Patented June-19, 1945 LAUNDRY HOLDER Thomas S. Watson, Milwaukee, Wis., assignor to Huebsch Manufacturing Company, Milwaukee,
Wis., a corporation of Wisconsin Application July 6,1942, Serial No. 449,870
1 Claim. (01. 150-1) I present invention, the holder is formed to provide foldable side portions and looped corner portions which permits the holder to be placed in a laundry truck with the looped portions bent over the sides of this truck and in this condition be charged with laundry from a, washing machine. The loaded truck is then moved to the extractor apparatus and the laundry in the holder is loaded into the extractor by connecting the looped portions of the loaded bag with a suitable hoist hook and lifting the bag out of the truck and deposit ing it in the extractor. After the extracting process the looped portions of the bag may be again engaged by the hoist and the filled bag lifted out of the extractor and into a truck by which it is carried to a place of deposit. At this point the filled bag is again connected to a hoist and lifted out of the truck and moved to rest one side of it upon the top of the truck, and then by releasing the connections attaching the overhanging portions of the bag to the hoist this side of the bag may be opened up to deposit the clothes upon any suitable support, and this operation may be assisted by raising up on that end of the bag secured to the hoist. Thus the bag of this invention not only forms a receptacle for laundry but also has means which insure its positloning in an open position in a truck, permit its vbeing raised from and lowered into different containers, and facilitates the dumping of its load.
A further object of the invention is to provide a. laundry bag for holding the laundry during the extracting process in which the laundry is separated into a plurality of batches so as to prevent its being squeezed up into one tangled mass of clothes and permit its ready removal from said bag after extracting the waste liquid therefrom.
A further object of the invention is to provide a laundry holder whose body is made from a single piece of canvas or other suitable flexible material which has recessed corner portions to permit folding and a rope extending across these comer portions and adapted to form a bight for a hoist hook.
The invention further consists in the several features hereinafter set forth and more particularly defined by a claim at the conclusion hereof.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a plan view of a device embodying the invention,-parts being broken away;
:Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view through the holder showing one of its uses;
Fig. 4 is an elevation view of the holder in another of its uses;
Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view through an extractor apparatus showing the device in use;
Fig. 6 is a view of the device embodying the invention in a load discharging position.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, the holder comprises a single piece I of substantially square heavy canvas or other suitable flexible material which is cut out at each corner forming a notch 8, portions of which are lapped over and stitched together at their inner ends 9 so as to form a somewhat dished bottom cavity In with side fiaps H. The depth of the notches 8 determines the height of the side flap-s. The side flaps I! are connected together at their corners by a rope I2 or other suitable flexible line or cable. this rope preferably extending around the periphery of the holder and being secured within looped edges 13 of each flap.
Secured to the inner side of one of the flaps at M by suitable stitching is a flexible partition flap I5 of canvas or other suitable wringable material and secured to another of the flaps at right angles to the one just referred to at It by suitable stitching is a flexible partition flap ll of canvas or other suitable wringable material. The flap I1 is disposed nearer the bottom in of the holder than the flap l5, and each flap extends across or substantially across the same.
The above described structure has been designed to form a holder for laundry as it is moved from one processing station of the laundry to another. For example, in Fig. 3 I have shown a wheeled truck H3 or conventional form having a round container portion 19. Th holder 1 is shown as pressed down into the container 59 so that its bottom in rests on the bottom of the container and its side flaps I I extend up the sides of the container. Under these conditions the loops formed by the ropes l2 are bent down over the sides of the container l9 and act to hold the upper portion of the bag or holder 1 in position while the bag is being loaded with laundry. The bag is shown in Fig, 3 as disposed adjacent the outlet 20 of a washing machine drum 2|, and the washing in this machine is taken out and loaded into the bag I after which the truck I8is moved to bring it to the extracting apparatus. At this point the loop portions I 2 of the bag are brought together and secured to the hook 22 of any suitable hoisting apparatus, and as shown in Fig. 4 the hook 22 is shown as a double hook with two of the loops at one side of the bag engaged with one or the hooks and the other two loops engaged with the other hook, this hook being suspended from a hoist mechanism 23 by a cable 24. The raising of the filled bag through the connection with the hoist pulls it out of the container portion l9 of the truck, and then it may be moved to a position for depositing it into the container portion 25 or an extractor 26, and then the hook 22 is released and the looped ends l2 folded over the top or the laundry as shown in Fig. 5. The extractor shown includes a removable apertured cover 21 adapted to be secured to the top of the container by a. suitable locking means, a flexible rubber bag 28 secured at its top to the upper part of the container and projecting down into the same and actually receiving the loaded clothes,
holder therein. The container 25 has an opening 19 in its bottom connected with a suitable source of hydraulic fluid which, on being introduced in the space between the container and the bag, causes the bag with its load of clothes to be pushed upwardly against the cover 21, thereby squeezing the water or other waste washing liquid from the clothes and the holder and forcing it out through an apertured portion of the cover. During the extracting process the cover 21 is held in operative position by a suitable locking means including the ring 30, but as the invention herein is in the holder, further description of the extractor is deemed unnecessary.
The extractors 26 are built in various sizes, and some of them are quite large, so that a single load in the extractor represents a considerable mass of washing, and in some instances the clothes of such a mass are hard to separate after the extracting process. In order to facilitate separation of the clothes after the extracting process. the holder of this invention is provided with partitions formed by the flaps I and I1 which act to divide the full holding space of the bag into a plurality of smaller spaces, the clothes being deposited between the bag and the partitions, so that they appear in the bag as a plurality of layers of clothes, as shown in Fig. 5. After the waste liquid has been extracted from the clothes in the extractor 26, the cover 21 is removed from the container 28, and the hoist 28 again is brought over the container 28 and the hook 22 engaged with the looped portions l2 or the bag in the same manner as shown Fig. 4 so as to raise the bag with the clothes therein from the container. The clothes may then be put in another tru-ck similar to the truck I8 and carried to a place of discharge, or they may be discharged onto a low platform truck 3| as shown in Fig. 6 wherein the numeral 32 designates either the top of an extractor or the top of a truck such as the truck l8 from which the loaded clothes holder has been lifted so as to bring it to the edge of the container in which position the ropes 62 are slacked off enough so as to allow the ropes on the overhanging end of the container to be released from one of the hooks 22 so as to let that side of the bag fall down over the side of the container 32, and then by pulling up on the other side of the bag as indicated by the ropes 52 engaged with the hook 22 of the hoist in Fig. 6 the entire contents of the holder i are deposited on the top of the truck 38 or may be deposited in any other suitable place. Thus it will be noted that the ropes 12 provide flexible loops at the corners of the holder which form a means for readily suspending the holder from a hooked hoist and for manipulating this holder while on the hoist and also provide a means for retaining the holder in position in a carrying container.
I desire it to be understood that this invention is not to be limited to any particular form or arrangement of parts except in so far as such limitations are included in the claim.
What I claim as my invention is:
A laundry holder comprising a square piece of canvas having recessed corners with inner parts of each corner overlapped and secured together to form a dished central portion and side flaps. and cord portions connecting adjacent flaps at the corners and forming sling loops.
