HOP CLOTH OR MOP SWAB Filed March '7, 1958 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 www Patented Oct. 17, 1939 nNirED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.
This invention relates to a new and improved mop which is designed to be used in conjunction with a mop holder preferably of the clamping type such as shown in my copending application now Patent No. 2,093,052, granted September i4,
An object of the invention is to provide a mop having improved portions designed to cooperate with the usual clamping mechanism for clamping the mop to a holder.
A further object of the invention is to provide a mop having a structur-e particularly designed for covering the sides of the mop holder and thereby protecting furniture and baseboards from damage or scratches due to the holder corning into direct contact with such furniture or baseboards. A still further object of the invention is to simplify the construction of mops.
With these and other objects in View which will become apparent as the description proceeds the invention is more particularly set forth herebelow, claimed in the claims and shown in the drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective View of the mop prior v to its attachment to a mop holder..
Figure 2 is a perspective View taken at an angle so as to show practically a side elevation.
Figure 3 is a partial enlarged cross sectional View taken along a line extending substantially through the longitudinal center of the mop and along a warp thread illustrating the formation of the loops and the formation of the side loops prior to deflecting the side loops in order to form the side fringe.
Figure 4 is a similar view with the side loops deflected and secured in place, and
Figure 5 is a partial cross sectional view with parts shown in elevation illustrating the position taken by the side loops and main loops at a corner o-f a mop holder when the mop is clamped therein.
Referring to the drawings in which similar reference characters indicate like parts, the mop comprises three main portions. These portions are the clamping portions l0 extending throughout the greater portion of the two longitudinal sides and in the center thereof, the main mop portion Il which is generally of rectangular shape and extends between the clamping portions ll and the third main portion of the mop, the side fringes l2. The side fringes l2 extend throughout the entire side lengths of the mop.
The mop is preferably made by machine and in such construction the'warp threads I4 which are generally far coarser than the weft threads are the ones which are looped in the manner shown particularly in Figures 3 and 4 so as to form both the main mop portion H and the side fringes I2.V The weft threads l5 are interwoven so as to maintain the formed loops I6 fixed. 5 However any type of weaving maybe utilize-d provided the main characteristics set forth above are preserved. In such weaving the main clamping portions I! are also constructed and at thisV portion of the mop only two parallel loop por- 1 tions are provided at the ends of the clamping portions l0. After the mop has been preliminarily formed as above indicated the lateral side edges l1 are turned downwardly as indicated particularly in Figure 4 and are secured by stitching such as I8 to the portion i9 adjacent the bottom of the second line of loops from an edge I1.
Due to this construction the side edges I1 will be extended along a side of the last row of loops and the last two rows of loops 20 and 2| will be deflected as shown in Figure 4. It is due to this construction that the general configuration shown in Figures 1 and 2 is secured.
When the mop is assembled upon the mop holder then the side fringe loops 2li and 2| will assume substantially the position illustrated in Figure 5. In this figure the mop is mounted upon the holder 22 and clamped in position by the clamping member 23 to which the usual holder 24 is attached. Any desired form of clamping holder may be utilized. The clamp 23 will bind the clamping portions l0 upon which they can secure a rm and even hold, The main body of the mop H is disposed so as to cover the bottom of the holder and the side fringes I2 extend on to the side as previously described. Due to this construction the generally sharp edges 25 are protected by the side loops 2U and 2l from contact with furniture or baseboards. In addition the clamping portions I0 are easily accessible and indicate at all times the proper positioning of the mop upon the holder. The side fringes l2 are readily positioned in the locations designed for them.
It has been found that the most satisfactory length for the loops is from two and one-half to three inches and that the best length is substantially two and five-eighths inches.
The above construction is merely illustrative and it is desired to claim all constructions as will fall within the spirit of the following claims.
I claim:
1. A mop swab comprising a base portion, loops extending substantially normal to said base portion forming a main mop portion and loops extending substantially parallel to said base portion forming protecting side fringes, said loops being integral with the swab.
2. A mop swab comprising a rectangular base portion, loops extending substantially normal to said base portion forming a main mop portion,
loops extending substantially parallel to said base portion along two sides thereof forming protecting side fringes and two substantially smooth portions upon said base portion located between said protecting side fringes constitut- 5 ing clamping portions.
