WASHING MACHINE.

WITNESSES 4, @wmdg qdmmi Sm llNrrED STATES PA'rnNr @rrrcn,
SAMUEL H. KERR, OF PINEY, PENNSYLVANIA.
WASHING-MACHINE.
$PECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 356,648, dated January 25, 1887.
Application filed February 26, 1886. Serial No. 193,298. [No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, SAMUEL H. KERR, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Piney, in the county of Clarion and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in ushing-Machines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertztins to make and use the some, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a longitudinal vertical sectional view of my improved washing-machine. Fig.
2 is a top viewof the same with the rubber removed; and Fig. Sisa perspective view of the rubber, showing parts broken away.
Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts in all the figures.
My invention has relation to that class of reciprocatingrubber washing machines in which a rubber provided with a round slat bottom rcciprocatcs in a suds-box having a round bottom provided with cross-slats; and it consists in the improved construction and combination of parts of the some, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, the letter A indicates the suds-box, which is formed with a round metallic bottom, B, secured with its edges to the round edges of the side pieces, 0 O, ind the entire box is supported upon legs D, secured to the sides of the suds-box Transverse slats E, having their upper sides rounded, are secured in the bottom of the box, with spaces between them, and the upper edges of the sides of the sudsbox are formed with vertical slots F, having their lower ends rounded to form bearings for the trunnions of the rubber, and the outer sides of these slots are covered by two short uprights, the inner sides of which are formed with vertical grooves G, forming confirmations of the-slots, the said uprights H, with their grooves and the slots, forming ways for the trunnions of the rubber to the bearings, the upper ends of the grooves being rounded at the sides for the easier insertion of the trunnions.
The sides IIof the rubber are connected by means of a central shaft, J the ends of which Cross-pieces O are secured to the upper edges of the rubber,with their ends over theupper ends of the grooves 1Q. Asheet of zinc, M, is secured by its side edges in the rabbets and grooves, and by its ends to the under sides of the cross-pieces 0. It may also be secured to the inner surfaces of the slats P.
Crossslats P are secured with their ends to the edges of the side pieces of the rubber, and
are provided with a number of conical studs, Q, the inner reduced ends of which fit into perforations in the cross-slats, and these studs serve, together with the cross-slats, to carry the clothes with the rubber when the letter is reciprocated over the cross-slats of the bottom, rubbing them against the same, and thus cleaning them. r
, The sheet-metal covering of the bottom of therubber will render the said rubber buoyant, so that it will not rest too heavily upon the clothes, but be supported by the suds in the box, preventing the possibility of tearing the clothes, and at the some time rendering it easy to reciprocate, and the suds-box need not contain as much water when the bottom of the rubber is covered as it would need, if the rubberwere open, as the space within the rubher, which, with an open rubber, would be filled with water, which is useless, is in this machine closed and will not contain any water. The sheet-metal covering will also serve to brace the rounded edges of the side pieces of the rubber, and on account of the edgesof the ends of the sheet-metal covering being inserted into the inner sides of the side pieces of the rubber the said covering will not easily be torn ofi from the rounded edges of the said side pieces.
Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- In a reciprocating-rubber washing-machine,
a rubber consisting of semicircular side pieces pieces and slats, substantially as and for the having grooves across thecorners upon their purpose-set forth;
inner faces, and rabbets on the lower edges In testimony that I claimthe foregoing asmy forming continuations of said grooves, crossown I have hereunto affixed my signature in 5 pieces secured to the upper edges of said side presence of two witnesses.
pieces, with their ends over the upper ends of said grooves, slats secured to the bottom edges SAMUEP KERR" of said side pieces, conical studs projecting Vitnesses: from said slats, and a sheet of zinc secured in E. L. FOX,
[0 said rabbets and grooves and to said cross- SAML. K. CLARKE.
