Description

April 29, 1941. J. F. OWENS MOP CLOTH STRAND Filed May 16, 1959 JZ Z'C/ZLS: lNvENToR ATTORNEYS Patented Apr. 29, 1941 UNITED sTATEs 'GFFCE 2 Claims.
The invention relates to a mop cloth or swab.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of a cloth or `swab of this character wherein the material constituting the same is made from cordage, the strands being twisted together in groups and these twisted strands are united by tackings such as air dried rubber or adhesive so as to avoid the separation of the strands in the grouping thereof, the tackings being at spots so as to avoid the separation of the strands and such cordage under the assembly joined by tape to effect a unitary body or a complete mop cloth or swab.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a cloth or swab of this character wherein the i construction thereof is novel so as to assure maximum life thereto, the strands of the cordage making up the cloth or swab being prevented from unravelling and in this manner the cloth or swab will not become knotted in the use thereof.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a cloth or swab of this character wherein the grouped strands when severed through wear will drop off and the cloth orswab will not become lumped or knotted in the use thereof or will the strands unravel in their grouped assembly.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a cloth or swab of this character which is simple in its construction, thoroughly reliable' constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is an end elevation thereof.
Figure 3 is a top plan view.
Figure 4 is an elevation of a group of twisted strands of the cloth or swab.
Similar reference characters indicate correspending parts throughout the several views in the drawing.
Referring to the drawing in detail, A designates generally the mop cloth or swab and in the making thereof a plurality of strands 5 of cotton, yarn, or the like, each made of a plurality of absorbent threads twisted together, these being of uniform length with respect to each other and the twisted strands are held together by the application of adhesive or air dried rubber or the like 6 which are spaced the required distance from each other and in this manner wicks 'I are constituted. The required number of wicks 'I are assembled in juxtaposition with respect to each other and midway of the length of such wicks a binder or tape 8 embraces said wicks.
The binder or tape 8 is preferably stitched at 9 to the said wicks 1, resulting in a nished cloth or swab as will appear in Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the drawing.
The bands 6 unite the strands 5 and maintain these twisted together without liability of unravelling from one another in each wick 1.
The binder or tape 8 in lieu of stitches 9 can be otherwise fastened for the permanent holding together of the wicks 'l in the finished cloth or swab.
What is claimed is:
l. A mop cloth strand, comprising a plurality of absorbent threads twisted together for forming a wick, and said threads impregnated with an adhesive a short distance at intervals and a considerable distance apart throughout the strand for joining the threads together to avoid the separation of the latter or the untwisting of the same, whereby they may be severed above the point of joining to produce a new strand.
2. A mop cloth strand, comprising a plurality of absorbent threads twisted together for forming a wick, and said threads impregnated with air dried rubber a short distance at intervals and a considerable distance apart throughout the -strand for joining the threads together to avoid the separation of the latter or the untwisting of the same, whereby they may be severed above the point of joining to produce a new strand.
