Application ruud August 3o, les?. serial No. 248,328. (Nb model.)
To all whom it may concern..-
Be it known that I, JAMES R. CLUXTON, of
'Xeniaq in the county of Greene and State of Ohio,haveinvented certain new anduseful Improvements in Wash-Boards; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the let' ters of reference marked thereon, which forni part of this specification, in which-4 Figure l is a View, front face, of my iinproved washboard. Fig. 2 is a central transverse section of the same. Fig. 3 is a crosssection of the same, taken centrally through one of the rows ofpins. Fig. 1t shows a modifloation of the manner of producing the scrubbing-board. Fig. 5 shows one form of back or scrubbingboard blank. Fig. shows another` form of thesame. Fig. 7 is a detail perspective view of one of the pins D. This invention relates to improvements in Wash-boards, and it has for its objectsto improve the construction of such boards and produce a wash-board which will present a sufficiently rough surface to the clothes to insure their perfect cleansing, which will not abrade or tear the same.
The essential feature of the invention is the surface of the scrubbing-board, and thisis produced as hereinafter described, illustrated in the drawings, and particularly designated in the appended claim.
Referring to the drawings by letter, A designates the frame of the wash-board, which maybe of the ordinary construction and form, and having a scrnbbing-board secured thereto in any proper manner. The surface of this board is made up of numerous semispherical or conoidal projections, as shown, which are arranged in regular horizontal rows, the project-ions in one row lying partly between the four adjoining projections in the preceding and succeeding rows, as shown, and abutting at its base against the base o`f the said projections, and also with the adjoining projections on its opposite sides in its own row, as shown, so that each and every projection, 'except those on the outer edges of the board, is encircled by and impinges at its base against six adjoining projections in its own and preceding and succeeding rows, as is evident from ,the drawings.
I prefer making the scrubbing-board as fol lows:
C designates a blank, made, preferably, of wood, of proper thickness and corresponding in Width and length to the size of scrubbingboard desired. This blank Gis formed with a series of longitudinal or transverse grooves, c c, as shown in Fig. 5, which are in close parallel relation to each other. The grooves c are narrow and deep, as shown, for the reception of the shanks d of headed pins D D, (shown clearly in Fig. 7 which pins have a large semi-spherical or conoidal head corresponding in form to the projections ofthe scrubbingboard. From the center ofthe base of pins D depend the shanks d, as shown, which Shanks correspond to or are slightly greater in diameter than the width of grooves c of blank G. The pins D aresecured on said blank by driving their shanks into grooves c -in close rela-` tion to each other, as shown in Fig. 3. r
In my application for a washboard-making machine, filed August 30, 1887, and numbered serially 248,278, I have described a machine for manufacturing the wash-board above de scribed. In somecases rubber, metal, or porcelain headed ypins may be substituted for the Wooden pins described.
In order to insure the retaining of pins Din place on the blank C, I pr'opose using a waterproof cement, applied to the blank C before the insertion of the pins D. In so me instances the blank C may be formed as shown in Fig. 6, in which the grooves c are omitted, and instead a series of rows of perforations, c', are made in blank C for the reception of pins D. If desired, the 'shanks d of pins'D may be omitted and the heads of the pins cemented direct to the plane surface of blank C in the peculiar relation to leach other shown; but I prefer to make the board as before described. Fig. '4 shows a modification of the manner of forming the scrubbing-hoard. In this figu'rc, is represented a metallic sheet, E, preferably zinc, which has ,been stamped b'etv'veen proper dies, so as to raise on its surface the series of projections e, which exactly correspond in form, relation, and size to the projections of the scrubbing-board, as shown.
The essential feature of my invention is the producing of a scrubbing-surface for wash- IOO boards, lcomposed of a series of semifsph'erical or full half-rounded projections, as shown, which are arranged in horizontal interlockingrows, each projection impinging against its adjoining and surrounding projections and forming deep narrow channels between the projections for the retention of suds and soap on the board.
It is obvious that such a scrubbing-surface may beprodueed in various Ways, of which I have described several. Of these, however, I prefer the board made of wooden pins, which are not liable to mildew or tear the clothes washed-thereon, said wooden pins being produced by turning from a wood-blank in such manner that the grain ofthe wood runs vertically through the pins and at right angles to the grain of blank C,when it is made of wood,
