SAMUEL G. MGOULLOUGH, OF OTTUMWA, IOWA.
WASHING- MACHINE.
SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 229,441, dated June 29, 1880.
Application filed September 6, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL G. MGOUL- LOUGH, of Otturnwa, in the county of Wapello and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Was ing-Machines; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being bad to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures .of reference marked thereon.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a longitudinal section of my washing-machine, and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same.
The nature of my invention consists in an improvement upon a washing machine for which Letters Patent were granted me March 25, 1879, as will be fully set forth in the following specification, and particularly pointed out in the claim.
Referring by letter to the drawings, A designates the suds-box, and b an oscillatory frame, which is pivoted at one end thereof, the said frame being provided with a cross-bar, b, at its upper end, which serves as a handle for operatin g the same.
(J is a frame, which is provided at one end with a perforated board, 0!, and pivoted near its other end to the frame b. A third frame, E, is in turn pivoted near one end to the frame 0, and is provided at its other end with a cross-bar, e, and a series of downwardly-projecting teeth, 0. The ends of the cross-bar e extend beyond the sides of the frame E, so as to travel upon certain guides or ways during the operation of the machine, as will be presently explained.
F .designates an inclined partition, which is arranged near one end of the suds-box. This partition does not extend down to the bottom of the said box, whereby a passage-way, f, will be formed between the two.
G G designate a series of bars having the intermediate spaces h h, and these bars are secured to the bottom of the suds-box and to the inclined partition, substantially as shown.
1 I are strips or ways upon the interior sides of the box A, the strips I constituting horizontal ways in line with the upper ends of the bars G and the strips 1 inclined ways rising from the rear ends of strips I nearly up to the top of the suds-box.
L L are two short bars or strips, which are pivoted upon the inner sides of the suds-box at points above the ways I and in rear of the partition F, it being understood that that part of the box at which the handle-frame is pivoted is designated as its rear end.
The ends of the pivoted strips L are beveled, as at m, so that when they are not raised by the projecting ends of bar 6 such beveled parts will bear upon the inclined ways I, and an additional horizontal way be formed which is in the same plane as the upper ends of the said inclined parts.
The operation is as follows: After the clothes and suds have been placed within the box A the handle of the frame I) is grasped by the operator and the frame swung forward and around upon its pivotal bearings. During this movement the perforated board of the frame 0 will push the clothes forward and upon the bars G, and at the same time the projecting ends of the cross-bar 6 will move forward upon the ways which are formed by the pivoted pieces L until the said bar 6 arrives at the space between the pivotal ends of strips L and the partition 1*. At this juncture the frame E will swing down upon its pivots, the teeth 6 passing between the bars G until the cross-bar e rests upon the strips or ways I. If, now, the motion of the operative handle be reversed, the clothes will be drawn forward through the suds and between the perforated board (I and teeth 0, while at the same time the bar 6 will travel along the ways 1, until it strikes against the ways I, upon which it will necessarily ascend. By swinging back the handle to a sufficient extent the bar 0 will strike against the pivoted strips L and elevate the same, so that it will entirely clearthe ways and pass somewhat in rear thereof. When the bar 6 is in position at the upper end of the inclined ways I the side bars of the frame 0 will rest upon the rear end board of the sudsbox. As the handle-frame b is swung farther back the perforated board at will be elevated and brought closer to the teeth 0, whereby the clothes will be more firmly squeezed between the two.
By the above arrangement the clothes will be alternately squeezed between the perforated board 01 and the bars G and between said board and the teeth 6. The movements of the bars and teeth will also cause the articles to be shifted or turned round in the suds, so that they will be effectively washed.
The object of the passage-way or opening below the inclined partition F is to allow the water which is squeezed from the clothes when they are between the bars G and the perforated board d to pass to the forward end of the box.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In combination with the suds-box, provided SAMUEL CLINTON MOCULLOL'GH.
