construction, and-into which the entire lot of,
clothes contained in an ordinary domestic wash r may be placed at one time, and the major portion of the water therein removed in a sing operation.
More specifically it is my object to provide a clothes drier of this character in which the parts are all readily and easily detached and reconnected tor'convenience in cleaning said parts, and in which the upper end of the flexible bag is automatically sealed against the leakage of water by the pressure of the water between the bag and the receptacle; and further to provide a device of this character in which the cover is readily and easily removable for purposes of oh- :i .1, access to the interior of the flemble bag, and when closed serves to firmly connect the sealing ring and flexible bag and hold them in their proper position; and further to provide an improved drge trough in which the water pressed out of the clothes may be delivered to any depoint of discharge. 1 My invention consists in the construction, ar-
ment and combination of the various parts of the device, whereby the objects contemplated are attained, as hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in my claims, and illustrated in the accomp drawing, in which:
1 shows a vertical, central, sectional view of a clothes drier embodying my invention.
Figure 2 shows a top or plan view of same partly in section, on the line 2-2 of Figure 1. at Figure 3 shows an inverted plan view of the dehle cover. Figure 4 shows asectional view entire line .1-4 of Figure 3; and
5 shows an enlarged, detail, sectional View on the line 55 of Figure 2. 3
Referring to the accompanying drawing, 1 have used the reference numeral to indicate generally the cylindrical open top receptacle having at its bottom an opening 11 through which fluid under pressure may be admitted. The top edge of the receptacleis preferably curved inwardly and downwardly as shown at 12 in Figure 5.
' Spaced apart from the upper end of the receptacle on its inner surface is an annular ring 13 fixed in place by the rivets l4. and each of theeenrivets also extends through the rounded lug 15 on the exterior of the receptacle. Mounted within the receptacle is a flexible c of the ribs 22.
lindrical open top bag 16, having at its upper edge an enlarged rib 17.
In assembling the bag within the receptacle, the rib 16 is simply pressed by the operators fingers into the space between the annular rib 13 and the curved upper edge of the receptacle at 12. This rib 17 fits loosely into the said space, and the operation is easily performed and the bag may be placed in position or removed readily and easily.
After the bag has' been placed in position, then the operator places the sealing flanges 18 in 'position on top of the part 12. This sealing flange has a curved upper portion to fit the part 12 of the receptacle, and a flanged portion extended downwardly and inwardly into the interior of the 15 upper end of the bag, but normally spaced apart from the bag. This sealing flange is loosely positioned and may be readily and easily removed or replaced. 1
The cover comprises a body portion 19 having 20 outwardly extended portions at 20, and in each of these outwardly extended portions is formed a right angle slot 21, which slots co-operate with the lugs 15 in forming bayonet joints of the ordinary variety.
On the under surface of the cover, as shown in Figure 3, there is a circular rib 22, which extends nearly around the cover, but its ends are spaced apart. This rib, as will be seen in Figure 5, normally engages the top of the sealing v flange when the cover is in its locking position, thus firmly uniting all the parts, and at the same time permitting water pressed out of the-bag to flow out through the opening between the ends "Fixed to the outer surface of the receptacle is a supporting strap 23, and mounted against its upper edge is a trough, indicated generally by the reference numeral 24. This trough is provided at one side with a discharge spout 25, and between the upper edge of the trough and the adjacent lugs 15, I have provided a rubber sealing ring 26, which may be readily and easily removed after the trough 25 is in place and before the cover is placed in position, and it serves the'function of 5 preventing any. watcr that may pass outwardly over the top of the sealing flange 18, at points other than between the ends of therib 22, from flowing down the side of the'outer surface of the receptacle and directs all of such water into the so trough 24.
In practical operation the parts may be readily and easily assembled as follows:
First the rubber bag is placed in position within .the receptacle, and then the sealing flange i its lower end adjacent to the upper inner surface of the flexible bag. Then the drier is ready to receive a lot of wet clothes.
When the clothes have been placed in position, the cover is placed in position and turned a part revolution to secure the bayonet joints, thereupon fluid under, pressure is injected through the opening 11 at the bottom of the receptacle and thm causes the lower end of the flexible bag to collapse and move upwardly to press the clothes against the cover.
During this operation, it will be obvious that this fluid pressure will tend to press the upper edge of the flexible bag against the lower part of the sealing flange, thus elating leakage at this point.
The water expelled from the clothes flows into the trough 24 and out through the discharge spout 25, either back into the washing machine with which this drier is associated, or into some other receptacle, and for this purpose the trough 24 is made freely movable in a rotary direction around the outer surface of the receptacle.
I claim as my invention:
1. In a device of the class described, the combination of an open topped receptacle having its top edge extended inwardly and also having a rib extended inwardly near its top edge, a flexible bag having an enlarged ribat its upper edge insorted between said rib and the inward extension placed in position on top 01 the receptacle, with or the top edge to limit the up and down movement of the said enlarged rib on the flemble bag, a rigid sealing flange detachably nounted on the top or the receptacle and projected downwardly into the upper end or the bag, and means for holding the sealing ring against upward movement, for the purposes stated,
2. In a device of the class described the combination of an open top w; receptacle, a. rib extended inwardly around the upper end portion of the receptacle, a flexible bag mounted in the receptacle and having a flexible enlarged rib at its upper end resting on top of said inwardly extended rib of the receptacle, means for introducinp fluid under pressure to the space between the receptacle and bag, a rigid sealing member hav= hie or circular flange shaped to freely enter and project down into the open upper end of the flexible bag, and also having an outwardly extended flange to overlap the top or said rib on the flexible bag, and a cover detachably secured to the receptacle and in engagement with said sealing member, there being fluid passageways
