This invention relates to a new and improved broom and mop bracket support. r 3
' Its principal object is to provide a broom and mop bracket support, having simple releasable means for securely holding the handles thereof in depending position thereon.
Another object of the invention is to provide a broom and mop bracket support, having means to space the lower part of the broom or mop away from the wall or door on which the bracket is mounted, so that the mop or broom is held in proper vertical position.
Another object of the invention is to provide a broom and mop bracket support which is simple to set up and install, and which can efficiently support any desired number of brooms, mops, or other similar articles thereon.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a bracket support unit for brooms, mops, etc. which can be conveniently attached on a wall, door, or any other desired surface, the unit being neat in appearance.
Other objects of the invention will be apparent from the following description and drawing, which describe and illustrate a preferred embodiment thereof.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a front perspective view of the device, in attached position; and
Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 22 of Fig. l, the device being shown secured to a wall.
Referring to the drawing, the improved device comprises a pair of spaced end metal brackets Iii; the upper rod or bar H; the lower spacing bar I2; and the holding members l3 swingably mounted on upper bar I I.
Brackets iii are complementary in every respect. Each has a vertical upper portion Illa, and a depending forwardly extending lower angular portion 1 ilb. Such angular disposition of said lower portions Ilib with respect to their respective integral upper vertical portions Isa is clearly shown in both figures of the drawing. Each upper portion Ifla of each said bracket I 25 is provided with two or more holes it for the reception of screws 25 for attaching or mounting the device on a wall, door, or other surface.
The upper end of each bracket It is inwardly turned to form the circular socket I6 for receiving and frictionally engaging the ends of upper bar Ii. Similarly, the lower forwardly projecting end of each said bracket is inwardly turned to form the circular socket I! for receiving and frictionally engaging the ends of lower bar 12.
As shown in Fig. 1, turnably mounted on up- 2 Claims. (01. 211 65 per rod H are the holding members I3 and I311. The said holding members perform precisely the same function, but differ in the manner in which they are formed. Holding members I3 are made from flat pieces of metal, whereas holding :members Isa are made from wire.
Each holding member I3 is formed with an opening I8 adjacent its forward end, the function of which will be hereinafter described. The opposite end I9 of each said holding member is loosely coiled or ringed about upper rod II, so that each said holding member is turnable on said rod and also laterally movable thereon.
Each holding member I3a is made from a single piece of wire, bent to form the depending ring 20, the other end 2I thereof being loosely looped about upper rod II, the said holding member also having an intermediate vertical shank portion 22. Similarly to holding member I3, holding members I3a are freely turnable or swingable about upper rod H from which they depend, and are also laterally movable thereon. Rings or loops 20 of said holding members I 3a performprecisely the same function as corresponding openings I8 of holding members I3.
The sectional view of Fig. 2 shows the device mounted on a wall W. In the non-holding position, the locking members I3 and I 3a depend vertically and are parallel to the wall, door or surface on which the unit is mounted. In looking position, the said holding members are angularly disposed with respect to the said wall.
Reference is made to Fig. 2 of the drawing for the explanation of inserting and locking the handle H of a mop or broom on the device. The insertion position of said handle in the said looking member is shown in broken lines in the said figure. In such instance, the locking member is turned or swung upwardly until it is in a position perpendicular to wall W and the vertical portions lOa of brackets II]. The upper end of handle H is then inserted upwardly through the bottom of hole I 8 of holding member I3. The said holding member will then be caused to move downwardly from the horizontal insertion posi-- tion (broken lines-Fig. 1) to the angular position l full lines-Figs. 1 and 2) by the downward pull of the mop or broom, until the handle thereof abuts lower bar I 2. The said bar, in addition to acting as a spacing member, also serves as a partial stop. The mop or broom is securely held on the device in depending vertical position. To release the broom or mop, it is merely necessary to raise the handle H. upwardly, thereby raising holding member I3 to a horizontal position, and
then pulling the upper projecting part of said handle downwardly through the bottom of hole 18 of said holding member.
As indicated in Fig. 2, the bar I! being spaced atrom the wall W additionally permits such bar to be used as a support for brushes or other articles by hooking them over the bar.
There has been illustrated and described a preferred embodiment of the invention. It is not desired to be limited to any specific size of device, nor to any specific material from which the parts thereof can be made.
What is claimed is:
1. A wall supported mop and broom holder comprising a pair of spaced end brackets, each said bracket having a depending forwardly extending lower angular portion, a supporting rod carried by the upper ends of said brackets adjacent the wall, a spacing rod carried by the lower angular portions of said brackets and spaced from the wall, said spacing rod being located below said upper supporting rod and anteriorly of the same, holding members swingably mounted on the supporting rod, each'of said holding members having a handle receiving opening formed adjacent the free depending end thereof, each of said holding members being swingable from a handle insertion position to a locking position when said handle abuts the spacing rod.
2. A holder for mops, brooms, and the like in accordance with claim 1, in which the upper and lower ends of each bracket are provided with integral sockets, the said sockets receiving and frictionally engaging the ends of the supporting and spacing rods.
