WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 420,302, dated January 28, 1890.
Application tiled August 3, 1889. Serial No. 319,615' (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ELI KEITH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hagerstown, in the county of Wayne and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Washing-Machines; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to that class of washing-machines known as agitators The object of the invention is to improve upon the general' construction of the same.
The invention therefore consists of constructions and combinations, all as will hereinafter be described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l represents a side elevation of the machine; Fig. 2, a section of Fig. l, taken longitudinally; Fig. 3, a top plan of the bottom board; Fig. el, a perspective of the rubber and agitator and its shaft; Fig. 5, a bottom plan of the rubber; Fig. 6, a detail showing the bracket; Fig. '7, an elevation of a bevel gear-wheel; Fig. S, a top plan of same,A and Fig. l9 a perspective of a guide-spool.
A represents the legs; A', the bottom board, having an annular groove and the waste-water opening a, closed by plug a; A2, the cylinder, made of zinc or galvanized iron and seated in the annular groove 0.2 in the bottom board; A3, the rods, having hooks a3 on their upper ends to embrace the rim of the cylinder and passing down through the bottom board, to which they are secured by nuts a4, which also clamp the cylinder in the groove when screwed and set close to the under side of the bottom board.
a5 are radial blocks secured to the upper Y end of the bottom board is secured an upright A4, having a horizontal piece A5, projecting over part of the cylinderA2 and forming part of the cover for the same. In this piece A5, or in an extension of the same, is an opening d10 for the round shank @12 of the bevel gearwheel als to revolveI in. This shank has an opening similar in cross-section to the shaft a9, which moves up and down in and revolves with the bevel gear-wheel, when the latter is oscillated by the miter or bevel wheel AG, journaled in the standards A7 on the part A5, and provided with a handle A8. Upon part A5, or an extension thereof; is a bracket A9, which extends upward and over the bevel-wheel als. The upper end is provided with a detachable section a, for the insertion of the revolving guide-spool a, having flanges al a to prevent it from coming out of the bracket whenthe shaft a9 is moved up or down.
The operation of the machine is as follows: The clothes are placed in the tub formed by the bottom board and the cylinder and the cover placed over the same. The rubber is now reciprocated or oscillated by means of the gear and the clothes rubbed and agitated by means of the same. The smooth inner periphery of the cylinderprevents the clothes from getting choked in the tub, and the rubber, by means of the sliding shaft, adjusts itself to the different thicknesses ot' the clothes in the tub.
What I claim as new isl. In a washing-machine, the combination of a bottom board having the annular groove, a bottomless cylinder resting in said groove, the clamping-rods secured to the top of the cylinder' and bottom board, and a rubber having mechanism for operating it.
2. In a washing-machine, the combination of a bottom board having the annular groove and the radial ribs, a bottomless cylinder resting in said groove, clamping-rods secured to the cylinder and bottom board for holding the cylinder in place, and a rubber having mechanism for operating it.
' Intestimonywhereof Iaftix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
