aient* (twine- Leners Patent' No. 108,646, daad 'october 25, 1870.
IMPROVEMENT IN WASHING-MACHINES.
' The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same To' all whom it may concern Be it known that I, STEHnx M. SMITH, of 'Canalpanying drawing and the letters of reference markedthereon.
` y invention consists in new construction, ar-
rangement, and combination of devices for a box washing-machine.
In the accompanying drawing- Figure l is a perspective view of my machine with -the lid open, showing apart of the rubbers.
Figure 2 is a sectional view of' the same, one. side being removed. y
Ipref'cr to employ an oblong-box, A, at one end of which is attached a shaft,v B, which carries a cogwheel, D, gearing into a pinion, E, upon another shaft, (l, provided witha balance-wheel, I0.
Y. This shaft- C has a crank, C', iig. 2, to whielris attached a pitman, G, at the opposite end of which is a roller, G', which is pivoted to the arms of the upper rubber, H. v
Two levers, K, are pivoted, below their centers, to thevsides of the box, at L, and at ltheir ends to the arms of both` rubbers, as seen in iig. 2.
'lhe lower rubber, 1 rides upon the bottom ofthe box, while the upper rubber floats free above the clothes, or may come down on the bottom of' the box when small articles of clothing are being washed. This upper rubber may rise high enough to receive large articles, like bed-clothing, and yet it may work low enough to come very near the lower rubber in washing -small articles.
In a working machine, the levers K may b c made of wood, and, as the shafts and wheels are outside of the box, the clothing is not liable. to come in contact with any metal to stain it with rust.
Usually I make the lower arms 0f the levers K onehalf as long as the 'upper arms, in order to give the upperl rubber the greater motion.
Motion is given to the machine by the crank O.
The clothes being placed between the rubbers, the lower rubber, in working, thrusts the under part of the clothes away, while the simultaneous stroke of the upper rubber brings the upper portion of the clothes in the opposite direction, and knocks the top down. Thus the clothes, in being washed, are continually rolled over and over, and also squeezed by the. repeated strokes ofthe rubbers.
. Having thus described my invention,
I claiml The above-described arrangement and combination of the rubbers H and I, the levers K, pit-man G, and shaft C, as set fort-h and shown.. l'
