To o?! 'wim/1L `it muy concern: n
Be it known that I, HENRY S. Jrnn, a c1t1- ren of the United States. residing at VVilmette. in the count-y of Cook and State of Illinois. have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in lVringers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to wringers, and the object of the invention is to provide a wringer so constructed that the pressure be tween the rollers may be instantly released in case the hand or clothing of the operator should be caught. I accomplish my object by the mechanism illustrated in the aecompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a general front elevation of a. Wringer embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is an end view thereof, and Fig. 3 is a detail showing,lr upon yan enlarged scale that part of the apparatus more particularly concerned withmy invention.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout`the several views.
The wringer frame 1 supports the lower roller 2 and upperroller 3, operated by gears 4 in the ordinary manner. These may be driven by power or by hand crank 5.
The upper roller is vertically movable, and in the preferred construction the upper rolleris journaled at the ends in blocks 6, which are vertically guided in slots 7 "formed in the wringer frame. SpringsS are mounted in the slots for holding the blocks 6 and upper roller down, as in the ordinary construction. At the top of the frame a cross bar 10 extends from one side to the other, entering the slots 7 above the springs. The purpose of this bar is to back up the springs, and in the preferred construction adjust.- ment is provided for by screws 11 which coperate with threaded blocks 12 located in the bar, the lower end of the screws abutting blocks 13 at the top of the springs, as shown in detail in Fig. 3. By screwing the screws 11 up or down tension upon the springs may be increased or decreased.
The bar 10, instead of being fastened in the frame, is vertically movable therein, as above suggested, and is held down in position by detents 1'5. In this preferred construction the detents are yoke shaped and extend over the to or back of bar 10 and down the sides of t e frames, to which they are pivoted by pins 16. The detents are provided with handles 17 and the detents are so placed at the ends of the bar that they may be readily rotated over the end of the bar out of engagement therewith.
In operation, the parts are assembled in `the relative positions shown in the drawmgs, with the bar l() backing up the springs and the detents in vertical position. The upward movement of the bar 10 is limited by the detente, and any degree of tension upon the springs may be obtained by means of the adjusting screws 1l. If by accident the clothinor or fingers of the operator becomes caught in the rolls or a wad of clothing too large for the wringer is about to be dragged through, the operator may instantly release the tension ofthe springs by throwing one or both of the detents to nonactin position. It is not necessar lease oth of the detents to release tie pres sure of the upper roller, partially at least, and as the detents are located in a very accessible position and are operable from either side of the wringer and as there is a detent at each end of the wringer it is but the not of a moment to release one or both of these detents.
It will be noted that as a result of my construction the cross bars may be instantly released for the purpose of renewing or repairing the. rollers or other operating parts of the wringer, and this may be accolaplished without changing the adjustment of the screws. In other words, the arts may "be disassembled and then reassem iled without changing the original adjustment.
Having thus describedv my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a wringer, the combination of a frame provided with a pair of uprights, one at each end of the frame, said uprightsv having vertical slots therein which are open at the top, a pair of rollers in said frame one of which is vertically movable, a spring in each of said uprights for holding the movable roller to its work. a vertically movable cross bar extending from one upright t0 the other located above and backingr up said springs and having its ends extending into said slots whereby its movement is confined to a vertical pat-h, and a yoke on cach upright pivoted to the sides thereof and cxtending across the top of the u right across the slot therein for holding tie cross bar down on said spring-s. said vokes being capato re- 10 blocks sliding ble ifswingin clear of the top oi then f rightsy to there y release eitherend of t e horizontal bar.v` n L 2. In vcombination, 'a pair' of wringer 5 rollers, one above the other, the upper one ression springs.. overl-yin the movable locks, a, cross bar extending across from o ne upright to the other located above andy into said slots and being vertically movablel '15 therein, adjustingy screws' carried by said bark and acting upon said springs,y yokes pi-voted to the sides of the mernbers and extending over the ,top thereofy across thev slots for holdingthe cross bardown, 'said yokes' being capable ofjswin'gin out-v ward' to clear and release the' cross ar at either end thereof, and an upstanding handle on each of'said yokes for ymuampulating it.
In Witness whereof, I have hereunto sub- HowARn M. Cox, l MARGARE';
scribed my name in the presence of two Witnesses. i p I j HENRY s. JUDD.
