WASHING MACHINE.
Application filed October 30, 1926. Serial No. 1%,311.
, This inven ion relates to improvements in laundry machinery, and has particular ref erence to a device for pro-washing the collars and cuifs of shirts and like garments.
The principal object of this invention is to provide means whereby a portion ofa garment may be washed previous to the laundrying of the entire garment.
Another obj ect of this invention is to produce a machine wherein a more power ful washing action will take place thanis possible with the ordinary tumbler-type of machine commonly employed in laundries. y
A further object is to provide a machine of this character which is simple in construction and therefore cheap to manufacture.
Gther objects and advantages Wlll be apparent during the course of the following I description.
In the acompanying drawings forming a Figure V is modified form of the clothes holder.
for the purpose of illustration is shown av preferred embodiment of my invention, the
numeral 5 designates a cylinder supported by legs 6 and 7 upon castersS and 9, respectively.
The cylinder 5 has a bottom plate 11 from which depends a receptacle 12 within which the washingfluid is placed. At 13, l have shown a tub having a depending perforated cylinder 14:, which cylinder is of less diameter than the receptacle 12. The tub 13 is preferably formed with cup washers 16 and 17, the purpose of which will be later seen.
At 18 and 19, I have shown rods which vacuum formed in the cylinder.
are secured to the tub 13, which rods are in turn connected by connecting rods 21 and respectively, to crank pins 23 andfi f respectively, carried upon fly wheels 26 and 2?, respectively.
These fly wheels are mounted upon a shaft 28 carried in suitable bearings 29 and 31 mounted upon the frame of the device.
A motor 32 is adapted to transmit motion to the shaft 28 through the medium of a plate passing over a suitable pulley positioned on the shaft.
A clothes engaging disc is employed which consists of plates 34; and 36 hinged as at 3T andso arranged that an openin 33 is pro vidcd between the same. This disc is adapted to lie upon the bottom of the tub 13 in a manner to he hereinafter described.
Referring to'l igure V, the same illustrates a. side 41 correspond to the plates 3 1 and 36. To these plates 39 and 41, are secured semi-circular perforated shell-like members 12 and 4-3 which are hinged to each other as shown at a l and 16.
The manner of operating the device is as follows 1-- The clothes are gathered in such a manner that the collars and cufi's are together, after which the disc is moved toits open position and the clothes are laid between the two sections of the disc so that the collars and cuffs project throu h to one side thereof,
after which the plates 34 and 36 are swung to closed posit-ion as shown in Figure IV.
The clothes and fluid are now placed in the tub so that the cuffs and collars project into the cylinder 14, while the main portion of the clothes remain in the tub and out of the liquid contained in the receptacle. he motor 32 is now started with the result that reciprocating motion is transmitted to the rods 18 and 19, which results in the tub 13 being moved upwardly and downwardly. Upon the upward movement the liquid in the cylinder 12 is drawn out due to the Upon the downward movement of the tub, this liquid is again forced into the cylinder by the pressure set up by the air confined beneath the washer 17.
It is of course understood that this vacuum and pressure are quickly destroyed by the 7 elevation of a modified form of clothes holder wherein the portions 39 and 38 and the clothes contained therein.
through that portion of the Clothes extend ing beneath the plate.
In the modified form shown in Figure V, the plate and shell are fastened together and thereafter the clothes and the shell are inserted in the machine and removed as a unit after which the clothes are pro-washed and transferred to the customary washing machine where the remainder of the garment is given its usual washing.
it is to he understood that the forms of my ii'ivention herewith shown and described are to be taken as preterred example oi. the
same and that various changes relative to the shape, material, size and arrangement of parts may he resorted to without departing lrom the spirit of the invention or the scope of the s'alijoined claims.
l'lav'ing thus described my claim 1. In a washing machine of the character described, a cylinder, a tub adapted to he reciprocated in said cylinder, a lepending portion secured to said tuli and adapted to reciprocate therewith and serving to'accommodate a portion of the clothes positioned within said tub, a fluid holding receptacle invention, I
surrounding said depending portion and ing receptacle, a plate positioned within said tub, said plate having an opening therein adapted to accommodate a portion of the garments placed within said tub and means for reciprocating said tub.
3. In a washing machine of the character described, a cylinder, a tuh adapted to he reciprocated in said cylinder, means for sealing one edge of said tub to said cylinder,
a. fluid receptacle positioned beneath said cylinder and formed integral therewith, a plate positioned within said tub, said plate having an opening therein adapted to accommodate a portion or the garments placed
