JOHN P. HALE, OF MULVANE, KANSAS.
WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 486,564, dated November 22, 1892.
Application filed January 22, 1892. Serial No. 418,911. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN P. HALE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mulvane, in the county of Sumner and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Washing-Machines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to machines for washing clothing; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through a washing-machine constructed according to this invention; and Fig. 2 is an end view of the same, showing the box in section.
A is a rectangular box adapted to receive the clothes to be washed, together with the necessary water and soap or other cleansing material.
B is the lower wash-board, secured within the box A a short distance above its bottom a, leaving a space a between the wash-board and the bottom, in which the dirt collects after being removed from the clothes. The washboard B consists of corrugated slats b and rollers b arran ed in alternate sections.
These slats and rollers may be supported by the sides of the box direct or they may be supported by longitudinal pieces 0, secured to the sides of the box. The central portion of the wash-board B is flat, but its ends 0 are curved upwardly, as shown in the drawings.
D is the lid of the box, hinged at one end to the top of the box by the hinges 01, over the flat central portion of the lower wash-board. D are the ends of the top of the box, which come above the curved ends 0 of the washboard. A fastening device d is provided for holding the lid closed.
E is the convex upper wash-board, consisting of curved end pieces 6, in which the rollers e are journaled. The wash-board E is carried by the lid and is lifted out of the box when the lid is raised. The box A is provided with centrally-arranged trunnions F, which are journaled in the standf.
G is an arm projecting downward from the under side of the box between the trunnions, and g is an adjustable weight secured on the arm G by the screw 9.
The end portions D are smooth, and when the box is rocked the clothes slide back and forth between the wash-boards and turn over at each end of the box, the turning over being accomplished by the curved ends 0, which throw the clothes against the smooth portions D, which permit the clothes to roll over when the box commences its return movement.
The weighted arm assists in rocking the box and prevents it from turning-over. The dirt which accumulates in the space a is prevented from becoming mixed again with the clothes by the lower wash-board.
What I claim is In a washing-machine, the combination, with the stand, of the box centrally pivoted to the stand and provided with a hinged lid and smooth end portions at its top, the convex upper wash-board, consisting of rollers journaled in end pieces secured to the lid, and the lower wash-board, consisting of rollers and slats supported in the box a short distance above the box-bottom, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix mysignature in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN P. HALE.
