JOHN M. OAKLEY, OF BROOKLYN, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JOHN KEAT me, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
REVERSING-GEARING FOR WASHING-MACHINES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 826,672, dated September 22, 1885.
Application filed July 28, 1885. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN M. OAKLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Reversing-Gearing for \Vashing-Machines and for other Purposes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being bad to the accom- IO panying drawings, forming a part of this specification.
My invention relates to improvements in that class of gearing to be applied to washingmachines in which a stationary shell and an r 5 inner revolving cylinder are used, whereby the inside cylinder is made to revolve in opposite directions automatically and alternately, as will be more fully hereinafter described.
The object of my invention is to produce a cheap, simple, and durable device whereby the inside cylinder of a washing'machine or an agitating-machine is made to revolve in Opposite directions automatically and alternately or continuously, and with suitable gears 2 and cam-wheel, starting, stopping, and look ing devices, and one that can be operated by unskilled labor.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cylinder washing-machine with my invention at- 0 tached. Fig. 2 is a side View or elevation of the reversing mechanism. Fig. 3 is a view of the cam-wheel. Fig. 4 is a view of the starting, stopping, and locking device.
A, Fig. 1, represents the outer casing or tank, in which is contained the revolving or inside cylinder, B, both being constructed of wood or other suitable material. The inside cylinder is journaled at both ends of the easing A, and at one end the journal-shaft ex- 0 tends out through the end of the outer casing far enough to receive the gear-wheel G. This gear-wheel is firmly keyed to the journalshaft, as shown at C, Fig. l, and meshes with a pinion, D, keyed to the pulley-shaft, by
5 which means the cylinder B will be caused to revolve, as more fully described hereinafter.
E is an iron frame, made of one or more pieces of metal with journal and bolt holes through it, and with means to attach it firmly to the end of the casing A, and of sufficient strength to support the pulley-shaft and other gearing, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
F is the pulley-shaft, which is journaled into and revolves in the frame F. At or near one end of this shaft and within the frame is the pinion D, firmly keyed to it. At the op posite end is a worm or screw, D. This worm is made upon the hub of the pulley-wheel G, the object of which is described hereinafter. Near the center of the shaft F are the pulley 6c or band wheels G, G, and G The pulleywheel G has less face-surface than the pulley wheels G and G, and it is firmly keyed to the shaft F. On either side of the pulley G are the two idlers or loose pulleys G and G", which turn freely on the shaft.
H is a wheel meshing into and operated by the screw or worm D on the shaft F. This wheel is keyed to a short shaft running at right angles to the shaft F, and supported in the frame E back of the wheel H, and keyed to the same shaft is a bevel or miter wheel, I. This wheel passes partly through the frame E, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the frame being cast partly Open for the purpose. 7
J is a cam-wheel having a bevel or miter wheel, I, attached to one side of it, as shown, and revolves on a stud or short shaft screwed into the frame E, the bevel or miter wheel meshing into the corresponding bevel or miter Wheel I.
The cam-wheel J is constructed internally similar to a belt-wheel, except the supporting arms being placed near one edge to form or cast on or support a bevel or miter wheel. 8 On the outer surface or face of the cam-wheel, at one edge, a bead is formed, rising up onehalf an inch (more or less) and passing around one-third of the circumference,(more or less,) then passing down diagonally across the face 9 of the wheel to the opposite edge, thence around one-third of the circumference, (more or less,) thence at an angle across the face of the cam-wheel to the beginning of the bead, as shown at K, Figs. *1 and 2, thus forming a 5 raised cam-wheel. The same result may be obtained by making a wider-surfaced wheel with a groove cut in it to correspond to the raised bead, but at much greater expense. The top of the frame E is made fiat, and it has turned-up portion.
two guides or loops above the top, one having a hole through it, as shown at M, Fig. 2. On the top of the flat part of the frame is a moving bar, N, held in place by the guides or loops M, under which it moves when connected to the cam-wheel, as hereinafter described.
On the top of this moving bar are two eyepieces bolted to it at suit-able distances apart. Through these eye-pieces is passed a bar or rod having on one end a flattened oval or U- shaped ring, N and N through which the belts are passed. These bars or rods are adjusted by a set-screw in the top of, the eye. Near the outer end of the moving bar N is a double eye-piece, 0, open through the center. Back of the double eye-piece is a hole through the moving bar corresponding with the hole in the top guide orloop. The outer end of the moving bar is turned up, and a groove or channel is made through the center of the the weighted lever P to rest in it, thus controlling and preventing a lateral motion, as
shown at 0, Fig. 2.
P is a weighted lever, having a hole near guide or loop and into the corresponding hole in the bar. At the outer end of the other arm, and at one side, is a flat piece of metal having a hole and bolt through it. On the top of the bolt, above the side piece, is a thumb-screw,
P. On the bottom of the bolt is a short bar having two frictionless pins, P extending a short distance below the bar, as shown. These frictionless pins are made of steel, with a re volving covering or shield around them, and can be turned into the required position by means of the thumb-screw P. The object and use of the pins are described hereinafter. The
weighted leverP having been placed between the double eye-piece near the outerlend of the moving bar N and secured by a bolt, the machine is then ready for operation. A double moving bar may be used on the top of the frame, having guide-holes through which the frictionless pins may drop into position, the pins being placed in the arm of the lever, thus 1 dispensing with the short bar and thumb screw for adjusting the position of the frictionless pins.
All the various parts herein described are made of iron or steel or other suitable material.
travels in an opposite direction, as indicated The object of this groove or channel through the turned-up portion of the moving bar is to allow the outer arm of' i revolution of the cam-wheel. 1 intermediate gearing will regulate the number the bottom and ball or weight on the top,and l with two arms rising upward and outward. i The outer end of one arm is turned down with a pin at the end. The object and use of the pin are to lock the moving bar N by pressing the pin down through the hole in the by its arrow. Should both of thesebelts be driven by the same shaft, one of them must be crossed in order to obtain this opposite mo tion. The belts are caused to remain on the idlers or loose pulleys G and Gr by being .passed through the oval or U-shaped rings N and N, connected to the moving bar N, said bar being held in position by the guides or loops M on the top of the frame E, through which it moves.
To start the machine, the belts having been properly adjusted, the weighted lever P is thrown forward, carrying the arm near the top of the cam-wheel, the frictionless pins being carried with. it. They are adjusted by the thumb-screw, one to each side of the raised bead or cam on the cam-wheel in the act'lof throwing over the lever P. The bar N is moved back, carrying-one belton the idlenG, andthe other belt on the driving-,pulleyG and partly on the idler G keeping both in motion. By the movement given throughthe cam-wheel to the moving bar N the position of the belts is reversed, thus givingtwo ,reversed motions to the cylinder B on every of revolutions.
To stop the machine, throw the weighted lever P back toward the cylinder. Thepin in the end of the lever-arm will enterthe' hole in the guide or loop M and pass through and into a corresponding hole in the moving bar .N, thus locking the movement and leaving the belts on the idlers G and G. The advantages of my invention are its simplicity, strength, and cheapness, everymovementzbeing positive, and not liable. toget outlof order, and it can be operated by inexperienced hands. I
Having fully described my invention, what I desire to claim and secure by Letters Patchines, the weighted lever P, having a hole.
