WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of LettersPatent No. 225,593, dated March 16, 1880.
' Application filed August 11, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it knownthat I, MILEs O. GREENLAND, of Wells Tannery, in the county of Fulton and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Washing-Machines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a side elevation. Fig. 2 is a plan or top view with the detachable cover removed to show the interior arrangement of the tub, beaters, reciprocating pegs orpushers, and rollers. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section on line 00 w in Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a transverse vertical section on Buoy 3/ in Fig. 2.
Similar letters of. reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
This invention has relation to washing-machines; and it consists in the combination, with a suitably-constructed tub, of a set of three alternately-reciprocating shoes or beaters, certain devices for pushing the clothes down against the said heaters, and mechanism for operatingthe said heaters and pushing devices, substantially as and for the purpose hereinafter more fully set forth.
In the two sheets of drawings, A A are posts or uprights, united by cross-pieces a a, to form a frame, to the lower front'part of which the tub B is secured. O is the drivewheel, which meshes with a smaller wheel, D, keyed centrally upon the operating-shaft E, which is journaled in the rear uprights, A A, of the frame, and has three cranks, e e 0 between the uprights, and an additional crank, f, on the other side of the frame, as shown in Fig. 2.
Upon a rod passing transversely through the upper front part of the frame, above the rear part of the tub B, are pivoted three hangers, F F F, which project down through slots 12 in the stationary half-cover B of the tub, each having a shoe, G G G affixed rigidly upon its lower end. Each of these shoes consists of a wooden block of the configuration shown in Fig. 3, beveled on the rear side to form an edge, 9, and having a slanting ribbed or serrated front side or face, h, which, if desired, may be shod with zinc or other suitable material, for the purpose of better standing the wear. Upon the upper front part of each of the shoes G is secured a slanting block or shield, t, impinging upon the lower part of the hanger, the object of which will be described hereinafter.
The front part of the bottom of the tub is made curved. or inclined, as shown at B Fig. 3. k k are rollers pivoted transversely in the front end of the tub above the incline, and His a transverse shaft journaled in the side pieces of the tub and made with two parallel cranks, ll, upon each of which is pivoted a peg or pusher, L L. Shaft H is rocked by the pitman m, which is pivoted upon the crank f of shaft E. B is the removable half-cover of y the tub, which is placed upon it and held in place by hooks and staples, or equivalent fastenin g devices, during the operation of washing.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawings, the operation of my improved washing-machine will readily be understood.
The clothes and suds being placed in the tub, the heaters G G G alternately advancing and retreating by turning the crank of the drive-wheel C, the shaft E of which is, by its cranks e e c and pitmen d d diconnected with the hangers F F F ,will keep the clothes under constant friction against their ribbed and inclined faces, the shields t preventing the clothes from becoming entangled around the hangers or lodging upon the upper part of the rubbers. At the same time the pegs L L will keep constantly pushing the clothes back into the tub and against the advancing heaters, the sharp rear edge, g, of which enables them to out easily through the suds in the tub on the backward movement. The dirty water may be emptied through an aperture stopped with a plug, a, in the rear part of the tub.
Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- 1. The combination, with the tub B and alternating and reciprocating heaters G G G, constructed as described, of the rock-shaft H,
