ARTHUR- E. IIEBBLEXVHITE, OF ARMADA, MICHIGAN.
CLOTHES-POUNDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 414,704, dated November 12, 1889.
Application filed December 31, 1888- Serial No. 295,066. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ARTHUR E. HEBBLE- WHITE, a citizen of the United States, re
siding at Armada, count-yot' Macomb,State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Founders for 'ashing Purposes; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional view of my improved pounder. Fig. 2 is a side elevation with the outer funnel removed.
My invention has for its object to provide a cheap and durable pounder for use in washing clothes and the like, and this I accomplish by a combination of appliances hereinafter described and claimed.
In carrying out my invention, A represents the handle, on the end of which the pounder is located.
B is a socket adapted to receive the handle, and to this socket the outer tunnel C is soldered. Extending longitudinally on either side of the socket B are the slots 11.
D is a funnel, the small end of which is adapted to embrace the socket B and slide A small casting (I, having the diaphragm d, is fastened to the inside of the funnel D in such a manner that the diaphragm will work in the socket B, while the arms (Z will extend through the slots 12 of the socket and be fastened to the inner surface of the funnel.
E is a spiral spring located in the socket, the lower end resting on the diaphragm (Z, and the upper end'striking the handle A. This spring, as will be seen, is adapted to keep the smaller funnel D at its lowermost position.
0 are the vent-orifices through the side of the outer funnel for the escape of air, and c are caps over the same to prevent the water from flying into the operators face.
(I are orifices in the body of the inner funnel, through which the water may pass as the ponnder is moved up and down in the water. These may or may not be provided.
(1" are strengthening-wires on the lower edges of the tunnels.
I am aware that a somewhat similar device has been constructed in which the spring has been located outside of the handle-socket and surrounding the same, the lower end resting on the inner funnel and the upper end resting against the inner surface of the outer funnel; but it has been found in the use of this device that the spring from constant use will soon Wear through or puncture the funnels, and will also come into contact with the clothes and tear them. Also,in the above device the air-escape, being located in the handle, will soon be stopped up and rendered useless, whereas with my apparatus the spring, being located in the socket, is prevented from puncturing the tunnels or tearing the clothes, and my air-escapes will not clog up or get out of order.
I am also aware that it is not new to locate the spring within a stationary tube that is surrounded by an outer funnel which incloses a smaller funnel adapted to slide on said tube, and this I do not claim, broadly.
\Vhat I claim is 1. A clothes-pounder comprising the longitudinally-slotted handle-socket B, the funnel C, rigidly secured to said socket above its slots, the smaller funnel D, loosely embracingthe socket and carrying a diaphragm d, located in the socket and provided with arms (1 that extend through the slots of the socket and are secured to the inner side of said funnel, and the spring E, located in the socket and bearing on said diaphragm, substantially as described.
A clothes -ponnder consisting of the handle A, the socket B, having slots Z? Z), the fixed funnel 0, having vents c and caps c, the sliding funnel D, provided with vents d and carrying a diaphragm d, that is located in the socket B and provided with arms (1 (7?, that extend through the slots 1) b and are secured to said funnel, and the spring E, locatedn in the socket, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
ARTHUR E. I-IEBBLEVIIITE.
