WASHING MACHINE.
` Application filed December T all whom t may concern."
BeV it, known that I,v JOHN J. KOGER, re-V siding at Rogersville, Tennessee, a-citi'zen ofthe United States, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lashing Machines, of which the following is afspeciiication.
My invention relates to clothes washing machines. My object is to effect the i thorough washing or cleansing of clothes without rubbing action which would wear them out or otherwise injure them and with the expenditure of a minimum of effort or power and with expedition. My invention consists in whatever is described by Ior is included within the terms or scope of the appended claims.
In the annexed drawings:
Fig. 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of a washing machine embodying my invention;
Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section. In the embodiment of my invention shown in the drawings, to which however, I do not i restrict my self beyond the requirements of my claims, there is a rectangular box-like tank, 10, which is divided by a partition, 11, into a small compartment, 12, in which the clothes after washing may be placed 'w for boiling or rinsing (there being a wood stove, 13, or other heater beneath the tank) and a large compartment 14, in which the actual washing 'operation is performed. In the large compartment, 14, there are two substantially similar members one a-bove the other when the machine is in operation, the lower one being at or near the bottom of the tank compartment, they being alike in that each consists of a series of cross bars that extend transversely of the tank compartment, the cross bars, 15, of the lower member extending upward from a slatted bottom, 16, and to which they are attached and the cross bars, 17, of the upper member extending downward from a yfslatted top, 18, to which they are attached so that one set of cross bars extends into the spaces between the other set of cross bars with the free edge thereof reaching close to the cross bar supports. The cross bars, 15, of the lower member extend between side bars 16a. The two sets of cross bars lap considerably past one another and as they are spaced a substantial distance apart the clothes to be washed are weaved between them in a zig- 1, 192s. serial No. 677,980.
zag or sinuous course sothatp'ortionsof the clothesrlie between opposing cross bars of the twe setswitlrtheresu'lt'that by reciprocating. Aone or'both sets ofcross bars horizontally the clothesf are pressed or squeezed betweenf themyth'e 'portion' ofclothesv upon one sid'e'iof a given cross-barbeing vfirst pressed between that cross bar and a cross bar of the other' set and then between that cross bar and another cross bar of the other set and by alternate forcing and suction action the portion of clothes between two coacting cross bars has the water forced through and then dra-wn back the portion of clothes being alternately squeezed and loosened so that by both the positive pressure of adjacent cross bars and the flow of water back and forth the dirt is removed from the garments and yet without any wearing or tearing from a rubbing eiect upon the clothes. It will be seen that by having the series of cooperating cross bars the work upon the clothes is subdivided which makes for efficient and rapid cleansing and obviates any objectionable high vertical dimensions of the apparatus.
The lower member at its opposite sides rests upon tracks or rails, 19, on the tank bottom on which it slides or reciprocates and the upper has its slats when clothes are being washed resting upon the clothes upon the top edges of the cross bars, 15, lof the lower member and the two members are moved in opposite directions with reference to one another by connection by means of a link, 20, for the lower member and a link, 21, for the upper member with a vertical lever, 22, pivoted to one end wall of the tank which lever by a pitman, 23, is connected with a crank shaft, 24:, that my be revolved by hand or by power at a suitable rate of speed say four hundred or live hundred revolutions per minute.
When clothes are to be placed in the machine the upper member, of course, is raised out of the tank and the clothes laid across and between the cross bars Iof the lower member and then the upper member is allowed to rest thereon with the necessary pressure to cause its cross bars to press clothes down between the cross bars of the the clothes passing over the top edges of the cross bars of the lower member, the slats forming the top of the upper member will '1 not rest directly upon the lower" member cross bars but upon the clothes between. The upper portion of the ends of the lower member are reticulated such portions consisting of a piece of wireY cloth, Q5, so as to allow ready passage of water.
What I claim is: 1
l. A washing machine comprising two opposing sets 'of spaced bars, the bars of one set extending a substantial distance into spaces between the bars of the other setg'and providing clothes-receiving spaces, the clothes in a space between opposing bars being engaged by the sides of such bars and pressed directly by the side of one bar against the side of the opposing bar, and means for moving the bars of at least Ione of such sets towards and from the bars of the other set.
2*. A washing machine comprising two opposing sets of spaced bars, the'bars of one set extending a substantial distance into spaces between the bars of the other set, and providing clothes-receiving spaces, the clothes in a space between opposing bars being engaged by the sides of such bars and pressed Vdirectly by the side of one bar against the side of the opposing bar and means for simultaneously reciprocating both sets of the bars.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aiix my signature.
J. J. KOGER.
