To all whom, itv may concern,-

Be it known that 1, SELDENA.' BAiLEY,'of

' of Rhode lsland, have invented a new and usei'ul Inip'rorement in VVri'nging-Machines 5' and I do hereby declare `that vthe following is a true and exact description of the same, reference being had to the drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon.l 1

' Figure l exhibits a side elevation of my improved wringer. Fi g. 2 ;is a sectional eind view', representing'the machine as out transversely intwo.- Fig. 3 is 'a regulator .constructed for the purposeof retainin g in gear the cogwheels.

The object of my 4invention is vto construct a roller covered in` such a manner by vulcanized ruhherthatits covering. will not become g loosened or separated fromv the core or cylinder ofthe roller in any manner by use, and to hold together the cog-wheels attiohed to the rollers bfthewringing machine, or any7 elastic rollers of. similar construction,andthus prevent them frornxbeing throwuout of gear.' To accomplish. this object l make a core oroylln'dkerofwood,

o'rl other 'suitable material, in to'which'l bore numherofholes'.;y vThevulcanizedfrubber isf then, While li'eated and in a liquid state, 'molded over the core and adjustsitse'lt to thfefforrnofv the same, and also tills the holes.. Whensettledand cool, the elastic covering becomes 'almostwholly inseparable from the 'account of. its adhesion.

The`.cogwheel regulator is, constructedfo'f a' Ltlat lrectangular piece' of metal, with ahole near eachzend, one 'ofthe holesbeing of an oblong forni. This regulator is placed o n the 'axles' or" the rollers, the axles passing through the holes in the regulator, the oblong'hole of which will allowthe rollers to separate'aecordi'n to the length of the cogs andthe elasticity oi'l the rubber, but'not so far as to allow the cog-wheels to be thrown out of gear. 1 v

In the drawiilgs, A, Figs. 1 and 2, is the base oi" the frame ot the clothes-wringer," sup lported by the legs B B, Figs. l and 2.

' C C, Figs. l, and 2, are uprightl standards'- the lower ends ot' which are vsecurely fastened to the base A, and the tops of which-are'con- `nectedI by the cross-piece D. In eachfof the standards is a lon-g slot, in which the boxes E E of tho'top roller, F, and the-boxes Gr G of the bottomroller, H,.a re fitted.

y I l, Figs. 1 and 2,.are springsplaeed in tLe ofthe sprin gs I lis adjusted vby the-tempering- 'key Kon the-top of them. y boarded'up on each side of -`the rollers, which The standards are is 'only partial.l 'shown vin the drawings at a a, Fig.,2,auda guide, b, istastened'to the boards* ing to conduct the cloth or clothes between the rollers.-

y A sectional View ofthe roller is represented in Fig. `i2, showing the nianncof t'lie'irconstruction.- L L are the cylinders around which the india-rubber is' molded to form the rollers E' and H. lM M are the holes in the cylinders lled with` india-rubber..

By turning )the'crankhb attached tothe end of the axl'e of the lower roller, whichv extends' beyond the outside oflone, ot the,fstandards, both rollers .are made to revolve bythe oogwheel on each workingtogethern The cloth or clothesbcin g squeezed 'passes-between .the

rollers,l and the water squeezedfrom the clothruns fromthe under roller through the'spout O away from the machine.

'Y A rollerv constructed in the man ner describedis more "'easilyibrined, more durable, and cheaperv than if constructed in the ordinary' manner.'- *Another important advantage of lmy clothes-wrin ger is the cog-Wheel regulator, Awhich prevents the' oog-wheels from 'separat-'- ingr so far as to be thrown out of gear, in

l which case there would be a heavy strainonv the lower roller, and also on' the clothes It also main ta-ins a uniform friction and preventsv the passing between the rollers.

water from vilying through'the slots at the ends of the rollers.

.I do'not wish to confine myself to any par tieular 'form in constructingthe regulator,

'but may use'a metallic plate or a strap of that will an- What: I claim as new in my invention, anrl- 2.
