Description

April lr6, 1935. H HERTZBERG YACHT MOP Filed Feb. 26, 1934 ATTORNEY Patented Apr. 16, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE YACHT MOP Harry Hertzberg, New York, N. Y. Application February 26, 1934, Serial No. 712,891
1 Claim.
' This invention relates generally to mops and more particularly to the kind known as deck mops or yacht mops.
An object of the invention is to provide means for readilyl attaching and detaching the mop head from the handle.
Another object is to provide means for reinforcing the handle at the point where it is attached to the mop head.
Still another object is to provide means for spreading the mopping material in a fan-like shape.
A still further object is to provide a yieldable buffer to prevent injury to furniture and the like.
These and other objects and advantages of my invention will be apparent from the description thereof to follow taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of a mop embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the mop shown in Figure l.
Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 but showing the yieldable buiier displaced after striking an object.
Figure 4 is an enlarged detail front elevation of the connection between the handle and mop head.
Figure 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 4.
Figure 6 is a detail view of the buffer and spreader member.
Figure 7 is a plan View of the ferrule I5 on line 'I-I of Figure 5.
Referring to the drawing, I have illustrated a so-called deck mop or yacht mop comprising a mop head I0 and handle II. The mop head includes mopping material formed of cords of fabric or other suitable material which loosely hang from the handle. The mopping material is 'removably supported by a wire support comprising an elongated twisted stem I2 and an integral loop portion I3, the cords being doubled upon themselves at their middle portion and strung through the loop I3 permitting them to hang loosely downward.
Detachable connection between the handle and mop head is afforded by an elongated axial bore I4 in the lower end of the handle into which the tang I2 is inserted. Mounted on the lower end of the handle is a split ferrule I5 which may be made from heavy sheet steel or other suitable material. The ferrule is slightly tapered from top to bottom so that its bottom portion snugly engages the lower end of the handle. At its top portion, one of the slitted edges of the ferrule is formed with an integral lug or ear I6 which extends laterally and overlaps the adjacent portion of the opposite edge. This lug I6 and overlapped portion of the ferrule are each provided with aligned screw threaded openings I'I. When the ferrule is in position on the handle as shown in Figure 5, these openings I'I are in line with a lateral opening IB in the handle which intersects the axial bore I4. A wing screw I9 is threaded through the aligned openings I1 and I8 and clamps the tang I2 against the walls of the bore I4 in the handle. This screw prevents relative movement between the ferrule and handle. The overlapped portions prevent displacement of the screw and provides reinforcement at this necessary point.
An important feature of my invention is the provision of means for spreading the mopping l material into fan-like shape so desirous in mops of this kind. I accomplish thisby providing an elongated flattened ring or loop 20 having teeth 2| formed on its inner surface. The flattened loop member is positioned around the mopping material near the top thereof and the mopping material is spread out inside the loop. The long portions of the loop are then pressed together so that the teeth 2| engage the mopping material. This holds the mopping material in fan-like shape and permits it to hang loosely downward, in a flat shape. Y
This member 20 also serves to form the material into a straight-edged shoulder portion for more effectively scraping or rubbing the floor when desired.
From the foregoing it will be seen that I have provided a mop that can readily be passed through a wringer; one in which the handle is protected from splitting or 'other injury; one in which the mop head can be readily detached for any purpose desired; and one which can be used with a minimum of injury to furniture or the like. In addition my improved mop is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
Changes in details may be made without departing from the principle of my invention and I desire to be limited only by the state of the prior art and the appended claim.
I claim:
In a mop, an elongated handle having an axial opening, mopping material, a tang positioned in said opening connecting said handle and mopping material, a split ferrule around the point of connection between the handle and mopping material, the adjacent edges of said ferrule overlapping at one point and a screw passing through the overlapping portions of said adjacent edges and adapted to engage said tang in said opening.
