UNITED STATES. PATENT OFFICE.
LEVI S. ENOS, OF ALMOND, NEW YORK, ASSIGN OR OF ONE-HALF HIS RIGHT TO SYLVESTER B. ESTABROOK, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT lN WASH-POUNDERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 140,261, dated June 24, 1873; application filed May 24, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
' Be it known that I, LEVI S. ENos, of Almond, in the county of Allegany and in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in VVash-Pounder; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the lettersbf reference marked thereon making a part of this specification.
My invention relates to that class of washpounders which is operated up and down in a tub or other vessel on the clothes; and it consists in the application of a movable handle and spring to such pounder, whereby air is.
allowed to pass in underneath the pounder to cause it to be raised with ease, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In. order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referringto the annexed drawing which represents a longitudinal vertical section of my improved pounder or washer. V
A represents the outer shell, B the inner cup and the central tube of my pounder or washer. These may be constructed in any of the known and usual ways. D represents the handle passing through the central tube 0, and having a shoulder, a, turned upon it to bear against the upper end of said tube. The
lower end of the handle D is provided with a .head, d, and between said head and the lower end of the central tube 0 is placed a spiralspring, I).
It will be seen that the head dprojectsbelow the edge of the pounder, so that when the pounder is forced down in a tub or other vessel with clothes, the pounder carries the air down with it, but the head 61, striking the clothes, will be forced up and open the joint at the shoulder a to admit air underneath the plunger or pounder, thus allowing the same to be raised with ease; or, if the handle is not raised by the pressure of the head upon the clothes, the upward movement to raise the pounder will lift the spring b first, and thus admit the air.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In combination with the pounder A, the handle D and spring I), constructed and arranged as and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I hereunto set my hand this 29th day of April, 1873.
LEVI S. ENOS.
