CHARLES HE EPE United States Patent 3,178,749 FLOOR MOP WITH SPONGE-TYPE REFILL ELEMENT Charles Heepe, Brooklyn, N.Y., assignor to Ideal Rubber Products (10., Brooklyn, N.Y. Filed Mar. 19, 1963, Ser. No. 266,421 6 Claims. (Cl. 15-244) This invention relates to a floor mop having a sponge type of refill cleaning element. It will, however, be understood that the invention is not limited to the use of a sponge as the cleaning element, but may be applied to other mops having a refill type of cleaning element. Nor is the invention limited to floor mops, but may encompass all kinds of cleaning, polishing and waxing implements and the like having a refill type of cleaning, polishing, waxing, etc. element.
For purposes of clarity, the invention will be described solely in terms of its application to a floor mop having a cellulose sponge cleaning element. Essentially, such device comprises a mop head, a handle secured thereto, and a refill type of cleaning element which is detachably 'mounted on the mop head. The invention relates to the means for detachably mounting said cleaning element on said mop head.
The principal object of this invention is the provision of a mop of the character described, having a mop head and a refill type of cleaning element detachably secured thereto, the securing means comprising a pair of screw elements which interconnect the mop head and the refill element and means for adjustably positioning said screw elements on said refill.
The combination of a mop handle, a mop head and a refill cleaning element detachably mounted on the mop head is not new and is well known to the prior art. The conventional means for detachably securing the cleaning element to the mop head is a pair of screws which must temporarily be held in place on the cleaning element in order to align them with holes provided in the mop head preparatory to threading said screws through said holes. Temporary positioning means to efiect such alignment of the screws with the holes in the mop head are not provided on any of the mops of the prior art. It is a relatively difiicult matter, therefore, especially for the average housewife, to attach a conventional refill type of cleaning element to a mop head by the means hereinabove described.
In the present invention, however, temporary positioning means are provided, such means consisting of a pair of slots or channels for the screw shanks and a pair of spring elements engaging the screw heads, said spring elements being coextensive with said slots or channels, so that no matter where the screws are positioned, they will there be held in place. In short, the screws are manually moved along their respective slots or channels into registering positions with respect to the holes in the mop head. The spring elements tend to hold the screws in such positions, and it therefore becomes a very simple and easy matter to thread the screws through the holes in the mop head and to secure the refill thereto.
Another object of this invention resides in the fact that this construction provides important advantages to the manufacturer. For example, the screws may be applied to the refill type of cleaning element after said cleaning element is completely assembled and ready for use. Essentially, the cleaning element comprises a cellulose sponge block and a metal plate adhesively secured thereto. The slots or channels for the screws are formed in said plate. The spring elements are also formed in said plate out of the very material which is removed from the plate in order to cut the slots or channels. There is no greater effort required to assemble the screws and the mounting plate after the sponge is attached to said plate than before. In many mops of the prior art it is necessary to attach the screws to the plate before the plate is attached to the sponge block, and this obviously makes for production problems.
Still another object of the invention is the provision of a mop of the character described wherein the refill type of cleaning element is inexpensively made and assembled.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view showing a preferred embodiment of the invention.
FIGURE 2 is an exploded view thereof.
FIGURE 3 is a cross-section on the line 33 of FIG- URE 1.
FIGURE 4 is a plan view of the means for fastening the refill element to the mop head.
FIGURE 5 is a section taken on the line 55 of FIG- URE 4.
FIGURE 6 is an end elevation of the illustration of FIGURE 4.
FIGURE 7 is a cross-section on the line 7-7 of FIG- URE 4.
FIGURE 8 is an underside view of the illustration of FIGURE 6.
As has above been indicated, the present invention comprises the following component parts: A mop handle 10, a mop head 12, a refill type of cleaning element 14, and a pair of screw elements 16 detachably securing said refill element to said mop head. For purposes of illustration, the mop which is shown in the drawing is a floor mop, and its cleaning element includes or comprises a cellulose sponge block 18.
The mop handle 10 may be attached to the mop head 12 by any conventional means, and this forms no part of the present invention. The mop head is also of conventional construction and basically it comprises an elongated rectangular plate having a pair of holes 20 formed therein on opposite sides of the place where the mop handle is joined to the mop head.
Also conventional is the sponge refill 18 and the fact that said sponge refill is mounted on a connecting plate 22. This connecting plate is also generally rectangular in shape, approximately the dimensions and configuration of the mop head 12. The sponge refill 18 may be adhesively secured to said connecting plate 22. This is also conventional in the art.
Referring now to the connecting plate 22, it will be observed that two'longitudinally extending and axially aligned slots or channels 24 are formed therein. This may be done by a simple metal stamping procedure, the plate 22 being preferably made of sheet metal. The material which is removed from plate 22 in order to form slots 24 is not entirely removed therefrom, and remains attached at its respective ends to said plate as the drawing clearly shows. Stated differently, the material which is stamped out of the plate to form slots 24 is severed from said plate only along the sides of said material, the ends of the material remaining attached as before. What is thereby produced is a pair of metal strips 30 which parallel the slots coextensively therewith a spaced distance below the bottom surface of the plate.
The slots are enlarged at their adjacent ends to form receptacles 32 for the heads 34 of screws 16. In other words, it is through enlarged openings 32 that the heads of the screws may be inserted through connecting plate 22 into the space between said plate and cut out strips 30. In short, the heads of the screws will be lodged between said cut out strips on the one hand, and the bottom surface of the connecting plate on the other hand. The space is snug and the cut out strips accordingly bear against the heads of the screws and provide a spring-bearing action with respect thereto, holding the screw heads against plate 22in any position to which the screws may be moved.
It will also be observed that screws 16 are provided with square shanks or shoulders 35 adjacent their respective heads. These square shanks or shoulders ride within slots 24, and their dimensions are such that they are free to move longitudinally of the slots, but are prevented from rotating therein; As'will shortly appear, this will fix the screws against rotationwhen wingnuts38 are i pplied thereto. 7
It has above been stated that connecting plate 22 is.
being provided with depressions receiving said strips and causing face-to-face abutment of said attaching plate and said sponge block. a
3. A mop construction in accordance with claim 2 wherein said strips are struck out of said attaching plate,
said strips being free from said attaching plate along their respective sideedges and being connected to said attaching secured to the cellulose sponge block 18 by adhesive means. This is a conventional operation and any suitable water insoluble adhesive may be used for the purpose.
It will be understood that cellulose sponge, in a dry state, is a relatively stiff or rigid structure. However, no difliculty is encountered in scoring it to form grooves or. other necessary depressions. In the present case, grooves 40 are formed in the sponge block in order to receive the cut out strips 30. This permits of placing the connecting plate 22 flush against the top surface of the sponge block.
When an adhesive is applied between saidconnecting plate and said sponge block, they are securely fastened to each other.
In attaching refill 14 to mop head 12, all that-needs be done is the following: screws 16 are positioned in their respective slots 24 for registration with holes 20 in the mop head. The screws are then inserted through said holes, and the wing nuts38 are then applied to them and tightened thereon. This completes the mounting operation.
The foregoing is illustrative. of a preferred embodiment of this invention, audit will be understood that the principles described herein may berapplied to'other forms, all Within the broad spirit of the invention and the" broad scope of the claims.
What is claimed is: V
