ASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 508,756, dated November 14, 1893. Application filed July 1, 13392- Serial No. 438,684. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JAMES REED, a citizen of the United States, residing at Eagle, in the county of Clinton and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Washing-Machines, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings. This invention relates to anew and useful improvement 'in washing machines and the invention consists in the peculiar arrangement, construction and combination of the various parts all as more fully hereinafter described. p
In the drawings, Figure l isa front elevaelevation thereof showing the cover raised. Fig. 3 is a verticahcentral, longitudinal section through Fig. 1. Fig.4 is a central cross section on line at: m'of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 isa detached perspective view of-thetub. Fig. 6 is an enlarged section through one'of the pounders. 1
A are the supporting legs which support a box shaped body formed of sides B and ends 0.
This box-shaped body is preferably rectangular in cross section and within it is the tub D, preferably'of sheet metal'connected and supported at its upper edge by an exterior frame E which rests upon the upper edge of the box, as shown in Fig. 3.
F is the top which at its rear edge is provided with'hinges G having the straps H extending below its lower edge and loosely engaging in the sockets 11' formed on the frame E of the tub. Thus the top is hinged to the tub or frame E andflat the same time is detachable therefrom byd'rawing the strap H out of socket of II When the top is turned upon the hinges to its open position, as shown in Fig. 4 it is held from falling backward by the brace I detachably secured at its upper end to the edge of a flange or apron 1 which extends around the four sides of and is secured on the top, the lower end of the brace being attached to the side of the tubD near the front. The top is provided with a cover I having a central supporting brace I in its open position, as shown in Fig. 2 the lower end'of the brace being secured toa crossbar L in the top. The top is provided.
interiorly with a rectangular frame G in which is journaled a series of crauk.shafts J extending from end to end of the top and at one end, outside of the top, are provided with the intermeshing gear wheels K, one of which is provided with a crank K',by means of which a rotary motion maybe imparted to all the shafts simultaneously. Each crank of these shafts is provided with a pounder or dasher, preferably of the construction shown in Fig. 6, and consisting of the inverted cone shaped body 0. having acylinder b extending through its upper end, and within the body at having 'a reinforcing flange 0, having its lower end connected with the interior of the body, as plainly shown in Fig. 6.
In the cylinder or tube b is a supporting Lshank 01 secured in any suitable manner, and
at its upper end provided with a detachably bearing block e which is clamped by means of bolts f upon the crank of the shaft, a suitable packing g being interposed. The crank shaft passes through the cross bar L which forms a central bearing for the shafts. crossbar may be made in two parts, grooved on the upper andlower edges respectively so that the shafts may be readily placed therein. It is evident thus far that if the top is down, the parts being in the position shown in Fig. 3, motion being imparted to the crank K, all the crank shafts will be rotated and the pounders will be rapidly raised or lowered, approaching and receding from the bottom of the tub, upon which the clothes rest.
I preferably employ a false bottom M of wire netting of other suitably perforated material; This false bottom M is secured to the frame N which rests upon the bottom of the tub D. In case the top should raise or lower more or less by the force of the blows of the pounders upon the clothes this will be taken up by the sliding movement between the strap of the hinges and the socket H on the tub, so that the top will not be displaced in operation. The cover being closed it may be locked in position by the turn button M. To put the The clothes in, the top is turned upon the hinge as shown in Fig. 4, cross-bars M being arranged between each series of pounders, secured to the lower edge of flange or apron I depending from the sides of the cover F preventing their being displaced when the top is in this position. The apron I forms a rigid support for the bars M also assists in holding the cover in place and in conducting drip into the tub past the joint between the cover and tub.
The top may be removed when desired by disengaging the upper end of the brace I from the top and lifting the strap H from the socket H; The tub is provided with suitable handles N at its ends,.by means of which it may be lifted from the box shaped body and if desired placed upon the stove or carried to any desired point. It is provided with a suitable exit aperture, controlled by the stopper or plug 0.
O is a frame slidingly engaging in suitable hearings in the end of the box shaped body beneath the tub and provided at one end with legs P secured thereto. This frame may be drawn out as shown in Fig. 1 to support an ordinary tub or clothes basket, or when not in use this may be pushed into the body, as shown in Fig. 3. The frame is provided with the cross piece 0 extending out beyond the frame on opposite sides and resting on the cleats O secured to the sidesB of the box.
Q is an end extension on the body, having a cross bar Q which forms the wringer board at one end of the tub.
R is an over-hanging guard at one end of the top which protects the gear wheel and prevents possibility of the clothes being caught therein.
What I claim as my invention is- 1. A washing machine consistingof a rectangular supporting body, a tub with n the body, having an exterior frame E resting on the upper edges of the body, a false bottom for the tub consisting of foraminous material,
a top F having a detachable connection with the frame E, a depending flange on the top extending into the tub, cross bars M connected to the lower edge of the flange, a brace connected to the side of the tub and the depending flange for supporting the top 1n an open position, a series of crank shafts mounted in the top, intermeshing gears on the crank shafts, a crank on one shaft and a hinged cover for the top, substantially as described. 2. In a washing machine, the COIilllldfitlOIl with the supporting body, of a top hinged thereto, said hinge having a detachable engagement with the tub, of the series of crank shafts mounted in the top, intermeshing gears K on the shafts, the crank K on one shaft, the pounders pivoted to the cranks, the fixed cross bars M between the rows of'pounders, the supporting strap I, detachably engaging at its upper end with thetop,thecoverIand the supporting strap 1 substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix mysignatu re H1 presence of two witnesses.
