Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 14, 1916.
, Application filed November 1, 1915. Serial No. 59,089.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSIAH S. ROBBINS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Al 'lentown, in the county of Monmouth and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Clothes Washing, Rinsing, and Drying Machines; and I do declare the following to be lever and the ear thereon, this view being.
a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates broadly toimprovements in washing machines, and has for its object to so improve upon the construction of such devices asto allow them to be used not only for washing the clothes, but for rinsing and drying the same.
To this end, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction and unique combinations of parts to be hereinafter fully described and claimed, the descriptive matter being supplemented by the accompanying drawings which constitute a part of this application and in which,
Figure l is a side elevation of a washing machine constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is a-simil'ar view taken at right angles to Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the improved machine showing more particularly the driving means therefor; Fig. 4: is a verticalsection taken at right angles to Fig. 3 and showing the relative positions of parts while washing; Fig. 5 is a similar view showing the application of such parts when drying the clothes; Fig. 6 is'a detail vertical section through the foot taken substantially upon the line 66 of "Fig. 5; and Fig. 7 is a horizontal sectional view as seen on the plane of the line 77 of Fig. 3. p v 1 In specifically describing the invention, reference will be made to the drawings above briefly described by similar characters placed on corresponding parts throughout the several views.
To this end, the numeral 1 designates an appropriate tub here shown of common construction, being increased in height by the provision of an upstanding flange 2 of sheet metal or the like, to whose upper edge an ap ropriatecover .3 is hinged.
aving its lower end inserted through the bottom of the tub is an upright sleeve 4, such sleeve being preferably held in position .slidably receives an upright shaft 6, such shaft being preferably of rectangular design throughout its length and having its lower end received in a socket or thelike 7 carried by the inner end of a horizontal foot lever 8, such lever being fulcrumed between its ends to a hanger 9 depending from the tub, while its outer end is equipped with an appropriate foot pedal 10. Said outer end of the lever 8 is also provided with a depending ear 11 having a series of vertically spaced openings 12 adapted to receive therein the bill 13 on the lower end of a hook shank 14: which is pivoted to and depends from the tub 1. It isto be understood that only the corners of the shaft 6 contact with the sleeve 4:. Thus although the shaft in question is free to rotate and slide vertically, very little friction will exist between it and said sleeve.
The shaft 6 passes slidably through the hub of a horizontal bevel gear 15 supported by and meshing with an upright bevel gear 16 which is keyed to a horizontal shaft 17, the latter being rotatably mounted in appropriate bearings depending from the tub 1. One end of the shaft 17 is equipped with,
a comparatively small sprocket wheel 18 around which a sprocket chain 19 passes, such chain being driven by a relatively large sprocket wheel 20 equipped with an appropriate crank 21 if hand power is to be employed, or with a pulley wheel or the like if the machine is to be mechanically driven.
be attached and detached when desired.
Rotatably disposed within the tub 1 is an appropriate clothes basket 24 here shown as formed of wire netting properly reinforced, the bottom of said basket being equipped with an upstanding sleeve 25 loosely surrounding the sleeve 4 and having at its upper end a cap 26 formed with a central rectangular opening receiving the upper end of the square shaft 6, a'set screw 27 i being preferably threaded through said cap and into contact with the shaftto prevent relative vertical, movement of the two.
However, other means might well be provided for the attainment of this end.
Positioned loosely within the basket and havinga ribbed lower side, is a rubbing ring'28 preferably constructed of'wood, said ring being equipped with a number of upwardly'and outwardly curved arms 29 received slidably in uprightchannel shaped guides secured to the inner side of the tub 1. Thus, the'ring 28 may move vertically according to requirements,'but may not rotate until raised to such an extent as to allow the arms 29 to disengage the guides 30.
When operating the machine, the cover is opened, the basket 24 is filled with the clothes to be washed either before or after partially filling the tub with washing fluid,
the rubbing ring 28 is applied to use in contact with the upper side of such clothes, and
the cover 3 is closed. The handle 23 isnow applied to. the squared end 22 of the shaft 17 and suchshaft is oscillated, thus oscillating the upright shaft 6 and in turn imparting such movement to the basket 24, it being of 'course understood that the latter is submerged in the fluid in the tub 1. This operation' eflectively washes the soiled clothes,-
. it being obvious that the rubbing ring 28 plays an important part, since it may not rotate, whereas the clothes within the basket are constantly moved to and": fro over its ribbed under side.
When the clothes are to be rinsed, the foot pedal .10 is alternately depressed and released, thus rapidly reciprocating the basket 24 vertically through the fluid. The fluid previously used for washing must be drained *outand a fresh supply used for rinsing purposes. vertically in the channel-shaped guides 30 as will be obvious from an inspection of the While rinsing, the arms 29 will slide drawings. The rinsing operation completed,
drying is next to be done. This is accom plished by depressing the foot pedal 10 to raise the basket 24 and its contents above the water level in'the tub, whereupon the hook nose 13 is inserted in an a propriate opening12 to prevent lowering 0 said basket. The handle 23 is now removed, and
the crank 21 is actuated to swiftly rotate the basket 24',- through' the instrumentality of the driving connections above descrlbed. The result is that all moisture. will be thrownoutwardly from the clothesinto the tubby centrifugal force, thereby .rendering i the use of a wringer unnecessary. Raising of the basket to a level for drying the clothes therein will dispose the arms 29. in a plane above the guides 30, thereby allowing the basket to be rotated'without removing the rubbing ring, 28. This salient feature Wlll be obvious fromthe drawings, even though in Fig. 5 the ring has been removed.
From the foregoing,-it will be obvious that I have provided a single machine for washing, rinsing and drying the clothes without once removing the same, this being,
deemed a marked advance in the class of devices to which my invention relates, since it undoubtedly reduces the cost and labor of washing to a minimum.
In the drawings, certain specific details of construction have been shown for illustrative purposes, and in the preceding such details have been described, but it is obvious that numerous changes may be made within the scope of the invention as claimed without sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.
- I claim A combined clothes washing, rinsing and drying machine comprising an upright cyrotated its contents will be dried by ce'ntri ugal force, a clothes rubber inserted in the open upper end of the basket, an arm radiating from said rubber above the upper edge of the basket, and an upright guide secured to the wall of the tub and engaged by said arm to hold the rubber against rotation when washing'and rinsing, the arm bemg allowed toslide in respect to the guide when performing the last named operation, said ide being of a length to be disengaged by gaiid arm when the basket is raised for drymg.
testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
