SAMUEL T. ARTHUR, OF CREEK, DE VVITT COUNTY, ILLINOIS.
WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part. of Letters Patent No. 336,617, dated February 23, 1886.
Application filed December 1!), liiS i. Serial No. 15 ),7l0. (No model.)
12) all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, SAMUEL T. ARTHUR, a resident of Greek township, (post-office, Clinton,) in the county of De Witt and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Washing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.
My invention consists in certain details of construction and combinations of parts, as hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In the drawings accompanying and forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 rep resents my device in perspective, and Fig. 2 is an end view of the same.
a is a handle by means of which the machine is actuated.
b b are oscillating levers hinged to the box or frame of the washing-machine, and connected, as indicated, with handle a.
c c c is a rod that connects oscillatinglevcrs I) b with the rubbing mechanism of my niachine.
(Z is a rod or bar extending from end to end across the upper portion of my rubbing device.
e 6 indicate the ends of myrubbing device.
fffrepresent the corrugated slats that come in contact with and operate on the clothing to be washed.
9 represents the concave surface that opposes rubbing device of.
h is the box or frame of the washing-machine, provided with and supported by legs r r r r.
i represents a spring provided with coils k and a, bend l, and crank m.
0 shows a slot in the end of box h.
p is a pin extending outward from end 0 through slot 0. 4
q q are brackets on box h, that support the rubbing mechanism when the same is swung back into the position indicated in Fig. 2.
s is a heating device, provided with door t and line 20.
o is a plug that closes the aperture through which water is drawn from the box.
In operation a suitable quantity of water is placed in box h and properly heated. Levers b are then thrown over into the position indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2, and the rubbing mechanism swungback against supporting-brackets q q. After the clothing is put in the box the rubbing mechanism is replaced, springs iswung into position over pins 12, and the washing effected by oscillating the rub bi'ng mechanism through handle a, levers I) b, and connecting-rod c c e.
It is not essential that the different parts of the operation follow in the order above given, and it may be left tothe option ofthe operator as to what parts of the process are first per formed.
The rubbing device is provided at each end with a pimp, and pressureis imparted to each by means of a spring, i, thereby obviating the necessity of the operator imparting pressure by muscular force and simplifying the operation of washing to an oscillation of levers b b.
It will be readily observed that by means of my heating device the operator is enabled to continuously operate the machine with all the advantages that a constant supply of hot water affords.
It is the function of coil 12 to furnish a bear ing for spring i that will, to a great extent, prevent lateral motion in the same.
,Having thus set forth the principles of my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The combination of box h, rubbing device f 0, pins 1), and springs 2', provided with coils n and k, bends Z, and cranks m, as and for the purpose set forth.
SAMUEL T.
ARTHUR.
