WASHING MACHINE,
No. 530,854. Patented Dec. 11, 1894.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
PRESSLEY JOHN RUSSELL AND LOUIS DE vAux, OF-MARYVILLE, MISSOURI.
WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 530,854, dated December 11, 1894.
Application filed August 1,1894- To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, PRESSLEY JOHN RUS- SELL and LOUIS DE VAUX, citizens of the United States of America, residing at Maryville, in the county of Nodaway and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Washing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to washing machines of that class in which an outer receptacle is provided for holding the water and an inner receptacle to contain the clothes to be washed,
- adapted to rotate inside the outer receptacle,
receptacle being secured to the shaft the water being heated in a separate boiler and let into the outer receptacle through a pipe communicating with an opening therein by a hose.
The clothes are washed by the circulation of the water caused by rotating the inner receptacle, openings being provided for the ad-, mission of water in the periphery of said receptacle.
The object of the invention is to improve the general construction of the washing machine and to this end the invention consists of the details of construction as will be described hereinafter and particularly pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings-Figure 1, is a side elevation of the washing machine, parts of the outer receptacle being broken away. Fig. 2, is a plan View with the top of the outer receptacle removed. Figs. 3 and 4 are detail views of the clothes receptacle.
The outer receptacle 1 is provided with an inlet 2 for the entrance of water or steam. The receptacle is connected to a separate boiler, by a hose secured to the boiler and to said inlet. The receptacle 1 has a removable cover 3 that fits into the lower part, a flange around the cover resting on the upper edge of the lower part. Within the receptacle 1 is journaled the clothes receptacle 4, said clothes that has bearing in the receptacle 1." Thes bearings are at the junction of the bottom of said receptacle and the cover. One end of the shaft 5 extends out beyond the side of the outer receptacle and is provided with a crank to rotate the receptacle 4. This receptacle is formed of two sections, one of which is smaller than the'other, and serves as a cover, being Serial No. 519,208- (No model.)
hinged to the larger section at 6, a catch 7 holding the sections together.
Around the periphery of the smaller receptacle and extending entirely across the same are several openings 8 placed at regular intervals formed by bending the metal of the periphery inward thus making the small partitions 7 On each side of the periphery at the joint of the top and bottom sections, a small slot or opening b is left and just above this in the smaller section or top is a slot 0. These correspond to the openings 8, except that they are without the partition 7.
Flaps 9 are hung in each of the openings 8, and these flaps are pivoted to each side of the receptacle; Between every two of the openings 8 in the periphery of said receptacle 4 are circular openings 10 that are provided with guardsll secured to the inside of said receptacle, which serve to keep the clothes contained therein from blocking said opening, and allow the free ingress and egress of the waterat all times.
In operation the clothes are placed within the receptacle 4 and the top shut down and fastened. The cover 3 is now shut down and the hot water or steam allowed to enter. The inner receptacle is then rotated by means of the crank mentioned and the water enters the openings in the periphery of said receptacle, being agitated meanwhile by the flaps 8. The hot water circulating through the clothes soon cleanses them of all dirt when they may be removed by lifting the top of the two receptacles without disturbing the relative position of either.
We claim- In combination with the water receptacle,
the clothes receptacle journaled therein having elongated openings in its periphery, flanges extending radially inward'from the edges of said openings, and the flaps pivoted centrally of the openings and extending inward beyond the flanges, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.

W. H. RYER, HENRY TOEL.
