WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 328,471. dated October 20,1885.
Application filed September 17, 1884. Serial No. 143,338. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, JAMES K. DUGDALE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Richmond, in the county of Wayne and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Washing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.
My invention consists of a revolving wheel composed of deep cells reaching from the periphery to nearly the center of the wheel and extending lengthwise its whole length, with the exception ,of the necessary amount of material used for the construction of the same. These cells are provided with orifices or ventholes near the shaft for the purpose of giving free vent to the water out of the cells when the wheel is revolved and pressed on the goods, and also of use by admitting air into the cells when the pressure is off, thereby allowing the goods to free themselves from the wheel. This wheel is journaled in a suitable frame for the purpose of handling and working it.
The mechanism is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A is a frame of any convenient size, and consists of side pieces, B B, and cross-pieces or handles 0 O.
The revolving wheel D is divided into cells E, reaching from the circumference to nearly the center of the wheel, which cells are provided with orifices or vent-holes, either in the disk, as shown in the drawing by letter E, or into an opposite or adjoining cell, shown at E G is a cap or shield, which may be attached to the lower end of frame A, partially covering the orifices E, to prevent splashing.
A convenient size for the revolving wheel is about five or six inches in diameter, and about the same (more or less) in length. It may be divided into any number of cells desired by partitions of sheet metal, the edges of which should be wired, to prevent damage to the goods.
This machine cleanses clothes by forcing suds through the fabric, while friction by the bars (edge of partitions) loosens the dirt, and is operated as follows: A mass of clothing is placed upon the bottom of an ordinary washtub or any other suitable receptacle and covered with suds at a high temperature. The Wheel is then rolled over and pressed down upon the goods, which causes the water to flow upward through the fabric into the cells, and out of the cells through the vent-holes.
Having thus fully described the construction and operation of my improved washingmachine, what I claim as new is The combination, in a washing-machine or clothes-washer, of a revolving wheel composed of cells provided with vent-holes with a frame to support the journals of the wheel.
