WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent 110,338,671, dated March 23, 1886.
Application filed July 18, 1884. Serial No. 138,058. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN MOGLURE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indian Grove, in the county of Ohariton and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful XVashing-Machine, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the ac companying drawings.
This invention has relation to washing-machines; and the invention consists in the construction and novel arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a washing-machine embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional View. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical sectional view.
Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A designates the suds-box, which has vertical sides and shallow vertical ends of wood, and a concave bottom, B, of galvanized sheet metal, bottom 0, covered with transverse wooden slats D, let into notches in the convex edges of the side walls, suitable spaces, E, being left between the slats D. The sudsboX A is provided with corner-legs F, which project slightly above the edges of the sudsbox and form abutments for the corners of the two'part removable lid G. Upwardlyconverging strips H H are secured to the inner edges of the legs F and to the sides of the suds-box, outside of the same, and project above the upper edges of the sides of the box, and are connected near their upper ends by short strips I I in such a manner as to form the upper guides, I, for the vertically-reciprocating arm J of the rubberframe. The lower guides, J, for said arms J are secured to the sides of the suds-box and covered by the side rails, K K, which projectat the ends of the suds-box and form the handles by which the machine is moved about on the wheels L L, two of which, L, are journaled to the legs, and L are journaled on the transverse shaft M between the other two legs.
The rubber for this machine consists of a slat-roller, N, formed of transverse slats N, the ends of which are let into notches in the edges of two circular heads, N N on a shaft, 0, journaled in the lower ends of vertical arms P P, secured near their upper ends to a transverse oscillating shaft, Q, which is in turn journaled in openings Q near the upper ends of the vertically-reciprocating arms J. Immediately above the roller-rubber N the vertical arms P P are connected by a transverse brace, R, which materially strengthens said arms. To the oscillating shaft Qand the vertical arms P P are secured two levers, S S, connected at their ends by cross-bars S, which form the handles by which the roller-rubber is oscillated and thereby caused to rotate upon the clothes in the-box. Thelowerends of the vertically-reciprocating armsJ are bifurcated, as shown, and in these bifurcations T the upper ends of hook-rods U are pivoted or hinged by transverse bolts T.
To the shaft M, between the lower ends of two of the legs F, are fulcrumed two levers, V V, which are connected at their power ends by a weighted'footboard, W. Near the middle portions of said levers V V a transverse rod, X, is passed through them, and this rod X is provided on its projecting ends with eyes Z Z, with which the lower ends of the hook rods U engage, thereby forming a treadle of the levers V V and the weighted foot-board \V. The twopart lid G has recesses Z in the inner edges of the parts, two of which match the other two and form elongated slots in the lid, in which slots the vertical arms P P are reciprocated when the machine is operated.
At one side and at the middle of the concave bottom the suds-box is provided with a discharge-opening, A, which is closed by a plug, B.
The operation of the machine is simple and effectual. The clothes are placed in the suds in the suds-boX, and the hand-levers are operated to reciprocate the roller-rubberN, which is rotated upon the clothes and squeezes them upon the stationary rubber on the bottom of the box A. The weighted treadle imparts pressure in addition to that imparted by the hand-lever, and the dirt is squeezed out of the clothes by the action of the rotary reciprocating rubber N forcing the water through the clothes. The
water can be wrung out of the clothes without removing them from the suds-box by withdrawing the plug and permitting the water to Then by placing the foot upon the run out.

strips H, connected near their upper ends, the
side rails, K, and guides J, the arms J, to which the roller-frame is journaled, said arms sliding between the strips H and guides J, a treadle located beneath the suds-box, and rods pivotally connect-ing the arms J and treadle, substantially as set forth.
2. In a washing-machine, the combination of the suds-box, a roller arranged therein and j-ournaled in a suitable frame, vertically-sliding bars connected with said roller-supporting frame and bifurcated at their lower ends, inclined side strips, H,-between which the bars slide, guide-blocks I J, secured, respectively, to the strips H and the suds-box, a treadle comprising two side bars pivoted attheir forward ends toa cross-bar of the suds-box frame and connected at their rear ends by aweighted foot-piece, and rods U, connected at one end to the bifurcated ends of the sliding bars and with staples on the pivoted levers, as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aflixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN MoCLURE.
