Description
AUNITED ,STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE H. KIDNEY, OF PAINESVI'LLE, OHI.
MOP.-
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 248,044, dated October 11, 1881.
Application led May 12, 1881. (No model.)
To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE H. KlDlvEY, of Painesville', in the county of Lake and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mops, which improvements are fully setforth inV the following specitication and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of amop having my improvements, showing the mop in position for mopping. Fig. 2is a similar view, show-. ing the mop in the act of wringing.
A is a wire frame attached to a cross-head, B, which is secured to a'hollow staff, C.
Dis a staff or handle fitted to play inside of the hollow statt' C, and has a cross-head and wire frame, E. To the said wire frame A and frame E are attached the ends ot'u mop-cloth,
'F. Thus farI do not claim these parts as new.
My improvements consist in the combina tion, with the frame A, of a supplemental bow, G, for the purpose of holding the cloth F onto the end of the frame to prevent its slipping around on the sides of the frame when loose,
'and to furnish a bearing down onto the cloth to press it onto the noorin the operation of mapping, as seen in Fig. 1.
Myi improvements further consist in providing a groove, d, in the side of the stati' or handle D, and providing the same with a feathered clutch, H, the purpose of which is to hold the handle from turning backward while wriu ging. The said clutch H'consists ot' a loose ring or sleeve having ratchetteeth` on the lower side to engage with a piu, i, in the end of the hollow staff G. The said clutch has a feather or pin, h, which runs vin the groove d of V.handle D, which prevents the said clutch from turning thereon, but allows it to slide up and down.
y4o The operation of this clutch is as follows:
The said groove d does not extend the full length ot' the staffD, but terminates ata point designated by d2. ln the operation of wringing the mop the handle is held at an angle of about forty-tive degrees with the cloth over the pail. This allows the clutch to slide down to the extent of the groove. The handle D, being drawn up to its full extent within the hollow statt' G, draws the mop-cloth up iu the frame. Then by turning the handleD the clothl is twisted, andas it is twisted it draws downwardon the handle C as the cloth contracts its length, which soon brings the clutch H in contact with the pin z'. It then begins to hold the handle G from turning back. This allows the' mop tokbe twisted as tight as may be desired without its untwisting and loosening the strain on the cloth before it is thoroughly hollow stai'G, having pin i, and provided with wire frame A, having loop'G, and-the crossheads B and E for holding mop-cloth F, all
constructed and operating substantially as shown and described.
