IMPROVEMENT IN WASHING-MACHINES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 163,317, dated May 18,1875; application filed March 11, 1875.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MICHAEL JoNEs, of Des Moines, in the county of Polk and State of Iowa, have invented an Improved Washing- Machine, of which the following is a specification:
My invention consists in mounting and cornbining two wash-boards with a tub and driving mechanism in such a manner that clothing will be automatically rubbed between the boards, as hereinafter fully set forth.
My drawing is a perspective view, illustrating the construction and operation of my invention.
A A represent an oblong frame, that may vary in size, as desired. B B is a tub, conforming in shape with the frame A, in which it is inclosed and supported. O is an auxiliary oblong frame, mounted upon the frame A in such a manner that its one end will rest in the end of the tub B, and its opposite end remain elevated over the tub. a is a wash-board rigidly fixed in the frame O. b is a movable section of a Wash-board, which has its bearings in the frame C, and moves to and from the fixed board a, to allow clothing to pass down between the two boards a and b. Suitable springs and levers can be used for operating the movable board b. cis a iluted roller, mounted immediately under the lower end of the fixed board a, on bearin gs attached to the frame O. d d are half-sections of wash-boards, mounted ina suitable slidingframe, f f,'in such a manner that they will move back and forth over the boards c and b, to rub clothing introduced between the boards. g g are rollers mounted upon bearings attached to the frame ff, in such a manner that clothing can be fed through them, and passed between the boards cl d to reach the boards a b. D is a drivingwheel, rigidly ixed on the shaft E, which has its bearings on the frame A. h is a gearwheel rigidly fixed on the same shaft E. m is a pinion on the shaft n, mounted above the shaft E in bearings attached to the frame A. jp is a crank-wheel on the end of the shaft a. T is a pitman, pivoted to the crank-wheel p and the sliding frame ff, to impart a reciprocating motion to the wash-board d d.
To operate my washing-machine, feed and pass the clothing through the rollers g g and boards d d. Operate the driving mechanism to cause the frame ff to slide up and down, and rub the clothing between the boards d d and a b until clean. To pass the clothing into the water in the tub B, move the board section I) away from the fixed section la sufficiently to allow the clothing to pass between them and to rest against the roller c, which can be turned to draw the clothing down.
I am aware that a reciprocating motion has been imparted to a wash-board to rub clothing on a stationary board; but my manner of combining a sliding frame to carry a washboard and a stationary frame, having an adjustable wash-board and a uted roller, is new and advantageous.
I claim as my invention-` In a Washing-machine, the stationary frame C, having a xed wash-board, a, and an adjustable section, b, and a roller, c, in combination with a sliding frame, f f1 carrying washboard sections d d and rollers g g, substantially as and for the purposes shown and described.
