N. PROPST. CLOTHES POUNDER.
No. 429,476. Patented June a, 1890 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
NICHOLAS PROPST, OF DECATUR, ILLINOIS.
CLOTH ES-POUNDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 429,476, dated June 3, 1890.
Application filed July 23, 1888- Serial No. 280,855. (No model.)
To aZZ whom. it may concern.-
Be it known that I, NICHOLAS PROPST, a citizen of the United States, residing at Decatur, in the county of Macon and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful WVashing-Machine, of which the following is a specification. I
My invention relates to improvements in washing-machines in which the expansive force of compressed air is combined with the vertical mechanical pressure of the whole machine; and the objects of my improvement are, first, to secure greater space for the compression of air; second, to provide as far as possible an unobstructed passage of the water when expelled by the air from the machine; third, to provide a more effective means for mechanical pressure, and, fourth, to strengthen the machine by efiective braces. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side view of the entire machine. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the line a: m of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of the pounder.
Similar letters refer to similar parts.
The entire machine is constructed of sheet metal, preferably tin. The handle A is connected with the pounders B by the vertical hollow tubes O, each of which forms a continuation of the air-chamber of the pounder. The rounder is composed of two conicalshaped sections D and E. The base of thecone-section D is united with the upper end of the cone-sectionEby the downwardly-flaring ring at and the vertical band 6. The upper conical section D is provided so as to obtain as great power as possible to the expansive force of the air. The vertical tubes 0 extend through the two conical sections D and E, being soldered to the upper end of the section D, and secured to the lower end or base of section E by the radial bars f, which are flush with and in the plane of the lower edges of the tube 0 and section E. These bars are thin and wide and are placed with their width in a vertical'direction, so as to give the least possible friction to the water, and admitting of a great number being employed, whereby much greater mechanical pressure is obtained. The band 6 is provided to give greater strength to the air-chamber or sections D and E and better form to the pounder B. The tubular bar F unites the vertical tubes 0 just above the pounders and the angles between the tubes 0, and the handle A and bar F are strengthened by the braces g, which are soldered in place, substantially as shown in the drawings. These braces g were found necessary to give sufficient stability to the machine when vigorous hands were used in operating it.
The machine may be used in any common wash-tub after the well-known manner of handling pounders to force the dirt from the clothing.
Having described my invention, what- I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
The hereinbefore specified washing machine, composed of a series of pounders, each comprising the conical air-chambers D and E,
a series of tubes 0, one for-each pounder and extending verticallythrough the chambers of the pounders, being connected with the upper ends of the said pounders, a series of beater-bars f between and connecting the lower end of the tubes with the lower edges of the pounders, said bars being thin and wide and placed with their width in a vertical direction, the tube F uniting with the tubes 0 just above the pounders, the tubular handle A, parallel with the tube F and uniting with and connecting the upper ends of the tubes 0, and the braces g in the angles between the tubes 0 and the tubes A and F, substantially as shown, and for the purpose described.
Decatur, Illinois.
