of stitches 10 and the plies 7 and 8 are further connected together and to the cord 5 by an intermediate row of stitches 11.
rlhe purpose of connecting the plies 8 and 9 together only at their longitudinal edges and not by the intermediate row of stitches 11 is to form a tube 12 from said plies through which a flexible holder for the mop 5o swab may be inserted, as will presently ap- 1928. Serial N0. 288,054.
pelar. Said holder, as shown in Figs. 1, 3 and and has its end portions removably secured f to one end ofthe handle 14 by means of a mop head 15. Said mop headl 15, as shown, is made up of two duplicate pressed metal plates 16 stamped to form supplemental approximately sei'ni-cylindrical socket-forming portions 17 and laterally spaced supplemental approximately semi-cylindrical socket-forming spring clamping portions 18 for the flexible holder 13. The bodies of the plates 16 Y' form webs between t-he socket-forming portions 17 and 18. Nutequipped bolts 19l extend through aligned holes in the webs of the plates 16 and rigidly connect said plates.
The mop handle 14 is preferably in the form of a wooden stick and the socket-forming portions 17 of the mop head its the tapered end of said stick and are frictionally clamped thereon by the bolts 19 and rigidly held. The end portions of the Llexible holder 13 are inserted into the socket-forming portions 18 and frictionally held thereby.
rllhe formation of the socket-forming portions 18 is such that they are slightly sprung onto the end portions of the holder 13 at the time the bolts 19 are tightened to secure the mop head to the handle 14.
In attaching the mop swab to the handle 14 the holder 13 is first inserted through the tube 12 and then the end portion of said holder secured in the mop head 15, as previously described, with the plies 8 and 9 within the loop formed by the fiexible holder 13 so that the cords 6 and ply 7 are on the outside of said holder, as best shown in Fig. 3.
As previously stated, the mop swab is reversible, thus permitting one side of the mop to be used and then turned upside down with the dirt and dust collected thereby on the top of the mop and thus held while the other ico side ofthe mop is being used. When both sides of the mop swab have been used, the mop may be taken to a window or door and shaken to remove the dust and dirt therefrom. The flexible holder 18 is free for universal movements so that it will yield in all directions during the mopping action and then assume its normal position when the pressure is removed from the mop.
In Fig. 5 the flexible holder 20 is made from a solid piece of rubber and if desired it may be provided with a metal reinforcement.
What we claim is:
l. A mop comprising a handle, a headapplied to the handle, a pliable rubber holder bent to forni a loop vand having its ends secured to the head, and a swab provided with means for attaching the same to said holder, said holder and swab being adapted to be sprung into various different forms but to return to normal shape when relieved from pressure.
2. A mop comprising a handle, a head applied to the handle, a pliable holder comprising a rubber tube bent to form a loop and having its ends secured to the head, and a swab provided with means for attaching the saine to said holder, said holder and swab being adapted to be sprung into various different forms but to return to normal shape whenrelieved from pressure.
3. The structure defined in claim l in which the rubber holder is provided with a metal reinforcement embodied therein.
In testimony whereof we aiix our signa-- tures.
