* STATE 'SAMUEL E- LEIGH, or CHEROKEE, KANSAS.
IMPROVEMENT IN WASHING-MACHINES.
Specification forming part of LettersPatent No. 188,382, dated March 13, 1877; application filed November 17, 1876.
'[0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL E. LEIGH, of the city of Cherokee, county of Crawford, and
btate of Kansas, have invented an Improve-- and operation.
I construct the box (an oblong square) of wood, which has the machinery attached and inclosed in the same. The machinery consists of the main shaft A, with cog-wheels B, according to Figure 1. G is a paddle-wheel with pinion, run by cog-wheel on main shaft, according to Fig. l. l) is a revolving cylinder, made of wood, wire, and iron, run, from pulley attached to main shaft, by belt a, Fig. 2. The machine is moved by a crank-wheel attached to main shaft.
The operation is as follows: The clothes are put into the cylinder, and, when the machinery is put in motion, the paddle-Wheel forces wa ter through the wires of the cylinder upon the clothes, that are carefully turned over by a slow revolution of the cylinder.
The paddle-Wheel, Fig. 1, consists of a shaft, F, resting in bearings secured to the box inclosing the machine. This shaft runs the entire length of the Wheel, and one end, projecting beyond the box, is connected to the gearing by pinion. Eight arms, four near either end, extend from this shaft, at equal distance from each other. At the extremities of these arms I) paddles 0' are attached, made of either Wood or any suitable metal, and
fastened to the arms by either screws or bolts.-
Thecylinder D consists and is constructed of two circular heads of wood, d d. Upon the center of these heads two iron plates are fastened. From the center of each an iron pin pro jects, and rests upon bearings secured to the of the cylinder is fastened by hinges, so as to I be opened to admit and remove the articles to be washed. This section or door is secured by any suitable fastening so as to remain closed while the machine is in operation.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination of the box Gr and gearing B, with the paddle-wheel G and cylinder D,-
having pulleys E and F, and cord a, substantially as andfor the purpose specified.
