WASHING MACHINE. fi No. 276,329. Patented Apr.24, 1883.
UNITED STATES I PATENT OFFICE.
JESSE BAILY, OF SPIOELAND, INDIANA.
\WASHING-MACHINEI SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 276,329, dated April 24, 1883.
' Applieation filedJuly31,198 2. (No model.)
" of the United States, residing at Spiceland, in
cline inwardly toward each other.
the county of Henry and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Washing-Machines; and I do de- This invention has relation to improvements in washing-machines; and it consists in the construction,combination, and arrangement of the several parts, as will be hereinafter fully described,and specifically pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section on line w m, Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a plan view; and Fig.3 is a detail view, as will be described.
A represents the tub, properly supported on legs a. The bottom a of this tub is curved in the arc of a circle, as shown, and its sides a a project vertically upward therefrom.
b b represent the ends of the tub, which in- The end b is made of equal height with the sides a a while the end b is cut off below the top of the tub. in
cis an ofl'set extended from the end of the tub, and having its base 0 arranged on a horizontal line connecting with the end b and forming the shoulder 0 The end 0 ofthe offset extends from the outer end of base a up to a level with the top of the tub. I provide this ofiset in order to pivot the rubber-supportibg arms farther away from over the tub, so that when the rubber is turned back in the position indicated in dotted lines, and which will be hereinafter described, they and the rubber will be out of the way, and will not prevent ready access to and the handling of the clothing being washed.
at d represent vertical slats secured to and extending nearly the entire length of the ends b I). These slats are arranged a slight distance apart, and permit the water to pass readily back to the bottom of the machine when it has been forced to the opposite ends by the operation of the rubber hereinafter de-.
scribed.
- 6 represents V-shaped slats having their lower sides flattened and secured on the bottom a, and extending from side to side of the tub at right angles to the line of motion of the rubber. The upper surface of these slats is made concave in a curve correspondingto the curvature of the bottom a, and with the motion of the rubber. ture aids to prevent the damage to the clothing, and also permits a steady movementofthe rubber. The sides of these slats are beveled from top to bottom, making the slats V-shaped in cross section, and providing a space between them wider at the bottom than at the top, giving room for the water to settle after being'presscd from the clothing, and the dirt will be accumulated between the slats and will not be disturbed or again thrown over the clothing, but remain in the bottom of the tub until it is drawn oft therefrom, for which purpose I provide a hole properly plugged at one side of the tub. The slatsc are placed a suitable distance apart so that four of them occupy a space corresponding to the length ofspace between the centers ofthe two end rollers, 70, hereinafter described. The slats are placed equidis taut apart, and by the arrangement described any two adjacent rollers will be supported on the first and third slats of a group while the third roller is passing over an intermediate space, and as the motion is continue-d the end rollers will be supported on the first and fourth slats while the middle roller is passing over the space between the two intermediate slats, thus securing a steadier and more even movement of the rubber on the base-slats.
f represents a box arranged atone side and extending the full length of the-machine. It is adapted to hold the soap, wringer, 8:0.
g 9 represent pivoted swinging rods having one end pivoted close to the sides a a within the offset 0 on rod 9, and their opposite ends extended to. about midway the ends of the tub.
11. h represent the rubber bars or handles. They are provided with vertically-elongated slots h, through which is passed the shaft t, which shaft extends through the ends of the bars g, and couples the said bars and the bars h it together at a point intermediate the ends This curva- .dotted lines.
of the handles or bars h, as shown. By pivoting the bars h it within the slot h the rubber thussupportedaccommodatesitself more readily to the changes in washing.
j represents the semi-oval rubber, which is supported on the lower ends of the handles or bars h h, as shown. This rubber is made about as wide as the body of the tub A, and its side boards j j are curved to correspond to the curvature of the bottom a, and to the concavity in tops of slats e, as shown.
j? 3' represent the presser-boards forming the ends of the rubber, and set at right angles to the axial line of the semi-oval rubber-frame. These boards are provided with a series of perforations, j, through which the water flows back when the rubber is being forced from end to endof the tub in the operation of the device. These presser-boards, when the rubber is forced against the ends of the suds-box, rest parallel to and coincide in their incline with the slats d on ends I) b.
k k k represent the base-rollers. They are journaled in the board j, so that their peripheries extend slightly below the lower edge of the boardsj, and are made a suitable size to provide suflicient weight to press the dirt from the clothing, and they are arranged aslight distance apart, as's'hown, so that the water will circulate freely from above and below through the intervening space in the operation of the device.
k represent supplementary rollers made smaller than the rollers k, and journaled in the side boardsjfl'immediately over theintervening space between the rollers 76, and adapted to prevent the clothing from being forced up between the base-rollers and torn or otherwise damaged, and still not prevent the ready flowing of the water through between the said rollers It.
[represents a latch for securing the bars 1 h when turned back in the positions shown in It is pivoted on top of the board 0 to one side ofone ofthe bars 9, and is bent to provide the hooks l P, one on either side of the pivotal point. The hook I is arranged to engage and secure the bar g, while the hook 1 is adapted to secure the bars h when turned back, as will now be described.
It will be seen that I pivot the bars 9 within the offset 0, and that when the bars, with the rubber, are turned back to the first position, marked .90, (indicated in dotted'lines, Fig. 1,) they will be secured by the hook l, embracing the bar 9. When turned back in this position the bars and the rubber will not inter fere with any ordinary handling of the clothing, and when it is desired to turn the bars and rubber into the position shown in dotted lines at y, Fig. 1, with the rubber elevatedaway from over the tub A, the barg is held by one book and the handle it by the other book of the latch Z, as described. The clothing, when it is forced against the ends I) b, which are made straight and inclined inward over the tub, will fall back into the bottom of the tub when the rubberj recedes from the ends thereof, and the water which may be pressed upward from the clothes will be thrown inward toward the mid dle of the suds-box, and thereby the splashing of the water over the sides of thebox is prevented.
The operation of the machine will be readily understood from the drawings and the descrip-.
tion before given.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
1.Inareciprocating-rubber washing-machine, the rubbery, composed of the end boards jj, the vertical presser-boards j j fixed on the 0pposite ends of the boardsjj,and rollers 70 lc,journaled in the sideboards and between the presser-boards j and provided with a suitable handle, h, substantially as set forth.
2. In a washing-machine, the combination of the suds-box, the bars g, having one end pivoted within the suds-box, the handle-bars h, carrying a, suitable rubber and pivoted to the swinging ends of the bars 9, and the latch-bar l, pivotedon the suds-box, and having hooks formed on its opposite ends to engage one of the handle-bars h and bars 9 when the bars it have been inverted and turned down against the side of the suds'box, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony whereot'I affix my signature-in presence of two witnesses.
JESSE BAILY.
