1,234,375. Mop &c. holder; pliers. F. B. VAZQUEZ. 16 June, 1969 [15 Aug., 1968], No. 30420/69. Headings B4K and B4W. [Also in Division E2] A releasable holding device, e.g. a mop &c. holder (Fig. 1) or pliers (Fig. 4), comprises a pair of jaws, one of which is supported relative to the other on a resilient member, and an arm for urging the one jaw towards the other by engagement of one end of the arm with, and movement of said end along, a rear face of the one jaw. A holder for mops, squeegees, sponges or brushes includes a pair of arms 10, 26 interconnected by a resilient web 24, the arm 10 having a handle-receiving recess 12 and an integral jaw 16. A second jaw 18 is supported in opposed relation to the jaw 16 on a resilient web 20, and has a rear extension 21. A tip 28 of arm 26 co-operates with a surface of extension 21, during use of the holder, to urge the jaw 18 towards the jaw 16. Stops 32, 34 limit the closure movement of the arms 10, 26. The jaws may be retained in their closed position (Fig. 3, not shown) by frictional engagement between the tip 28 and extension 21, or by co-operation of the tip 28 with one or more notches 30 formed in the extension 21. In the form of clamping pliers, the movable arm may have a rear extension 56 acting as a closure-limiting stop and a spring- opening means. The jaws may be retained in their closed position (Fig. 6, not shown) by continued hand pressure on arms 40, 42 or by frictional engagement between tip 54 of arm 42 and jaw extension 50. The device may be a one-piece moulding of polypropylene or high impact styrene. |
