UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
AMOS B. PAXON, OF NEWSTEAD, ASSIGNOR O ONE-HALF TO JOHN E. ALTENBERG, OF AKRON, NEW YORK.
WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 270,976, dated January' 2S, 1883.
Application tiled November 10, 188'2. (No model.)
.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, AMos B.PAXON, acitizen of the United States, residing at Newstead, in the county of Erie and State ot' New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Washiug-Machines,ofwhich ,the following is a specification, reference betary action is'giveu to the Water in the tub or box, thereby/'constantly changing the water about and -greatly aiding in cleansing the clothes, all as hereinafter fully explained.
A represents abox or tub having a rounded bottom, and provided with a plug to let out the water. lt is open at the top and .stands on legs.
B is a vertical stationary wash-board standing near the center of the box. It has longitudinal ribs a a n and a series of holes hetween each rib for the water to flow through. At the back ot' this board B, and working close to the bottom of the tub, is a hinged wooden valve, b, its operation to be presently explained.
C is a movable wash-board or dasher attathed to a frame, O', and operated by the handle D, the frame swinging in bearings d in the side pieces ofthe box, as shown. This movable board is also ribbed and perforated, like the board B, and has a. Valve, c, hinged to the back at the upper part of said board, as shown in the drawing. vThus the valve b on the vertical stationary board B isset at the bottom, and the valve c on the movable board C near the top, on the outside, so that when the handle D of the dasher O is raised it closes both of the valves against the boards, leaving a space into, which the water pours, chiefly over the top of the boards, while by dropping the handle the dasher compresses the clothes against the stationary board B, lifting both valves and creating a How of water both ways through the perforations in both boards. A whirling action of the wateris kept up as long as the machine is operated. This describes the operation, which, hy merely lifting the handle, changes the water in and about the clothes hy sucking it and the dirt through the perl'orations, making a reciprocating action by alternately opening and closing the valves b and c by raising and dropping the handle D. The pressure or squeeze of the clothes between theeboards is very great, and the valves giving the rotary action tothe water are very important in aiding to carry away the dirt and dirty water from the clothes.
l do not claim the ribs and perforations, as such are old.
I claim- In a washing-machine, the combination of the tub or box A, stationary ribbed and perforated wash-board B, having a valve, b, secured to the hack thereof, and adapted to close upon the lower halt' of board, with the dasher C, provided with the valve c, secured to the hack thereof, and adapted to close upon the upper halt` of dasher, all constructed to operate substantially as herein set forth.
ln testimony whereof l affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
AMOS B. PAXON.
