EDWIN P. RUSSELL, OF MANLIUS, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN CLOTHES-WRINGERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 123,794, dated February 20, 1872.
SrEcIEIcATIoN.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWIN P. RUSSELL, of Manlius, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York,have invented a certain new and useful Olothes-Wringer; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is an end elevation of my invention, showing the mode of attach- 7 also, in the construction of the attaching apparatus, so that, in the act of attaching my invention for use, the tension of the rubber springs, and thereby the pressure, can be determined or regulated, the effect of such construction of the attaching apparatus serving also to relieve the tension of the rubber springs when the wrin ger is removed from the tub and set aside for future use.
The frame of my clothes-wringer, consisting of the bridgeA and supports 0 c, is cast in one piece of malleable iron, and covered with a heavy coating of tin to prevent rusting, as well as improvethe appearance of the machine.
Bridge A is of length sufficient to suit the roller B, which has its bearings on the supports a. (See Fig. 1.) Roller B is composed of an iron shaft, which, after having been fluted and dipped in strong brine, is. driven through the full length of the wooden cylinder of the roller, which is provided with flanges E at each of its ends, about ten inches apart, over which cylinder a' rubber tube, k, is drawn, and, being in its internal diameter about the eighth of an inch less than the diameter of the cylinder between its flanges E, said tube is will fit smoothly and tightly on the cylinder between flanges E. The rubber tube 70 is about ten inches in length, or equalto the distance between flanges E, and two inches in external diameter, with an internal diameter of about an inch and a half. These proportions, of course, may be varied. Power to run the machime is applied to the long end of the shaft of roller B. The
fulcrum of each of levers I is an eccentric quite so long, and withoutextending one end of its shaft longer than the other from end of the roller. This roller It has bearings furnished its journals E in the angles of the angularshaped main levers I, (see Fig. 1,) the bearings of roller It permitting this roller to rest upon the side and near the top of roller B. (See Fig. 1.) At each end of the bridge A is a flange, 0, through each of which there is a hole to receive a journal, m, of each of the standards W, each of which has two long prongs, D, and one short prong, S, with a set-screw, Y. Each of these standards, with its prongs and set-screws, constitute the means by which my invention is attached for use. Each of the journals m has its upper end made into a rivet-head above the flange 0 in such a manner as to permit each of the standards W to be freely turned, so as to conform the position of its prongs and set-screw to any-sized tub or straight board to which it is desired to fix the machine. To the rear end of supports 0 Ipivot the back and lower ends of the angularshaped main levers .I. The angle of each of these levers I is made at such a point as to allow ofbearings for the journals E of the rollerR being formed at the angle, while the roller Itis just to one side and near the top-of roller B. Compound and swing levers F are-pivoted near their centers (see H, Fig. 1) to the outer ends of main levers I-each lever F to a lever I. One end of each of the levers F is run in under the shaft of roller B, between the end of said roller and support 0, so as to make said levers F nearly stationary, while the other or outer ends of these levers each have suitable shanks L to receive and hold the rubber springs T. Each of the supports 0 has a hole in its front end at u, where a lever, s, is pivoted, with its outer end of suitable shape to receive and hold rubber spring T, while the inner end of said lever .5- runs back and under bridge A.
hen a clothes-wringer has been constructed as above set forth, to operate it the wringer is placed on the top of a tub, (see J, Fig. 1,) with the two long prongs I) of each of the standards WV on the inside of the tub, and the short prong S and set-screw Y on the outside thereof; then, by pressing the wringer down onto the top of the tub, you will force the back ends of the leverss up and their front and outer ends down, and so cause the tension of the rubber springs T; and then, by turning up the set-screws Y, the machine will be firmly secured to the tub, and the invention is ready for operation. I relieve the tension of the rubber springs T and the pressure of the roller R against roller B by unscrewing the set-screws Y; for by so doing the wringer is allowed to rise 011 the tub as the rear ends of levers 8 drop, while its outer ends are raised by the lifting action of the springs T to a sufficient height to relieve the tension of the springs T and pressure of the roller B.
At the rear side of bridge A there are two guides, g, which guide the clothes as they are wrung.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The bridge A and supports a a, when constructed and operating substantially in the manner and for the purposes specified.
2. The main levers I I and levers F F, in combination with journals E E of roller B, when constructed and operating substantially in the manner and for the purposes described.
3. The levers s s for regulating the tension of springs T T, and also the pressure of rollers R and B, when the Wringer is in use, when constructed and operating substantially in the manner and for the purposes set forth 4. The combination of the rollers R and B, and levers I and F, and standards 0, when constructedand operating substantially in the manner and for the purposes described.
