IMPROVEMENT IN WASHING-MACHINES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 140,8] 2, dated uly 15, 1873 application filed May 24, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN W. OoNRoY, of Terry, in the county of Hinds and State of Mississippi, haveinvented anew and useful Improvement in Washing-Machines, of which the following is a specification:
Figure 1 is a vertical cross-section of my improved machine taken through the line as 00, Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same taken through the line 3 3 Fig. 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts.
My invention has for its object to furnish an improved washingmachine, simple in construction, convenient in use, and effective in operation washing the clothes quickly and thoroughly, and which may be adjusted to apply any desired amount of pressure. The invention consists in the combination of the jointed rubbing-board, the pivoted bars, the
cross-bar, the adjusting-bolt, the spring, and the corrugated, fluted, or toothed cylinder, with each other and with the box, as hereinafter fully described.
A represents the box or tub of the machine, which is made with a horizontal bottom, vertical ends, and flaring sides, and which is supported upon legs B, of such a length as to raise the machine to a convenient height. 0 is a corrugated, fluted, or toothed cylinder, the journals of which revolve in bearings attached to the upper edges of the ends of the box A. To one of the journals of the cylinder 0 is attached a crank, D, by which it is operated, and to its other journal should be attached a balance-wheel, to give it steadiness of motion. E is the rubbing-board, which is formed by attaching cross-slats to the side bars. The side bars'are curved, as shown in Fig. l, and have two joints formed in them, one directly beneath the cylinder 0, and the other toward the rear side of said cylinder. The forward end of the rubbing-board E is pivoted to the end boards of the box A, close to its forward side, by a rod, F, passing through the said ends and through the forward ends of the side bars of the rubbing-board E. The rear part of the rubbing-board E projects over the rear upper part of the cylinder 0. To the side bars of the rubbing-board E, at or near their rear joints, are pivoted the lower ends of two bars, Gr, the upper ends of which are pivoted to the ends of the cross-bar. H. I is a long bolt, which passes down through the center of the cross-bar H, and has a hand-nut screwed upon its lower end. To the upper end of the bolt I is attached the coiled end of the spring J, which is made in the shape shown in Fig. 1, and its other end is attached to a cross-bar, K, the ends of which are attached to the upper ends of the standards L, the lower ends of which are attached to the ends of the box A.
By this construction, by adjusting the handnut upon the bolt 1, the jointed rubbing-board E may be held up against the'cylinder G with any desired pressure, so that the said cylinder may carry the clothes along the rubbin gboard, and at the same time rub them, thus washing the clothes quickly and thoroughly.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of the jointed rubbingboard E, pivoted bars Gr, crossbar'H, adjusting-bolt I, spring J, and corrugated, fluted, or toothed cylinder 0, with each other and with the box A, substantially as herein shown and described.
JOHN W. OONROY.
