' and air in the inside of the machine so as thoroughly to cleanse the fabric within a minimum period of time; to provide mproved means for attaching the cellular member in operative position in the machine; and, in general to provide a tilting washer having the new and improved features of construction and arrangement hereinafter more particularly described.
In some respects this invention relates to United States Patent 1,574,488, issued February '23, 1926. An outstanding characteristic of this invention'resides in inclining portions of the cellular'members in opposite directions and preferably these portions are inclined in the direction of the water passage when tilted in one direction, or the other. The advantage of this arrange,- ment is apparent in that the water flow is facilitated from one side of the washer to the other and by efiecting a more facile flow the washing operation is made more eflicient because the machine may be tilted from side to side more rapidly and consequently the rate of blowing and sucking operations are increased.
Another cardinal feature of the invention consists in the provision of means fordetachably connecting the cellular members within the washer. Preferably a' plurality of members are employed and each may be conveniently removed .for purposes of .cleansing or for other reasons. Furthermore, it is contemplated to so form the bott0m wall of the container in such a manner' that 'the cells are of uniform length so that the several cells will be equally effective.
- The inventionis shown by way of illus- 't-ration in the accompanying drawings, in
which: a
Fig, l-i'i ta'transverse sectional new of washing'machine embodying my inventlon;
is a section onthe line gand Figure 3. is an enlarged section on the line 3- -3 of Figure 1.
.The illustrated embodiment of the invention comprises a container *1 having an opening 2' extending across the top of the container and this opening is closed by a cap 3; The fabric to be washed may be placed in and removed from the container through the opening 2. The bottom wall 4 of the container is preferably rounded in the manner shown for a purpose hereinafter described.
The container is supported on a standard .5 which is connected to arms (3 on the containerby a stub shaft 7 at a point below the middle part of the container 1. The stub shaft 7 may be oscillated by any suitable or referred means. L Exten ing across the container 1 in the region of the bottom wall 4 and spaced a slight distance therefrom is a wedge shaped spacer member 8 of sheet metal such as galvanized iron," and the opposite ends of the spacer 8 may be connected to the side walls of the container in any suitable manner.
Arranged within the container I and engagin the opposite sides 'of the spacer 8 are be lular members 9 and 10 which incline in opposite directions from the spacer. It will be seen that each cellular'memb'er 9 is made up of vertically disposed inclined side walls 11 and, in this instance the top wal 12 is tapered to a point so that the top of each cellular member forms a corrugated surface. The inner or bottom ends of the cellular member are open, and the upper ends are formed with perforations 18; The "*open inner or bottom ends are spaced a slight distance from the bottom wall of the container .thereby providing passage orchannel '14.
By inclining the cellular members in opposite directions and curving the bottom wall 4 of the container after the manner indicated on the drawings, it will be noted that the cells are of substantially the same length throughout, so that effectiveness of container 1 and arranged in vertically dis posed relation are plates '15 which are spaced from the side walls and maybe connected by any suitable meansto the inside pf the v container. These plates are provided withperforations 16 and the lower ends engage the adjacent cell to assist in holding the cellular members in position. Each cellular member may be removed from the container byslightly compressing the structure so as to clear the loweredge of the adjacent plate 16 and then by lifting upwardly the structure may be separated from its holding means.
lVhen the container is tilted about the axis of the stub shaft 7, the water moves along the top of the cellular members, is thrown toward the opposite side and dashes on to the top of the fabric material as will readily be understood. This movement of the container carries the bulk of the water 'in the channel 14 and cells from one end of the container to the other end.
This action draws the mist or vapor forn'ied by the dashing water within the container 1 through the fabric and particularly the material in contact with the cellular member which is in upwardly tilted position. On-the return of the container the mist and air which were sucked or drawn into the cellular member are forced seen that oscillation of the container back and forth throws practically all the water from the channel 14. and this creates an alternate drawing inandforcing out of mist,
water and air which thoroughly and efliciently cleans the material within the container.
lVhile the form of mechanism here shown and describedis admirably adapted to fulfill the objects primarily stated, it is to be understood that itis not intended to conline the invention to the one form ofembodiment herein disclosed, for it is suscepof a plurality of cells having open lower ends spaced from the bottom of said cpntainer thereby providing a channel and having openings in the upper ends of the cells,
the-cells on one side of the container beinginclined in one direction /from the vertical plane of the container and the cells on the opposite side being inclined in the opposite direction.
2. In atilting fabric washing machine, a
and having openings in the upper ends of v the cells, the cells being inclined in different directions from the center of the container, and a spacer member disposed between said differently inclined cellular members.
at. Ina tilting fabric washing machine, a container, a plurality of removable cellular members each having a plurality of cells formed with open lower ends spaced from the bottom of said container thereby providing a channel and having openings in the upper ends of the cells, the cells being inclined in'opposite directions from the center of the container, a spacer member between said oppositely inclined cellular members and a perforated plate extending across said containerat opposite sides thereof and engaging the upper portions of adjacent cellular members for holding the latter in position. v
5. In a tilting fabric washing machine, a container, a plurality of removable cellular members having a corrugated top and consisting of a pluralityv ofcells having op en lower ends spaced from the bottom-of the container thereby providing a channel and having openings in the upper ends of the cells, a wedge shaped spacer in the central portion of the container having oppositely inclined sides, the cells being inclined in opposite directions from'opposite sides of said spacer,and a pefora'ted plate extending across each side of said container and engaging upper portions of the adjacent cellular members for holding the latter in position.
6. In a tilting fabric washing machine, a c,ontainer,cellular means having a plurality of cells formed with open lower ends spaced from the bottom of said container to provide a'co'mmon channel and also formed with openings in the upper ends, said ccllzular.
means being spaced at opposite ends from' the ad acent s des of thecontamer to enable the liquid tofiow freely to and from said channel, and means for holding said cellular meansin position.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name to this specification.
