IMPROVEMENT IN ADJUSTABLE PITMEN FOR WASHING-MACHINES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 126,317, dated April 30, 1872.
Specification describing an Improvement on a certain Box Wash-Machine, invented jointly by ANDREW MOGINNES and BRINTON J. OAR- TER, ot' the city of Lancaster, in the State of Pennsylvania. I
The object of our invention is to provide a means for adjusting the rubbers of a washingmachine for which Letters Patent were granted to Stephen M. Smith dated October 25, 1870, No. 108,646, and to perfect the same, and better to adapt the action of the rubbers for washing a single article for bringing the rubbers into closer contact, or separating them to their utmost capacity for a full amount of clothing or goods to be washed, by the extension or shortening of the pitman connected with the cross-bar that unites the rubber arms above.
Figure 1 shows our improved sliding capplate N, slotted pitman G, and lever-screw M for relaxing the plate N to make the adjustment more easily accomplished. Fig. 2 is amodi'fication of Fig. 1, in which a loop or cap, N, is used instead of the simple plate N.
By making a slot in the pitman, and connecting it with the cross-bar 0 by means of a sliding plate or cap, N, with a binding-screw, or by using a loop or cap, N, which is made to embrace the pitman in which it slides, and held by a binding-screw, M, this may be provided with an arm, m, instead of an ordinary thumb-screw, the adjustability of the pitman G by the means specified is found to be of the greatest advantage for perfecting said machine.
What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The pitman G, made adjustable by means of a binding-screw, M, and a sliding cap or plate, N or N, substantially as in the manner and for the purpose specified.
