. H. W. LANDWEHR WASHING MACHINE Filed August 10 1925 machine as in any eylinder typ'eoscillation washing mzichine bafiles being provided by the inwardly extending flanges 01' legs 4 0f the bare 4. Vhen it is desired 130 c1ean the machine, the water may be drained from the containerl by opening the valve ab 12 ab the 10wer part 0:E the c0n- .tainer. The segmental sections mounted 0n the frame 0f the eylindepare released and removed, the open frari1e 1eft being easily worked through t0 complete .the eleaning and washingout of the coutainer. Ea'ch seetion is comparatively light und ea.sy t0 detach and remove 01' rep11ce. An-d when remowd ehe open frame 1eft does not interpose any Obstacle t0 the access to the bottom of the eontainer 1 in whieh it is mounted.

This constructi0n of cylinder f0: washing machines is very praetical and useful and has proved its va1e in aet'ual pructice. Va .1ious changesinminor detail of construc- Ycion rhay be resorted to without departing fro1n the invention define'd inthe clui.ms appended hereto, und it is tobe considered that the invention c0mpr ahends all such changes in structure th'at cnme within the seid Claims.
