"1: Application Jane 2s, 1941, Serial No. 400,2 1 was s This invention relates to improvements in cleaning implements and is directed "more'p'ar ticularly to an improved mop-head construction and a frame therefor.
It is a, principal ob of the so-called swivel type towhich a jhand'le will usually be attac'he'dl-f Aswill appear, the invention includes a new frame or support and a novel mop, brush, duster or-similarheadra movably attached thereto and removable there from and the same are so formed that the work ing part of the mop may easily take variousangular positions relativeto the lineof directionin which the end of the handle is moving.
By reason of the novel construction of the invention, the mop may-be more 'easily' manipulat'ed and moved over a floor surface and is particularly suitable for cleaning aroundfand Working at the areas chairs, desks; et c.f Ihat is tosay the mop-head J'ect of the invention to pro- 'vide a mop-head forassociation'with-a frame about the feet of ants,

It is a further object the invention td-p'm:
vide a mop-head device "whichincludesa supporting frame and a bo'dy of "some suitable-'fleir-j ible' material having a pluralityof sQ-c'alled Fig. 2 is a' top plan view of the supporting frame of the invention;

Referring now to the drawingmore in detail, the invention. will be fully described;
The frame orsupporting member of: the mops head device of the invention is indicated/generally by 2. It isxtobe understood that its shape and size may vary as well'as the material of which it is formed.

I have found that cheapest way to manufacture ,the frame is to thrums, which 'usuallyconsist of threads or yarns, attached thereto and providing the dirt- ZAs 'W'illgbe described, said collecting surfaces. body member is especially fo'rmedto havezwhat maybe termed" a' pocket for releas'ably receiving the new typeof' frame, the"bodyj and frame members being constructed for co=operative re-,
lationshipand' combinable into a working mop head unit which is particularlyadapted for clean-- elongated members, such;
as legs of'chairs, etc. l v With the foregoing andvarious other novel features and advantages and other objects of my;
invention as willbecomemore apparent 'as the";
description proceeds, fthe invention consists'i certain novel features of construction and: in, the combination andjfarrangement" of parts fas will be hereinafter more partioularly po'intedj; claims r un q ar sx djIandi more? out in the 'fully described andvreferredfto inconnection'j with the-accompanying drawing, wherein:
Fig;- 1 isatopfplan view or themap-head variously formed but in ofspaced fingers, indieatedgenerally by 8 with. I 0 extending rearouter ends of the' the simplest and The other end of "theframe may likewise be any event it has ,a pair a transverse guard member wardly V orjinwardly of the form it of a Single length of rod with the fingers vformed by bending the rod as shown and with the guard l3 integral with andconnectingthe inner arms of the fingers, all as shown.
. ;This frame member 2 ;is adapted, to carry a head member, indicated generally by 26, and this includes a support which is generally formed of some'suitably flexible material, such as fabric,
canvas, or the like, and a plurality of so-called thrums which extend outwardly fromadjacent outer marginal edges of the support to form a mop-body. This head member 25 is formed to have'upper and lower walls,
