' BUCKET CLOTHES-WASHER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 1, 1921.
Application filed April 26, 1918. Serial No. 230,921.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JANE A. WRIGHT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bordentown, in the county of Burlington and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bucket Clothes-Washers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The object of the invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive and eflicient clothes washer adapted to be used in connection with an ordinary bucket or a specially constructed bucket or similar receptacle of a readily portable size designed for household use, and the preferred embodiment of the invention consists of a construction, combination and relation of parts hereinafter fully described, it being understood however that changes in form and proportion may be resorted to, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a sectional view of a washer in complete form ready for use.
Fig. 2 is a plan view o'f the same as shown by the section line 22 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the washer blade or beater.
The receptacle 10 is preferably of the size and general form of the ordinary household bucket, but preferably it is interiorly corrugated as shown at 11 so as to increase the abrasive or rubbing effect upon the clothes or other fabrics which are undergoing treatment, and spanning the top of this receptacle is a frame or spider 12 having terminal clips 13 for engagement under the edge or rim 14 of the receptacle and provided at its center with a bearing 15. Preferably the frame or spider is bifurcated at one end to provide arms 16 to facilitate the engagement of the same with the receptacle, and also to guard against accidental displacement while the device is in use.
Mounted in the bearing 15 is the stem 17 of a paddle or beater 18, preferably, as shown, consisting of a doubled and looped portion of the wire or rod constituting a common blank with said stem and embodying the lateral upper loops 19 and 20 extending in opposite directions from the line of the stem and connected lower eyes 21 and 22 arranged preferably in the same plane with the loops 19 and 20. At its upper end the stem is provided with a grip 23, and as the stem is loosely mounted for rec'iprocatory movement in the bearing 15, a vertical movement of the beater or paddle is possible in connection with the cleansing of articles contained in the receptacle. Also attached to the shaft to provide for imparting rotary motion thereto and hence to the beater is a crank 24, the hub 25 of which may be secured to the stem by means of a set screw 26. 7
It will be obvious from the foregoing description that a rotary motion or a back and forth oscillatory movement may be imparted to the paddle or beater by means of the crank 24, or a vertical dasher or reciprocatory movement may be imparted thereto, by means of the grip 23, or a combination of these movements may be adopted in the operation upon the contents of the receptacle, and it will also be clear that the attachment including the dasher may be readily removed from and replaced upon the receptacle to facilitate the introduction and removal of the clothes or other articles, and that in the construction of the beater or dasher there are no projecting points or terminals which can have the effect of tearing or otherwise injuring fabrics of more or less fine or fragile texture. The corrugations on the wall of the receptacle, extending transversely to the direction of rotary movement of the dasher or heater, serve to impede the rotary movement of the contents of the receptacle and thus produce a rubbing eflect which increases the cleansing action of the apparatus.
Having described the invention, what is claimed is: t
1. In a washing machine, a receptacle, a
slidable and rotatable beater within the .re-
ceptacle formed of a single strand, a stem integral with and rising from the beater, a mounting for the stem, a grip formed integral with the stem at its top to facilitate depression of the beater, and means extending from the stem below the grip operable the stem and resting on the bearing to vary to rotate the beater. the height of the beater. 10 V 2. In a washing machine, a receptacle, a In testimony whereof I afiix my signature spider made in sections forming a bearing in presence oi two witnesses.
attheir junction, said sections having spring JANE A. WVRIGHT. clips to engage the receptacle, a beater l1av- WVitnesses: mg a stem slidable and rotatable in said ANNA B. MALONE,
bearing, and a handle adjustably secured to Jos. R. MALONE.
