ABSTRACT:
A machine for making mops, such as dish mops and puff dusters. The machine is fed with a U-shape wire, between the legs of which extends a bundle of flexible mop strands. The machine twists the wire legs which lock the strands against the bight of the U-shape wire. The machine comprises a holding plate provided with a hole through which the legs of the U-shape wire are inserted, with the strands abutting one face of the holding plate. A power-actuated piston abuts the bight and presses the strands against the holding plate to prevent rotation of the bight relative to the plate. The machine further includes a pair of pincers located on the other side of the plate and clamping the free ends of the U-shape wire. The pincers are power-rotated for twisting the U-shape wire. Opening and closing of the pincers are effected automatically. The pincers can move towards the holding plate to allow for contraction of the U-shape wire as it is being twisted. Two guide plates are pivoted on the guiding plate to align and guide the legs of the U-shape wire for proper insertion into the pincers.
