WASHING MACHINE.
Original application filed July 14, 1925, Serial No. 43,586. Divided and this application filed October 20,
- 1925. Serial No. 63,633.
This invention relates to washing inachines and has for its object a particularly simple and efficient construction by which the capacity of the machine is incrcasml without changing or renewing the cleansing fluid, rinsing fluid or other fluids used in washing and by which the size of the inachine is not increased in order to increase the capacity.
This application is a divisional of my application Sr. No. 43,586, filed July 14, 192E The invention consists in the novel features and in the combinations and constructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In describing this invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawings in which like characters designate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view of amzrchine embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is a plan view of parts seen in Figure 1.
I Figure- 3 is a fragmentary detail View of 2c the valve mechanism for this machine.
This machine comprises generally a tub having a plurality of compartments for different fluids as a washing fluid and a rinsing fluid, a. clothes container or basket and means for establishing communication to and from the container to any one ofthe compartments of the tub.
in the drawings, I have shown my invention as applied to that type of machine in as which the clothes container or basket 1 always remains in an upright position and the cleansing fluid is pumped into the said basket from the lower part of the tub 2, the clothes are then washed by means of an agi- 4c ta'tor as 3 or any other well known means.
After the clothes are washed, the basket '1 is revolved to remove the cleansing fluid through openings 4 in the upper portion thereof. 46 As here illustrated, I have provided the lower portion of the tub 2 with a plurality of compartments for the diflerent fluids, as for instance, a cleansing fluid and a rinsing or blueing fluid, by means of the partition 5, '50 and the upper portion of the tub containing the basket is preferably separated from the lower 'ortion thereof, which contains the fluids, by means of a partition comprising the receiver or drain trough 6 extending "valve 16 and a coiled to the other endof said lever and to thearound the inside of the tub 2 at the top of the partition 5 and a cover 7 fitting over the inner edge of said trough and provided with a passage 8 for the standard 9 of the clothes container'or basket. The basket 1 is removable from the standard 9 allowing the cover 7 to be removed for cleaning the compartments in the lower portion of the tub.
10 and 11 are valve controlled inlets for the fluids returning to-the compartments and 12 and 13 are valve controlled outlets for the fluid containing compartments and are connected to the pump 14 by means of which the fluids are forced through the nozzle 15 into the basket 1.
16, 17, 18 and 19 are the valves for controlling the flow of the fluids through the valve openings 1Q, 11, 12 and 13 and said valves are operated by means of the rod 20 connected to the valve 18. Each valve is provided with a stem suitably supported in a bearing fixed to the tub and the inlet valve 16 is connected to the inlet valve 17 to close the valve 17 when the valve 16 is opened and .to open the valve 17 when the valve 16 is closed by means of the lever 21 pivotally mounted in the partition 5 by a watertight joint and connected to the stems of said valves by a pin and slot connection.
The" valve 18 is so connected to the valve 16 that it will open when'said valve 16 is opened and will close when said valve is closed .by means of the lazy -tong levers 22 pivotally mounted on a fixed pivot 23 and connected to the stems of said valves at 24 and 25. 7
The valves 17 and 19 are similarly connected by lazy-tong levers 26. 1
Obviously, in this construction, when the rod 20 is pul ed upwardly, the valves 16 and 18 in one compartment are closed and the valves 17 and 19 in the other compartment are opened, and when the rod is moved in the reversedirection, the reverse takes place.
The valves are all held in their opened or closed positions by means of a lever 27 pivoted at 28 and having one end connected by a pin and slot connection to the stem of the spring 29 connected partition 5.
What I claim is:
1. In a washing machine, the combination 7 of a vertically arranged tub having a plurality of compartments for different fluids in the-lower end thereof, a clothes container arranged in the tub above the compartments and arranged to rotate about a vertical axis,
means for rotating it about a vertical axis,
a partition arranged in the tub between the container and the compartments comprising a trough extending inwardly from the side of the tub, and a cover coacting with the inner edge of said trough, means forforcing the fluid from any one of the compartments into the clothes container, and valves in said trough operable to control the flow of the fluid from the container back into the compartment from which it came.
2 In a washing machine, the combination of a vertically arranged tub having the lower end thereof provided with a partition forming compartments for different fluids, a clothes container in the upper portion of said tub mounted to rotate about a vertical axis, means for rotating the clothes container, means for establishingcommunication between any one of the compartments and the container comprising a circulating pump having inlets into th e compartments and an outlet into the container, outlet .to receive the fluid from the container, valves in said trough operable to control the flow of the fluid from the trough back into the compartment from which it came, the latter valves being paired with the outlet valves in the compartments, and means for operating all of said valves simultaneously com-- prising a member movable in one direction to open the inlet and the outlet valves of one of the compartments and closing said valves of the other compartment, and movement of the member in the opposite directions opens the closed valves and closes the open valves.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name, at Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, in the Stateof New York, this 13th day of October,1925.
