WASHING MACHINE APPLIUATION IILLJ DEC. 5 1910` UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
v JAMES M. MERRITT, 0F LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF T0 B.. E. GOODRICH. OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.
WASHING-MACHINE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 19, 1911.
To all 'whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES M. Mnnm'rr, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Washing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to that class of mechanisms where the lmotor is placed beneath the tub of the washer instead of above it and on the cover as is most usually the case. certain 1m- My invention consists in provements and in certain combinations and details whereby a washing machine of the general nature described is made strong and durable, easy of operation and manipulation, and with the fewest number of working parts. The combinations of my invention include certainbearings which hold the vertical shaft, on the lower end of which the motor is mounted, in a true position; and the novelty in this regard consists particularly in a bearing for the upper end Vof this shaft, which bearing is mounted on the-cover of the tub so as to engage the upper end of the shaft when the cover is in position to close the tub. This novelty, in connection with the other details and combinations, will be explained in the following specification.
In the accompanying drawings I have shown a preferred form of my invention, in which drawings: Figure 1 1s a vertical cross section of a machine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken on line 2-2 of Fi 1. Fi 3 is an enlarged detail section s owing t e upper bearing construction for the shaft.
In the drawings 5 designates a tub of any suitable construction, having bottom 6, side walls 7 and hinged cover 8. The hinged cover is provided with a pin 9 on its inner face, on which pin the dolly 10 is hung when the machine is opened and the dolly removed. A stationary vertical sleeve 11 eX- tends upwardly from the bottom of the tub to a point adjacent the top, the sleeve extending through' the bottom of the tub and having a flange 12 gasketed with a rubber washer 13. A flange 14 is placed against the under side of bottom 6 and a nut 15 holds'sleeve 11 and flanges 12 and 14 tightly in place, compressing gasket 13. Flange 14 is provided with downwardly extending lugs or ears 16 to which water motor 17 is secured. Water motor 17 is of any preferred type, there being many on the market which will give an oscillatory movenient suitable for machines of this character. The water motor 17 is provided with inlet and outlet connections 18 and 19, these connections extending forwardly to a point near the outer edge of the tub where they are easily reached for connection to a hose or other means for supplying and exhausting water. Tater motor 17 operates directly on shaft 20 which extends upwardly through sleeve 11 and projects above the upper end of the sleeve as is shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The upper end of sleeve 11 is counterbored as at 21 and a lindownward movement of dolly 10. The
lower end of sleeve 25 bears u on step bearing 28 and the upper end o the sleeve is provided with a contracted collar 29 which closes in over the upper end of sleeve 11 and over ferrule 22 and fits more or less tightly around the upper end 20 of shaft 20. A set screw 30 serves to hold sleeve 25 locked upon shaft 2O and forces'the sleeve to rotate with the shaft. End 20l of shaft 20 does not quite reach to the top of collar 29.- In the collar above shaft 2O a plug 31 is placed in screw threaded engagement with the sleeve, the plug having a semi-spherical upper end 31l engaging.y in a similarly shaped socket 32 mounted upon cover 8, and proJecting therethrough. In this ball and socket joint, the shaft 20 and all the rotating mechanism is provided with a bearin upon the solid cover and it is also provid that 'there can be no possible leakage of water around shaft 20 and inside of collar 29, the plug 31 being in water tight enga ement with the collar. This ismade in t is manner, not so much to prevent water from accidentally splashing down around the shaft while the machine is in use, but more' the shaft and sleeve 11 and out of the machine at the bottom. Dolly 10 is loosely and slidably mounted on sleeve 25, having a hub member 40 with feather ways 41 which engage with wings 26 and force the dolly to be rotated. The dolly is made in the ordinary manner with downwardly and outwardly projecting pegs 42, but it is also provided with corrugations 43 on its edge for assisting in Working the garments.
Having described my invention, I claim: 1. A mechanism of the character described, comprising a receptacle, a hinged cover for the receptacle, a shaft projectmg up through the bottom of the. receptacle and terminating near the under side of the cover, a sleeve surrounding the shaft and. stationarily mounted on the bottom of the receptacle, the sleeve terminatin below the upper endl of the shaft, a bearing for the shaft in the upper end of the sleeve, an outer rotating sleeve surrounding the stationary sleeve and rotatively connected with the shaft at its upper end, the said rotating sleeve ptrojecting above the upper end of the sha a plug for the upper end of the sleeve, a bearing for the plug mounted on the cover, a mechanism for rotating the shaft and mounted under the receptacle body, and garment engaging means slidably mounted on the rotating sleeve.
2. A mechanism of the character described, comprising a receptacle, a removable cover for the receptacle, a shaft projecting up through the bottom of the rece tacle and terminating near the under si e of the cover, a sleeve surrounding the shaft and stationarily mounted on the bottom of the receptacle, the sleeve terminating below the upper end of the shaft, an outer rotating sleeve surrounding the stationary sleeve and rotatively connected with the shaft at its upper end, the said rotating sleeve projecting above the upper end of the shaft and having a orton covering the upper end of the sha t, a bearing for the upper end of the rotating sleeve mounted on the cover, a mechanism for rotating the shaft and mounted under the receptacle. body, and garment engaging means slldably mounted on the rotating sleeve.
,Am- In witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my name this 28th day of November 1910.
