JOHN: I. STEEN, or WAUKEGAN', ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOB, To TRIPLE METALS CORPORA- TION,OF WAUKEGAN, rumors, ACORPORATIONOF ILLINOIS.
ATTACHMENT FOR WASHBOILERS.
To all whom it'may concern Be it known that 1, JOHN I. STEEN, a
citizen of "Finland,residing at Waukegan,
county of Lake, "and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in an "Attachment for Washboilers, of which the following is a specification.
This'invention relates. to domestic laundry devices, and has among its objects the I facilitating the washing of-clothes and the like, by subjecting them to the cleansing action of a constant currentor circulation of hot water or soap-suds andsteam.
A further object is to furnish a wash- 2.0 boiler attachment of suchj construction as to adapt it for use in wash-boilers of the standard size, and so that parts thereof may.
be detachedfrom other parts andthe entire device compactly packed for shipment,
thereby rendering it unnecessary to ship with the attachment a bulky boiler.
Still another object is to provide an at-* tachment of the above named general character, by 'meansof which the articles being fl washed can be readily removed in bulk' from the boiler and so held, if desired, to permit them to drain.
A still further object is to provide'means A for concentrating the heat of the burners of a stove or gas plate and for applying it in such a way to the attachment, that steam within the boiler will be quicklygenerated, and together with hot water will be discharged on the arments or articles to be percolated theret rough.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the follow ing description and explanation.
The invention consists in; certain peculi- '45 arities of the construction, novel arrangement, combination and operation of the parts thereof as will be hereinafter more fully set forth and specifically claimed.
'In the accompanying drawing, which serves to illustrate an embodiment of the inventiong Figure '1 a vertical sectional view of 'the attachment showing it located in a wash-boiler ready for use. 7
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Oct. 4', 1921. Application fl1e d"0ctober 6, 1'920. Serial No.'415,023.
' Fig. 2"is a horizontal sectional view taken on line 22 of Fig. 1 looking inthe direction indicated'by'the arrows. 7
Like numerals of reference refer to similar parts in both views of the drawing.
The numeral 5*designates a wash-boiler of the usual flat bottomed construction and of the standard size. This boiler is by preference provided at the upper portion of each end thereof with a handle'fi for lifting or moving the vessel from place to place, and is supplied with a lid or cover 7 adapted to fit or tightly close the upper portion thereof. V 1
The attachment comprises a hollow base, which is designated as 'a whole by the numeral 8, which is of asizeand shape to fit portion 10, of'the base is provided in its lower edge with a series of spaced openings llfor t e passage of water. By this arrangement it is obvious that a hollow base orchamber is provided for thegeneration of steam and for the circulation therethrough ofwater.
The plate 9 of the base 8 is provided on its lower surface with a pair of spaced annuli 12 which are so-located with respect to one another as to each surround a burner of the gas stove orv gas plate on which the boiler may be located when using the same. Each of the annuli or ring-like bands 12 is of a depth equal to that of the deflected portion 10 of the plate 9 of the base, which deflected portion and said band-like members or annuli 12 will afford a strongsupport for the plate 90f the base. Each of the annuli 12 is provided inits lower edge with; a plurality of spaced recesses or cutouts 13 for the'passage of water and steam. The plate 9 of the base is provided concentrically with respect to each of the annuli 12 with an upwardly extended tube 14 which communicates with the cavities formed by the annular members 12 as will be readily understood by reference to Fig. 1
- of the drawing.
Horizontally and diametrically located in the upper portion of each of the tubes 14 is a rod 15 which has on each of its ends exterof water and steam. The upper end of each of the pipes 17 is closed and by preference is provided with an upwardly extended loop or hook 18 through which a pole may be extended longitudinally with'respect to the boiler when it is desired to remove the attachment from the latter. The upper end of each of the pipes 17 is provided with a series of openings 19' which are arranged in staggered relation to one another and are by preferenceproduced by punching portions 20 of the metal out of which the pipes arejmade inwardly yet so that the upper edge of each of said portions will be connected to the pipes. By this arrangement it is evident that each pipe 17 will be provided in the upper portion of its walls with a plurality of outlets 19 for the passage of steam and water and that each outlet will have an inwardly and downwardly disposed deflector 20 to cause the steam and water as the same rises in the pipe 17 andv passes through the openings 19 to be deflectedor discharged downwardly injets around each of the pipes. The plate 9 of the base 8 is provided at about its juncture with the downwardly deflected part 10 with a numher of-upwardly-extended brackets 21 on the upper portions of which is mounted and se cured a rail 22 which coincides with the out lines of the base when viewed from above and together with the base and brackets 21 will provide a tray or basket-like container for the articles to be washed, which of course, after the attachment has been placed.
in the boiler as shown infFig. 1, will be placed on the base 8 within the railing thereof. V 7
Again referring to the pipes 17 it will be seen and understood by reference :to Fig. 1 that the lower portion of each pipe is provided witha bayonet slot 23 on opposite, sides thereof to receive and engage the rods 15 inwardly of their heads 16, which rods are mounted on'the tubes 14 as above set forth.
By this construction it is obvious that the pipes 17 can be readily attached to the tubes 14 in such a way that the attachment can be easily removed even when loaded with clothes from the boiler by means of the hooksor loops 18 on the pipes 17 through which a pole or other device may be extended for lifting the attachment out of the boiler. By detachably mountingthe pipes 17 on the tubes 14 it is manifestthat said pipes can be readilyreleased from the tubes and placed in a horizontal position on the base 8 within the railing 22 when the attachment will be in such condition as to be compactly packed for shipment.
The operation of-the device is as follows:
Assuming that the arts are placed in the boiler as shown" in Fig. 1 of the drawings, it
is obvious that a sufficient quantity of water may be supplied to the boiler and the clothes or articles to be washed are placed therein so as to rest on the base 8 of the attachment and to partially fill theboiler. --The thus equipped boiler can then beplaced. on a stoveorgas plate, when it will be understood that the annularmembersilZ can be located so as to-surrounda pair of the burners of the stoveor said plate thus utilizing the heat from said burners in direct ap- 'plication to' thebottom of the boiler circumscribed. by the members 12, which arrangement will cause the water encompassed by the, members 12 to quickly become heated ,and ascend in the form of hot water and steam through the pipes 17 from the upper portions of which the same will be, d1scharged in all directions through the openings 19 so as to fall on. top of the clothesor garments through which the. water will percolate to againenter the openings 13 of the members 12 when the same operation will be continued as, long as sufficient heat is applied to the boiler. v
Having thus. fully described my; invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent. is. 1
A device of the class described, consisting of a base having its edges downwardly deflected therefrom and'adapted torest on the'bottom of a boiler therebyiorming a chamber between said base and the bottom of the boiler; said deflected; portion of the base havin'g ,spaced recesses therein, a pair of spaced upright tubes mounted on the base at adistance from its edges .in com munication with said chamber, a perforated annulus mounted 'on the lower surface of the base around each of said tubes and each adapted to rest on the bottom of the boiler, a. pipe interlockingly and detachably connected at its lower end to each of said tubes and havingits upper end closed and below said end a plurality. of openings, an inwardly and downwardly disposed deflector located within each of said pipes above each of the openings in the upper part thereof, a hook or loop on the upper endofeach ofsaidpipes; and ia horizontally disposed rail supported by the base at a distance above the same along its edges.
