Description
UNITED ASTATES PATENTy OFFICEO MARY A. TAYLOR, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.
To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, MARY A. TAYLOR, of Cincinnati, Hamilton county, and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wash-Boilers; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and eX- act description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification.
My invention consists in the addition to an ordinary wash-boiler of a set of drainers, which contain the clothes and which are adapted to be placed inside of the boiler, whereby the clothes are prevented from soiling and scorching by contact with the bottom of the vessel, and whereby, by simply lifting one drainer out of the boiler and resting it on top of the other one, the greater portion of the water is enabled to run back into the boiler.
The arrangement also enables the boiling of white and colored clothes separately in the several drainers.
In theaccompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective View of a wash-boiler provided with my improvements, the lid being removed. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of my drainers, so placed as to show its perforated bottom; and Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section of a wash-boiler, representing one of the drainers as being elevated so as to free it from the water.
A represents an ordinary wash-boiler, which may be provided with the customary drop or pit B and handles C O.
D and E are two drainers, of a proper size to t snugly within the boiler A, and these drainers are provided with perforated and concave or dishing bottoms D E and handles d d and c e.
Two or more drainers may be employed for each boiler, depending upon the size of the latter, and, if preferred, the perforated bottoms :may be omitted and wire-cloth substituted for them.
The drainers are provided with downwardlyprojecting flanges F and Gr, which rest upon the horizontal ledge or shoulder H of the wash-boiler pit, thereby allowing a space between the bottoms of the boiler and strainers for hot water and also for sediment to settle in, and preventing any possible scorching or soiling of the clothes.
Operation: The wash-boiler A being placed upon the stove and supplied with water, the drainers D and E are filled with the clothes and immersed in the boiler, and as the articles rest entirely upon the perforated concave bottoms D E of the drainers, they are thus prevented from coming in contact with the highly-heated bottom of the boiler.
The perforated bottoms D and E of the strainerspermit a constant and thorough circulation of hot water through said strainers,
and their contents and the dirt and sediment I extracted from the clothes by the boiling operation pass through the perforations, and their greater specic gravity compels them to settle at the bottom of the boiler, instead of being boiled into the lower stratum of clothes, as is always the case with the old style of washboilers.
The clothes having been boiled a sufficient length of time, either of the drainers D or E is lifted from the boiler A, and allowed to rest for afew moments upon the top of the remain ing drainer, until the water which was contained in it has all escaped through its perforated bottom, when it is removed from the boiler and its contents emptied into the clothesbasket or wash-tub.
The drainer being thus emptied of its contents, it is returned to its original position in the boiler, and when the other drainer is lifted out it is allowed to rest for a few moments on the top of the empty one, until all the water escapes from it, when the clothes are also removed from said drainer into the wash-tub.
As Ithe clothes are removed from the boiler to the tub in a drainer from which the water has entirely escaped, all slopping of hot water over the oor or on the'person of the operator or bystander is prevented and there is no danger of punching holes in the clothes by lifting them from the boiler with the old-fashioned clothes-stick.
The provision of the two drainers enables the operator to separate the fine from the coarse clothes in the boiler,`and the old from new fabrics, thereby preventing ,the former from diseoloring the letter by coming` in contact with them during" the boiling operation.
These dreiners can be added to any washboiler at ft mere nominal cost, and are so siniplein their construction that they can be nmde by any country tinner.
This invention entirely dispenses with the l'iftingof hot, setureted,zn1d streztnlingclothes, which is well known to constitute the most severe and injurious labor of washing.
I claim herein us new and of my invention- A plurality of receptacles, D E, each constructed with a perforated bottom and adapted to t within. e Wash-boiler and operate, in connection with each other, in the manner and for the purposes herein described.
ln testimony of which invention I hereunto set my hand.
M. A. TAYLOR;
Wvitnesses:
GEO. H. KNIGHT, J AMES H. LAYMAN.
