WRING ER.
srEoIFIcATIoN forming part of Letters Patent No. 53?,524, dated April 16, 1 895.
Application filed April 13, 1894.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, EDGAR S. (Jones, acitizen of the United States, residingat Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York,haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Wringers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to wringers, and consists in various features hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In the drawings,-Figure 1 is a face view of my improved wringer; Fig. 2, a horizontal sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a vertical longitudinal sectional view; and Fig. 4, a vertical sectional view on the line 4-4 of Fig. l.
A indicates the main frame of the wringer, comprising the upright bars or posts a a and the connecting top piece or cross-bar b. The uprights a a are hollow, and are slotted vertically as at c to receive the ends of the shafts or axles B 0 of the rolls D E.
Roll E has its shaft or axle 0 supported upon rollers d, Figs. 3 and 4, the stud axles of which rest upon wooden blocks 6 seated in the uprights, as shown in Fig. 3.
Resting upon the upper side of the ends of shaft B of roll D, is a second set of bearing rollers j which are carried in the housings g; the said housings projecting through the slots 0 in the uprights, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, and being provided at their upper ends with a small wheel h. i
F F indicate a pair of elbow levers, pivoted at the junction of their arms 1' andj upon a pin or bolt it carried by arms Z which depend fromthe top barb. The armsj of the levers bear, respectively, upon the housings g of the upper bearing-rollers f; while the arms 2' extend upward to receive, each, one end of a spring m,--the opposite ends of the springs being connected to the main frame at the sides of the machine.
It is obvious that the springs, acting through the levers, and the upper bearingrollers and their housings, will keep the upper wringer-rollD down into contact with the Serial No. 507,445. (No model.)
companion rollE, with a firm but yielding pressure; also, that either end of the upper roll D may rise to adapt the wringer to varylog thicknesses of clothes, without affecting the opposite end, or its pressure mechanism; the two pressure mechanisms being wholly independent of each other.
By employing two short and independent. 55
springs I am enabled to wring a thin article perfectly dry, as well as a heavy article, and do it easily.
It is very desirable to relieve the wringer rolls of pressure when not in use, and to secure this result the upright arms t' of the levers are encircled by a metallic ring G. By placing a comparatively thick piece of cloth between the rolls, the upper roll will be raised,
and the arms 1' i of the lovers thrown toward each other. The ring is now moved upward, toward the upper ends of the arms it, and is held there by hand until the cloth has passed from between the rolls. At this instant the springs tend to force the upper roll downthe position in which it was placed. The
upper roll, however, being unsupported, will fall upon the lower roll, but will rest thereon only with the pressure due to its own weight. When ready for use, the ring G is slipped downward toward the pivot is, whereupon the spring pressure is restored to the rolls.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. In a wringer, the combination of the main frame A provided with cross bar 6, arms Z Z,
and pin or bolt is; rollers D and E mounted in the main frame below the cross bar; independent elbow levers F F pivoted upon the bolt lc to urge the roller D toward the roller E; and the independent springs connected to 0 the respective levers and the main frame.
2. In awringer, the combination of the main frame A provided with a cross bar I) at the top; rollers D and E mounted in said frame below said cross bar; independent levers FF springs; and the ring G encircling the upper pivoted to the under side of the cross bar to arms of the elbow levers. 1o urge the roller D toward the roller E; and in- In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand dependent springs connecting the respective in the presence of two witnesses.
5 levers with the main frame. EDGAR S. OOMBS.
3. In a Wringer, the combination with the \Vitnesses:
main frame; the rolls D and E mounted W. T. BRADLEY, therein; the elbow levers F F and their J. HARRINGTON.
