FRANK DAVIS, OF NORTH ADAMS, -l\IASSAOHUSETTS.
MOP-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 257,294, dated May 2, 1882. Application tiled January 30, 1882. (No model.)
of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mop-Holders, of
which the following is a full and exact description, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings,making part ofthis specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of my device with the mop-holding bar drawn up in place to hold the mopping-cloth; Fig. 2, the same with the bar thrown down to release the mopping-cloth, and Fig. 3 a side elevation of Fig. 1.
My invention relates to improvements in mop-holding devices; and it consists in combinin g with a handle provided with a T-shaped head-piece a fastening device composed of a loop whose cross-bar is adapted to enter into a groove formed in the head-piece, and whose side bars are connected to the laterally-projecting arms of a coiled spring, the latter being hinged to the handle of the mop-holder, and so arranged that when the coil is turned in one direction against the handle the cross-bar of the loop will be drawn up toward the groove in the head-piece to hold the mopping-cloth securely in place; but when the coil is turned in the reverse direction the cross-bar of the loop will be moved away from the head to release the mopping cloth.
As illustrated in the drawings, A indicates the wooden handle of the mop-holder, the upper portion being broken away for the purpose of showing the essential parts of my invention on an enlarged scale; B, a metallic T-shaped head-piece secured to the lower end of the handle A, and having a cross-bar, b, that is provided with a longitudinal groove, 1), in its under face, and with a notch, W, in each of its ends 5 O, a loop made of brass or galvanized wire or other non oxidizable metal, whose cross-bar is adapted to enter the groove bin the head-piece, and whose side bars, 0, en-. gage in the notches b so as to retain the said loop in its required position; D, a coiled spring, preferably made of spring wire or other suitable material in a circular form, as shown in the drawings, and with two laterally-projecting arms, (I, which extend out sidewise far enough to receive the side bars, 0, of the loop, to which the arms dare connected, as at d, by a flexible joint. The coiled spring 0 is hinge-jointed at its lower side to the handle A by means of a grooved piece and staple, E, or in any other suitable manner, so that the coiled spring may be turned either toward or from the head-piece B. The arms 4 extend out sidewise from the coiled spring D on a line which, it produced across the circle of the coil, will lie from the hinge-joint at E at a distance that is equal to one-half of the required movement of the loop (J.
The operation of my device is as follows: The coil D being turned down, as shown 'in Fig. 2, to project the crossbar of the loop 0 far enough below the cross-bar of the headpiece B, the mopping-cloth is inserted in the open space between the aforesaid two crossbars. Then by turning the coil D upward the loop 0 is drawn up so as to clamp the cloth securely to the head-piece.
I claim as my invention-- In a mop-holder, the combination, with a cross-piece B, of the loop 0 and coiled spring 1),provided with laterally-projecting arms cl, flexibly connected to the loop 0, all constructed and arranged to operate as herein specified.
FRANK DAVIS.
