No 235,107. Patented Dec. 7,1880.
NPETERS, PHOTO-LITHOGRAPNER WASHINGTON D C UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
DAVID E. TAYLOR, OF CHARLTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
CLOTHES-POUNDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 235,107, dated December 7, 1880.
Application filed September 18, 1880.
T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DAVID E. TAYLOR, of the v town of Charlton, county of Worcester, and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Washers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which- I igure 1 represents a side view of my improved clothes-washer. Fig. 2 represents a vertical central section on line at :r, Fig. l; and Fig. 3 represents a bottom view of the same.
To enable those skilled in the art to which my invention belongs to make and use the same, I will proceed to describe it more in detail.
In the drawings, the part marked A represents acase having, in this instance, a convex cover or top, B, and handle-socket G, to receive a handle, D, a section of which handle is shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Upon the interior of the conical top B issecured a series of braces or stays, a, and to the lower ends of these stays or braces is attached a head-piece, E, made convex on its lower'side in this instance; but it may be made of any other desired form.
(Jase A is open at its lower end, and near its lower edge, F, itis provided upon its inner side with a series of loop-springs, Gr.
Each of the loop-springs G is provided with spring-coils H, one at each of its ends, and the outer ends of the wire, after forming the coils II, are, in this instance, soldered to the inside of case A; but they may be passed through holes formed in the sides of case A, and then soldered or otherwise fastened as may be desired, the only requisite being that the ends of the wire, after the coils H are formed, shall be securely fastened to the case A.
The inwardly -projecting arms I) of loopspring G are bent to form aloop part, c, which passes through a loop-piece, d, projecting from the center head, I, and which center head, I, is made with a hollow, 0, into which the loop ends 0 of the loop-springs G play or work (No model.)
when said head I is worked up and down in the operation of washing the clothes, as hereinafter described. More or less loop-springs Gr may beeinployed, as desired.
By the use of the wire loop-springs G, in combination with the looped head I and case A, as described, there is no danger of tearing or injuring the clothing during the operation of washing, since the clothing slips easily from the surface of the smooth wire, forming the limbs b of the springs G. Then, again, the parts b of the springs G will spring laterally or in any direction, thus conforming automatically to bunches in theclothing or any unusual strain thereof.
The operation is as follows: The wash-tub having been properly filled with clothes and hot soap-suds, the operator takes hold of handle D, whichis to be of the desired length, and stamps or forces the case A down into and upon the clothes until it bottoms, and then raises the washer and repeats this stamping or pounding operation until the clothes are freed from dirt and washed clean.
The head-piece E, which depends from the interior of top B, serves as a stop to prevent the springs being forced too far up into the case, and thereby injured by being set or other wise; and it also serves as a sucking-head "and water-lifter, the water which is lifted being thrown out over its edges, and thus more evenly divided or distributed over the clot hes covered by the bottom of case A.
Having described my improvements in clothes-washers, what I claim therein as new and of my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination, with caseAand looped head I, of the wire loop-springs Gr, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. The combination, with case A, looped head I, and loop-springs G, of head E and braces or stays a, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
DAVID E. TAYLOR.
