This invention relates to a combined er and holder. v 4
embodies" improved "features of construction to 'thelend that it will be positive in opera tionythat it-will 'be adaptedfor the purpose.
of wringing any ordinary' mo'pl pad made of numerous thrumsy'strands of yarn or cords,=
and padsmadeof any fibrous material; that will permitthe user tofoldthe'mop padland that-enables a mop pad-to be" quickly in serted and removed whenever necessaryor desirable, and which enables the user to water mop pad, to; an oil mop-pad, or'a long slosh moppad to a small nop pad tobe'used in restricted places. I e
The nature of the invention and its distinguishing features and advantages will appear when the following specification s drawing, in which-' s v M Figure 11s a front view of a mop wringer andrholder constructed-in accordance Wlth the invention, themop padbeing shown in dot ancldash lines; '7 v A I Fig. 2is a'seotional new taken SllbStElIltlLL' 1y on the line;22 of Fig. 1 and looking in:
the direction indicated by the arrows. V
Fig.3 is {a side viewshowing the relation' ship of certain parts for carrying out mop-- pingon-wringihg operations i Fig. 4 is 'aview similar toFig; 3, but showing one of the levers actively engaged for changing the position of one of the-wringing rollers to enable theinsertion and removal of' V a mop-pad between the wringing rollers.
Fig. 5 "is a detail view of the crank handle for rotating'one of the wringing rollers.
Referring now morepartic'ularly to the several views of the drawing, it will be apparent, that the mop wringer and holder inclu-des a frame or yoke 10 consisting oftwo' substantially similar ;yoke members 11] and 12 of metal rod material, together with a socket or ferrule 13 which receives one end of a handle 14'. The yoke' mem'bers 11 and e the adjacent 1929. seri l N 1 366,640. J
12;are tightly held together :clips 15'.
The 'yoke member 11 has terminal" eyes 16 which-constitute bearingsfor the opposite ends ofa shaft 17 of 'a 'wringingroller 18. The roller 18 is made of wood, but may be made of anybother suitable materia h and is .flutedas indicated at 19. ,The yokemember 12 is provided with terminal eyes :20 Which constituteslbearingsforthe opposite ends of 7 alshaft2l of a wringingroller 22 equal in length to-the length of the roller 18; The
roller '22 has circular flanges 23 spaced axiallyof the roller 22 for a purpose explained hereinaften Side guard plates 24 of'metal aregsupported by the opposite ends'of the, f I shaft 17, th change from one kind of mop pad, such as a similar in size andshape, and are'disposed:
The plates2 l are between vthe endsof the rollers18fand 22 and 4 Y portions of the frame or yoke 10. E'nd' walls of the slots 25, into engage- I ment with which the opposite" ends of the "shaft' 21 are moved, serve withth'e'shaftends to'hold the roller 22 spaced from the roller 18yasuitable distance to properly accommodate a mop pad26 indicated in dot and dash lines. i r
the invention," theyoke members Hand 12, by reason of the manner in "which they are 1connected together; and the inherent springa inessthereof, have pressure provision for con-" stantly urging the roller 22toward the roller a' spring 28, the free end of which is en gageable with the related eye 20 of the yoke Inaccordance with one ofthe' features'of ,Each lever 27- carries Q member 12 to hold the lever 27 in an inactive position, as shown in Fig. 3. The levers 27 maybe swung to the position shown in Fig. 4, in which the ends 29 thereof bear against portions of the yoke member 11 with a camming effect, causing the yoke member 12 to be sprung away from the yoke member 11, thus changing the position of the roller 22 with respect to the roller 18. It will then be possible to readily insert a mop pad between the rollers 18 and 22, and also make it possible to readily remove the same from between the rollers. The levers 27 may be swung in a reverse direction, whereupon the yoke member 12 will spring back, bringing the roller to its original position.
In order to effect the rotation of the roller 18, there is provided a gear 30 fast on one end of the shaft 17, which meshes with a pinion 31 fast on one end of a crank 32 mounted for operation on one of the plates 24: and supported in part by a bearing member 33 secured to said plate, The crank 32 has a handle 34, which may be swung to different positions and which is held in these positions by the employment of a pin 35 on the crank arm 36, engageable in notches 37 in the handle end 38 which loosely surrounds the arm 36, there being a spring 39 on said arm held in place by a pin l0 carried by the arm, which spring, bears against the end 38 to releasably hold the handle 34 in the said positions.
The opposite ends of the shafts 17 and 21 have arranged thereon suitable retaining means such as nuts or washersdl held in place by pins or heads formed on the endsof the shafts. This provision serves to hold the yoke 10, plates 24: and levers 27 in position, or in the properassembled relationship.
In accordance with another feature of the invention there are provided scraper elements 42 and longitudinal guard plates 43' supported at the opposite ends by the plates 24. The scraper elements 42 extend parallel to and adjacent said rollers 18 and 22. The scraper elements 42 constitute a means to remove foreign matter from the mop pad duringthe remaining operation, and also to remove the loose ends of the material constituting the mop pad, which would adhere to the rollers when wet, and would wind around said rollers and impede rotation of said rollers. With the handle held in an ordinary mopping position and the mop pad disposed forwardly it is evident that the front longitudinal guard plate 13 will rest upon the mop pad keeping all parts of the wringer the thickness of the mop pad from the floor. In the operation of mopping the mop pad is also used backwardly or under the wringer; in this position the back longitudinal guard plate 43 restsv upon the mop pad keeping all parts of the wringer the thickness of the mop pad from the floor.
Attention is now called to the fact that the flanges 23 of the roller 22 prevent the mop plates 24 prevent the mop pad from being forced between the frame or yoke members 11 and 12 and the ends of the rollers, when the mop pad is subjected to the action of said rollers in the wringing operation. The side plates may be beveled so as to offer as little resistance as possible.
It will also be apparent that by the provision of the gear 30 and pinion 31 together wit-l1 the. crank handle, the user is enabled to carry out wringing operations in a convenient manner. The gear and pinion perform the function of turning roller 18 in response to the turning of'the crank in aright hand manner, to apply traction to the. underside of the mop pad, thereby causing the mop pad to curve away from the rollers, so that the water squeezed from the mop pad cannot fall back upon the wrung portion thereof, and also for operating the roller 18 to draw the mop pad into the desired: association with the rollers. Furthermore by providing the adjustable handle 34, it is possible to move thesameto an out of the way position in which it willbe retained against unintentional movement.
I claim:
1. A mop wringer and holder comprising the combination of yoke members having a handle cooperable wringing rollers mounted for rotation on said yoke members respectively, side guard plates, means carried by the yoke members which support said guard plates respectively adjacent the ends of said rollers, the edge of each guard plate projecting beyond the peripheral surfaces of both rollers, and scrapers carried by said guard plates, said scrapers extending parallel to and adjacent said rollers to receive therebetween a mop pad vto-remove foreign matter therefrom during the wringing operation.
2. A mop'wringer and holder having the combination of resilient yoke members connected together so that they are urged towards each other, a handle connected with said yoke members, wringing rollers mounted on said yoke members respectively, said yoke members afiording pressure provision for constantly urging one of said rollers toward the other roller, and means operable in conjunction with said yoke members to change the position of one roller with respect to the other roller, for the purpose of inserting a mop pad between said rollers or for removing the mop pad from between the rollers.
3. A mop wringer and holder having the combination of resilient yoke members, connected together so that they are urged to Wards each other, a handle connectedwith said yoke members, wringing rollers mount 5 ed on said yoke members respectively, said yoke members aflording pressure provision forconstantly urging one of said rollers toward the other roller, scraper elements, and means positioned on the roller shafts supl0 porting said scraper elements disposed in spaced relation adjacent said rollers, to receive therebetween a mop pad to remove forreign matter therefrom during the wringing o 0 oration.
