IMPROVEMENT IN WASHING-MACHNES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 183,289, dated October 17, 1876; application tiled July 31, 1876.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GoLLINs FITCH, of Garnettsville, in the county of Mead and State ot' Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Clothes Washing lVIachine,l
ot' which the following is a specification:
Figure lis a vertical longitudinal section oi' my improved machine, taken through the line a: fr, Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same.
Similar letters of reference indica-te corresponding parts.
The object of this invention isto furnish an improved machine for washing clothes, which shall be simple in construction, convenient in use, easily operated, et'ective in operation, washing the clothes quickly, thoroughly, and Without injuring them, and which will work equally well whether operating upon many or few clothes.
The invention consists in the combination ofthe hinged arms, the cross-bar, the keeper, the lever, and the rock-shaft, with the movable rubber and with the ends-box, as hereinafter fully described.
A is the frame of the machine, to the upper part ot' which is attached thesuds-box B'. The suds-box Bis made with a flat bottom, vertical sides, and inclined or daring ends. In the box B is placed the lower or stationary rubber, called by me a hurdle, and which is formed by securing the ends of a series of cross-slats, C, between the curved edges of two pairs of boards, D E. The hurdle C D E is made of such a size as to it into the sudsbox B, and the cross-slats C are so arranged as to leave narrow spaces between them for the Water to pass through, and so that the dirt may settle in the bottom ofthe suds-box B beneath the said hurdle() D E. rIhe upper or movable rubber is formed by pivoting a series of rollers, F, to and between the side boards G, which are connected and held in position by cross boards or blocks H. The lower side ot' the rubber F G H is made convex to lit into the coneavity of the hurdle C D E. To one side of the middle cross bar or block H are hinged the ends of two arms, I, the other ends of which are attached to the end parts of a cross-bar, J. To the outer side ofthe center ot' the cross-bar J isattached a keeper, K, through which passes a lever, L. The lever L is pivoted in and to the keeper K by a pin, k', and its lower end is attached to a roller or rock-shaft, M, the ends of which are pivoted to arms N attached to the ends of the side boards of the ends-box B. By this .construction the rubber F Gr H is moved back and forth upon the clothes interposed between it and the hurdle C D E by operating the lever L, the hinges of the arms I enabling the rubber to adjust itself according to the amount of clothes being washed. To putin and take out the clothes vthe lever L is moved outward, drawing the rubber F G H as far as it will go. rIhe further end ot' the rubber F Gr His then raised by means of a loop or other handle, h', attached to the end cross-bar H, and a rod is placed beneath it, resting upon the side boards ot' the suds-box B, where itis kept in place by pins b attached to the upper edges of said side boards.
Having thus describfmyinvention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of the hinged arms I, the cross-bar J, the keeper K, the lever L, and the rockshaft M, with the movable rubber F G H and with the ends-box A, substantially as herein showband described.
June 19, 1876.
