v o. KEEP? MOP Filed April 4, 1923 WITN ESS INVENTOR ATTOR N EY Patented Sept. 23, 1924,
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
DUNCAN KEIR, OF ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY.
MOP.
Application filed April 4,
T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DUNCAN Knrn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Atlantic City, in the county of Atlantic and State of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements in Mops, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in mops, an object being to provide simple and easily operated means for wringing the mop.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a mop which will cover a relatively large surface and which is provided with means whereby pressure may be applied to the mop fabric for the removal of surplus water, the invention further including convenient means whereby the fabric may be rolled for the application of such pressure.
lVith the above and other objects in view the invention further includes the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claim.
In the drawings 2- Figure 1 is a. plan View of a mop constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a side view of the same.
Figure 8 is a View similar to Figure 2 with the mop shown in position for wring Figure 1 is a sectional view with the parts arranged as shown in Figure 3.
Referring in detail to the drawings, wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates a pair of spaced bearing arms whose inner ends are connected to the handle 11, while mounted between the outer ends of these arms are parallel rollers 12 and 13. i
The roller 12 has secured thereto as shown at 14, one end of a fabric strip 15 of suitable character. The other roller 13 is mounted for movement relative to the roller 12 and for this purpose its pintles 16 are slidable within slots 17 provided in the arms 10. Pivotally secured to these pintles upon the outside of the arms 10 are bars or rods 17, which are also pivotally secured as shown at 18 to the opposite ends of a yoke or lever 19, the latter being pivotally mounted as 1923. Serial No. 629,837.
shown at 20 upon a bracket 21 secured to the handle 11.
Extending from one end of the roller 12 is a crank arm 22 by means of which the said roller is rotated for the purpose of rolling the strip 15 thereon so that when pressure of the roller 13 is exerted against this strip, surplus water may be wrung therefrom. This wringing operation will occur as the strip is wound upon the roller 12 so that all surplus water may be effectually removed. Pressure of the roller 13 against the strip 15 is effected by swinging the free end of the yoke or lever 19 toward the handle 11, while for the purpose of conveniently rotating the roller 12, the crank arm 22 is provided with a handle or grip 23 which is pivotally mounted upon said crank arm so that it may be moved to the position shown by the dotted lines in Figure 1. A spring 24 which has its opposite ends connected to the crank arm and handle 23 serves to yieldingly hold the latter in the full line position shown in Figure 1, so that the said crank arm will not interfere with the mopping operation.
The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appended claim.
Havingdescribed the invention what is claimed is A mop of the character described comprising a pair of spaced bearing arms, a handle extending therefrom, rollers arranged parallel and one above the other, the upper roller having its pintle slidable within slots in said bearing arms, a strip of fabric secured to and adapted to be wound upon the lower roller, a substantially yokeshaped member pivotally mounted upon the handle, bars pivotally connected to the free ends of said yoke-shaped member and the projecting pintles on said upper roller respectively, a substantially L-shaped crank arm having one leg forming the pintle of the lower roller, and its other end normally extending longitudinally of the mop and means for holding said crank arm in an inoperative position.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signa ture.
DUNCAN KEIB.
