WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 410,902, dated September 10, 1889.
Application filed April 8, 1889. Serial No. 306,385- (No model.) i
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN KNOBLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Wilmot, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Washing-Machine, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to that class of washing-machines which comprise a rotary drum or cylinder mounted in a suds box or boiler; and it consists in certain improvements in the construction of the same, which will be herev trunnion of the rotary drum in position.
The same letters refer to the same parts in all the figures.
A designates a wash-boiler of ordinary construction, the sides of which are provided with vertical notches B, forming bearings for the journals of the revolving drum or cylinder O. The latter is composed of the sides D D, made, preferably, of sheet metal and connected in the manner to be hereinafter described, so as to form a cylindrical vessel of the proper size. The drum or cylinder is made in two parts or sections, one of which forms the body of the cylinder and the other a cover E,which is suitably hinged to the said body, and provided with a spring catch or fastening F, adapted to engage a stud or pin G, which extends from the periphery of said body.
H H designate a series of V-shaped buck ets, of sheet metal, secured between the sides or ends D D of the drum or cylinder and serving to connect the same. The outer sides I of said V-shaped buckets are slightly curved to correspond with the periphery of the drum or cylinder, and theinner sides J of said buckets extend obliquely in an inward direction into the drum or cylinder.
To the upper edges of the inner sides J of the V-shaped buckets II are attached perforated sheet-metal plates K, extending from thence obliquely to the periphery of the cylinder, and from thence to the bottom of the next adjoining bucket, to which it is likewise attached. It will thus be seen that the individual buckets are connected by V-shaped plates of perforated sheet metal, which complete the peripheral casing of the drum or cylinder, while they do not obstruct the mouths of the V-shaped buckets.
To the outer sides of the ends of the cylinder are secured plates or castings L L, having the laterally-extending spindles M, adapted to'loe journaled in the sides of the boiler. One
of said spindles is provided with a crank or handle N,-by which the drum or cylinder may be rotated. The inner sides of the boiler are provided adjacent to the notches B with ver tical flanges O, to accommodate the slides P, by means of which the spindles or journals of the drum or cylinder will be retained securely in their bearings. The upper edges of the slides P have inturned flanges Q, against which the lower edge of the coverR will hear when the said cover is placed in position, as will be seen in Fig. 3 of the-drawings. The cover thus serves to retain the slides P and the latter the rotary cylinder during operation.
In operation the garments which are to be washed are placed in the drum or cylinder, which is adjusted in the boiler, which latter is partly filled with hot suds. When'the drum or cylinder is rotated, the V-shaped buckets will serve to elevate the suds and discharge them through the perforated sheet-metal plates onto the garments contained in the cylinder, which are thus subjected to the continual action of the suds and steam, which are forcibly discharged upon them through the said perforated plates. The latter prevent the garments from entering the V-shaped buckets or obstructing them in any way. By the rotary motion of the drum or cylinder the garments are, moreover, continually rubbed and agitated and all their parts exposed to the cleansing influences of the suds-spray.
Having thus described my invention, I
Clitllll 1. In a washing maclnne, the combination, with a drum or cylinderhaving a series of cirthe next ad joining bucket, said drum or cylinder being provided with a suitable hinged cover, pintles or journals, and a crank or han- (11c, substantially as set forth.
I11 testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
JOHN KNO'BLE. Witnesses:
JOHN SPIDLE, ABRAHAM VON RXNNEL.
