WASHING-MACHINE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 1, 1916.
Application filed July 12, 1915. Serial No. 39,307.
a all w; it a U1 to be washed and means operable within the cy dcr for keeping the clothes .nder constant agitation, and my said invention primarily has for its object to pro-1f vide an improved. washing machine of the general character stated of a simple and inexpensive nature and in which the cooperative arrangement and construction of the boiler or casing and the inner cylinder is such as to provide for aprecipitation of the dirt in the boiler so that it will not be stirred up with the clothes in the inner cylinder and by means of which the clothes are always held from engaging the bottom of the outer casing or boiler a'uc. becoming scorched or burned.
Another object of my invention is to provide, in a washing machine of the character stated, a clothes wringer mounted on the casing or boiler, and a driving mechanism adapted for being readily shifted for im parting motion to either the clothes agitator or stirrer devices or to the wringer or for being shifted to neutral. when it is desired to boil the clothes before subjecting them to the rinsing operation.
With other objects in view, my invention consists in certain details of construction and novel combination of parts hereinafter explained, specifically pointed out in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section of my in :roved washing machine. Fig. '2 is a cross tron thereof on the line 2-2 in i 1, and Fig. 3 an end elevation thereof. Fig. is a detail view of the bearing for the inner sleeve.
in the practical application of my invention the outer cylindrical casing 1, (formed of an upper and a lower section) that constii i the boiler is'mounted on a suitable met i can that includes legs 3-3.
4 designates a. clothes wringcr fixedly mounted on the upper casing section near one end thereof.
5 indicates a perforated cylinder fixedly held within the outer cylinder and the said cylinder 5 has its sides and ends corrugated to producewash board surfaces.
(5 designates a sliding door on the inner cylinder for the insertion and removal of the clothes.
By referring to Fig. 1 it will be noticed the inner cylinder 5 is held with its sides and ends sufiiciently away from the sides and ends of the boiler to provide for ample circulation of the water and steam between the inner and outer cylinders and an effective sucking of the fluid into the inner or washing cylinder.
7 designates a series of radial arms or stirrers mounted on a shaft 8 that passes, from end to end, and through the inner and outer cylinders and at one end the said shaft has an extension 80 journaled in a suitable bracket 14 that projects up from the base 2, and 9 is a gear for driving the shaft 8 and 10 is a gear loosely mounted on the said shaft 8 from which power is transmitted through the gear connections 11-12, to the wringer, as is clearly shown in Fig. 1.
13 is a short shaft mounted in the bracket 14, that carries a shiftable gear 15 and fast and loose pulleys 16 and 17.
18 is a shiftable lever that engages the gear 15 as shown.
19 designates a vapor fuel burner mounted on the supporting base under the boiler, 20 the fuel tank, 21 a valve in the fuel feed pipe to the burner and 22 a gage glass for the boiler. A steam outlet 23 is joined with the upper section of the boiler space of cylinder and a valved discharge pipe 24 joins with the lower end of the said boiler as shown.
From the foregoi g taken in connection with the drawings the complete construction, the operation, and the advantages of my invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which my invention relates.
By reason of forming the inner cylinder with Wash board surfaces as hereinbefof stated a thorough separation of the dirt from the clothes is quickly effected and since the inner cylinder is held above the bottom of the boiler, it follows that the dirt from the clothes is precipitated toward the bottom of the boiler and hence it is not stirred up as the clothes are whirled within the cylinder, it being also clear that the clothes connot engage with the boiler bottom and become burned or scorched. If desired, motion may be applied to the shaft by a hand crank, but when the power is applied to the fast pulley or shaft, the shiftable gear is held in mesh with the gear fixed on the stirrer shaft. In case the operator cares to boil the clothes awhile before washing, the shiftable gear is moved to neutral (see dotted position in Fig. 1) and when he wishes to run the wringer he adjusts the shiftable gear into mesh with the gear connections that transmit the power to the wringer devices. For fixedly holding the inner perforated cylinder or drum the journal boxes or bearings 25 for the stirrer shaft include squared hubs 26 that project inside of the end heads of the boiler to engage with the squared axial apertures 28 in the ends of the drum as is best shown in Fig. 4.
What I claim is:
1. In a washing machine, an outer fixedly held cylindrical casing that constitutes a boiler, a casing or drum fixedly held within the outer casing and spaced from the sides and ends of the outer casing, the said inner casing or drum being perforated and having a doorway for the reception of the clothes,
an agitator or stirrer rotatable within the said inner casing or drum and means for operating the said stirrer.
2. In a washing machine, a suitable sup-- porting base, a fixedly held cylindrical casing, said casing being formed of upper and lower sections and mounted on the said supporting base, the upper section of the casinghaving a vent opening and the lower section having a valved discharge, a corrugated and perforated drum fixedly held within the casing with its ends and sides spaced from the casing ends and sides and a rotatable shaft that extends through the ends of the casing and through the drum, radial beater the casing that includes a squared hub that extends inside of the casing and the adjacent drum end, a shaft journaled in the said axial bearings, stirrer arms projected from the said shaft, said arms being located within the aforesaid inner drum, and means for in'iparting motion to the stirrer shaft.
