Description
Patented Apr. 29, 1924i.
FRITZ H. GIESECKE, F BRENHA'M, TEXAS.
WASH-Boem). l
Application tiled November 5, 1920, Serial No. 421,833. Renewed February 23, 1924.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRITZ H. GIESECKE,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Brenham, in the county of Washington and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful improvements in a ``Washboard, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a washboard.
One object of the invention is to provide a washboard constructed, in the main, of sheet metal, and which will be very durable.
Another object of the invention is to produce a washboard whiehis of simple construction and which may be cheaply and easily manufactured.
With the above and other objects in view the invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction and use, an example of which is given in this'specifh cation and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:-
Figure 1 shows a side view of the device. gigure 2 shows a vertical sectional view, an
Figure 3 shows' a horizontal sectional view.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, the numerals l, 1 refer to the side members of the frame and the numeral 2 designates the top thereof, these parts being sheet metal and tubular in form. Around the'innery sides of the frame members l, l and 2 the material thereofis thrown out forming parallel ribs 3, 3 and 4, 4.
A single sheet of metal 5 has its upper end fitted between the ribs 4, 4 and its edges fitted between the corresponding ribs 3, 3, said sheet being clamped between said ribs and by them held in place. Near its upper end this sheet has a double fold, the folds of metal being brought closely together, thus forming the ledges 6, 6 projectingtout in opposite directions and forming soap shelves or retainers. Beneath these ledges the sheet 5 is transversely corrugated and its lower end is bent into tubular form around the transverse anchor rod 7, whose ends are anchored to the side members of the frame. This tubular part of said sheet has drain ports 8 to drain the water therefrom Aand prevent rusting when the board is not inuse.
What I claim is:
A washboard, including a frame having a top and side members formed of sheet metal,tubular in form, parallel ribs spaced apart extending entirely around the inner sides of the frame and thrown out from the material thereof, a transverse anchor rod secured at its ends to said side members, a single sheet of metal whose corresponding edges are fitted between said ribs and are clamped by them to secure said sheet in place, said sheet being formed near its upper edge with a double fold forming ledges which project out in opposite directions and the lower edge of said sheet being bent around said anchor rod and provided with drain ports, the portion of the sheet between said anchor rodA and` said ledges being transversely corrugated, andremovable wooden legs inserted into the lower ends of said tubular side members.
In testimony whereof l have signed my name toithis specification in the presence Witnesses:
W. J. SLOAN, G. A. KUNKEL.
