MOP
Application filed March 7, 1930. Serial N0. 433,968. v
This invention relates to improvements in cleaning implements, particularly a mop for house cleaning or the like, anid it is the principal object of my invention to provide a mop @j which will enable a house-cleaner to reach into any corner and nook and to thoroughly clean the saine without the necessity of stooping, and straining the body.
Another object of my invention is thevpro- 1o vision of a mop of this kind which is of simple and inexpensive construction, yet durable and efficient in operation.
Still another object of my invention is the provision of a mop having an extensible handle, part of which Ais made of elastic,
easily bendable material.
A further object of my invention is the provision of a mop having a head allowing a ready exchange of the mop cloth combined therewith.
A still further object of my invention is the provision of a mop having a flexible member to which the mop head carrying the cloth is movably attached to allow a positioning of the head at any desired angle to the handle ensuring a reaching of all corners and nooks under furniture etc., to thoroughly clean the same.
These and other objects of my invention will become more fully known, as the description thereof proceeds, and will then be specifically defined in the appended claim.
In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure:
Fig. 1 shows a map constructed according to my invention in elevation.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary sectional elevation of the upper part of the handle illustrating part of the flexible member in edge view and 'D its attachment to its operating sleeve.
Fig. 3 is a top plan view o-f the mop proper illustrating the attachment of the mop cloth to the head.
Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view of the mop cloth.
Fig. 5 is an edge view thereof.
Figs. 6 and 7 illustrate on a reduced scale the handle in front and side elevation respectively.
Figs. 8 and 9 illustrate on a reduced scale the flexible member in front and edge elevation.
Fig. 10 illustrates a number of detail views of the fastening means of the mop cloth to the` mop head.
As illustrated on the drawings, the cleaning implement constructed according to my invention comprises a handle 10 preferably made of wood or other suitable material, and longitudinally slotted, as at 11 to form branch members 12 and 13 between which the flexible longitudinally extending member 14 `is slidably held at its upper end by means of its tenons 15 engaging suitable bearings 16 in the inner wall of a ring or sleeve 17, )referably made of metal and adapted to slide along the handle 10 in the direction of its longitudinal axis.
The mop head 18 has a central opening 19 and ears 2O are formed on both side walls thereof which are perfo-rated for the reception of the ends of a bolt 21 about which the material at the end of the flexible member 14 is rolled, as at 22, while nuts 23 at the ,ends of the bolt hold the same in place.
The mop cloth 24 of any suitable texture is folded about the head 18 and has a flap 25 adapted to be attached to the head or part. of the cloth by means of snap buttons 26 or they like, or it may be held on the mop head in any other suitable manner. A band 27 holds the lower end of members 12 and 13 together.
The operation of my device will be entirely clear from the above description and simultaneous inspection of the drawings, and it will be clear that owing to the flexible member 14 which may be a. flat leaf spring and its movable connection with the handle, any nook or corner can be reached and a thorough cleaning of the room can be effected by reaching under furniture or the like without the necessity of stooping or unduly straining the body and the length of the member 14 can be regulated according to necessity and occasion by advancing sleeve 17 to which the member 14 is attached more or less along the handle.
It\will be understood that I have described and shown the preferred form of my device only as an exam le of the many possible ways to practical y construct the same, and that I may make such changes in its general arrangement and in the construction of the minor details thereof as come within the scope of the appended claim, without departure from the spirit of my invention and the principles involved.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tol secure by Letters Patent is:
A mop comprising a handle having a longitudinal slot, a ring slidably mounted on said handle, bearings on the inner wall of said ring, a flexible longitudinally extending member mounted in said slot, tenons on the upper end of said member engaging said bearings, a band around the lower end of said handle for clamping the parts of said handle formed by the slot therein on said member, and a cleaning mop movably atached to the lower end of said iexible mem- Signed at New York, in the county of New York, and State of New York, this 5th day of March, A.
