May 17, 1932. J. H. JOHNSTON WASHER Filed July 14, 1931 INVENTOR McZZ//z 5 7a ATTORNEY Patented May 17, 1932 UNITED STATES JOSEPH I-I. JOHNSTON, OF FORT ANGELES, WASHINGTON WASHER Application filed July 14,
This invention relates to a washing machine designed more particularly for the effective cleaning of infants diapers, and constructed with a view to supporting the diaper in position to permit it to be readily and conveniently cleaned with a minimum of time and labor.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of an element placed in a tub or container on which the diaper may be conveniently supported in flat position to permit it to be thoroughly cleansed by the application of a stream of water or the like from a hose or other nozzle.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a broken perspective view illustrating the improvement.
Figure 2 is a sectional perspective view showing the supporting plate of the improvement.
Figure 3 is a broken perspective view showing the means for removably connecting the diaper to the supporting plate.
Figure 41 is a detail view of the spring hinge between the plate and apron.
Fig. 5 is a detail central vertical section through the plate and the holding means.
The improved attachment comprises a plate 1, the edges of which are downturned at 2 for reinforcing the flanges, the rear edge of the plate being provided with depending legs 3 which may be integral with the plate, as illustrated, or obviously independently provided and connected therewith if desired. The plate is provided with a metallic apron 4: projecting from the upper edge thereof and rearwardly curved, the connection between the apron and plate being preferably in the form of spring hinges 5, as shown. The hinges are of such character as to normally influence the apron to assume the position indicated in dotted lines in Figure 1, as indicated at 7 The plate 1, which has a surface area somewhat larger than the diaper indicated at 15, is provided with means for holding the upper edge of the diaper on the plate, such means including a wear section 8 having inturned ends 9 and 10 rotatably supported in eyes 1931. Serial No. 550,741.
shown as of convolute form in a plane at right angles to the plane of the plate to thereby present a plurality of rounded points 14. to rest on the diaper.
The holding means is held in clamping relation to the plate by a spring 16 coiled about one of the inturned sections of the clamping means, as 10, with one end of the spring 17 seated in an opening 18 in the plate and the other end engaged with the clamping means at 19. The provision of'the holding section of the clamp to provide a plurality of spaced rounded studs formed by the convolutions to engage the diaper insures that practically all of the surface of the diaper will be reached by the cleansing fluid.
In applied position, as indicated in Figure 1, the apron, and more particularly the rounded free edge thereof, is engaged with the edge of a suitable tub or container 6, in which position the plate 1 rests within the container, with the lower ends of the legs 3 resting on the bottom of the container. The relation of the parts is such that when in this position the plate 1 is inclined with respect to the vertical and its lower edge its supported wholly above the bottom of the container, this distance being indicated by the arrow 1a in Figure 1. The diaper is now held in flat position on the plate 1, the upper edge being The I secured beneath the clamping section 13 of the clamp.
Means are provided for delivering a stream of water over the exposed surface of the diaper such, for example, as through a hose 20 having a nozzle 21 and a manually controlled valve, governed by a lever 22, so that the force of the tub the lower edge of the diaper, which is normally above the lower edge of the plate, is entirely free of any refuse water or other collection in the tub.
I claim 1. An attachment for washing tubs, comprising an inclined plate from the upper edge of which depends supporting legs to hold the lower edge of the plate above the bottom of the wash tub, a curved apron hinged to the upper edge of the attachment forming a continuation of the plate to overlie and engage the upper edge of the wash tub, a spring between the plate and the apron to normally turn the apron inwardly towards the plate, and means on the plate for clamping an article to be washed.
2. A Washing attachment, comprising a plate, a clamping element pivotally mounted on the plate, including a rod bent to form inturned ends and a transverse portion, the transverse portion being bent to provide a series of vertically disposed convolutions, the spaces between the convolutions affording passages for the flow of fluid over an article clamped on the plate, the lower edges. of which cooperate with the plate to clamp an article being washed, eyes on the plate to receive the inturned ends of the rod, and a spring mounted on one of the inturned ends, one end of the spring engaging the rod and the opposite end engaging the plate.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
JOSEPH I-I. JOHNSTON.
