Application June 25, 1935, Serial No. 28,308
1 Claim.
This invention relates to improvements in washboards, the general object of the invention is to provide recesses in the board for engaging portions of a tub so that the board will be held against movement while being used.
This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.
In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:-
Figure l is an edge view of the improved board.
Figure 2 is a rear view thereof.
Figure 3 is a fragmentary detail view showing the shape of the recess on each side member of the board.
In this drawing, the board is shown at A and includes the usual side members I and in carrying out my invention I provide a recess 3 in the rear edge of each side member adjacent the top of the board. Each recess slopes upwardly and inwardly from the outer face of the side members and is composed of a substantially circular hole 4 and a slot 5 which extends from the hole to the rear edge of the side member.
Thus by placing these recesses over portions of the upper edge of a tub the board will be held against movement in the tub. This invention makes the use of the board more efiicient, saves wear on the clothing being rubbed on the board and also wear of the clothing worn by the user which is occasioned by the necessity of holding the board against the body. The invention also saves labor by allowing the operator to occupy different stances during operation and relieves the necessity of crowding close to the tub when larger tubs .are used. It keeps the board at the proper 5 angle and can be used in any size tub and provides more tub space for articles to be washed in the larger tubs. It also saves time as it eliminates lost motion caused by the board slipping. It also allows the tub to be placed at any height above the floor.
It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.
It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.
What is claimed is: V
The herein described washboard comprising essentially a pair of elongated members forming the sides of the board and having leg forming extensions at their lower ends, said members characterized by recesses in their rear edges adjacent to the top of the board, each recess sloping upwardly and inwardly from the outer face of the side member, and each recess being composed of a circular opening and a slot extending rearwardly and downwardly from the opening through the rear edge of the side member, said slot being of a less width than the diameter of the opening and arranged to enable it to fit snugly around or over the rim of a tub when the tub rim is forced up into the circular opening.
