Improvements in Attaching Handles to Mops and other Articles.
We HENRY GEORGE BARREY, Gentleman, 2, Solent Place, Bath Road,
Lymington, Hampshire, and BEAULIEU FRANCES BARREY, Artist, 2, Solent
Place, Bath Road Lymington, Hampshire, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved and quick method of attaching a mop or
similar implement to its handle, its better and more secure set to its work, and its
almost instant detachment when worn out; so that one handle will last out many
mops, and one connecter many handles.
It consists of a socket of
The connecter may be of any suitable metal or size.
any section, open at one end for the reception of the implement's handle, and
with a thin disc or flange fixed to the other end three or four inches in diameter
more or less concaved, ridged inside, or with a serrated edge for the better seating
and grasping of the mop or similar implement to its work. In the centre of the
disc is a hole to receive a screw pin, with a thin head, which comes down through
the mop and compresses it into the disc with any desired force. If required, a side
screw pin secures the centre pin from shifting.

HENRY GEORGE BARREY 2 Solent Place, Bath Road, Lymington, Hants,
Gentleman, BEAULIEU FRANCES BARREY, 2, Solent Place, Bath Road,
Lymington, Hants, Artist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to a new and quick method of attaching and detaching a
handle to a mop, brush or other article. The invention consists of a taper
socket A and a disc B of any size and section which may be of any suitable metal,
wrought or cast.
Fig.
to make a socket A for a scrubbing or other brush or for a mop take a
piece of iron or other metal 16 inch thick and of proper size and shape to make a
socket A 24 inches long by 1 inch in diameter at one end and 4 inch at the other.
Then take a 2 inch round washer C with a inch hole into which drive the small
end of the socket A and braze both together or lay off a flange from the socket.
Then take a piece of the same metal about 2 inches in diameter if for a scrubbing
brush with a 4 in. nut and hole in the centre, and a hole on each side to rivet or
braze it to the flange C on the socket A.
The nut D is fixed to the disc B by being let in and brazed. The disc B may
be flat or concaved to fit the form of the brush or other article which fix to it by a
screw E through the brush and the disc B to the handle. For a mop the disc B

page_text: must be about 4 inches in diameter concaved and fluted F round the edge with a
hole in the centre and fixed to the socket A. by riveting or brazing to the flange C.
So far the disc B has been considered as fixed at right angles with the socket A.
Fig. 2. But the socket A can be bevelled off at the small end and flanged and
brazed to the disc B or riveted to it as above. In this case the centre-pin E will
pass through the disc B and nut D and diagonally through the handle and the
socket A. The screw-pin E of a mop should pass through a washer G and down
through the mop and disc B and into the handle compressing the mop into the
disc B and compacting it to its work and insuring its twirling with the handle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. A disc of any size and shape fixed to a socket.
2. That the said disc can be fixed to the socket at any angle.
