UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE HrKIDNEY, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
IMPROVED WASHING-MACHINE.
l Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 36.568, dated S ptembcr 30, 1862.
To all whom it may concern.: Y
Be it known that I, GEORGE H. KIDNEY, of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Washing-Machine for Washing Textile Fabrics, Src.; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying' drawings,and to theletters of reference marked thereonlike letters referring to like partsin which Eigure 1 is a transverse end view, Fig. 2 a transverse side view, Fig. 3 a top view, Fig. 4 a perspective view, of the mode by which the fabric is secured to the cylinder; and Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the machine.
The nature of my'invention consists in the construction of a washing-machine provided with acylinder, the exterior of which cylinder is covered with balls for the purpose of forming a rough surface, and under which cylinder is secured a bed-plate, which also is formed by passing balls onto cords, forming a rough-surfaced self-adjusting bedplate, and between which cylinder and bed-plate the fabric to be washed is passed by the action of the cylinder, thus applying Vfriction to the fabric for the purpose of washing and cleaning the same.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to de scribe its construction and operation.
M, Fig. 1, is a box provided with four legs. A is a cylinder. Y G is a shaft, to which a shank and handle are y attached. Shaft G passes Athrough and is Secured to cylinder A, resting on the edge of boxM. The balls d d dv d d are strung on cords B B B B B, and are secured to the cylinder by said cords being passed through holes in the bars J J.
I is a bar used for the purpose ot' securing the article to be washed to the cylinder. One end of this bar is provided with a bolt, which bolt passes through one end of the cylinder A, and the other end of the bar I is secured by means of hook K, as represented in Figs. 4 and l5. The balls C C C C form the bedplate. These balls are strung on cords c e c e e e, one end of which cords is held by the crossbar E and the other ends are passed over the pulleys L L L L on the cross-bar O, and are held in a correct position by means of weights P, Fig. 2. The slots N N in box Mshow the Y into the box and the articles to be Washed are pressed between the cylinder and the bed-- plate without producing the injury to the goods in washing that is usual by theuse of the common hand wash-board, and with more ease and a saving of labor to the person ernpioyed to do such work.
The machine may be made of any desirable size that use and experience may dictate to make a cheap and efficient machine.
AI do not claim to be the iirst and original inventor of a washing-niachine, as many value less inventions for such purposes have heretofore been put in use; but
What I claim asmy improvement, and de` sire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
1. The rough-surfaced self-adj usting bedplate, when the same isconstructed substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.-
2. The combination of the rough-surfaced self-adjusting bed-plate and vthe rough-surfaced cylinder, when the several parts are constructed and arranged substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
G. H. KIDNEY.
