SAMUEL Aii'riuAN AND r.Tosnrn Gnoss'MAN; or NEW YORK, N. Y.
. wiisHBoAnD. n
Application fiieaoctober s;
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, SAMUEL ALTMAN, a' citizen of Russia,and residing at New York, in the county of Bronx and State of New York, and Josurri IGrnossiuan, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and residing at New York, in the county `of New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Washboards, .of which the following is a specification.
This 'invention relates to wash-boards, and the principal object is the provision of an improved construction, provided above the rubbing board or brand with a'receptacle for holding articles such as soap, the bottom of the receptacle being Aholed through to permit the quick escape of water' draining from the soap or similar articles when in use, the front wall of the receptacle consisting of doors, adapted to slide upon each other to permit accessto the receptacle. In this connection also, there is in view the provision of a metallic washboard having its parts so designed that it may be manufactured at comparatively small expense.
Other improvements are referred to in The accompanying drawings illustrate the preferred embodiments of the invention as reduced to practice.
Figure 1 is a view in front elevation of a wash-board made in accordance with the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section, taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a similar section, fractionally shown, on a larger scale.
Fig. 4 is a horizontal section, line lf-fl of Fig. 1.
Referring more particularly to the embodiments illustrated, the numerals 5 and 6 represent corresponding side-bars or legs, which are connected at their top ends by a head-bar 7. These parts are made of metal, preferably of comparatively thick sheet tin, which is curved upon itself, by any suitable operation, into tubular form.` Each sidebar, at a suitable and corresponding distance above its foot end, has its longitudinal meeting edges cut away so as to provide a longitudinal slot 8. y
9 represents a metallic corrugated rubbing plate or brand, which is engaged be- 6, its side edges extending through the slots 8 formed theretakenon the 1. speeifieaueii of Letters raient;
' side-bars,
ridges thereof, midway .by v.slots 8, between the rubbing plate and the head-bar, the elements 19, approximately U- and positioned withy Patented Feb. 24., 1920. 1919. s'eriai' No; 329,401.
in. The lowerend 10 of the rubbing plate is curled around and clenched upon a rod 11, which extends throughand connects the the" outer ends ofthe rodl being massed or spread to form` securing vrivet heads 12. As clearly shown in Fig. 8, the topv end ofv the rubbingplate', Vbetween the side-bars, is bent upon itself to form two parallel upwardly projecting ridges 13 with a furrow therebetween, and is then crimped upon itself. This same figure also shows that the head-bar 7 is made with two parallel downwardly projecting ridges 14 with a furrow therebetween. Arranged, one behind the other, in the furrows or grooves thus made in the rubbing plate'and head-bar are the sliding doors 15 and 16, each of which is just a little longer than one-half the distance between the side-bars. Each sliding door, near may be conveniently opened or closed in an obvious manner. To brace the rubbing plate and liead-bar, we connect the rear their lengths, by a strip 18.
A s best shown in Fig. 4:, there aresecured soldering or otherwise, in-the side-bar shaped in cross-section, their furrows confronting to receive the outer ends of the sliding doors when closed.
" The sliding doors represent the front clofor a rectangular receptacle sure or plates 20, whose top plate 21 is soldered orotherwise secured to tom plate 22 is similarly secured to the rubbing plate, and whose opposite end plates are secured in like manner to the adjacent side-bars. This receptacle is designed to hold soap cakes, soap powder, bluing, and other materials used in washing. 1n the commonly constructed wash-boards, the soap ledge is so narrow that the soap cakes arefcontinually slipping or falling 0H when wet. Moreover, they are held in such position that the arms and sleeves of the washer are continually being daubed with the soap. Through the introduction of our door closed receptacle, these disadvantages are eliminated. n
The bottom plate 22 is provided with a series of apertures 24, for the quick escape of any water that is carried into the receptacle on the soap cakes. The soap cakes,
its outer end, is provided with a finger aperture 17, by which it.
the head-bar 7 whose bottherefore, being located in a dry place when not in use, are not wasted, a featurewhieh marks another.A advantage over the commonly employed washboards. y
Inserted Vin the lower ends of the sid`ebars are suitable, feet 25,011 which the strueture rests, the saine bein@ preferably of tu'- bular form to permit the Water to d-rain from the side-bars, whifh are also provided lwith other water 'outlets 26.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim is:` In a wash-board, a framel consistingof tubular side-bars and a tubular head-bar engaged therebetween, said head-bar being formed with parallel downwardly projectrnents slidably engaged in said head-bar g groove and in said rubbing plate groove, members carried by the side-bars for receiving the outer ends of the door elements when closed, and a receptacle supportedby the structure behind the In testimony whereof we have names to this specification.
