OSCAR F. GLIDDEN, OF GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR TO THE MICHI- GAN \VASHING MACHINE COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
WASHING-MACHINE.
JPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 435,822; dated September 2, 1890.
Application filed April 19, 1890. Serial No. 348,612. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, OSCAR F. GLIDDEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in VVashing- Machines, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to that class of wash- IO ing-machiues provided with a stirring device having a rotarymotion and operated by suitable mechanism, in connection with a tub or vessel to which the mechanism is applied, and more particularly relates to certain improvements in the stirring device, which stirring device may be operated by the mechanism shown and described in the patent issued upon my application filed May 23, 1887, the patent being dated May 22, 1888; and the ob- 2o jeet of my invention is to provide a packing for the frame ofv the stirring device which will allow the frame to slide vertically upon the guide-rods with very little friction and prevent the wearing of the rods. This object I accomplish by means of the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying; drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the working parts of a washing-machine provided with my 0 invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view on line of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a plan view.
of the metallic frame-work of the stirring device, having the upper plate removed in order to show the position of the packing within the 5 stirring device.
Similar letters refer to similar parts through out the several views.
A represents the cover of the tub.
13 represents a sliding attachment operated by the cam D on the gear-wheel F.
C represents a shoulder or projection on the slide B.
D is a cam or pin on the wheel F.
E is a con necting-rod attaching the slide to 5 the stirrer.
F is a gear-wheel, and G is a beveled gearwheel for the purpose of giving a rotary motion to the stirrer. II is the shaft of the wheel G. This shaft has projecting guide rods,
(shown byI I,) which pass downward through the opening in the stirrer.
J is a coiled spring for forcing the stirrer down after it has been released by the cam.
K represents the metallic frame-work of the stirrer, and L represents a cap rigidly at- 5 5 tached to or made integral with a plate upon the stirrer, designed to protect the rod E and allow for an upward and downward motion of the stirrer without the rod E coming in contact with the clothes. The rod E is used to connect the stirrer with the sliding device B.
The operation of raising and lowering and rotating the stirrer may be the same as described and shown in my patent,No. 383,425, above referred to.
M represents a frietion-packing, which is supported by the metallic frame K. The frame may be made in any suitable form; but I prefer to have it provided with four projections, as shown, and the central part square or 7c diamond-shaped, formed for a packing which will completely fill the space designed to receive it. The plates above and below are cut away so that the guide-rods I can only come in contact with the packing.
In constructing washing-machines the rods 1 I and frame-work of the stirrer are usually made of galvanized iron, in order to secure strength and prevent oxidation. If the iron partof the stirrer should come in contact with So the surface of the guide-rods, the surface of the rods would be abraded, and then they would quickly rust, rendering the whole machine wholly unfit for use; but by providing apacking M, of wood or other suitable material, which will not wear the rods, the galvanized iron will not rust, and the stirrer maybe used indefinitely without injury.
In Fig. 2 Ihave shown the frame K of metal.
The lower part of the receptacle for the packing M may be integral with the rest of the frame and the top part made of a single piece attached to the frame-work K. This attachment may be made by any suitable means, such as nuts and bolts. Instead of making 5 the lower part of this receptacle for the packing M integral with the frame-work K, it may be made of a separate piece, and the top loosely through the packing, and stirrer, and suitable mechanism to raise and rotate the stirrer, substantially as described.
In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my 15 hand and seal in the presence of two Wit- IIGSSGS.
