July 23" G. A. AAAAAAA RD 2,209,068
SSS 0 NNN OR w Patented July 23, 1940 UNITED STATES WASH STIOK George. A. Blanchard, Portland, Qreg. Application March 2, 1938', SerialNo. 193,510l' 2 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in a device to be used in conjunction with domestic wringers. I
The primary purpose and object of this invention is to provide a means for dipping clothes,
particularly from hot water from a washing machine, that is to be directly transferred into a wringer. I-Ieretofore this has been done by hand or with a stick of some sort which required the transferring of the dipped clothing from the hand and from there fed into the wringer. This was uncomfortable where the water was particularly hot, and it was further dangerous because of the possibility of the fingers of the worker 15 being caught by the wringer.
Through the use of my new and improved device the clothes are dipped from the washing bowl, well, or drum of the washing machine and are directly fed into the wringer without the contacting of the clothing by the fingers or hand of the user which-eliminates the dipping of the hands into the hot Water in getting the article to be wrung. It also eliminates the fingers being caught in the wringer.
My new and improved device is preferably comprised of a body element made of suitable material which has a socket disposed at its base end into which a suitable handle may be inserted, and a teat is disposed upon the opposite end to facilitate the engagement of the clothes to be run into the rolls of the wringer.
The end upon which the teat is disposed is formed circular to prevent the teat being drawn into the wringer rolls.
The primary object of my invention consists of a simply constructed device that is light in weight and that may be simply made to be used by the washer woman in the dipping of clothes from the washing machine and in the feeding of the same into the wringer.
A further object of my invention consists in forming a teat upon the outer end of the body element that is used in forcibly engaging the clothes within the wringer and between the wringer rolls, and which prevents also the body element being fed between the wringer rolls.
With these and incidental objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combination of parts, the essential elements of which are set forth in the ap-.
Fig. I is a fragmentary side view of the handle and a sectional side view of the head or body element here shown as being threadably secured to the handle.
Fig. II is a sectional side view of the body element shown removed from the handle. In Figs. I, II, and IV the body element is shown as being made of Bakelite, rubber or similarmaterial.
Fig. III is a sectional side View of the body ele-' ment that maybe made of metal, glass, or other suitable material.
Fig. IV is a sectional side view of a body element having a teat and wedge formed integral therewith, the wedge portion adapted for being forced into the end of the handle to spread the same and to force a tight working relationship between the body element and the entering end of the handle.
Fig. V is a sectional side view of a body element here shown as being made from sheet material.
Fig. W is a plan view of the teat end of the body element.
Fig. VII is a fragmentary sectional side view of the handle and a sectional side view of the head with the head shown as being in position for feeding clothes to be run in wringer rollers that are here shown as being in sectional end view.
Like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views.
I have here shown the handle at l. The handle PATENT OFFICE body element 2 has a teat 3 disposed upon its feeding end with the teat being rounded as shown at 4, and the teat end of the body element 2 is spherical as shown at 5. Theteat of the body element may. be made as illustrated in Fig. IV in which a shoulder 6 is provided upon the teat having a stem 1 running longitudinally of the body element, and having a wedge 9 disposed upon its inner end. I
The wedge end9 is disposed within the socket 8 and is so positioned as to enter the inner end of the handle and to spread the same to thereby maintain a tight working relationship between the entering end of the handle I into the socket 8. The handle i may be secured to the body element 2 by the wedge 9 or the same may be removably secured thereto by forming a thread in upon the entering end of the handle I and by forming a like thread upon the inside of the body element into which the threaded end of the handle may be threadably engaged.
I may make the body element of Bakelite, glass,
it is not intended to confine the invention to the metal, or any other suitable non-corrodable material.
I also may make the body element of sheet material and when so made the outer end II is made partially spherical as illustrated in the other views and in which the base end [2 of the body element is shown tapering and having a thimble l3 disposed upon its inner end to form a socket M in which the handle is made to enter. When so made it will probably be found desirable to form a roll l5 upon the base end of the thimble to provide suflicient metal for forming the thimble.
This will provide a head that will be relatively light and be hollow as illustrated at is within the major portion of the body element.
My invention is primarily intended for being used in conjunction with domestic wringer rolls [1 and I8. The teat I9 as illustrated in Fig. VII is sufficiently short so as not to engage and be caught by the rubber surfaces of the wringer rolls. The teat end of the body element is made partially spherical to prevent the drawing of the body element 2 into the wringer rolls. The spherical end of the body element engages the surfaces of the adjacent wringer rolls to thereby wipe clothes to be wrung from the body element 2 and to be fed therefrom directly between the wringer rolls. While the form of mechanism herein shown and described is admirably adapted to fulfill the objects primarily stated, it is to be understood that embodiment herein shown and described, as it is susceptible of embodiment in various forms, all coming Within the scope of the claims which follow.
What I claim is:
1. In a device of the class described, the combination of a body element, said body element having a handle receiving socket disposed upon one of its ends and a teat disposed upon the other one of its ends with the teat and the socket having a common longitudinal center line with the body element being convex upon the end upon which the teat is disposed, and a handle removably securable to the body element.
2. In a device of the class described, the combination of a body element made of a resilient material, said body element being circular in transverse cross section, the body element having its maximum transverse cross section adjacent its ringer engaging end, and said body element having; a teat disposed axially of the body element and outwardly extending from the outer end of the body element, and said teat being frustoconical, and the ringer engaging end being curved outwardly and rearwardly from the bare end of the teat to the maximum diameter of the body element, a handle, said handle being held relative thereto by a screw connection.
