Description
Patented Aug. 5, 1930 PATNE FEQE HORACE W. THOMPSON, OF CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO LOVIELL MANU- FAGTU'RING COMPANY, OF ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORATION OF PENNSYL- VANIA WRINGER Application filed April 12,
This invention is designed to improve clothes wringers provided with quick-release devices. Such devices have commonly been supplied with some sort of a handle by means of which the release might be operated. These handles have been arranged so thatin set position they were parallel with the wringer. As a consequence in order to save expense the wringers have been shipped with the release device in set'position and in the ordinary use of the wringers in order to reduce the space occupied by the wringer it has been common for the operator to leave, or swing the release handle into position parallel with the wringer top.
The result of this is to place the wringer roll when not in use, or during shipping under strain along one localized line at which the wringer is stopped. Inasmuch as these wringers may be in stock for some time it leaves some impression on the roll.
According to the present invention the handle of the release device is arranged in set position crosswise of the wringer frame and is in release position when the handle is swung parallel of the frame. In this way the wringer fully assembled may be shipped with the handle occupying the most limited space without putting the rolls under tension during this period and the operator in using the wringer ordinarily swings the handle to parallel position and thus will leave the rolls without strain between periods of use. Features and details of the invention will appear from the specification and claim.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings as follows:
Fig. 1 shows a front elevation, partly in section, of a wringer.
Fig. 2 a section on the line 22 in Fig. 1, the parts being enlarged.
Fig. 3 a section on the line 3-3 in Fig. 2.
Fig. 1 a detached view of one of the fittings.
1 marks the wringer frame, and 2 and 3 the bottom and top rolls respectively. Bearings 4 and 5 are provided for shafts 6 and 7 of the rolls 2 and 3 respectively. It will be understood that similar bearings are arranged in the opposite ends of the rolls. The
1928. Serial N0. 269,368.
upper bearings 5 are slidably mounted in side stiles 8 and a spring 9 rests on these bearings. The top bar 10 connects the side stiles. A release fitting 11 is secured at the center of this cross bar. It has a central opening 12, slots 13 extending axially through it and-cams 14:
leading from the slots 13 to positions at 90 from the slots.
A pin 15 is secured in a spring seat 16, this. seat being secured to the center of the pin.
Fi vu as shown in the drawings, the shoulders 19 are swung to a position at 90 from the slots 18 and operating on the cams 14c put tension on the rolls. When the handle is swung to a position parallel to the frame the shoulders 19 are brought into register with the slots 13 thus permitting an upward movement of the sleeve 18 and with it the spring 9, thus relieving pressure on the rolls. 7
The general plan of this release device is illustrated in the reissue patent to Misner, #515,865, June 21th, 1924:.
Nhat I claim as new is In a wringer, the combination of a frame having a top bar; rolls in the frame; a tension spring arranged under the top bar and having its ends exerting pressure on the rolls; and a quick releasing device for the tension means comprising a handle extending crosswise of the top when in set position and swinging toward a position parallel to the top to release the tension means, said swinging motion permitting the handle to be brought into parallel with the top bar.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
HORACE W. THOMPSON.
