ELECTRIC WASHING-MACHINE.
Loeoea Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mal'. l5), 1912.
To all'wlzom it may concern Be it known that l, W'ILLIAM l). Jones, a citizen of the United StateS, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of' New York, have invented a new1 and Improved Electric Waching-Machine, oi which the tollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.-
The invention relates to washing machines in which an electric circuit is passed through the Washing liquid.
The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved electric washing machine arranged to facilitate the washing,` of the l? clothes and to insure the setting or fixing ot' the colors of the cloth materials by passing the electric current in different planes through the Waehing liquid, and hyvsimultaneously starting the rotation ot the revoluhle cylinder containing the clothes and paesino; the electric current through the washing liquid.
lior the purpose nientioned use is made of oppositely-disposed 4sets ot' electrodes arr ranged within a tank or a vat containingr a waehingl liquid, and a revoluhle perforated cylinder i'or the clothes to he waShed and means tor electrieallyconnecting the electrodes in the sets in any predetermined manner to cauce the electric current to pass through the 'washing liquid in ditl'erent planes.
A practical embodiment of the invention is represented inthe accompanying drawings forming a party oit' this specification, in which similar characters ot reference indicate corresponding parte in all the views.
.Figure 1 is a longitudinal central section ci the electric washing machine; Fig. 2 is an enlarged face view olf one of the sectional electrodes; Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view ot' 'the saine on the line of Fig. 2; Fig. 1t is a transverse Section o the same on the line tw-Ll ot' Fig. 2; and 1*`ig.,5 in a diagrannnatic view of the electric connection between the electrodes and the coinmutati'ir.
A tank' or vat A of suitable size is adapted to contain water or other washing liquid B, and the said tank is provided with a cover C, and within the tank is arranged a receptacle'for containing the clothes, preferably in the torni of a :revoluhle perforated cylinder l) having its shaft E journaled in suitable bearings ar anged on the ends ofthe tank A.' The shaft E is driven 'from a reversingr device l by suitahle t'earinr` ti and the said reversing' device l" is provided with a fast pulley l"' flanked h v loose pulleys l*"', 1" and a heit ll connects the said pulleys with fast and loose pulleys ll'. ll"E ot a driven countersha't`t. and the said lielt Il is engaged by a helbs'hilting` lever l tor stoppingr and starting the washingmachine on shitting the helt from the itast pulley to tht` loose pulley.
vWithin the tank A and prelerahl'v at the ends thereof are arranged two sets ol oppoSitely-disposed electrodes J, J', J", J and J, J5, J, J7, of which the set ot" electrodesl J. J', J2 and J are mounted on an insulating plate li, and the electrodes J", 5, J, J7 are mounted on an insulating; plate K' and the said insulating; plates 1( .and l are fastened to the inner surfaeer; oi the ends.l et the tank A. Each of the electrodes and the plates K, K' are preferably oi the construction shown and described in the applicationV tor Letters latent` of the United States, Serial No. (565,02), tiled under even date herewith, so that further description ot the sets olf electrodes and insulating plates is not deemed necessary The electrodes J, J', Ji", J", .l J", J, and J7 are provided with contact pins L, li', if, L, L4, lf', L and lf held in insulated hushings K2, l arranged in the ends ot the tank A, and the outer ends ol the said contact pins li, L', lf', L, L, L", L and lf are connected with a eonnnutator which rov lates in unison with the .rcvoluble 1'eeep tacle or cylinder l).
. The connnutator is arranged as follows: The pins L, L', lf. lf. li", if. if. lf are connected h v wires' t). (Y. (l2, (7)", (,l, O, O, (Y with brushes l. l", l, l". l` lf', l and l)T in peripheral engagement with conunutator collecting' rings (l, Q'. Q?, tbl, ('l, (l5, Q and (2T insulated on a shalt l provided with a pinion ll' in mesh with the gearing (i so that when the cylinder l) is rotated a rotary motion is transmitted to the shalt lt and the rings (.2. Q', Q2, Q, Q1, Q, Q and Q7 carried therelrv. The rings Q, M', (J2, Q, Q4, Q5, Q" and Q7 are electrically con nected hy wires S, S'. S, S, Sl, S and S7 with the sections 'l`. 'l T, T, T'", T5, T and 'IT oi the rim ol' the commutator wheel y TS secured on the shalt ll and rotatingr with the same, the sections 'l`, T', ',.`2, T, '.l, T5, '1" and T7 being insulated one. from the other. Brushes U and U arranged dialnetrically opposite each other are in contact with the sections T, T, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 and T7, and the brushes are connected with wires U2, U3, of which the wire U2 contains a source of electrical energy V and the Wire U3 is connected withnthe fixed contact member W of a switch having' a movable member W" connected by an insulated link `W2 with the shifting lever I, so that when the machine is started then the movable member W of the switch is thrown in Contact with the contact `W. t0 close the electrical circuit simultaneously with the rotating of the cylinder D. In a like manner when the lever I'is moved in the reverse direction to stop the machine then the contact member lV is moved out of contact with the fixed contact W to break the electric circuit for the commutator.
When the machine is running and the shaft R is rotating then the electrodes J and J4 are first rendered active so that an electric current passes Afrom the electrode J to the electrode J 4 by way ofthe liquid B contained in the tank A and in a plane passing through the electrode J, J 4, and 4then the current is cut off from the said electrodes J, J t and the electrodes J J5 areconnected with each other so that the current now passes through the washing liquid in a plane passing through the said electrodes J J5. The electrodes J', J'i are next cut out and the electrodes J 2, J '3 are connected with each other, that is, are rendered active so that the electric current passes through the washing liquid in a plane passing through the electrodes J2, J, and the electrodes J2, J are next cut out and rendered inactive while the next following electrodes J s, J7 are rendered active so that the electric current ipasses through the washing liquid in a plane passing through the electrodes J3, J7. The electrodes J 3, J 7 are next rendered dormant and the electrodes J, J 4 are again rendered active and the above-described operation is repeated, that is, the electric currents are successively passed through the washing liquid in different planes whereby the Washing of the clothes is facilitated and a setting or fixing of the colors contained in the clothes to be washed takes place.
l t is understood that the electrical impulses given to the washing liquid in VdiEerent planes and in any desired order aids the setting of the colors in the clothes and helps the washing thereof, and as'thecylinder D is not rotated until the currents are turned on. it is evident that. the colors are not liable to run as would he the case if the cylinder l) were started and ran for awhile, prior to turning on the electric current.
lt is understood that the electrodes in the two sets are electrically connected with each other in rotation by the commutator, but the order in which the pairs of electrodes are connected with each other may be varied.
As shown, the electrodes directly opposite each other are rendered active at a time, but electrodes arranged diagonally opposite each other may be rendered active, that is, connected with each other by changing, for instance, the wiring O, O, O2, O3, relative to the electrodes J, J', J2 and J3; or the wiring O, O5, O and OT relative t0 the electrodes J4, J5, J(j and J7. Thus the electrodes J and J7 may, for instance, be connected with each oth'er, and likewise the electrode J may be connected with the electrode J 6, the electrode J2 with the electrode J 5 and the electrode J3 with the electrode J4, so that the electric currents pass in rotation and indiagonal planes through the-washing liquid.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
1. An 'electric washing machine, comprising a tank adapted to contain a liquid,` a perforated revoluble receptacle in the saidl tank, oppositely-disposed sets of electrodes within the tank, and means for connecting the electrodes in the sets with cach other in rotation to cause electrical currents to pass through the liquid in different planes.
2. An electric washing machine, comprising a tank adapted to contain a liquid, a perforated revoluble receptacle in the said.. tank, oppositely-disposed sets of electrodes within the tank, and a commutator rotating in unison with the said receptacle and electrically connected with the said electrodes 3. An electric washing machine, comprising a tank adapted to contain a liquid, a perforated revoluble receptacle in the said tank, oppositely-disposed sets of electrodes within the tank, `a commutator rotating in unison with the said receptacle and electrically connected with the said electrodes, a switch for the commutator, and manuallycontrolled means for controlling the said switch and for stopping and starting the said reroluble receptacle.
4. ln combination with a tank adapted to contain a liquid, opposite sets of electrodes in thc/said tank` and a. commutator connecting the electrodes .in the sets with each other in rotation to cause electric currents to pass through the liquid in different planes.
