Patented Dec. 27, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFF-ICE NATHANIEL B. WALES AND CHARLES ROBERTS, 01 NEW YORK, N. Y. ASSIGNORS TO HARRY BOHN, OF DAYTON, OHIO, TRUSTEE WASHING LIAGHINE RE'ISSUED Application filed April 7, 1927, Serial No. 181,836. Renewed January 7, 1982.

The invention relates generally to washing machines of the portable, domestic type and adapted more particularly for household use.

A general object of the invention is to provide a washing machine in which the various operations involved in the washing of the articles retained therein may be automatically performed, that is to say, the-invention contemplates the provision of means whereby, on the washing receptacles being started, the sameis automatically filled with soap water, and the agitating means operated therein for a predetermined time; whereupon mechanism for efiecting a centrifugal action is brought into operation to carry ofl the surface scum and soap Water as and while the latter is being drained off, thereby obviating deposit of such scum and soap water on the articles contained in the washing receptacle. The said receptacle is then again filled, automatically, with rinsing water; whereupon the agitating means are once more brought into action to rinse the wash thoroughly; the rinsing water is automatically drained off after a predetermined period; and the wash sub jected to a centrifugal drying action, the machine ccming to a complete stop after a predetermined period of drying.

Another feature of the invention resides in the provision of one major control for the machine and so arranged that it will adapt itself to any individual operation in the complete sequence of operations as carried out in the cycle and whereby, also, the time of a cycle of operations may be varied as desired.

A further important feature of the invention resides in the provision of two tubs below the washing tub, the one containing soap water and the other rinsing water, and affording a construction allowing of convenient manual cleaning of the said tubs so that they may be kept in sanitary condition without any alteration or dismantling of the washing machine proper becoming necessary.

The invention has for its object, furthermore, to carry out these various features in the simplest mechanical structure which is coordinated into an assembly of pleasing appearance.

A particular feature of the invention resides in the utilization of centrifugal force to throw off the scum and sediment floating on the surfaceof the washing water during the lowering of the same in the washing tub or receptacle as it is being drained into a tub or reservoir located below the washing receptacle. This is effected by the centrifugal force brought into play by the rotation at high veloclty of the washing receptacle, located within the washing tub, carrying the light floating scum and films to the outer periphery of the washing receptacle and projecting the same through perforations provided therein and thus disposing of the objectionable foreign matter beyond the zone of washing.

Other features of the invention will be hereinafter referred to.

Referring to the drawings for a more detailed description of the invention, reference being had more particularly to Fig. 1 of the drawings, the general mode of operation comprises Substantially the following steps, to w1t washing of the articles in a stationary tub 20, or rather, in a perforated basket or rece tacle 21 rotatably mounted therein, said tub being adapted to be closed when the articles are being washed by a lid or cover member 20'. The basket member is designed to be alternately oscillated or rotated in manner hereinafter set forth, the oscillating action being intended to assist in the thorough cleansing of the contents while the rotational movement thereof is provided for centrifugally removing water and foreign matter therefrom.

Water to which has been added a suitable detergent material, such as soap, is stored below the tub 20, for example, in a tank located at the bottom of the washing machine and divided by a partition or wall 22 into two compartments, the compartment 23 containing the cleansing liquid and the compartment 24, of larger proportions, being designed to contain clean water for rinsing.

In the operation of the washing machine, the upper tub or member 20 is initially filled with the cleansing liquid or soap water and the perforated basket 21 then given an oscillating motion to effect the washing of the contained articles. After a predetermined period, the soap water is to be returned to the lower compartment 23, and during this time the basket is given a rotary motion at high .velocity and for a sufficient time to throw off by centrifugal action all the soap water from the wash. Tub 20 is then to be filled with clean water from the lower compartment or rinsing reservoir 24 and the oscillating motion again imparted to said basket. After the wash has been thoroughly rinsed with this rinsing water, the same is returned to the compartment 24 and the basket is then once more rotated at high speed, by virtue of which any water remaining is expelled and the wash thoroughly dried.

To accomplish these various operations and in the required sequence, the basket 21 is made integral with a plate or agitator mem-. ber 25 mounted on a spindle 26 supported by a vertically disposed standard 27 forming a part also of the surrounding tub 20. The basket and agitator are adapted for drivin engagement with the spindle, the outer en of which is squared as at 28 for receiving the basket 21 which may be conveniently set thereover and is driven through the said squared portion when spindle 26 is corre spondingly actuated.

The driving mechanism for the spindle 26 is contained in a suitable casing located between the tub 20 and the compartments 23 and 24; and the spindle carries at its lower end a ear 29 meshing with a pinion 30, keyed on a s aft 31 which is driven by a motor 32 through an intermediate friction clutch 33. Shaft 31 carries also a worm 34 which meshes with a worm gear 35 rotatably supported on a stud 36. When the drive is through the shaft 31, pinion 30 and gear 29, the motion imparted to the spindle 26 is of continuous rotational character; and when it is desired to impart to the said spindle an oscillating motion, the drive is taken through the worm gear 35 which carries an eccentrically disposed pin 37' engaging a link 38 carried by a sleeve39 slidably mounted on the spindle 26, clutch mechanism hereinafter set forth being provided on the spindle 26 to clutch in either the gear 29 or the sleeve 39.

Timing mechanism is provided, also, for the respective periods of oscillation or rotation and comprises a timing shaft 40 vertically disposed adjacent the tub 20 and adapt ed to be slowly rotated indirectly from the worm gear 35. To this end, the latter carries an eccentrically disposed idler gear 41 and concentrically two gears 42 and 43 which mesh with said idler 41, the latter and the two said gears being mounted beneath worm gear 35. One of the gears, 'as the gear 42, is fixed on a standard 44 integral with the gear box and the number of teeth thereof exceeds those of the other gear, as gear 43, by one. Accordingly, when worm wheel 35 makes one complete revolution, the gear 43 turns backwardly one tooth and makes one complete revolution, in a direction opposite to worm Wheel 35, after the latter has made a number of revolutions equal to the number of teeth of the gear 43.

The motion of said gear wheel 43 is communicated to the timing shaft 40 through a ratchet wheel 45 secured to the latter and pawl and lever 46 mounted upon the shaft and connected by a link 47 to the gear wheel 43 through the following intermediate mechanism. The gear wheel 43 carries a cam 48 controlling one arm 49 of a double-levered hub 50 vertically disposed between the upper and lower walls of the mechanism casing, the other arm of the hub being connected to the link 47 to communicate thereto the rocking motion imparted to the hub bv cam 48; and a retaining pawl 51 is provided in connection with said hub to prevent return motion of the ratchet wheel 45 which is advanced by the said motion of the link 47. It will be appreciated that in actual operation the motion thus imparted to the timing shaft 40 is exceedingly slow, amounting to one complete revolution thereof during the complete cycle of operations of the washing apparatus.

The shaft 40, furthermore, carries three cams, 52, 63 and 64, one of which, as the cam 52, controls a clutch 53 slidably keyed on the spindle 26 and adapted to engage with one or the other of the sets of pins 29f vor 39 extending respectively from the gear 29 and sleeve 39 to correspondingly clutch one or the other of these members to the spindle 26 for imparting the desired motion thereto. The motion for actuating the said clutch 53 is transmitted thereto through a link 54 controlled by the cam 52 and through a com-' pound lever embodying the arms 55 and 56. These arms are united by a spring 57 to allow the clutch 53 to get into mesh with the gear 29 or sleeve 39 without forcing the respective pins thereof.

The other two cams 63 and 64 are designed to control the supply and return of the liquid to the tub 20; and a gear pump 58 located beneath the tanks 23 and 24 is utilized to forcibly deliver the liquid from the respective tanks to the tub 20, the return being elfected by gravity. The gear pump is driven by a gear 59 on a shaft 60 and in mesh with the gear 29 driven from the motor 32.

A piston distributor 61 mounted in a cylinder 62, also located beneath the tanks 23 and 24, may be employed for the distribution of thewater. In its several positions it successively opens communication between the soap water tank and the pump, the tub and the soap water tank, the rinse water tank and the pump, the tub and the rinse water tank, for the successive washing operations. As indicated in Fig. 1 of the drawings, the piston 61 is in position to allow soap water from tank 23 to flow into chamber 65 of the cylinder 62. This chamber as well as a chamber 66 at the farther end of the cylinder is connected to the suction end of the gear pump, the latter being in direct connection therewith and the former through an intermediate chamber 67 adjacent the chamber 65. An additional and intermediate chamber 68 is in direct communication with the washing tub 20 through a. discharge pipe 69 while a still further chamber 70 is in direct communication with the tank 24-. containing the rinsing water. In the particular position of parts illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawings, chamber 68 and chamber 70 are both shut off from their communication with the tub 20 and tank 24 respectively; and the pump will then fill the tub through the pipe 71 connecting the pump with the said tub.

Fig. 6'illustrates the conditions necessary for effecting the return or discharge of water from the tub 20 to the tank 23 after the completion of the washing operation; while Fig. 7 sets forth the conditions under which clean or rinsing water is pumped to the said tub.

In Fig. 8 the piston position is indicated for the condition in which clean water is re turned to the tank; while Fig. 9 indicates the arrangement for placing both tanks 23 and 24 as well as tub 20 in communication with the suction end. of the pump to permit all of the water to be withdrawn from the machine and through a three-way valve 71 in the pipe 71.

The step-by-step motion of the piston distributor necessary for carrying out the required operations may be effected through the action of the two further cams'63 and-64 on shaft 40, the former cam by means of an arm 72 placing a spring 73 under tension, said arm being mounted to oscillate freely on a shaft 7 4 while to the said shaft is keyed a cam member 75 or stepped piece and an arm 76. The other cam 6e on said shaft 40 is designed to control an arm 77 pivoted to the casing and holding the cam member 75 in check. When the cam 63 places spring 7 3 under tension, the tension is transmitted to the cam member 75 and thus also to the arm 7 6 by a pin 78 integral with the cam member 7 5 and against which one end of the spring 73 bears. The different positions of the piston distributor 61 correspond to the particular portions of the member 75 adapted for engagement with the end of retaining member 77, the shaft 7 4 being turned accordingly and through which movement and the connecting arm 76 the piston 61 is moved.

To afford a visual indication of the particular conditions prevailing as well as to set the mechanism for a desired operation, the upper end of the timing shaft 40 has secured thereto a dial 80 on which are engraved indications and suitable legends registering in rotation with a fixed index 81 mounted on the side of the washing machine, the dial, and thereby the timing shaft, being manually rotatable in the direction of the arrow by means of a handle 82 keyed on the said shaft.

By this expedient, a secondary control is afforded the operator of the machine to select independently any desired operation or portion of the same as well as to repeat such operation without waiting for the completion of the action by the motor.

The latter may be controlled by a switch formed of a pivoted and spring-drawn knife blade 83 adapted to be held in contact with and to bridge the terminals 84 and 85 by a trigger 86 which is spring-drawn against a stop pin 87 fixed in the switch-box 88. An arm 89 carrying a projecting pin 90 is designed to release the trigger 86 when said pin 90 strikes the trigger, arm 89 being mounted on the timing shaft 40 which is slowly rotated by the motor 32 as hereinbefore set forth. In Fig. 11 the switch is indicated as in action; while in Fig. 12 is shown in inoperative position, but may be reset manually through a handle 91 projecting beyond the switch-box. v

The mechanism hereinbefore described thus enables all of the various operations to be performed automatically, if desired, and whereby the soiled wash, having firstbeen delivered into the basket 21. is successively washed, rinsed and dried. By imparting a high rotational velocity to the wash during the period when the wash water is being drained therefrom, all of the scum, dirt and other foreign material floating onthe surface of the water is removed from contact with the wash so that none remains to adhere thereto; and the wash after having been rinsed and dried in the manner aforesaid, is delivered thoroughly cleansed.
