Description
JAMES F. McLAU'GrI-ILIN, 0F ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA.
MOP.
Speciication of Letters Patent.
Patented (1ct. 12, 1909.
Application filed April 25, 1908. Serial No. 429,119.
To all whom it 'may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES F. MCLAUGH- LIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Erie, in the county of Erie and State 0i" Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Mops, of which the following is a specification.`
This invention relates to mops and consists in certain improvements in the construction thereof as will be hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.
rIhe object of the invention is to provide a mop which will carry a mop cloth, and also a mop brush either together or separately.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings as follows:
Figure 1 shows the mop head partially opened. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the head closed with a brush in place. F ig. 3 a front elevation, with the parts similarly arranged.
1 marks the mop stick. rIhe end 1a of the stick is cut down slightly from the size of the remaining stick. A thimble 2 is secured to the end of the stick and has the double lips 3 at each side forming the groove or guide way 4L between them. rlhe head 5 is carried by the sliding supports G. These sliding supports 6 extend through the way 4. The sliding supports terminate in a ring T which encircles the stick, the ring being of suificient size to operate over a coiled spring 8.
A lever 10 is secured to the projections 9 on the end .of the spring 8 at each side, the spring forming a fulcrum or base for the lever. The bail 11 is pivotally secured to the lever and extends through the grooves 12 on the head, and is arranged in proper relation to the head to engage a cloth to clamp it on the head. Y
A brush finger 13 is xed on the thimblel 2, and has a lug 111 for engaging the end of the brush. Lugs 15 extend from the head 5 in position to engage the opposite side of the brush. A brush 16 is shown in place in Figs. 2 and 8.
' The bail has a turn 17 which will engage the head before the lever 10 is thrown the limit of its movement in the opening direction, thus the head 5 is moved suiiiciently to open the jaws for the brush by the action of the lever. l
lVhen it is desired to place a cloth in the mop it is put into position between the bail and the head, the lever being thrown forward or toward the end of the stick. As the lever is drawn back the spring 8 yields sufficiently to allow for the insertion of the cloth. At the completion of the movement of the lever the centers are brought to such a position to lock the lever in its closed position against the stick. The cloth is then clamped between the bail and the head by the force of the spring. The end of the thimble forms a stop which limits the rearward movement of the head with relation to the stick, so that the spring is compressed slightly when the bail is brought into position on the head regardless of whether there is a brush in the clamp or not.
Vhen the head is pushed forward by the action of the turn 17 and lever, a brush 16 may be readily inserted between the brush finger and the head. As the lever is drawn back in the manner of clamping the cloth the bail is drawn against the head, and the head against the brush, so as to firmly clamp the brush in place, the brush forming in this instance the stop for the head. The throw of the lever is long enough and the play of the coiled spring suflicient to permit the insertion of both the cloth and the brush. On the other hand the spring will be put under compression with an insertion of cloth alone, the head being against the stop or thimble 2.
IVhat I claim as new is:
1. In a mop, the combination of a stick; a head slidingly mounted on the stick; a brush linger iXedly mounted on the stick; a stop for limiting the movement of the head on the stick; a bail operating on the head to clamp a mop; and a yielding pressure device for the bail adapted to actuate the bail to yieldingly engage the head.
2. In a mop, the combination of a mop stick; a support having a sliding engagement with the stick, said sliding support terminating in a ring surrounding the stick; a head secured to the support; a bail for clamping a mop on the head; a brush finger lixedly mounted on the stick opposite the head; a spring mounted on the stick; and means for conveying the pressure of the spring to the bail.
3. In a mop, the combination of a mop stick; a thimble at the end of the stick having guiding lips thereon; a head having supports slidingly mounted between said lips; a bail for clamping a mop on the head; a brush finger lixedly mounted on said thimble opposite the head; and a yielding pressure device for the bail adapted to actuate the bail.
4. In a mop, the combination of a mop` stick; a thimble on the end of the stick having guiding lips thereon; a head having supports sldingly mounted between said guiding lips; a ring secured to the supports and encircling the stick; a bail acting on the head; a brush linger Xedly mounted on the thimble opposite the head to clamp a mop thereto; a coiled spring surrounding the head extending Within the ring against the thimble; and means for conveying the pres-v sure of the spring to the bail.
5. In a mop, the combination of a mop
