WILLIS CARTER, OF NANAIMO, BRITISH COLUMBIA.
WASHING- MACHlNE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 238,568, dated March 8, 1881.
Application filed May 24, 1880. (N 0 model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIs CARTER, of N anaimo, in the district of Nan-aimo, British 00- lumbia, have invented a new and useful Im provement in Washing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.
The invention consists in improving the operation and general effect of washing-machines by combining the essential elements thereof, as hereinafter described, and subsequently pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a machine embodying my improvements, and Fig. 2 is a top View of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A represents the tub supported by legs a. In the sides of the tub are the bearings for the rubber B, which consists of two arms carrying a rubbing-bar at their lower ends. In the rear portion of the tub is a stationary washboard, 0, composed of rollers journaled loosely in curved bars attached to the side pieces of the tub. The wash-board O is curved in the form of an arc of a circle drawn from the hearing 1) of the rubber B as a center, and the line of travel of the rubbing-board is parallel with said arc.
Between the arms of the rubber B, and above the upper edge of the rubbing-bar, is a movable wash-board, E, composed of rollers journaled in two bars curved in the form of an arc of a circle smaller than. that of the washboard 0. The lower ends of the bars are pivoted to lugs d in the side pieces, near the bottom of the tub, so that the wash-board may be free to swing toward the front and rear of the tub.
The clothes to be washed are placed between the two wash-boards, and the rubbing is done by the rubber B in the ordinary manner. A number of balls (shown in dotted lines) are used. As the wash-board E is pivoted, it can readily swing upward and accommodate itself 5 to any obstructions or irregularities in the mass of clothes. As the rubber B rises the clothes are squeezed between the rubbing-bar and a stationary perforated board, G, arranged near the top and rear end of the tub and under the cover.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- In a washing-machine, the combination,with the curved roller wash-boards G E, the one fixed and the other pivoted at the bottom, of a rubber, B, on the end of a pivoted bar, and arranged to vibrate between the wash-boards, as described.
- WVILLIS CARTER.
