UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SQUIRE GAMBELL, OF OTISOO, NEW YORK.
IMPROVED WASHING-MACHINE.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 45,990, dated January 24, 1865.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, SQUIEE GAMBELL, of Otisco, in the county ot' Onondaga and State ot' New York, have invented a new and Improved Olotlies-VVashing Machine; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,
` clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speciiication, in which- Figure l is a vertical section of my invention, taken in the line x x, Fig. 2 and Fig. 2 a front View ot' the same, partly in section.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
This invention relates to a new and improved clothes-washing machine; and it consists in the employment or use of a'suspended oscillating suds-box of semifcylindrical form, in connection with a xed or stationary dashboard attached to the suds-box, and with -or without a wash-board, all being arranged in such a manner as to operate very efficiently and without injuring1 the clothes.
A A represent two uprights, which are attached to suitable bases, B B, and connected by cross-bars a a, and O is a semi-cylindrical sudsebox formed of two semicircular sides, b b, with a seinicireular bottom, c of zinc or other material, attached to it. This suds-box is suspended by pivots d between the uprights A A, and to one end ofthe suds-box there is secured a cylindrical bar, e, to serve as a handle. To the upper cross-bar, a, ot' the uprights A A there are secured two pendants, D D, which extend down within the suds-box O, and have a board, E, secured horizontally to their lower parts. rated with holes j and its lower edge just clears the bottom c of the suds-box, and its endsjust clear the sides ofthe latter.
Vithin the suds-box at the end where the handle or bar c is secured or attached, there is placed an inclined wash-board, F, iiuted or corrugated like the ordinary hand washboards, and below the lower end of the washboard F there arc placed, one above the other,
This board E is perfo-- a series of horizont-al slats, g, as shown clearly in Fig. l.
The suds-box is supplied with a requisite quantity of suds, and the clothes to be washed are placed within the suds-box between the board E and the horizontal slats g. The sudsbox O is then oscillated and the clothes intermittingly compressed between the board E and slats g, the water or suds passing, as it is compressed from the clothes, between theslats g and the perforated board E. By this arrangement'the clothes will be thoroughly washed without danger of being` injured or torn, and the work done in a thorough manner.
To the lower part of one upright A there Y.
is attached by a pivot-bolt, h, a bar or lever, G, the opposite end of said bar working in a guide, i, attached to the other upright, and having a rod, j, secured to it, which extends up by the side of the upright. This bar or lever G has an upright lip, k, which, when the bar or lever Gr is held up, by fitting the upper end ofthe rod j, which is bent in hook forni, in a hole in its uprights A, serves as a stop for the suds-box and holds the same in an inclined position, projections l on the exterior of the bottom of the suds-box catching against the lip k. tions may be attached to the suds-boX in order to hold the same in a more or less inclined position, either to rub clothes by hand 0n the board F or to allow the suds to escape from the suds-box through a hole,
I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The oscillating sudsbox A, provided with the horizontal slats g and wash-board F, in combination with the fixed or stationary dashboard E, all arranged substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The pivoted bar G with upright lip 7L', attached in connection with the projections l, one or more, on the exterior of the suds-box, for the purpose specified.
