IMPROVEMENT IN CLOTHES-POUNDERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No- 138,024, dated April 22, 1873; application filed March 25, I873. v
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL HINKEL, of Goodville, in the county of Lancaster and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in a Washing-Founder, of which the following is a specification:
The novelty of my washing-pounder consists in the arrangement of the air-passages and valved handle to facilitate its action and prevent the suction or resistance experienced when a closed rim or cylinder closed up at one end are used, greatly lessening the fatigue or labor in washing.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the arran cement and construction of this pounder, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view, showing the interior of the bell-mouth. Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the center.
A briefdescription will enable an y one skilled in the art to make and use the same.
The bevel or funnel-shaped portion A surrounds a central cylinder, 0, open at both ends, the upper portion prolonged to form a socket, G, for a handle, H. This handle is centrally hollowed out below, and the opening f communicates with side openings Fin said handle, fitting into the socket or cylinder 0, and has a valve, E, opening downward within the cylinder C, which latter does not extend as far down as the outer rim A of the pounder. Between this central cylinder 0 and the outer conic sides there is an open cylinder, B, having vertical sides, which are fixed at four or more points to the inner conic or funnelform portion A, with intermediate scallops or airpassages on the open edge. There are also air-ho1es 12 cut out of the vertical sides of this intermediate cylinder B to communicate with air-passages a. made in the upper portion of the plunger or pounder A, on the outer face of which there are shown four air passages or pipes, I) d, contracted below and opening on the lower edge or mouth of the sides or pounder A. The object of these air-passages and valve is to facilitate the action of raising the plunger or washing-pound er and conduce to its efficacy, at the same time in plunging the air confined, instead of resisting the operation by its condensation, is forced out around the margin, and adds to the efiicacy of washing, while it lessens the labor.
I am aware that the old wooden pounder has Witnesses:
