Abstract
A simple, lightweight T-shaped mop head and handle device accomplishes a variety of dry or wet mopping as well as dusting jobs. The structure is preferrably fabricated from two lengths of lightweight aluminum tubing attached in a T-configuration by an aluminum, generally U-shaped bracket and two rivets. Lengths of any of a variety of fabric or synthentic materials may be wrapped around the cross head of the device. An upwardly projecting stud may be provided adjacent each end of the cross head of the device to hold the material wrapped therearound in place.
Claims2
A combination mop and dusting fabric holder comprising an elongated tubular handle member, and an elongated, substantially cylindrical tubular cross head member fixed at right angles relative to said handle member by a generally U-shaped bracket means defining a generally T-shaped assembly, said U-shaped bracket means comprising a pair of leg portions fixed to opposite sides of a first end portion of said tubular handle and a base portion fixed to the mid-portion of said cross head, said bracket leg portions being curved transversely, inwardly to conform with and engage against the contour of the outer circumference of said handle first end portion,
- said bracket base portion being curved to conform with and engage against the contour of the outer circumference of said cross head, said handle first end portion terminating in an arcuate configuration bearing against and conforming with the contour of the outside diameter of said cross head,
- a single rivet rigidly fixing said bracket leg portions and said handle first end portion,
- a single rivet passing through the central portion of said cross head and said bracket at the juncture of said leg portions and said bracket base for rigidly coupling the same, a stud extending generally upwardly through each end portion of said cross head adjacent opposite ends of the cross head, each stud providing a headed lower end and an upwardly projecting portion, and
- an elongated cap of a synthetic material press fitted over each said upwardly projecting portion and engaging the cross head to fix the stud.
