SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 517,081, dated March 27,1894.
Application filed September 19, 1893 Serial No. 485,864- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
1 3e it known that I, HARKER R. WARD,a cit zen of the United States,residin g at Lovelton, 1n the county of Wyoming and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Washing-Machine, of which the following 1s a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in washing machines.
The object of the present invention is to provlde a simple and inexpensive washing machine, capable of rapidly and thoroughly effecting the operation of washing without 1n3ury to the clothes.
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated 1n the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claim hereto appended.
In the drawings-Figure 1 is a perspective View of awashing machine constructed in accordance with this invention, the plunger being swung back and the support being shown extended in full lines. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view; the plunger being in operative position. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective of the removable clothes receiving frame. Fig. 4. is a detail view showing the support folded.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in allthe figures of the drawlngs.
1 designates a washing machine body, supported by legs 2 and 3 and provided at one end with a top piece 4, on which is fulcrumed an operating lever 5, having an arm 6 pivotally connected to a stem 7 of a plunger 8. The lever 5 is pivoted in a suitable bearing or fulcrum 9, and the arm 6 depends from the lever when the latter is in a horizontal or approximately horizontal position for use, as illustrated in Fig. 2 of the accompanying drawings, and it has its outer or lower portion bifurcated to receive the stem 7, which is reduced and is provided with a series of perforations 10 to receive a pin 11. The pin passes through opposite perforations of the bifurcated portion of the arm 6 and adj ustably connects the plunger to the lever.
The plunger is rectangular and fits snugly between the sides of the washing machine body, and is adapted to'force the clothes being washed against a vertical portion 12 of a removable, approximately L-shaped clothes receiving frame 13, which is arranged within the body. The removable clothes receiving frame is composed of a series of parallel longitudinal' bars 14 arranged on the bottom of the washing machine body, a series of vertical bars 15, which are arranged adjacent to one end of the washing machine body and which are secured to the longitudinal bars 14 by L-shaped plates 16 arranged at the angles formed by said bars and located on opposite sides thereof, and transverse bars 17 secured to the vertical bars and forming with the latter an open vertical portion against which clothes being washed are pressed to squeeze the water out of them, and thereby remove the dirt and stains. The water escapes freely through the open vertical portion of the removable frame and runs off readily, the longitudinal bars forming a series of gutters.
ing, is connected to the clothes receiving frame by opposite curved guide bars 18, which are secured to the inner faces of the sides of the washing machine body, and which incline outward and extend to the bottom of the washing machine body, their lower'ends being arranged at opposite sides of the horizontal portion of the clothes receiving frame.
The washing machine is provided at one side with a folding support 19, adapted to receive a clothes-basket, tub or other receptacle, and hinged at its inner end to the washing machine body, and provided at its outer end with pivoted legs. When the support is not in use it is folded against the side of the washing machine body and secured by a hook, which is adaptedto engage a projection of the adjacent leg of the support. are provided with rollers to enable the washing machine to be readily moved from one place to another.
Itwill be seen that the washing machine is exceedingly simple and inexpensive in construction, and is capable of rapidly and thoroughly washingclothes without injuring them.
Changes in the form, proportion, and the The plunger, during the operation of wash- The legs 3 minor details of construction may be resorted to Without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
Having described the invention, what I claim isi In a washing machine, the combination of a washing machine body provided on the inner faces of its sides with downwardly inclined curved guide bars, a removable L shaped clothes receiving frame arranged within the body at one end thereof and supported by the adjacent end and the bottom of the body and composed of a horizontal portion having a series of longitudinal spaced bars, and an open vertical portion having a
