WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 321,782, dated July '7, 1885.
Applicaiiin filed April 21. 1884. (No model.) I
of that class in which a fluted roll is brought into operative engagement withv one, two, or more pressure-rolls, the parts being supported in asnitable frame adapted to be placed in a tub or similar receptacle in such manner that the articles to be submitted to the action of the mechanism shall pass between the fluted and the pressure roll in the same direction.
My invention consists in the novel features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described, and definitely pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a central vertical section taken through the tub, the mechanism being shown in elevation.
Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a detail section of the fluted roll. Fig. 4 is an end elevation of the same. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective of the journal-bearing with its attaching-disk. Fig. 6 is a detail perspective of one of the pressure-rolls, with one of its end bearings removed to show the construction and application thereof.
In the said drawings, the referencenumber 1 indicates the tub, which may be of oval, round, or other suitable shape,and constructed, in the usual manner, of staves 2, chamfered and channeled to receive a bottom, 3. IVithin the tub and upon opposite sides are placed supporting-posts 4, of suitable height, one having a central lug, 5, with a supportingshonlder, 6, upon each side thereof,'and the other being provided with a similar construction, with the addition of a cross-head, 7, mounted upon thelug 5. These posts receive and give firm support to the washing mechanism. This mechanism is mounted upon a lower strip or strips, 8, having their ends projecting and provided with open slots or spaces 9, which receive the lugs 5 upon the supports within the tub. Upon this plate and near its ends are mounted standards 1], in which the operative parts have their bearings. These consist, first, of a lower roll, 12, of comparatively large diameter, having longitudinal flutes or corrugations 12, and journaled upon shafts 13 and 14, projecting from its ends, and having bearing in the end standards, 11. In order to avoid the necessity of using a continuous shaft, extending completely through the roll, I have provided the construction described below, by which I obtain afirm, rigid, and permanently strong union of these parts.
Upon either one or both of the shafts supporting the roll 12 is formed, intermediate of its ends, a disk, 15, having its diameter equal, or nearly so, to the diameterof the solid body of the roll. Upon the inner face of this disk are formed or attached plates or keys 16, radiating from the shaft, as shown in Fig. 5. The number of these keys may be varied according to circumstances; but I have shown four as being equal to all ordinary requirements, and for the reason that the kerfs in the 'end of the roll may be cut a little more easily for this number.
In the end of the roll and concentric with it is formed an opening, 17 to receive the end of the shaft 13 and 1 1, and radiating from the axis of the roll I form kerfs 1S,having an angle of ninety degrees between each two. These kerfs are cut deep enough to admit the keyplates 16, and of such width that said plates will enter witha suitable degree of friction. The shaft being inserted and forced into the opening 17, the disk 15 is brought flatly against the end of the roll, and screws being passed through openings 19 in saiddisk, it is held in place and gives a strong and rigid support to the shaft, while at the same time the keyplates lying in the kerfs remove all torsional strain from the shaft and from the attaching screws.
I have shown in Fig. 6 a similar construction, as applied to the upper or pressure rolls, 20. These rolls, of which I may employ two, three, or more, are smooth-surfaced and of comparatively small diameter. They are journaled in boxes 21, which have vertical motion in ways 22 in the standards. The boxes 21 are connected by a bar, 23, attached to their top, and the rolls, which lie in the are of a circle, rest upon the top of the fluted. roll 12, and are held down with an elastic force by means of a lever, 24, pivoted to one of the standards, and having its opposite end conlever.
neoted with a spiral spring, 25, by which it is normally thrown downward with a force equal to the tension of the sprin Lugs 26, upon the lever 24, rest upon the bar 23, and exert a constant force upon the pressure-rolls.
The fluted roll 12 is provided with a series of equidistant circumferential channels, 27, out somewhat below the depth of the flutes of said roll. lVithin each channel is placed a metallic rod or wire, 28, having their lower ends connected to the strip or strips 8 below the opposite sides of the roll. It will be seen by reference to Fig. 2 that these wires form eilicient guards, which prevent the clothing in the tub from being carried beneath said roll, the consequence being that the articles being washed will pass over the lower roll and between it and the pressure-rolls.
In order to vary and increase the pressure between the rolls, I mount upon the lever 24 a hand-lever, 29, pivoted to the former at a point between the bearing-lugs 26 and the end of the By swinging this hand-lever into a position transverse to the spring-actuated lever, its end will lie just beneath the strength ening-strip 30, which connects the upper ends of the standards 11., and downward pressure upon the opposite end will exert a force upon the lever 24 in addition to the force of the spring. \Vhen not in use, the hand-lever lies upon the back of the lever 24, as shown in Fig. 1.
The operating-crank 36 is applied to the end of the shaft 14, which projects through an, opening, 37, in the side of the tub.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is The combination, with the pressure roll or rolls, of a lever pivoted at one end and having a spring connection at the other, and an auxiliary lever pivotally mounted upon the springactuated lever, and adapted to be turned transversely thereto to give it a fulcrum-heariug upon the frame, substantially asdescribed.
In testimony whereof I aifix my signature in presence ol' two witnesses.
JOHN S. BEAZELL.
