Description
Sept. 2, 1952 L; MYSHOCK MOP HOLDER AND FOUNTAIN SPRAY- DEVICE Filed April 4, 1951 INVEN TOR. LOU/5 MYSHOCK W M A77'ORNEK Patented Sept. 2, 1952 PAT N OFFICE MOP HOLDER AND FOUNTAIN SPRAY nsvron 4 Louis Myshock, Detroit, Mich.
Application April 4, 1951. Serial No. 219,292
'4 Claims.'. (Cl. 299-412) The holder has been designed for use witha mop including an oblong sleeve, the holder and the mop being normally curved into a loop. The holder of my invention is of a novel and useful construction, including novel interlocking means between' its ends; Additionally, the holder is of a type which is adapted to convey water or other liquid to the mop which is mounted on said holder. Another feature of my improvement is the fact that the holder is devoid of all metal parts, thus eliminating the danger of cutting or scratching objects which in the operative use of the mop may come in contact therewith.
This and other features will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing: in
which:
Fig. 1 is a plan elevational view of my holder, the holder being equipped with a handle and supporting a conventional sleeve-equipped mop;
Fig. 2 is a plan elevational view of the holder with the handle therein, the holder and the handle being shown partly in section;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of the handle-receiving portion of the mop holder and of the adjoining part of the body thereof;
Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the handle-receiving portion of the holder, the view having been taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of an element of my holder.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
The mop holder of my construction is preferably made of rubber or some other flexible material and includes a tubular mop II] closed upon itself to form a circular loop. The loop is provided with an integrally-connected shank II disposed in radial relation to said circular loop. The shank is hollow to form a socket I2, the interior of the socket opening into the interior I3 of the tubular member ID. The latter extends laterally from the shank, as best shown in Fig. 3, and terminates with a solid end I4, the end having fiat sides and a corrugated, that is, an indented, surface I5. 'Said end is adapted to enter the interior of said shank II. For that purpose the shank is provided with a slot I6 opening from the outside into said shank and having flat sides I! and a bottom I8 which is indented or corrugated in a manner analogous to that shown at I5 in the above-said solid end I4. At their inner ends the sides of the slot flare out, as shown at I9.
It will be noted that the interior of socket I2 opens into the interior I3 of member In. The
2 latter member is provided with a plurality of small holes 26 all along its length for discharge of water or any other liquid from the interior of said member. The socket I2 is threaded internally, as shown at 2|, for receptionof a handle 22, the handle being correspondingly threaded externally at one end, as shown at 23. The handle is preferably hollow, as shown at 24, although a solid handle may be used with my holderv when no liquid is to be conveyedinto the holder. Figsfl and 2 'show the position of the handle within the socket I2 of my holder.
The mop which is supported by the holder is shown in Fig. 1 and indicated generally by numeral 25. The sleeve part of the mop is indicated by numeral 26 and the loose cords of the mop are marked 21.
The use of the holder is quite obvious. Assuming that the solid end I4 of the tubular member I6 is out of slot I6 in the shank II, the sleeve 26 of the mop 25 may be thrust upon the tubular member II) at that end until it covers the length of said member ID with the exception of its portion adjoining the shank itself. This is shown in Fig. 1. Thereupon, said solid end I4 may be inserted into slot I6 so that individual teeth or corrugations I5 will, fit the corresponding corrugations I8 within said slot. The sides of end I4 will abut in a liquid-tight manner the sides I! of the slot. It will be seen that said end I4 reaches inwardly into the shank approximately up to the center thereof, leaving a free passage marked by an arrow for admission of water from socket I2 into the interior of member II). The handle 24, when screwed into said socket I2, will bear against the top of the solid end I4 of member ID, holding said end I4 in an interlocking engagement with teeth I8 within the shank so that said end may not be withdrawn from slot I6. Water or any other liquid admitted into the handle from its outer end will pass from said handle into the tubular member I I] and will be disposed through holes 26 towards the sleeve 26 and the loose cords 21 of the mop.
If the mop is to be removed from the holder the handle may be partly unscrewed, permitting the withdrawal of solid end I I from the slot I6, whereupon the mop may be removed from said member II).
It will be understood that some changes may be made in the construction of my holder without departing from the inventive idea disclosed herein.
What I, therefore, wish to claim is as follows:
1. In combination, a mop holder having a shank provided with an internally threaded socket and being provided on one side with a lateral slot opening into said socket from outside, the bottom of the slot being indented and facing the interior of said socket, an integrally formed flexible body radially extending from the shank at its opposite side, said body describing a loop and terminating with an end adapted to enter said slot, said end having an indented surface for engagement with the indented bottom of the slot, and a handle having a threaded end for insertion into the socket, said threaded end being adapted to bear against the end of the flexible body within the slot to cause the indentations of said end to interlock with the indentations within the slot.
2. In combination, a mop holder having a shank provided with an internally threaded socket and being provided on one side with a lateral slot opening into said socket from outside, the bottom of the slot being indented and facing the interior of said socket, an integrally formed flexible body radially extending from the shank at its opposite side, said body describing a loop, the body being tubular and provided all along its l ength with a plurality of holes in its wall and terminating with a solid end adapted to enter said slot, said end having an indented surface for engagement with the indented bottom of the slot, and a tubular handle threaded at one end for entry into said socket, said end of the handle being adapted to bear against the end of the flexible tubular body within the slot to causethe indentations of said end of the flexible body to interlock with the indentations within the slot, the interior of the socket opening into the interior of said flexible body.
3. A mop holder of the kind described, said holder comprising a shank having a threaded socket therein, a flexible tubular body integrally connected to the shank and radially extending from one side thereof to form a loop, the body terminating with a solid corrugated end, the opposite side of the shank being provided with a corrugated slot opening thereto from outside, the solid end of the tubular body of the holder being adapted to be inserted into said slot for an interlocking engagement with said slot, the interior of the shank opening into said tubular body, the wall of the latter being provided with a plurality of holes for release of liquids conveyed into the tubular body of the holder.
- 4. In combination, a holder of the kind described, said holder comprising a shank containing a threaded socket therein and being provided with a laterally-disposed slot opening into the socket from outside, the bottom of the slot being provided with corrugations facing the interior of the socket, a flexible tubular body extending radially from the shank describing a loop and terminating with a solid end, the end having corrugations thereon, a tubular handle having a threaded end to fit into said socket, said end of the handle being adapted to bear against the solid end of the body to interlock the corrugations thereof with the corrugations within the slot, the interior of the socket being open into the interior of the tubular body of the handle While the wall of the holder is provided with a plurality of holes for discharge of liquids from withinsaid holder.
