UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIcE.
BENJAMIN SMITH, OF VEST MILTON, NEXV YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN CLOTHES-WRINGERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 153,182, dated July '21, 1874; application filed June 21, 1873.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, BENJAMIN SMITH, of est Milton, Saratoga county and State of New York, have invented certain Improvements in Olothes-lvringers, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to that class of clotheswringers in which the rollers are governed by flat leaf-springs adj ustably secured at one end to the wringer-frame, and hearing at the other end upon the axis of the rollers. Heretofore, in this class of wringers, the axis of the feedroller, as well as that of the presser-roller, has been held in place by means of the plate-sprin g. This construction has proved defective, in that it permits the feed-roller to be wrenched from its position when thick or heavy materials are passing between the rollers. To obviate this is the object of my invention; and it consists in arranging the bearings of the feed-roller in the frame-pieces, and applying the spring only to the axis of the pressing-roller.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view, and Fig. 2 a plan, of my improved wringer. Y
a a are the base pieces, upon which the several parts are assembled, and in rear or underneath which are attached the ordinary clamps for securing the wringer to the tub. Upon the top of the base-pieces are secured the leaf-springs ff. These springs are of metal, and are made flat and straight, and of sufficient length and strength, one end of each being hooked to carry the projecting shaft of the pressing-roller c, and the other end of each secured to the base-pieces, in which is journaled the axis of the feeding-roller (1. Upon the end of these base-pieces I secure the guides g g, in such mannerthat they cover the ends of the rollers. An apron, Z), generally of wood, unites the two base-pieces a a firmly together, and is made of sufficient width to secure the passage of clothes from between the rollers to the tub.
It will be observed that by the use of these flat straight sprin gs f f constructed as shown, and secured to the base-pieces, as described, the pressing-roller 6 will recede from the roller 6 so nearly in a vertical direction without any guide or slot for its axis, that the relative positions of the rollers and frame will remain substantially unchanged, thereby obviating the difficulty arising from the oscillation of the rollers.
The tension of the springs is easily regulated by the set-screw, but the springs being made broad and straight little or no change is required in the tension, and the liability to set is obviated.
It will also be observed that by journaling the axis of the roller 01 in the base-pieces a a, the displacement of said roller (when in use) with respect to its bearings, is prevented.
I do not claim as my invention a spring made of metal or other material, with a curved end to hold the pressing-roller, nor do I claim the guards; but I Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
In a clotheswringer, having base-pieces a a, apron b, and guards g g, the presser-roller e, governed by flat leaf-springs f f, adjustaby secured to the frame, in combination with the feed-roller (Z, journaled in said base-pieces, as and for the purposes specified.
