JEREMIAH LOGKWOOD AND GEORGE W. BACON, QF SULLIVAN, INDIANA; SAID LOCKWOOD ASSIGNOR TO SAID BACON, AND SAID BACON ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF HIS RIGHT TO AZARIAH E. CURTIS, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT IN WASHING-MACHINES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 220,208, dated September 30, 1879; application filed April 12, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, JEREMIAH LocKwoon and GEORGE W. BACON, of Sullivan, in the county of Sullivan and State of Indiana, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in washing-machine. Fig. 2 is a top view of thesame. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section, and Fig. 4: is a detail view.
This invention has relation to improvements in washing-machines; and the nature of the invention consists in combining with a suds-box, metal-lined and provided at its bottom with horizontal guideways, a rectangular frame seated in said ways and affording bearings to rollers, a second roller-carrying frame above the first, a lever-handle, connecting-rods uniting the handle end of the lever and the lower frame and the upper frame and lever above its fulcrum, and a spring holding the upper frame down upon the lower one, as will be hereinafter fully shown and described.
In the annexed drawings, the letter A designates a rectangular metal or metal-lined suds-box, usually raised upon the legs a. Inside of this box, near its bottom, are slideways b, in which is arranged a rectangular frame, 0, in which are journaled side by side the rubbing-rollers (1. These are usually close together, though not touching each other, and extend transversely across the length of the box. At one end of the box are strong raised oflsets e, rigidly secured to its sides, and affording bearings to the journals of arectangular lever-frame, B. These bearings are made usually by means of the open-ended slots 8,
and the journals are confined thereto by means of pins 8. 0 indicates connecting-rod, pivoted at one end to the frame 0, and at the other to the handle ends of the lever-frame below its bearing or fulcrum; and 0, similar rods, connecting the said lever above its fulcrum s to an upper carriage-frame or scrubber, D. This is composed of a rectangular frame, 7, in which are journaled a number of rollers, f.
It is evident that actuating the lever-handle will impart endwise reciprocating movements in opposite directions.
The frame f affords bearings at or near the middle of its length, at g, to a transverse rockshaft, h, the object of which will hereinafter appear.
J indicates a vertically vibrating frame, formed of side bars, h and a brace or braces, W, and secured to the sides of the box, near the bearings of the lever, by means of pivotpins a. In its free end the frame J affords hearings to a rock'shaft, l, which is connected to the rock-shaft h by means of a metallic rod, n, rigidly secured to said shaft h, but extending up loosely through shaft 1, and by means of elliptic springs S secured at their ends to the said shafts. I may also interpose between the latter the spiral spring 8 usually arranged on the rod a, and secured at its ends to the shafts aforesaid.
The operation is as follows: The box being filled with water to a suitable depth, the garments to be washed are soaped, and, the upper roller-frame being thrown up, laid upon the lower roller-frame. The upper frame is then swung down upon the garments, and the buttons 0 on the edge of the box caused to engage the side bars of frame J. The opera tor, seizing hold of the lever-handle, draws it back and forth, and imparts opposite reciprocation to the roller-frame, subjecting the garments to a vigorous rubbing.
The yielding of the springs between the rock-shafts, while subjecting the garments to an efiective pressure, prevents the breaking In testimony that we claim the above we have hereunto subscribed our names in the presence of two witnesses.
