MOP OR BRUSH HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 550,269, dated November 26, 1895.
Application filed May 6, 1895. Serial No. 548,246. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, AUGUST S. HELD, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Freeport, in the county of Stephenson and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mop or Brush Holders, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in mop or brush holders. of that class in which a suitable handle is provided with a head made up of two preferably serrated pivotallyconnected jaws adapted to be forced together and to press between their edges either a mopragor the back of a suitable brush.
The invention relates tothe means for connecting the two jaws which make up the head, and is fully described and explained in this specification, and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of a head embodyin g my improvements, the view being in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 3. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same head, the view being in the opposite direction to that in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an edge elevation of the head,
partly in section, the view being in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a similar view of one of the jaws and the shank and ferrule, by means of which it is fastened to the handle. Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 3, illustrating a slight modification of the device shown in the previous figures. Fig. 6 is a transverse section through the line 6 6, Fig. 4. Fig. 7 is a transverse section through the line 7 7, Fig. 5.
In the form shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4,and 6Ais a handle of ordinary construction, and B is a screw-threaded ferrule fitted upon and secured to the end of the handle. The end of the ferrule is formed with a shank B, terminating in two arms B B supporting a transverse jaw B having a preferably serrated margin. A second jaw 0, having two arms 0 O pivoted at their ends to the shank B, is adapted to co-operate with the jaw B the pressure of the two jaws being sufficient to hold between them a mop-rag or the back of a brush. A wing-nut D is mounted on the ferrule B and serves to actuate the arms 0 O of the jaw C forthe purpose of pressing the jaw toward the jaw B formed on the shank B. The shank B has on either lateral face an outwardly-opening recess 17, and the inner faces of the ends of the arms 0 C are provided with lugs or gudgeons c 0, adapted to enter the recesses b b and seat themselves in the inner ends thereof, the two jaws being pivoted together by means of the gudgeons on one jaw engaging the recesses in the other. The inner edge of the shank B is slightly wedgeshaped, as shown in cross-section in Fig. 6, and if the ends of the arms 0 O of the jaw 0 be placed in the position shown in Fig. 6, the gudgeons c 0 being contiguous to the inner edge of the shank B, suitable pressure upon the jaw O and arms 0 C, exerted in the direction indicated by the arrow in said Fig. 6, is sufficient to spring the ends of the arms apart, pass the gudgeons over the thickest portion of the shank, and enter them in the recesses b 19, opening outward, as already described. The ends of the two arms 0 O are approximately segments of circles, and the shank B is formed with lugs b 1), adapted to impinge upon the ends of the arms when the latter are in working position and prevent escape of the gudgeons through the outwardly-open ends of the recesses 12 b.
- Figs. 5 and 7 illustrate a construction in which the shank B is formed with a transverse hole adapted to receive the ends of the gudgeons, the inner edge of the shank being made slightly wedge-shaped in order that it may spring apart the ends of the arms 0 O as the movable jaw is brought into connection with the stationary jaw of the device.
The two forms thus illustrated and do scribed are equally practical and operative, but the one shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 is slightly cheaper than the other, for the reason that the use of the recessed shank dispenses with the necessity for drilling the hole to receive the gudgeons o c, the shank and its recesses being so shaped as to be formed completely in casting and require no machine work in assembling the parts of the device.
The operation of the two devices shown and described is evident from the foregoing explanation and need not be recapitulated.
Having now described and explained myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination with a ferrule, B, pro- 5 vided with the shank, B, and jaw, B formed integral therewith, of the jaw, C, having the arms, 0, C, the ends of the arms, and the shank, B, being provided with co-acting lugs and recesses adapted to be brought into en- 10 gageinent by springing the arms and when in such engagement to pivotally connect the two jaws.
2. The combination with the ferrule, 13, having the recessed shank, B, and jaw, B, of the jaw, 0, having arms,- 0, C, formed with 15 lugs, c, c, engaging the recesses in the shank, and the wing nut, D, mounted upon the ferrule and adapted to actuate the arms, (3, O, and jaw, C.
