` IMPROVEMENT IN WASHINGI-MACHINES.
The Schedule referred to :in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
` I, GOCLTLOB LIEB, of GoeymansHollow, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have 'inl ventedcertaiu Improvements in XVashing-lifacliines,
of which the following` is a specification.
The nature o'f my invention relates. to the combination of a iixed wash-board and a movable scrubber,
faced with India rubber, driven by means of' cranks, and held in contact `by a spring, whose pressure may be adj usted to suit the work to be done; the objects of my invention being to eiiect the cleansing of clothes,
in-amanuer similar tothe process of washing them by hand, on a common wash-board, with less expenditure `of time and labor.
`The accompanying drawing `is a side elevation of Inyinvcntiomaportion of one side of 4the tub being removed, to4 show more distinctly the parts ot'` the machine contained therein.
General Description.
A is the tub, supported by the legs B B. C is a wash-beard, with corrugated face, fixed per- "maneutly inan inclined position, as shown, nearthe middle of the tub. p
. D is theV movable.scrubber,`l|aving a corrugated India-rubber face, d; secured to it. .Upon its back the jaw-E is attached, for the purpose of receiving the end of the rod h`,\wth`which it forms a joint.
. The shaft G oscillates upon its bearings, to allow the rod F, which passes through it., tofollow the motions of. thescrubber D.
The spring H is placed over` the rod 14, betweenA `the shaft G and nut WI, and presses the scrubber D against 1 the clothes. on the `wash-board C.
4J is the upper framing ofthe machine, for supporting the pinion L, ...wheel K, and shaft L'.
MH'isone of the cranks (of-which there are two) x 'formed on the'shaft L', for 'driving the scrubber D.
N is one .of therodsfor connecting the scrubber D with .the cranks M O. is the driving-crank -for working'the machine.
l is a fly-wheel ontbe end of the shaft L.
The clothes are placed in the end ot' the machine.
wash-board C. Upon turning the driving-crank O, a rapid motion is imparted to the shaft L', (by means of the wheel K and pinion L,) which, through-its cranks M and the rods N, gives the scrubber D a reciprocating motion over the face ofthe wash-board C.A
The force of the downward stroke of the scrubber D being greater than that of its upward stroke, by reason ot' the inclination ot' the wash-board G, its tend.- ency isto feed the clothes down thev face vof the washboard. This should be resisted by the operator` holding onto the clothes until the washing is effected, when, by releasing the hold, a new portion will be presented to the action of the scrubber D.
The function ot' the spring H is tvo-hold the scrubber D against the clothes, with sutcient pressure to eftectually cleanse them. Means are provided by the nut I to regulate the pressure given bythe spring to the requirements ofthe character of the work to be done.
The India-rubber face d of the scrubber vD has sufieient elasticity to avoid any danger of injury to the clotl1es,the object of its corrugations being to produceithe eli'ect of rubbing by hand upon the washboard. 'l
In the smaller machines the wheel K and pinion L may be dispensed with, and the driving-crank O fixed upon the end of the shaft L'.
Claim.
I claim asl my ,invention- The arrangement and combination of the washboard O, rubber D, connecting-stud E, rod F, spring H, adjusting-nut I, and shaft G, and box A, with the nprights, connecting-rods, shafts, and gears, to give motion, as shown, and described.
