Description
Feb. 16, 1932. w, AUERBACHER 1,845,780
BROQM MOP Filed Dec. 8, 1930 till atented Feb. 16, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE BROOM nor Application filed December 8, 1930. Serial 110. 500,954.
My invention relates to What is generally known as a broom mop, the same comprising a jacket or sheath with attached mop swab, said jacket being arranged for ready application to and removal from an ordinary broom. The invention is directed to a more efficient and more convenient arrangement and construction of the jacket or sheath and attached mop, a preferred arrangement thereof being illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the improved mop showing the same attached to an ordinary broom, some parts being broken away; and
Fig. 2 is a view partly in edge elevation and partly in section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, the broom being shown in full.
The broom, which is of the usual structure, comprises the broom body 3 with customary stick 4. The jacket or sheath 5, which is of fabric such as a cheap grade of flannel but which may be of any suitable flexible material, is formed to snugly fit the exterior of the broom body 3. The upper portion of the jacket 5 is open at its top and partway down on each side thereof to form a pair of flaps 6 having at their upper corners separable fasteners 7. These separable fasteners 7 hold the upper ends of the flaps 6 drawn around the stick 4 and over the shoulders of the broom 3 and thereby cause the jacket to snugly fit around and over the respective portion of said broom. By thus forming the upper portion of the jacket 5 the same will compensate for varying widths of brooms and brooms having shoulders that are substantially round or square.
On a horizontal line that is considerably above the closed bottom of the jacket 5, said jacket is slit or horizontally divided at 8 throughout approximately half of its circumference, that is, from one edge portion of the jacket to the other.
As shown in the drawings, the edges of the material at the slit 8 are arranged to be separably connected by interlocking fasteners 9 of the type generally known to the trade as Zippers, said interlocking elements being arranged to be interlocked and unlocked by a sliding cam block or head 10. The lower slit portion of the acket 5 is formed with a joint or flap 11 that overlaps thefasteners 9 and normally conceals the same from view and, moreover, prevents the same from accumulating dust or other material that would render operation of the separable fastener uncertain or unreliable.
' The mop is shown as madeup of a plurality of mop swabs 12 and 13, the former being stitched or otherwise suitably secured to the extreme bottom of the jacket 5 and the latter being stitched or otherwise suitably secured to the sides ofsaid jacket above the bottom thereof, but below the line of the slit 8. These several swabs completely cover the lower portion of the jacket and when applied to the broom, afford a highly efficient dry mop. The mop swabs will usually be oiled or treated with polishing material adapting them to pick up dust or to be used in polishing floors or the like. When the head or slide 10 is moved to open the slit 8, the broom body may be inserted endwise into the jacket and into tight close-fitting relation within the same and when the slit is closed, the broom body its straws will be held in straight compact arrangement and protected from dust and dirt. In applying the broom within the jacket, the straws of the broom body are not damaged but are kept straight and the lower loose portion of the jacket can be readily slipped over the lower portions of the broom straws without damage thereto.
To remove the jacket 5 from the broom 3 it is only necessary to release the separable fasteners 7 and draw said jacket longitudinally on said broom away from the handle 4 or, in other words, in the direction of the free ends of the broom. From the above description it is evident that when applying the jacket 5 to the broom 3 or in removing the same therefrom said jacket is always moved longitudinally of the broom straws and to ward the free ends thereof so that there is no danger of breaking or straws.
will be completely incased and bending said The so-called zipper is a well known form of separable fastener consisting of numerous interlocking metallic links connected in chain form and fastened to adjacent edges of flaps to be united, such fasteners being disclosed in the Whitcomb 557,207 of March 31, 1896.
The primary purpose of the so-called jacket 5 is to attach the mop swabsto the broom so that the broom may be used as a handle" for the mop, but a. secondary but important object of the jacket is to protect and incase the broom body while it is being thus used and to prevent damage of the broom straws both in the act of applying and removing the jacket to complished and, moreover, the application and removal of the jacket made an extremely easy matter.
What I claim is:
1. A mop attachment for brooms comprising a jacket constructed tofit the exterior of a broom and to enclose the same including the bottom thereof, said jacket being open at its top and partway down on each edge thereof to format L. Judson Patent No. 7
the broom. These objects are acto the broom is pair of flaps arranged to extend over the shoulders of the broom, and separable fasteners for connecting the flaps
