Definitions

  • This invention relates to mops, and more particularly to mops which may be wrung out by twisting the mop strands about the mop handle.
  • the aim of my invention is to provide a mop which improves upon prior mop con'- structions, and to provide a mop which is simple and durable in construction. and to provide a mop which may, with a minimum amount of effort and exertion, 'be used, wrung out, relieved of mop strands. and replenished with other mop strands.
  • Another object of my invention is to provide a mop having means for automaticallv holding the mop strands twisted about the handle, which means are simple in construction and may quickly and easily be operated to hold the strands in, or to release the strands from such position.
  • a further object of my invention is to provide an improved socket which holds the mop strands against slipping.
  • Fig. 1 is an elevation of a side of a mop embodying my invention in position for use;
  • Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing the mop strands locked in twisted position about the handle;
  • Fig. 3 is a central Vertical section through the lower elements ofv the mop, certain parts being broken away to more clearly bring out the details of the construction;
  • Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3; and
  • Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Fig' 3.
  • My present construction improves upon said construction by providing mechanical means for holding the mop strands extended along and twisted about the handle, thereby avoiding the continued manual exertion heretofore necessary in holding the strands so extended and twisted during the continuance of the wringing operation, and in addition providing means for placing the mop in more convenient and Sanitary shape for Storage and transportation.
  • buttons 15 and 15 on sleeve 13 pro- -vide a ratchet button 15 on sleeve 13) and a cooperating ratchet or ratchets 16 on sleeve 3.
  • the inner end of button 15 provides a shoulder 17 adapted to engage the shoulder 18 of one of the ratchets 16 to prevent the turning of the sleeve 13 about the handle 1, and there is suflicient fric-tional engagement between the button 15 and ratchet 16 laterally to prevent sleeve 13 from sliding down the handle 1.
  • Button 15 has a square portion 19 and an annular extended ortion 20, and is mounted for radial reciprocation in a hole 21 m sleeve 13,
  • mop strands normally and automatically ⁇ bunch at the lower end of. the mop when held in Vertical position and unless prevented by manual operation, and the mop strands are so bunched when-ever the mop is laid aside or transported.
  • button 15 adjacent shoulder 17 is preferably tapered outwardly, as at 24, and is adapted to be engaged by the tapering surfaces 25 of the ratchet 16, so that when no inward pressure is exerted upon button 15, the turning of the sleeve 13 in twisting direction about handle 1 ⁇ throws but-ton 15 outwardly. and allows the sleeve 13 to be turned in unt-Wisting direction on handle 1, and also to slide downward thereon so long as no inward pressure is applied to button 15.
  • the button 15 and ratchet 16 cooperate in the above described. manner particularly well when the mop is held in Vertical positon.
  • I provide means upon the socket 8 for preventing mop strands attached to the socket from slipping or twisting thereon.
  • I V crimp or corrugate a portion of the outer periphery of the s'ock-l thus serve to hold the mop st-rands against slipping and turningon socket 8.
  • lSleeve 3 including the threaded portion for the ratchet portions 16 and the inter-l mediate portion, may be provided by one 5 or more separate pieces as desired.
  • sleeve ⁇ 3 is made in two pieces, one piece including the ratchet 16 and intermediate portion, and the other piece constituting a ferrule providin the threaded end L1. These portions may e lsecured against sliding and rotation upon the handle 1. by means of nails or by indenting the metal, as at 27.
  • the interior threads 9 of the socket 8 may v be arranged to extend only to the crimp portion 26.
  • the handle 1 may be provided with an extension 28 below its threads 2 adapted to seat within the socket 8 behind the crimp portion and to extend to the; end of the socket.
  • Sleeve 3 may like- Wise be provided With an extended portion 219 arranged to surround portion 28 of hancle 1.
  • the quantity of material of the mop head bunched at the end of the handle makes it possible to clean a large amount of floor space in a little time. thus much time is savedy as well as strength.
  • a mop of this yconstruction is as simple as the prior constructions and may be used Without. the operator touching the mop head with the hand. The operator may also at all timesstand Comfortably erect.
  • the mop may be wrung by holding it in Vertical position, securing the sleeve 13 in the left hand and rotating the handle to the right With the right hand, while 1 holding the socket stationary and pressing the ratchet button inwardly Vat the same time.
  • What I claim is 1.
  • a button loosel mounted in a radial perforation in said sleeve and having a shoulder at its inner end, a ratchet surface on the handle adjacent the shoulder of the button and adapted to coact therewith, the outer end of said button protruding from said perforation whereby the shoulder may be moved manually into coaction with said ratchet surface, and said ratchet surface and shoulder when coacting having a tapered engagement whereby relative rotative movement between said shoulder and ratchet places the shoulder and ratchet out of coacting relation.
