MOP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed September 13, 1909.
Patented July 5, 1910. Serial No. 517,540.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES WV. Horn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mops, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in mops.
The object of the invention'is to provide adjustable means for securely holding the mop-yarn during the mopping operation, and from which means the mop yarn can be easily and readily detached.
Another object of the invention is to provide the mop yarn with the attaching means whereby it is held in the mop handle instead of providing the handle itself with said attaching means.
Reference will be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and wherein like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, in which:
Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view showing only a fragment of the handle and with the mop yarn illustrated in dotted lines, Fig. 2, is a transverse sectional view taken on line 22' of Fig. 1, Fig. 3 is a similar view taken on line 33 of Fig. 1, Fig. 4:, is a view similar to Fig. 1 of a modified form, Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the mop yarn with the attaching bolt wired thereto, Fig. 6, is a top plan view thereof, and Fig. 7 is a View in elevation of a modified form of bolt.
In the modified form, illustrated in Fig. 7, the attaching screw 7 instead of being provided with an eye, is formed with opposite lateral extensions 9 providing seats or sockets 9 for the binding wire as in Fig. 5, the seats or sockets 9 serving the same as the seats or sockets 9 of the heart-shaped eye form.
In Fig. 1, the malleable head 2 is formed with a socket 14: in which is held a nut 15, the socket conforming to the shape of the nut to prevent the latter from turning. The nut rests on an annular shoulder 16 and is held in its socket by the lower end of the handle 1, the handle itself seating upon a shoulder 17 formed on the head 1. The nut 15 is provided with a central threaded aperture through which the threaded shank of the attaching screw 7 is screwed; the projecting end of the screw shank is then screwed into the wood handle.
In Fig. 4, instead of employing a separate nut, a web portion 18 is cast integral with the head and provided with a threaded aperture into which the threaded shank of the attaching screw 7 is screwed in the same manner as in the form illustrated in Fig. 1, except that the projecting end of the screw 7 is not screwed into the handle 1, the latter being bored out as at 19, however, it is immaterial as to whether or not the screw screws into the handle 1 or not.
The mop yarns are furnished from the factory with the attaching screws 7 wired in place as illustrated in Fig. 5, and when the consumer receives the same, all that is necessary is to screw the attaching screw into the nut 15 of the form shown in Fig. 1, or the web-portion 18 of the form shown in Fig. 4 and the device is then ready for service.
V upper portionsof the-binding wires.10,,will
attaching screw and binding wire. It will also be noted that when the attaching screwv is screwed entirely into the head that the engage the upper wall of the bell and the binding'wire thereby pressed firmly down Q .7 wardly'upon the mopyarn, the'socket por "-tions 9 of the-screw meanwhile pressing the binding-wires upward'ly upon the mop yarn, Qthereby doubly clamping the yarn against displacement, and serving as a frictional locking device against, unscrewing of the atf'tachingscrew. Y -The device presents a neat appearance; and is cheap,-clean and durable; and'being constructed of malleable metal is not likely to break; andfthe construction is such that A it will not mar thesurface to be cleaned.
. Having-fiilly'described the invention, what is claimed as new and useful and desired to bexsecured by Letters Patent is -l..--I n a device of the character described, a mop-yarn, a screwfor attachin the mopyarn to a mop-head; said screw eing r0- ivided with an eye formed with a plura ity of oppositely disposed socket or seat portions, and a wire embracin themop-yarn and passing through the said eye and seated in the said socket 'or seat portions thereof.
2. In a device of the character described, a mop-yarn, a screw for attaching the 111010- yarn to a mop-head, said screw being formed with a'pair of oppositely disposed's'eat or socket members, and a binding wire embracing a portion of the mop-yarn and being seated int-he said seat or socket members. In testimony whereof I aifix my signature in presence of two witnesses. V
