Gov. Mary Fallin's support may make difference with smoke-free bill
Gov. Mary Fallin used a piece of her State of the State speech to say she supports letting cities and towns craft their own anti-smoking laws. "If a community wants to take action to improve the health of their citizens, let's let them do it," she said.
Fallin's backing may help get this effort across the finish line. State Health Commissioner Terry Cline has been trying for years to sway the Legislature, which has rebuffed him for one reason or another.
Two years ago, overly broad language doomed the bill's chances. That bill would have let municipalities pass laws not just regarding where people can smoke, but also concerning such things as the advertising, display and taxation of tobacco products. Retailers squawked about that, with good reason.
The language was removed and last year the bill made it out of the House but stalled in a Senate committee. Cline is concerned that this year's bill, Senate Bill 36 by Sen. Frank Simpson, R-Ardmore, has been assigned to the same committee where it died last year.
The Senate should give the bill every consideration. It doesn't let cities dictate where and how tobacco is marketed, sold or taxed. It's intended to give municipalities the discretion to make public places, such as restaurants and bars, smoke free if they choose.
The Oklahoma Restaurant Association opposes the bill, saying it would be unfair to businesses. But Cline points out that in other states that allow local control, businesses haven't been adversely affected. And changing the law could improve health outcomes in Oklahoma and reduce tobacco-related costs, which are monumental — Oklahoma businesses, for example, spend $1.7 billion annually for health-related illness and lost productivity.
Legislators often preach the importance of local control in schools and other areas, yet they've been OK with the state dictating cities' and towns' smoke-free policies. Fallin's right: This needs to change.


text: Flags versus abusive tags on Steam Gaming 17 February 14 by Philippa Warr Valve Valve has introduced a "report" function to stem abuses of its user-generated tags system for its Steam game catalogue.Posting on the Steam forums, Valve developer Al Farnsworth explained the new reporting option, which involves clicking a flag icon to report and downvote a tag.The four report reasons are:*Offensive/abusive tag *Not appropriate for this product *Not a helpful tag *SpoilerThe idea is to temper abuses of the system that appeared as soon as the beta launched and ranged from antisemitism in The Sims 3 tags to spoilers on the Bioshock Infinite page.The system will also require more users to apply a tag before it shows on the popular tags section (not really an effective measure if a game is feeling the full force of 4chan's glare). The feature is still in beta and will therefore be subject to further tweaks and reworkings as the team respond to complaints and feedback. Latest on wired.co.uk

"I turned this design into a thank you card for my daughter's 1st birthday. She happens to really enjoy cars. Super cute and colorful!"
"Great Card. Some were sent to me and the rest mailed direct to my invitees. Those that came to me were a week earlier than those to the invite list. I used this feature to save time and it took almost a week longer."
"I picked this card because I thought the graphics were best for a 5 year olds party. The text spacing was limited but the customer service department was excellent at warning me of issues and correcting my mistake. I was surprised that it was so small (I had envisioned a larger card) and I would have liked to put a little text on the back. But, it'll be a fine invite for this party!"
"I ordered this invitation for my grandson's 3rd birthday. He loves trains, and he was so excited when he saw the invitations. The overall quality of the invitation is great, and we have received so many compliments on the invitation! Also, the invitations were shipped super quick!"
"This card is even cuter in person than in the pictures. It is definitely one of my favorites, and I have been getting cards here 2-3 times a year for 5 years! :) Thanks to Tiny Prints for being so awesome!!"

I just moved from using wordpress.com to my own self-hosted site, and I'm trying to make some adjustments to my blog's theme. I am currently using Yoko and really like it, except for the Header. I want to make the header image smaller, and I would like to try changing the font of the blog title to see if there is something better.
I have been doing research and found that I need to child theme. I created a child theme directory, and so far was able to change the font size of the blog title using the style.css file. I don't know how to change the actual font though...
I tried creating a functions.php file but can't figure out what to put there to change the header size. Most of the tutorials I found use one of the twenty-something themes and the header info is really obvious in the functions.php file but I can't find similar info the Yoko functions.php file.
I only see one section in the header.php file that defines the header size:
// The header image. If single post w/thumbnail that's big enough, show it
if ( is_singular() && current_theme_supports( 'post-thumbnails' ) && has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) && ( $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'post-thumbnail' ) ) && $image[1] >= HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH ) :
echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID , array( 1102, 350 ), array( 'class' => 'headerimage' ) );
elseif ( get_header_image() ) : ?>
<img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" class="headerimage" width="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH; ?>" height="<?php echo get_custom_header()->height; ?>>" alt="" />
[Please post code & markup between backticks or use the code button. Your posted code may now have been permanently damaged by the forum's parser.]
So I tried creating a header.php file with this info and changed 350 to 300, but when I uploaded it, the contents of my header.php in the child theme directory showed up as a mess of html on the top of my blog.
Sorry this is so long, but I'm hoping the details makes it easier for me to get help. I'm pretty new this and haven't used php before.

In 2014 presented the first Jaguar SUV. Does the strategy for the new model? Fill the gap between the Audi Q5 and Q7 or Range Rover Evoque and the Sport.
The British firm surprises with a burly looking creature wheel drive: the Jaguar SUV. If you thought there were no more holes in the SUV segment, or thought their chances of ending growth in so-called mini SUV, you were wrong.
Logic suggests that measures of Jaguar SUV try tracing the three of the SUVs 'premium' most successful: the BMW X5, Mercedes ML, or even the Volkswagen Touareg (comparative BMW X5, Mercedes ML and Volkswagen Touareg). But the thinking minds of the British brand will choose to 'sneak' this new SUV in the gap, at least from his point of view-among compact SUVs and big guys I mentioned in the previous lines, ie around 4.7 meters in length. Within the luxury models on the market, the only one also chooses this strategy is the Range Rover Sport, with 4.78 meters. What a coincidence that Jaguar and Land Rover have a relationship so smooth! Right?
Of course, the platform of the SUV Jaguar alone will not be developed because of the high costs that would entail. We must find synergies. To make the project feasible you must read the following acronym: PLA or lightweight 'premium'. This term refers to a new array that share several modular lightweight Jaguar models, much like what he did in his day with his Audi MLP or modular longitudinal platform, which extended from tourism as the Audi A4, to the powerful Audi Q7.
As for the design of new Jaguar SUV, the charge would be, of course, Ian Callum, which counts among its creations with the XK, XF and XJ. Its main stylistic features will be a generously sized hood and rear drop coupe style to give dynamism to the whole, adding, of course, a touch of elegance typical of the brand's models. In this regard, XK lines are present in both the front and rear.
Its interior can hold up to five occupants, but probably there is an option of two individual seats in the rear seats to satisfy the most demanding customers. Jaguar also consider the possibility of offering a longer version of this model can accommodate a third row of seats.
For the mechanical new model will inherit some of the existing mechanical group, as the 2.0 turbo petrol with 240 bhp that equipped the Evoque and the three-liter turbodiesel with outputs of 211 and 256 hp, which equips the Range Rover Sport. Both engines will be associated to an eight-speed automatic ZF signed.
In principle, the Jaguar SUV ride a four-wheel drive system similar to that used by the Range Rover Sport, across center differential, but there is also the opportunity to communicate with electronically controlled multi-plate clutch riding the Evoque and Freelander. All will depend on the final weight of the assembly. What is clear is that this model is clearly focused on the road, so you can forget because of differential locks and reductive. Air suspension?? Since it is aimed at use offroad will opt for self-leveling rear suspension.
In 2014 will kick off this new venture of Jaguar. Then we will see if he can gain a foothold.

'We Must Help Creative Industries Get Voice on World Stage'
Byline: EMMA WATKINS THE LONG VIEW
THE creative industries are often overlooked when the economy is discussed but the sector is a central part of the UK's global appeal and underpins a thriving creative economy. Wales can boast BBC shows such as Doctor Who and Sherlock and a strong contribution to the music industry, from the Stereophonics to Tom Jones.
Companies ranging from Tinopolis and Boomerang to JoJo Maman Bebe and Howies have found the sector to be fertile ground for growth.
Indeed, the sector was one of the fastest growing in Wales between 2009-2011 with employment growing by 16%. It is clear that Wales, as part of a UK-drive, has the potential to cement our position as the world's leading creative hub provided we take steps now to build on existing progress and ensure that all the underlying industries involved have the foundations in place for longterm success.
British culture and creativity is at the forefront of the UK's global appeal, driving our culture and creativity is at the forefront of the UK's place as a leading destination for foreign direct investment.
These creative industries make a vital contribution to the economy with strengths in key areas including music, broadcasting, video games and fashion. Together, they account for 10.6% of the UK's exports and 1.5m jobs.
The UK boasts the largest broadcasting hub in Europe, the leading online advertising market in Europe, one of the world's largest music industries in terms of exports and the fastest growing digital economy in the G20.
In the CBI's report Playing Our Strongest Hand, we called on governments in Wales and Westminster to spearhead a new approach to industrial strategy to support sectors of the economy where the UK has particular strengths and high-growth potential.
We identified the creative industries as a key sector to get behind. Since then, the UK government has been busy working in partnership with business to develop a number of sector strategies for some of our high-potential sectors, as well as taking action to create the conditions that support all businesses to invest and grow.
In Wales the Welsh Government offers a wide range of support to the creative sector, from the Alpha Fund which helps grassroots talent to the Digital Development Fund and Media Antenna Wales that both help businesses plug-in to the global e-business market. Now, at both ends of the M4, we need to take steps to secure the future global competitiveness of the UK's creative industries through closer government and business collaboration.
The fact is that, unlike some sectors of the economy, the UK's creative industries are found in every region and nation of the UK and are thriving in a number of 'creative hubs', such as the BBC and the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, the Titanic Quarter in Belfast and Media-CityUK in Salford.
In these regional clusters, larger organisations and multinationals form networks with a wide range of smaller creative firms across a range of sectors, in order to attract talent and generate new ideas. Beyond these direct benefits generated by particular sectors, broader creative services also add value across the economy. …

Conor Friedersdorf: Obama still not ready to level with us on NSA
President Obama is vacationing in Martha's Vineyard. But just before he left Washington, D.C., last week, he finally addressed the controversy over NSA surveillance. A charismatic speaker with a talent for seeming honest and reasonable, his remarks and answers to questions from reporters may have reassured some Americans that their rights are not being violated by the government.
I hope none of you was fooled.
The truth is that Obama's remarks were misleading in all sorts of ways. He exploited the fact that surveillance policy is complicated to lead his audience astray.
I'll give you an example.
"I will work with Congress to pursue appropriate reforms to Section 215 of the Patriot Act, the program that collects telephone records," Obama stated in his prepared remarks. "As I've said, this program is an important tool in our effort to disrupt terrorist plots, and it does not allow the government to listen to any phone calls without a warrant. But given the scale of this program, I understand the concerns of those who would worry that it could be subject to abuse."
Technically, this is true. Section 215 of the Patriot Act does not allow government to listen to phone calls without a warrant. But another provision of surveillance law, Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act, has been invoked to listen to the telephone conversations of Americans who aren't even suspected of terrorism. See what Obama did? He created the impression that the government never listens to phone calls without a warrant, even though that isn't true.
There were too many misleading passages in the speech to flag them all in one column. Suffice it to say that Obama still isn't ready to level with us about the NSA. Yes, I know it's legitimate for the state to keep some secrets. I don't expect elected officials to publish the nuclear codes or the names of covert CIA agents.
But I hoped that Obama's speech would at least give an honest accounting of surveillance policy. To understand why that's important, maybe we need to step back.
Self-government is the core of the American experiment. Presidents of the United States may live in a fancy house, preside over a vast bureaucracy and command the world's most formidable army. But they do so on behalf of the people. It is ultimately the citizenry that decides whether a policy is one America ought to implement or is an affront to liberty. This is so even when the subject is counterterrorism.
Left ignorant of what the law is, how can we possibly decide what it ought to be?
Obama is oblivious to all that. He conducts himself as if the consent of the governed is desirable – a goal to pursue when possible – but not strictly necessary. He successfully hid the nature of the surveillance state for years. And now that we know more of the truth? He just keeps insisting that we shouldn't worry.
How strong is his aversion to reform?
In last week's speech, he made a few meager pledges to his critics. For example, he promised that there would be an "independent" review of surveillance technology, conducted by "outside experts," who would ensure there are "no abuses."
But Monday, when he issued a directive to undertake that review, he put Director of National Intelligence James Clapper in charge. He isn't merely an insider (and not at all independent). He's also the guy who lied to Congress, while under oath, about the NSA. You've heard of the bait and switch? Our president is the master of the Barack and switch. He makes promises to reassure Americans about their liberty. Soon afterward, he breaks them. Why would anyone ever trust him again?

Children with chronic illnesses often undergo and endure many medical procedures and treatments, which can leave them feeling overwhelmed. Art therapy provides these children with a means of communicating through artistic expression.
Art therapy is based on the belief that the creative process involved in making art is healing and life-enhancing. Creating art and talking about art with an art therapist can enhance a child's cognitive abilities, increase self awareness, help find ways to cope with symptoms of a medical/physical disorders, and gain relief from related emotional distress.
Art therapy is also intended to:
- Improve treatment outcomes
- Enhance patient quality of life and instill a sense of well-being
- Provide enjoyment and alleviation of anxiety surrounding treatments, symptoms,
- and social restrictions
- Engage in therapeutic exploration of potential fears and questions
- Provide the opportunity for children to identify feelings about illness, recovery, and circumstances in a supportive environment
- Increase resiliency
- Teach coping strategies necessary for dealing with the emotional effects of living with a chronic illness
Children who are enrolled in art therapy can expect to have fun and enjoy the opportunity to create beauty using various creative art supplies, such as paint, pencils, markers, paper, collage, and clay.
In addition, it is believed that art therapy sessions will help to promote communication and self expression, provide an opportunity for connection with others who are going through similar processes, enhance self esteem through mastery of materials and improved motor skills and provide joy in creating and experimenting with materials in a safe environment.
Art therapy is referred for intervention for a variety of reasons, including:
- Stress reduction
- Decrease somatic symptoms
- Risk for ineffective coping and/or adjustment to medical status
- Improve mobility, dexterity, decrease muscle atrophy
- Normalize medical/hospital experience
- Improve social/emotional adjustment
- Risk for ineffective communication patterns (patient and/or family)
- Risk for ineffective adjustment to social/emotional/physical environment
- Improve parent-child dynamic, communication and bonding
- Assess for further psychological/psychosocial intervention
- Enhance self-esteem
- Need for sibling psychosocial intervention
To find out more or enroll your child in the Art Therapy Program at our Children's Hospital, contact Jennifer Crocitto, MA, ATR, BS-RN, by phone at 518-262-1970 (press 1 to leave a message).

DURHAM, N.C. -- A 911 dispatcher in North Carolina has been fired after she caused a four-minute delay for firefighters responding to a blaze that killed a 74-year-old man in Durham home.
Reports said a neighbor across the street from Marvin Jacobs' home called 911 on Aug. 17 from an Internet-based phone that failed to give her address.
Emergency officials say Theresa Hopkins didn't understand the caller and sent firefighters to a similar-sounding street on the other side of the city.
Durham 911 Director Jim Soukup says Hopkins should have asked for more information like cross streets or which side of the city the woman lived on.
Hopkins had been a 911 dispatcher for three years.

The ANA and 4A's Joint Policy Committee on Talent Union Relations (JPC) continued its extensive in-depth analysis of the results of the proposals generated from the joint industry/union study on alternative methods of compensation to performers in commercials. With the input of agencies, advertisers, media companies, talent payroll companies and outside consultants, extensive data has been and will continue to be collected and analyzed to assess the economic impact of any proposals, their applicability to improved measures of ROI for advertisers as well as the impact of issues relating to possible implementation.
In addition, the JPC conducted many industry seminars and Webinars to assist those segments of the industry that may be impacted by any proposed changes to understand the full impost of these proposals. Concurrently, the JPC conducted an in-depth survey and analysis of the current provisions of the SAG and AFTRA commercials agreements in preparation for the collective bargaining negotiations with the unions which are currently taking place.

These eyeliners by stila are so incredible, once you try them you'll never go back! The range of colors is awesome, I own the shades Stingray, Damsel, Spice, and Lionfish (as I prefer neutral eyes). Because these are waterproof, they are perfect for tight lining and water lining. True to the name, these will smudge within the first few seconds to create a sultry, blurred eyeliner effect if that is your preference. Plus, these last 8 months to a year with daily use. At $20, these eyeliners are so worth it!
CAUTION: The eyeliner does NOT retract so don't ever twist the whole stick up. This has been a problem for some, so I thought I would mention it.
Love this eyeliner and love the variety of colors. Every once in a while, I get one that doesn't seem to go on so smooth- not sure if it has to do with the different pigments that might be in different colored liners. LOVE the moray for the perfect amount of shimmer and a super flattering color.4

"Project Child Safe" made a stop in Tallahassee, all to promote firearm safety. The non-profit organization travels the country handing out free gun locks.
Members of the organization say the gun locks will fit almost any firearm. Over the past four years they've handed out 11 million gun locks.
Linda Corrow with Project Child Safe said, "A child and a gun don't mix, so if you're going to own a firearm, be a responsible owner, lock the gun up."
Thomas Pullen, a responsible gun owner, said, "I have children, my little brother comes through the house and just in case anyone gets a hold of the gun I wouldn't like to get a hold of it, they can't fire it or anything."
The Leon County Sheriff's Office will be out again with "Project Child Safe," handing out free gun locks Monday at the Wal-Mart on Apalachee Parkway.

Hi, my girlfriend was recently rear ended and when she took her car into a body shop they told her she needed a whole new bumper. She never had the work done and 6 months passed. I was in a scrap yard the other day trying to get a new interior door panel and i asked about the rear bumper, a few of the guys looked at it and claimed that it would not need replacing and that the body shop only wanted to replace it as the insurance was supposed to cover it. Anyways the guys told me that I should be able to take it slightly off and push it back on properly and then can take care of the scratches easily myself. So I went out today to try and look into taking off the bumper but I could not figure it out (and was also scared to experiment). My question is: How the hell do you get that bumper off and back on again? Thanks Ollie

"Bridge over the River Guadalevin" Top 5 Page for this destination Ronda by barryg23
Ronda Travel Guide: 517 reviews and 1,413 photos
Ronda lies in a spectacular location on a high ridge above the River Guadalevin in the heart of Andalucia. The new and old parts of the town are split by a deep gorge, over 130 metres high. Across this gorge, Ronda is connected by the Puenta Nueva, a beautiful bridge.
South of the bridge is the old Moorish town, whose narrow, winding streets contain most of the interesting architecture, buildings and museums of Ronda. On the North side of the bridge is the Mercadillo district, the newer part of town, which developed after the Christian reconquest of Andalusia. It later increased in size in the 18th century after the first bridge across the highest point of the gorge was built. Though there are fewer sights in this area, it does contain most of the hotels and restaurants as well as the train and bus stations.

Pretty town. Nice arches, white houses, some churros and flamenco. Cool. SL
Wonderful page Barry! I see you enjoyed your visit and I agree with you, it's a very beautiful city. Perfect job!
It was closed when I visited Ronda. I think it's a private residence!
Great page and amazing pictures. Unfortunately, I skipped Ronda when I visited Andalucia. Another reason to go back!!!
Thanks for your comment on my Ronda page. So sorry to hear you were only in Andalucia for two days! You have a nice page going here yourself. Nice job! ~ Andy
You are building a very nice page. Wishing back to Ronda again, is one of the most beautiful cities in the province of Málaga. Thanks for your comment. Lina

1. Field of the Invention
The field of this invention relates to appliances that facilitate cleaning of floors and more particularly to a mop head wringer designed to be used in conjunction with a mop to effect wringing of the mop head to remove excess moisture.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A mop generally comprises an elongated handle to which is attached a mop head. The mop head is formed of a plurality of strands of material. In the past, typically the strands of material have comprised a fabric which is formed into the shape of a plurality of lengths of twisted rope. Within recent years, mop heads are being constructed of utilizing strands of a artificially constructed sponge-like or chamois type of material. The normal procedure in using a mop is to place the mop within a bucket of water and rinse the mop out and then physically, by hand, wring the mop of excess moisture. The mop head is then used on the floor to clean an area of the floor. After the mop has been moved across the area, the mop head is placed back into the water, rinsed again, and removed from the water and manually wrung again to remove excess moisture and then reused on the floor. After two or three times of application on the floor, the water within the bucket, in which the mop is being rinsed, constitutes dirty water. Therefore, when the mop is then placed back on the floor, it is actually attempting to clean the floor with dirty water. Not only does this not achieve a clean floor, but it is also a practice that achieves an unsanitary floor.
One way to avoid the using of a dirty mop is to clean the floor by using a separate bucket which includes clean water. After the mop is wrung out after being rinsed with the dirty water, the mop can then be rinsed with the clean water, wrung out again and then used to clean the floor. This constant wringing procedure, when accomplished manually, is not only time consuming but certain individuals, like people with arthritis or little hand strength, have a tough time exerting enough manual wringing force in order to remove the excess moisture from the mop head.
In the past, there have been constructed mop buckets with wringing attachments. However, these wringing attachments have been relatively complex, therefore costly to manufacture and thereby costly when purchased by the consumer. Also, most wringers are permanently attached to a bucket with it not being possible to separate the wringer from the bucket. Therefore, only that particular bucket could be used with the wringer not being transferable to other buckets.
The primary objective of the present invention is to construct a mop head wringer which is used to remove excess moisture from a mop head eliminating the actual physical contact of the mop head by the user in order to produce a wringing of the mop head.
Another objective of the present invention is to construct a mop head wringer which is constructed of few parts and therefore can be manufactured relatively inexpensively and thereby sold to the ultimate consumer at a relatively inexpensive price.
The mop head wringer of the present invention is to be usable in conjunction with a bucket by being placed on top of the bucket with a portion of the mop head wringer being located within the internal chamber of the bucket. The mop head wringer includes a cover with this cover actually being supported on the upper lip of the bucket. A screen basket is mounted within this cover with an access opening being formed in the cover to provide access to the screen basket. The screen basket is mounted on a shaft with this shaft including a spiral groove. The shaft is mounted within a through opening of a spider shape supporting frame. A pin is attached to the supporting frame and connects with the spiral groove. The screen basket is movable by the weight of the mop head from an at-rest position to a wringing position. The screen basket is biased by a coil spring continuously toward the at-rest position. Upon insertion of a mop head in conjunction with screen basket, the screen basket will move with a twisting motion to a lower position, which constitutes the wringing position, and at the same time that it is moved, it will rotate approximately one and one-half revolutions. This will produce a wringing action of the mop head. The rotation is caused by the pin riding within the spiral groove formed within the shaft. The screen basket includes protruding fins which ride against a ring member which is mounted on the cover. The supporting fins in connection with the ring member provide a guide to keep the screen basket properly positioned in a vertical orientation during movement from the at-rest position to the wringing position.
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a bucket assembly showing the connection with the mop head wringer of the present invention and also depicting the connection of the mop head in conjunction with the mop head wringer;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view through the mop head wringer and bucket arrangement shown in FIG. 1 taken along line 2--2 of FIG. 1 showing the screen basket of the mop head wringer located in the at-rest position just being initially engaged by a mop head;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view similar to FIG. 2 but showing the screen basket in the wringing position; and
FIG. 4 is a transverse cross-sectional view through the mop head wringer of the present invention taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 2.
Referring particularly to the drawings, there is shown the mop bucket assembly 10 of this invention which is composed of a main bucket 12, washing bucket 14 and rinsing bucket 16 mounted on a base 18. Base 18 is adapted to rest on a supportive surface. Base 18 could include caster wheels (not shown) if desired. The buckets 14 and 16 are shown to be of a smaller volume than the volume of the main bucket 12. However, in actual practice the volume of washing bucket 14 and rinsing bucket 16 could be equal to or greater than main bucket 12. The main bucket 12 has an internal chamber 20. Washing bucket 14 has an internal chamber 22 with rinsing bucket 16 having an internal chamber 24. Normally the buckets 12, 14 and 16, as well as base 18, will be constructed of a plastic sheet material. A quantity of water 26 is to be contained within the main bucket 12. In a similar manner water 28 is to be contained within bucket 14 with water 30 to be contained within bucket 16.
Placed on the lip of main bucket 12 and covering about one-half of the opening into the main bucket 12 is a cover 32. Cover 32 includes an access opening 34. Cover 32 encloses an internal chamber 36. Located within the internal chamber 36 is a screen basket 38. Screen basket 38 will normally be constructed of plastic and is in the shape of an upside-down truncated cone. The bottom end 40 of the screen basket 38 is fixedly mounted onto a shaft 42. The shaft 42 includes a spiral groove 44. Surrounding the shaft 42 is a coil spring 46. One end of the coil spring 46 abuts against the bottom end 40 of the screen basket 38 with the opposite end of the coil spring 46 resting within annular recess 48 of a cup 50. Cup 50 includes a through hole 51. Mounted within the cup 50 is a pin 52 which connects with the through hole 51. The pin 52 rides within the groove 44 of the shaft 42.
The cup 50 is mounted within a supporting frame defined as a spider member 54. Spider member 54 includes four in number of legs which are fixedly mounted by fasteners 56 to portions of the cover 32. Also fixedly mounted to the cover 32 is a ring 58. The ring 58 is located about and functions to guide the screen basket 38.
A handle 62 is grasped to which is attached a mop head 60. The mop head 60 can comprise any conventional strands of material which can be strands of a sponge-like absorbent material or can be fabric. The mop head 60 is to be first immersed within the water 26. The mop head 60 is rinsed within the water 26 and then extracted with the mop head 60 placed within the screen basket 38. The inserting of the mop head 60 into the screen basket 38 is depicted by arrow 68. The weight of the mop head 60 and the handle 62 will be sufficient to cause the screen basket 38 to be moved from the upper position shown in FIG. 2 to the lower position shown in FIG. 3. The screen basket 38 is prevented from tilting by the ring 58 as it moves from the at-rest position to the lower position by fins (four in number) 59, which are integral with screen basket 38 riding along the inside surface of ring 58. As the screen basket 38 moves to the wringing position, it is automatically turned about one and one-half revolutions by the pin 52 riding within the spiral groove 44. Therefore when the mop head 60 is inserted within the screen basket 38, the screen basket 38 will then automatically move to the lower (wringing) position and will rotate the one and one-half revolutions. Downward rotational movement of the screen basket 38 is depicted generally by arrows 64 and 66. This turning or twisting of the screen basket 38 will cause excess water contained within the mop head 60 to be wrung from the mop head 60 and deposited into the internal chamber 20 of the main bucket 12. When the mop head 60 is now removed from the screen basket 38, the screen basket 38 will again rise to the position shown in FIG. 2 in contact with cover 32 which functions as a stop due to the pressure applied by the coil spring 46. The coil spring 46 has just a sufficient amount of force to counterbalance the weight of the screen basket 38.
The normal operation of the mop bucket assembly 10 of this invention is as follows: Let it be assumed that water 28 includes a small amount of detergent. The user will start by inserting the mop head 60 within the water 26 rinsing the mop head 60. The user will then insert the mop head 60 in the screen basket 38 causing such to move to the lower position and wringing of the mop head 60 to remove excess water. The user then removes the mop head 60 from the screen basket 38 and is to insert it within water 28 of the bucket 14. The user then reinserts mop head 60 again with the screen basket 38 to remove excess water. Because the mop head 60 is then inserted within relatively clean water 28, clean water 28 will now be applied to the floor (not shown) as the mop head 60 is used to clean the floor.
After usage of the mop head 60 on a given area of the floor, the user will then insert the mop head 60 within the water 26 and rinse the mop head 60. The mop head 60 is then reinserted in conjunction with the screen basket 38 to effect wringing of the excess water from the mop head 60. The mop head 60 can then be inserted in conjunction with the water 30 which will normally comprise a clean rinse water. The mop head 60 is rinsed in the water 30 and then reinserted in the screen basket 38 automatically causing wringing action to remove excess water. Now the quite clean mop head 60 is then used to go over the area which was cleaned previously on the floor thereby rinsing that area. The procedure is then repeated for other areas of the floor.
