B. ORTELL. WASHBOILER ATTACHMENT.-, APPLICATION FILED APR.27, 1921.

UNITED STATES BEBTHA ORTELL, or sr. PAUL, Mmnnsorn.
WASHIBOILER ATTACHMENT.
Specification of Letters Patent. Pate ted A 4 1922 1 Application filed April 27, 1921. Serial No. 464,843.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that BERTHA On'rnLL, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful llvashboiler Attachment, of which the fol lowing is a specification.
My invention relates to wash-boiler attachments, and the object is to provide a wash boiler with a skeleton attachment for holding cakes or other pieces of soap near the bottom of the boiler and passing therethrough a current of hot water upwardly through and from the soap and thereby dissolving the soap and causing it to get thoroughly distributed into the clothes placed in the boiler.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is 'a top view of a wash boiler with its cover omitted and my device placed upon its bottom.
Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the device only.
Fig. 8 is an enlarged section on the line 3-3 in Fig. 2.
Fig. 4: is a cross section on line 1-4: in Figs. 2 and 3 with the soap 15 omitted.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged end portion of Fig. 4.
Referring to the drawing by reference numerals, 6 designates an ordinary wash boiler. Upon its bottom 7 I place a false bottom 8, which is slightly smaller than the real bottom 7 on which it rests. Saidfalse bottom is arched or convexed from its edge upwardly to its'top, and the latter is provided with an aperture 9 having its edge 10 re-in'forced. Said aperture is guarded by two crossing arches 1112 having their legs secured in the false bottom near beyond the aperture. The end portions of the false bottom are formed with upwardly pressed. ridges 13 which produce grooves 14.- at the under side of the bottom for water to circulate through and in between the two bottoms.
A soap receptacle 15 is made of coarse wire cloth, is open at the end 16 but closed at end 17 and at both sides 18, 19. Said soap holder is removably held in central position in the false bottom by two heavy metal strips 20 which are suitably secured to the soap holder and have their ends bent over upon the doubled edge 21 of the false bottom 8 in the manner best shown in Fig. the end portion of each strip being doubled at 22 to make them strong and to present a looped end 23 so rounded that it cannot injure the clothes when they are stirred by a stick in the usual manner. A sheet metal strip 24 extends from end to end of the false bottom and has its ends 22 secured in the manner already described about 20, 22 and 23 in Fig. 5. The strips 20 and 2 1 serve not only to hold the soap holder in place but serve also to brace the false bottom against spreading out flat upon the real bottom 7.
The guarding bails l1-12 serve also as finger hold in handling the attachment to place it in the boiler or to remove it therefrom.
In the use or operation of the device the soap bars need not be cut into thin slices as is the old method, the bars or cakes or remnants or bars of soap are simply placed in the holder 15 through the opening 16; the bottom 8 is then placed in the boiler the finest clothes are then put in and the coarser or simpler or more dirty clothes put on top of them and water poured in and the boiling started. As the water boils it circulates downward near the sides and ends of the boiler, is drawn inward through the grooves or ducts 14 and after passing through the soap it passes upward through the aperture 9 and spreads upwardly through the clothes.
In the use of ordinary wash boilers the bottom of the boiler is usually so black that it stains the clothes and for that reason the most soiled clothes are placed near the bottom and in the process of boiling the dirt is thus driven upward from the bottom and the soiled clothes into the finer clothes higher up in the boiler while as already stated the finest clothes are kept away from the dirt by being always separated from the real bottom of the boiler and all dirt and sediment from the dirty clothes passes down under the false bottom where it settles upon the main bottom until the boiler is being cleaned after the washing is done. To insure such lodging of the dirt on the lower bottom the water current between the bottoms is retarded by giving the water less outlet at 9 than inlets at 143.
What I claim is:
1. The combination with a wash boiler of a false bottom adapted to rest with its edges upon the bottom of the boiler, said false bottom being convexed and having water inlets at its edges and an aperture in the middle of the false bottom, a skeletoned soap holder secured to said false bottom aml havinga lateral inlet for the soap. 2. The structure specified in claim 1, and flat metallic brace bars across the under: side of the false bottom and attached to the soap flat burs having their ends each doubled 10 holder, the ends of the bars being secured upon itself and said doubled portion formed to the edges of the false bottom. into" a' 'claspinghook deta'chably engaged 3. The structure specified in uelaimfi and over the outer edge of the false bottom, the 5 a longitudinal flat metal bar extending cenextreme end of each hook being rounded and trally along thelunder side of the false botblunt by the bend of the metal in doubling iit 15 tommndhavingdts ends attached to "the In testimony whereof I affix mysignature.
ends thereof.
4. The structure specified in claim 3, said BERTHA ()RTELL.
