G. P. LANE. WASHING MACHINE.
No. 477,013. Patented June 14, 189 2.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES F. LANE, OF TULARE, CALIFORNIA.
WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 77,0 13, dated June 14, 1892.
Application filed $epte1nher 29, 1890. Serial No. 366,486. (No model.)
T0 11 whom at may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES F. LANE, a citizen of the United States, residing at 'lulare, in the county of Tulare and State of California, have invented a new and useful Improvement in \Vashing-ll/lachines, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in washing-machines; and the object of my pres ent invention is to provide an inexpensive, durable, easily-manipulated, and convenient machine for washing clothes without rubbing them and without subjecting them to wear of any consequence by causing soapsuds to pass through the texture of the fabrics by the press- 11 re of compressed air.
A sheet of drawings accompanies this specification as a'part thereof.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved machine. Fig. 2 is a vertical central longitudinal section of the suds-box, and Fig. 3 represents the valves by which the air is admitted and retained in the suds-box.
My machine consists of the suds-box A, made in the form of a half-cylinder flattened upon the under side and suspended by gudgeons B at the center of the circles formed by the sides of the suds-box and resting in the bearings m on the stand or frame 0, which consists of the side pieces 2, the end pieces y, and the uprights or legs The suds-box is hollow and may be made of any suitable material, but preferably of wood, with a corrugated bottom to on the inside, which, by retarding the movement of the clothes, facilitates their turning over and their thorough penetration by the suds. The top of the sudsbox is closed with a fixed cover 8, except in the middle part, where the suds and clothes are put in and taken out through the oblong opening c, which opening is opened and closed by the lid a, which is fasten d at either end by thumb-buttons k, and removed and replaced by means of the knob 25. In the center of each of the fixed portions or ends of the cover 8 is an air-hole 0', covered underneath with a leather valve D,which opens downward and is fastened by the tongue 1 to the under side of the cover by tacks or other suitable fasteners. On the inside of the suds-box,beneath the cover, extending across the sudsbox, and projecting laterally from the sides of the oblong frame 17, which forms the open ing '0, are shelves or partitions 0, which slope slightly downward and extend toward to the sides of the suds-box and form chambers n for the air which is driven back and compressed by the oscillations of the suds-box by means of the lover or handle E, supported by the uprights F,which are fastened to the ends of the suds-box above the gudgcons B.
After the soiled clothes or fabrics which it is desired to clean have been placed inside of the suds-box with sufficient suds to fill the box ordinarily from one-third to one-half full the cleaning of the clothes is effected by forcing the suds through them by means of the air which has entered through the valves l) and become compressed alternatelyin the airchambers formed by the shelves 0 by rocking or oscillating the suds-box by means of the handle E, so that when one side of the sudsbox is depressed the air rushes into the other side through the valve, and when the action is reversed the air so admitted becomes compressed and forces the suds through the clothes until the condensed air produced by depressing theother side meets and forces the suds back through the clothes in the opposite direction, and so on alternately.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
' In an improved washing-machine, the combination, with a suds'box having a corrugated bottom, of the end covering-pieces provided with air-vents, the valves arranged upon the under sides of said end pieces beneath the air-vents, the removablelid arranged between the end pieces, the inclined shelves arranged beneath each end piece, the supporting-frame, and the gudgeons attached to the suds-box, all arranged substantially as shown and described.
