CLOTHES WRINGER Filed March 24, 1933 Patented Feb. 11, 1936 UNITED STAT-ES PATENT OFFICE u Application March 24,
1933, Serial N0. 662,554
In Canada March 24, 1932 7 Claims.
This present invention relates to improvements in a clothes wringer and appertains particularly to an attachment therefor in the form of a safety guard and a feeding belt.
An object of the invention is to provide a wringer attachment comprising removable frames attached to opposite sides of the wringer and carrying an endless feed belt passing between the regular wringer rollers.
A further object of the invention is to provide a Wringer attachment of this kind that can be applied easily to any standard clothes wringer of conventional design and as easily removed or interchanged as desired.
` A further object of the invention is to provide a safety guard in the form of removable frames on opposite sides of the clothes wringer carrying an endless feed belt and supplied with belt supporting platforms under the upper load carrying side of the belt.
A further object of the invention is to provide a safety feeding attachment for clothes wringers including removable and interchangeable feeding and delivering end frames carrying a table supported endless belt adapted to take the articles to be introduced to the rollers at a safe distance ahead thereof and after passing them between the wringer rollers to deliver the same to a waiting basket or tub placed conveniently beneath the delivering end.
A still further obj ect of the invention is to provide a clothes wringer safety attachment of the nature' and for the purposes described that is characterized by structural simplicity, durability and operating eiciency and being capable of manufacture and sale at a reasonable cost is thereby rendered commerci-ally desirable.
To the accomplishment .of these and related objects as shall become apparent as the description proceeds, my invention resides in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as shall be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.
The invention will be best understood and can be more clearly described when reference is had to the drawing forming a part of this disclosure wherein like characters indicate like parts throughout the several Views.
In the drawing:-
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a conventional clothes wringer equipped with my safety feed attachment;
Figure 2 is a horizontal sectionthereof as taken on the line 2-2 of Figure l, looking in the direction indicated b-y the arrows;
Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinal section as taken on the line 3--3 of Figure 2, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows; and
Figure 4 is an elevational detail of the connecting device by which the removable frames attach to the wringer proper.
To the wringer 5 are applied four screw eyes 6, one .on the forward and rear face of each end post 'I and all at the same height.
' A forward or feeding end frame 8 and a rear or delivery end frame 9 attach interchangeably to opposite sides of the wringer 5, though both frames are similar in structural elements they appear different in design and will be described individually later. Both end frames are composed of spaced sides I0 of sheet metal held together by a pair of transverse rods II and each of the sides Ill .of the end frames 8 and 9 are bent outwardly in flanges I2 at their approaching or confronting ends that are extended vertically in both directions to give substantial bearing surface against the wringer ends I to which these out-turned flanges I2 are applied. These flanges I2 are each vcut away a short distance from the top, and opposite these cut outs and just spaced in from the wringer contacting end, the opposite frame sides I0 are provided with registering perforations I3 through which the intermediate portion of the transverse connecting pins I4, held by the screw eyes 6, extend. These connecting pins I4 are preferably bent as at I5 at one end.
At their outer ends, each of the frames 8 and 9 carry transverse idling rollers I6 around which an endless canvas feed belt II runs, its upper side passing between the rollers of the clothes wringer 5. A supporting table I8 is included with each of the end frames 8 and 9 lying immediately under the upper or load carrying side of the belt I'I by resting on the transverse rods II, their opposite ends I9 being rolled downwardly around said rods.
The forward or feed end frame 8 differs, as mentioned previously, from the rear or delivery end frame 9 in that it is shorter, extending forwards from the wringer 5 a less distance than the rear delivery frame 9 continues back of or beyond the wringer; furthermore its idling roller I6 is lower than the bottom of the wringers rollers whereas the idling roller I6 of the rear or delivery frame I6 is raised above it though their alignment is below the axis of the lower wringer roller so that the belt I1 is stretched upwardly to pass OVBX'.
It will be seen, as a consequence of the difference between the relative locations of the idling rollers lli in the feed and delivery frames 8 and 9, that their side members It! will vary in configuration and the length of their supporting tables I8 will differ considerably. It may also be pointed out that the end of the table I8, in the feed frame 8, nearest the wringer rollers may be rolled back, as at Zl, similar and not opposite to the far end thereby corresponding to or concentric with the adjacent wringer roller.
In use, the clothes to be passed through the wringer .are dropped on the advancing canvas belt I7 carried untouched through between the wringer rollers, out the length of the rear frame and dropped into a waiting tub or basket. To remove the device, the belt ll can be broken at its seam and the two pins lll withdrawn allowing the frames 8 and S to fall free. These latter .are interchangeable and can be applied to either side of the wringer as desired.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, it will be manifest that a clothes wringer is provided that will fulll all the necessary requirements of such a device but as many changes could be made in the above description and many apparently widely different embodiments of my invention may be constructed within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit or scope thereof, it is intended that all matters contained in the said accompanying specification and drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative .and not in a limitative or restrictive sense.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:-
l. In combination with a wringer, a safety feed attachment comprising a feed frame extending forwardly and downwardly from said wringer;
. a delivery frame extending backwardly and up- 3. A safety feed attachment for a wringer comprising a frame formed of a pair of side walls, transverse rods and an idling roller between said walls, an endless belt riding around said idling roller and a removable supporting table having downwardly curved opposite ends resting on said transverse rods and lying immediately below the load carrying side of said belt for supporting the same.
4. A safety feed attachment for a wringer comprising a frame formed of a pair of side walls, transverse rods and an idling roller between said sides, out-turned anges on the ends of said side walls against the wringer and perforations in the top of said side walls near said flanged ends to accommodate a transverse connecting pin by which said frame attaches to the wringer.
5. A safety feed .attachment for a wringer comprising a frame formed of a pair of side walls, transverse rods and an idling roller between said sides, out-turned flanges on the ends of said side walls against the wringer cut away near the top to accommodate screw eyes projecting from the wringer, perforations in said side walls opposite the cut away part of said flanges, and a transverse connecting rod bent at one end adapted to extend through said perforations in termediate of its ends that are supported in said screw eyes.
6. In combination with a clothes wringer, `a safety feed attachment and supporting table comprising a pair of interchangeable end frames removably supported on opposite sides of said wringer, an idling roller disposed transversely in the outer end of each of said end frames that carried by the forward or feeding end frame being lower than the bottom wringer roller and that carried by the rear or delivery end frame being higher and the alignment of said idling rollers being below the bottom wringer roller and an endless canvas belt running around said idling rollers and between the wringer rollers.
'7. A safety attachment for wringers and the like comprising individual and interchangeable feed and delivery frames; means for connecting the same to opposite sides of a Wringer and an upwardly inclined endless belt, having its ends supported at different heights by said frames, running around the same.
