WASHING MACHINE.
No. 269,445. Patented Dec. 19-, 1882.
WITNESSES 75 MM UNITED STATES PATENT "FF CE.
THOMAS A. MILLER, 0E GRENOLA, KANSAS.
WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 269,445, dated December 19, 1882.
7 Application filed August 18,1882. (Model.)
.To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THOMAS A. MILLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grenola, in the county of Elk and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Washing-Machines; and I do hereby declare that thefollowi'ug is a full,clear, and exact description 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 l of the drawings is a top plan view of my invention, and Fig. 2 a longitudinal section of the same.
The presentinvention has relation to that class of washing-machines for which a patent was granted to me May 24, 1881, No. 241,817, andis designed asanimprovementthereon;and it consists in providing the corrugated endless apron with a netting of cord or other flexible inaterial,which encircles the outer surface ofthe apron and is permanently affixed thereto, so that it will be carried with it when in motion,
thereby facilitating the action on the clothes in the process of washing, as will be hereinafter described.
in the accompanying drawings, A is trough or suds-box, which may be of any suitable shape and size, and, if desired, provided with supports or feet to raise it from the ground. This suds-box A has adjustahly connected to its sides strips a for supporting the ends of corrugated rollers B 0, located above the endless apron, said stripsbeing kept down in place by suitable springs, I), thus allowing the rollers B U to yield to the inequalities of the clothes when passing between the rollers and apron.
The endless apron 1), as in my former patent, is preferably composed of two strips, 0 d, of duck, canvas, or other like material of the proper width and length, between which is secured a filling, e, of rope or any other matereal that will give the desired corrugation to the apron. This corrugated apron passes over and around flat-faced rollersfg h, arranged on the same horizontal plane, and a similar formed roller, z, arranged on a line above the other rollers, and somewhat larger.
The axles or shafts of the corrugated rollers B 0 have respectively gear-wheels It I, the teeth thereon meshing with each other, the
wheel also meshing with a similar gear-wheel, m, on the axle or shaft of the roller 2'. The corrugated roller B is provided with a suitable crank-handle, a, for turning it, which will cause the rollers C i to rotate in an opposite direction, thus giving the desired motion to the endless apron. Unlike my former patent, the apron D has upon its surface a covering of netting, as shown at E. This netting is preferably made of cord, and at certain points is fastened to the apron, so that it will be taken around with it. By the employment of the netting the clothes will not be as likely to slip on the apron and are more certain of being carried around with it.
It should be noticed that the cords forming the netting run at an angle to the corrugations in the apron, thus increasing the frictional surface and insuring a more perfect action upon the clothes in the process of washing them.
If found necessary, the clothes can be looped in the net-ting and carried over and over through the water, which is considered important in washing some class of clothes, especially woolens.
Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as'new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a washingmachine, the combination, with a corrugated endless apron and one or more corrugated pressure-rollers, of a covering for said apron, consisting of a netting of cord running crosswise of said corrugations and at an angle thereto, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
2. In a washing-machine, the combination, with an endless corrugated belt or apron composed of two strips of canvas or duck, and having secured between the same a filling of rope or other similar fibrous material, of acovering for said apron or belt, consisting ofa netting of cord or other like material, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
THOMAS A. MILLER.
Witnesses: H. B. WAKEFIELD, J. A. HAIRRELL.
