SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 754,254, riated lkiiarch 8, Application filed January 15, 1908, deriai No. 139,208. (Ho model.) i
To all whom it may concern.-
\ Be it known thatl, JOHN STEWART STEWART- NALLAOE, justice of the peace, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at 'Redhill, Knock, in the countyof Down, Ireland, have invented certain new and usefwl ini irovenients structing a device of such character which shall be durable and etficient in its use.
To this end the invention consists of the novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more specifically described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.
3 in an extended position and in a twisted posiln describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings,
forming a part of this-specification, wherein like reference characters. denote corresponding parts throughout the several views; and in which Figures 1 and 2 are side elevationsof a de vice constructed in accordance with my invention and showing, respectively, the mop-cloth tion. Fig. is a detail longitudinal sectional view of the niop handle and sleeve, showing the groove in the handle and the lugs on the sleeve projecting in said groove to prevent rotation of the sleeve on the handle. Fig. l is a detail showing the connection of the spring for rotating the spindle.
Referring to the drawings hyret'erence-'lettors, A denotes the handle, which has fitted to its lower end a scrubbing-brush B. A longitudinally-extending groove (6 is provided in the handle A for a purpose to be hereinafter referred to. The handle A is provided with a suitable recess, in which is arranged an 01'- dinary form of spring catch or stop a.
Mounted for longitudinal movement upon the handle A is sleeve D, which is formed witha plurality oi inwardly-extending lugs a", fitting into the groove a in the lrundle as clearly snown in Z. The inwardiypro: jeeting lugs of the slecveil'r eti'ectually preventrotation of said sleeve I upon the handle A, while permitting free longitudinal movement of the sleeve 1). it willbe observed that the sleeve D in its movement in one direction on the handle A rides over the catch or stop a and is held against movement in the other direction on the handle A until said spring catcho is depressed.
Formed upon the sleeve D isa plurality of projections 61, in which is journaledarotary spindle (Z, having a handwheel or other suitable device (Z to permit of rotating said spindle d. a
The mop-cloth G is attached at one end to the handle A and at its other end to the rotary i spindle d. It will beapparent that by rotating the spindle (Z the mop-cloth is effectually wrung and freed from water or otherliqnid with which it may be saturated.
Fixed atone end to the spindle (land. at its other end to one of the projections 66 and surrounding the spindle dis a coil-spring d which is put under tension by the rotation of the spindle a? in. one direction, and when the spindle d is released the spring acts to causes re verse rotation of the spindle d after the mopcloth has been wrung, and which effects the speedy untwisting of the mop-cloth.
In using the device it will be understood that the spring-catch a is depressed and the die carried by said sleeve, a n10p-eloth attached hand, in presence of two subscribing Witnesses, at onelend to said lgandle and at the other end this 16th day of December, 1902.
to sai rotary spin 1e, means for rotating said spindle to twist the mop-cloth and a spring J ART STEWART WALLACE adapted to resist said twisting operation, so as Witnesses:
to untwist the mop-cloth when released. "1. SELBY VVARDLE,
