UNITED STATES PATENT ()FFICE.
EDWARD M. COLLES, ROBERT C. KITOHELL, AND DAVID C. APPLEGATE, OF
PRINCETON, INDIANA.
WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 427,745, dated. May 13, 1890.
Application filed September 13, 1889. erial 110,323,810. (No model.)
To aZZ 2072 0122 it may concern.-
Be it known that we, EDWARD M. COLLES, ROBERT C. KITOHELL, and DAVID 0. APPLE- GATE, citizens of the United States, residing at Princeton, in the county of Gibson and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful ashing-Machine, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to improvements in washing-machines; and it consists in certain novel features hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of our improved washingmachine. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail View of the washboard. Fig.4- is a detail sectional view of the same.
Referring to the drawings by letter, A designates the tub, which may be of any desired size and shape and is supported by the legs B, as shown.
On two of its sides the tub is provided with the bars 0, which serve as handles by which the device can be conveniently carried from one point to another.
The tub is provided with a swinging lid D in its top, and the said lid is provided with a central opening E and a circular boss F on its outer side surrounding said opening. The agitator-shaft G is mounted in this opening, and is provided with an annular shoulder H, which bears on the upper side of the boss F, so as to prevent the shaft being pushed too far into the tub. The shaftis provided at its upper end with a lever or handle I, having the knobs J at its ends, which can be conveniently grasped by the operator to vibrate the said lever. At the lower end of the agitatorshaft is secured the block or agitator-head K, which bears against the under side of the lid, so as to prevent the withdrawal of the said shaft, and to the said block we secure the depending radiating-pins L, which are adapted to act on the clothes, so as to agitate the same in the water and throw them against the wash.- board.
The wash-board is composed of a series of cylindrical rubbingbars M, which are flexibl y connected by short links N, which maybe of any desired construction, and the elastic sleeves or washers O, surrounding the said links. The wash-board is fitted around the sides of the tub with the rubbing-bars in a vertical position, so that as the clothes are agitated and thrown toward the sides of the tub they will be carried back and forth over the rubbing-bars and the dirt thoroughly removed therefrom.
The clothes are placed in the tub together with soap and water and, if so desired, a suitable cleansing compound, and the leverI on the upper end of the agitator-shaft is vibrated, so as to impart motion to the agitator and thereby throw the clothes against the wash-board so as to cleanse the same.
It will be observed that our device is very simple in its construction, so that it is not liable to get out of order, and that it can be easily operated by any person. The construction of the wash-board is such that it can be readily removed and rolled or folded into a compact bundle, so that it may be easily transported, and may be fitted to tubs of various sizes and shapes.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim,and desire to secure by Letters Pat out, is-- Th e wash-board for washin gm achines, consisting of cylindrical rubbing-bars flexibly connected by links and the elastic washers arranged around the links between the rubbing-bars, as set forth.
In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own we have hereto affixed our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
