plus water from the mop or any saturated fabric.
In the drawings:*Figure 1 is a vertical cross section onthe line 1, 1 of Fig. 3, with the operating lever raised to nearly a vertical position; Fig. 2 is a fragmem tary: view showing a modification of the movable presser in cross section; Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the wringer; and Fig. 4 is a side-elevation of the same.
Similarnumerals refer to similar parts in all the views.
'lhe wringer, broadly speaking, coniprisesa frame supporting a stationary presser, a cooperating movable presser, means for attaching thewringer to a pail and means for operat ing and adjusting the movable presser.
The side frames 1 and 2 of the wringer are of the form shown in Figs. 1 and 4, and are preferably made of metal. A stationary-presserboard 3, supported between lugs or flanges 3 on the frames, separates the sides. and the hitter are held in place by transverse bolts 4.
1. Tongues (5, bearing against the outside of the pail, and the ends 7 touching the inside, hold the wringer securely in place.
In the upper part of each side-plate is a horizontal slot 8. The operating-shaft 9 extends through both of said sl0ts, having a sliding fit therein. Holes 10, in line with the slots 8, form bearings for another shaft 11, parallel to the operating shaft.
The mnvable presser. as illustrated in Fig. 1, issupported between two channeled bars 12, and comprises two perforated plates 13 and '14. .Brackets lfi on said bars support the bottom piece 16, which is usually of wood, as are also the presser'plates'13 and-14. A' transverserod or bolt 17, connecting the lower ends of the side plates 1 and'2, forms a pivot for the bars 12. The operating means for moving the pressenplat ismtached to ears or lugs 18 on the rear of said bars. The
upper supplemental part 13 of the resser-plate is piv- Openings or slots 5 in the sides 1 and 2 areadapted to fit overthe edge of a pail, as shown in Fig.
, squeezed. 7
against the rear of the supplemental plate 13 and is held in place by studs 22 screwed into the bars 12 through slots 21 in said spring. The upper edge of the spring pressed nleinher 13 projects inwardly beyond the inner face of the member 14 so that when the movable presser is movedtoward the fixed presser 3 its upper spring pressed part l3will begin to squeeze the mop at its top just in advance of the action by .the member 14. This prevents the water from being thrown upward and also makes provision for inequalities in the mop being In Fig. 2 is shown a modified form of the movable presser. In this case the side bars are made in two sections 24 and 26, which are pivoted together at 23.
A presser plate 25 is supported between the two upper sections. This plate is normally held back bya leaf spring 27, which is screwed at 28 to the bottom plate 29, and is bent upward against said plate. Another fiat spring 27 secured to the lower section 26 bears against the other side of said presser-plate, in a direc tion contrary to the spring 27. The presser-plate 25 is thus yieldingly held in an upright position,- in alinement with the lowersection 26. Ears or lugs 18 project from the rear of the bars 24, and a spring'40 is slipped over each. The pivot, at the end of each operating link 32 slides in a slot 40 in said ears, and the spring 40 acts as a cushion between said link and the pressenplate 25, to prevent breakage of .the latter.-
7 The operating mechanism, or means for moving the presser-plate. is actuated by the movement of the handlever 30. which is fixed in a casing 39 at one end of the shaft 9. Near each end of said shaft is fixed a pair of oppositely-disposed cranks, one of each pair being hetween the side frames 1 and 2. and the other of each pair being just outside the said frames. (Figs. 1 and 4.)
Links 32 pivoted at 44 connect the inner pairof cranks 31 with the ears or lugs 18, and similar links 36 and 37 pivoted at 45 connect the outside cranks 34 and 35 with pins 38, which project outwardly from the ends of the shaft 11. When the lever 30 is depressed toward the stationary plate 3, the shaft 9 turns in the slot 8, and the cranks 31, 34 and 35, and their connecting pivots, react as a powerful compound toggle between the pins 38 and the presser-platel4, and the latter'is, therefore, moved into proximity to the plate 3, with sufficient force to squeeze nearly dry a mop or similarly saturated lever 41 outward. it may be turned to the desired posi- I tion, and then held in place by a stationary'pin 43, which is adapted to enter any one of a number of holes 42 in said lever.
Movement of the lever 30 beyond a certain point is prevented by a stop or lug 35 on the casing 39,- which comes in contact with the under side'of one link 36.
when said lever is depressed to nearly a horizontal position. I
What I claim is 1. A mop \vringer comprising a frame having parallel side pieces provided with transverse slots, a stationary presser member fixedly secured between said side pieces, a movable presser member supported between said side pieces, an operating rock shaft turning in and. movable along said slots and provided with oppositely disposed cranks, links pivotally connecting. the-cranks with the movable presser member and with a relatively fixed hearing respectively, and means for rocking said shaft.
