IMPROVEMENT IN WASHING-MACHINES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 131,398, dated September 17, 1872.
.New York, have invented certain Improvements in Washing-Machines, of which the following is a specification: r
The first part of my invention relates to the combination of a removable concave of rollers, which are used in a proper suds-box in such a manner that .said rollers shall be capable of being removed and replaced with dispatch. The object of this rst part of my invention is to effectually prevent the clothes from being fractured or injured by the tendency the said clothes have to draw in between the rollers when said machine is in practical operation, and become so entangled as to be impossible to remove without injury to the same, unless said rollers can be readily displaced. The second part of my invention relates to the combination, with movable rollers, of a flexible or pliant pressure-board, which is connected to the upper part of two perpendicular shafts. The same are capable of elevation and depression by having a spring inserted in them at the side of said suds-box. Said shafts are connected to a jointed treadle, the object of which is to admit of elevation and depression of said shafts in a perpendicular line without hindrance, binding, or undue friction; all arembodying my invention. Fig. 2 is an elevation, showing that end of the machine which is at the left hand in Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a vertical section, showing that part in the center of the machine where the line m .1v is drawn across Fig. 1.
A is a suds-box, which should be closely constructed to resist the escape of the suds B is a frame, which supports suds-box A at a suitable height. D is a board, on which a wringer can be attached. E is aboard connecting the lower part of the wringer-board to the end of the suds-box Ato prevent the suds from splashing out. F F are two cast metallic plates placed on the inside, and one on each side, of suds-box A. The plates F F have U- shaped notches made in them, which are open Said notches are a proper distance apart so the rollers G will not come in contact with each other. The journals of rollers G are placed in said notches, which are of a suitable depth to allow the upper side of said journals to be on a level with the top side of plates F F; and directly above the plates F F are placed head-boards H H, which are fitted exactly to the upper surface and ends of plates F F for the purpose of holding the journals of rollers G in their proper place. The ends of the head-boardsHH, which are at the right hand of the line :v a: drawn across Fig. l, are secured to the inside of the suds-box A with a hinge, and the ends on the left-hand side of the said line are fastened with the buttons I I. By turning the buttons I I the head-boards H H can be raised to a vertical position so the rollers may be removed or replaced when necessary. J is a pressureboard, and is made on the under side of a suitable shape to t the curve of the rollers G. The pressure-board J is attached to two pendent bars, K K, by the slotted plates d d, which are permanently secured to the pressure-board J and extending upward on the outside of the' pendent bars K K, are fastened by the bolts e e passing through the slots in plates d d and into pendent bars K K. a a are spiral springs, which are inserted into the center of the lower end of the pendent bars K K, and extending down into the pressure-board J. To the pressure-board J are attached two ro'ds, S S, the angles or outer parts of which are connected by a handle, G. L is a horizontal shaft, to
which the upper ends of the pendent bars K K are attached. The shaft L is attached at its outer ends to two perpendicular shafts, M M. The shafts M M extend down on the outside of the suds-box A and below the same. The shafts MM are slotted in the center vertically at the place where they come down along the outside of the suds-box A; and inserted in said slots are spiral springs ff, as shown in Fig. 3. c c are suitable frames made on the outside of suds-box A to hold the shafts M M and the spiral springs f f in their proper places. g g are pins or blocks secured to the bottom of suds-box A, and extending into the slots in the shafts M M and directly under the bottom of the spiral springs f f. The bearings ofthe shafts MM rest on the spiral springs f f in the upper part of the slots. The lower part of the shafts M M are connected to a cross-bar, N, and attached to the cross-bar is an elastic jointed treadle, l?. R is the piece extending from the joint in the treadle l? up to the suds-box A.
For the successful operat-ion of this machine it will be necessary to observe the following rules: Make the Water in the suds-box A to cover the middle roller G. Lay on the rollers G several thicknesses of clothes, putting the most dirty between the others. Place the foot on the elastic jointed treadle P and bring the pressure-board J down on the clothes. The pressure-board J is used to carry the clothes back and forth over the rollers and not rub the same. The pressure-board J is moved by the means of the handle C, which is grasped by the operator. Wash in boiling water second time 5 then suds and rinse with separate waters, moving the clothes freely with the pressure board J through lthe Water. The
pressure-board J, in consequence of being attached to the pendent bars K K by the slotted plates d d, and the spiral springs a a, are allowed an Yeven pliant pressure on the clothes, which admits ofthe latter being washed in an expeditious and judicious manner.
f, substantially as and for the Vpurpose set forth.
4. In combination with the perpendicular shafts M M, the cross-bar N, bar P, springjoint 1', and upright It, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
