iMPRovEMENT 1N WASHING-MAcHiNEs.

Speeiliention lniiiing"p:irt of Letters lnteni: No. 109,259, dnied November 15, 1870.

Tro-l whom it may confer f Be it known tlnit we, HMriLfroN E. Snrru and GARRET F. Sernin, o.' the city ot' New York, in the county sind Stilte of' New York, here invented n, new and Improved Hishing Machine 5 and I do hereby decia-re that the following` is o full, clero', nnd exnet description thereof', which will enable others skilled in the' nrt to ineke. :1nd use the sinne, reference being had to the ccconipmtying drawing, ftn'ining part of. this specitiention.

Figure l represents n plnn or top view, partly in section, of our improved washingnmehine. Figa 2 is :i certi @nl transverse section of the sinne. Fig'. ."l is o detail longitudi- 1 ofthe liner fr, Fig'. l.

Simiinrletters of reference indicate corresponding ports.

This invention relates to n new power weshing-nntchino,oi' tlm-t. clnss in which :i rotary cylinder is arranged within n cylindrical ense.

A in the drawing represents 'the outer cose or shell of our improvedwnshing-lnnohino. lt is placed horizontally on feet or standards o a, and is 'provided with zi hinged door, b, at one side. V e l Y v Within the sheli A suspended the rotary cylinder B, which is nt its ends` rvidcd with projecting; pins c c, tlmteonstitnte the snpportingaxle ot' the Nuno. `The bearings ol.` the axle c orc in the ends of the shell A..

A toothed wheel, d, mounted upon the simil; c, meshes into c, similar wheel, e, on the driving-shaft C, which driving-short hns its henrings in enrsj, that project from the shell.

The cylinder B is, by al longitudine-l control pgirtition, (j, divided into two seini-cvlindricnl compartments, and each of the latter by two {niore or less) transverse partitions, it, into silililar spaces; The Apartit-ions [.1 *it are prol vided with corrugated or Vconghened snriiices, v find are either perforar-ted or solid. 'lho partition li serves'to lte'ep theV several articles separated, and facilitates the exercise of'zi perfect control. The cylinderB has n large opening` lbore cach Side of the partition g, which openingr may be closed by, o. door-,p if desired.

flhe ledge i, projecting from each side of i the partition g, is not perforated, while the nel section oi' the. some, teiten on the plane otlierport ot Bis perforated to let the wrt-ter through. The ledge i will serve to collect the descending water ond conse itto produce zi cataract, in which the garments will be properly agitated, but l not rolled or crowded together,

The cylinder l5 fits so closely into the shell A `that even il' no doors are arranged in it the garments could not foil outot' the compari` ments'- An inwardly-proiccting rib, j, on the shell ren-chesso' close to theA cylinder l t'lxnt it will prevent the water from being tot-ced through the crei'ices of the'door l).

Ain order to bring the openings in the eyliir der lin linewith the door b previous to opening the letter, we have lmnp; n roclcslmft, l), to one end of the shell A. This shaft carries on :i crdnlql, n projecting pin, l', which, when held ogn-inst the wheel d during the rotation of the cylinder, will enter one ot' two slots, gm, ot snid wheel, ond thereby arrest the further motion of the cylinder, looking' it in the de Sired position. The sii-me motion of the sho-ft l) serves also to withdraw the clutch u, that locks the wheel c from the latter, and to thns throw the rotating` mechanism outl of gear.

Hoving thus described our invention, we clnim :is new :nid desire to secure by Letters l. The. (minbingition hf the shell A with the rihj :1nd tlie'c`-1li'nde-B,,substantially :is nod l'or the ptn-poses` hereiii shown onddescribed.

2. flhe cylinder l5, constructed :is described,

provided with the partitions g 71, to forni n series ot independenti. compartments, con

strneted :isset fort-h. E

il. The ledge li, arr-tinged on each comportincnt or the cylinder,:u1d mudo solid, while the rennlining side ot' the .cylinder is perforated, es `set forth.

4:. ln combination with the element-s of foregoing cln-iln-s, the rock-shaft l), applied to the shell A, und provided with the pin l, for locking the washing-cylinder, ond with the clutch il, snbstnntially asherein shown ond described.
