. OP-WRINGER.

Si ECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.348,033, dated August 24, 1886.

Application filed March 20, 1856.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it knownthat I, CHARLES MILLER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Auburn, in the county of Cayuga and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mop-Wringers; and

I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of myinvention, which will enable others skilled in the to art to which it appertaius to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view showing my [5 improved mop-wringerin operation, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

My invention has relation to mop-wringers; and it consists in the improved construction and combination of parts of such a wringer, in which two rollers are secured in brackets at the lower ends of two springs, which will force the rollers together, wringing the mop when drawn between the rollers, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter 0 A indicates a tubular handle, into which the handle B of the mop C may be inserted, and two springs, D D, bulging outward at their middles, are secured at their upper ends to the lower end of this tubular handle, within 5 sockets E E upon the sides of the said end.

Abracket,F,is attached perpendicularly byits middle to the lower end of one of said springs, and a like bracket, G, is similarly attached to the lower end of the other one of said 0 springs. At each end of the bracket F there projects inwardly, at right angles to said bracket,a curved arm, K, each of which arms is provided with a longitudinal slot, L. At each end of the bracket Gthere projects inwardly, at right angles to said bracket, a curved arm, H, and each of these arms is provided near its free end with a circular bearing, M. Said free ends rest against the Serial No. 195,922. (No model.)

outside of the arms K, and their bearings register with the slots L. One of the tw0 5o rollers, lettered J, has its trunnions I passed through the slots L of the armsK, and inserted in the bearings M of the arms H. The other roller is journaled by its trunnions in the slots L of the arms K.

Brackets N project from one of the springs and straddle the other spring, and a camlever, O, is pivoted upon the doubled end of the brackets, having its eccentric head 1? hearing against the spring in such a manner that when the lever is tilted upward the springs will be forced toward each other.

It will now be seen that when the handle of the mop has been inserted into the tubular handle of the wringer, and the mop hangs be- 6 5 tween the rollers, which are spread apart by the springs, and the cam-lever is tilted, so as to force the springs together, bringing the rollers to bear against the mop, the mop may be drawn by its handle in an upward three tion, wringing the water from the mop between the rollers, which are forced together by the springs.

When the mop, has been wrung, the springs may be allowed to spring apart by depress- 5 ing the cam-lever, and the mop may be withdrawn.

The rollers may be made of wood, metal, or any elastic material, or may be made of a solid material covered by rubber or similar elastic 8o material, as desired.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- In a mop-wringer, the combination of a tubular handle, two springs secured at their upper ends to the tubular handle and having their middles bulging outward, a bracket upon the lower end of one spring having i11- wardly-projecting arms provided with bearc ings, a roller journaled with its trunnions in the bearings, a bracket secured at the lower end of the other spring and formed with inwardly-projecting longitudinally-slotted arms having the trunnions of said roller sliding in 5 the slots, another roller journaled in said slots, brackets projecting from one spring, and a cam-lever projecting from the doubled end of the brackets bearilw a ainst the outer side 1 of the other spring xx ith its eccentric cmn- CHARLES MILLER head, as and for the purpose shown and set \Vitnesses:
