WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming-part of Letters Patent No. 606,? 82, dated July 5, 1898. Application filed September 9, 1897.: Serial No. 651 ,038. (N0 model.)
To all whom it may concern.- 7
Be it known that LJOHN F. HEBERGER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Washing-Machines,
of which the following 'is a specification.
My invention relates to that class of washe 'ing-machines -,in which two oscillating rubloose and rattling, provide means of easy'ac cess to the interior of the case without throwing up the, cover and mechanism supported by it, and to provide means by which the concave rubber may be swung up into the raised lid forcleansing the tub or suds-box.
With these objects in viewmy'invention' consists in the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, hereinafter fully described in connection therewith, and particularly referred to and pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view'of my improved machine, the parts'bein'gin the operative positionj Figf2- is aplan view of the same with parts ofthe lid and hinged cover broken away "upon each side to expose the bearings and journals ofthe 'rubbers. Fig. 3 is a central vertical longitudinal sectional view of the machine'with the lid thrown up and the rubbers thrown out of the tub or sudsbox for the purpose of cleansing the same. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view, upon an enlarged scale, of the pitman connecting the crank-shaft and lever for operating the convex rubber and the connecting-rod coupling the pitman and concave rubber.
Referring to the parts, which are indicated by similar reference' letters wherever they occur throughout the various views, A repre sents the tub or suds-box; B, the concave rubber, journaled in open or half boxes in the upper edges of the tub sides; 0, the lid or c'ov er,'hinged at one end of the machine and provided at the opposite end with a handle 0, by which the cover is thrown up or lowered.
Dis the upper convex rubber, j ournaled in slotted. bearings in the sides 0 of the cover 0 and having'an operating-lever d, which is secured upon a' cross-piece d on the top of the rubberD and which projects through the cap or top'of thelid O.
The parts above indicated are of wellknown construction and need not therefore be specifically described, excepting that one half of the top of the cover 0 is a door 0 hinged to theside c by the hinges a The purpose of this arrangement is to throw one half of the cover open for the purpose of adj usting the clothes in the spacebetween the rubbers B and D should they become bunched or supplying the tub with fresh suds, as required. In order to permit the cover c to be opened, the bearings for the operating crankshaft are both secured upon the opposite side 0 of the cover.
Y The crank-shaft E is journaled in brackets e, which are secured upon one side 0 of the cover, the brackets having downwardly-projecting flanges, which bear against the end of the cover and are secured thereto by bolts passing through the flanges, as clearly shown. The crank-shaft outside of the box is provided with abalajncewheel e, which wheel-is provided with a handle 6 by which the crankshaft is operated. The opposite end of the shaft is provided with a crank and wrist-pin, which is coupled to the lever 01 of the rubber D bythe pitman F, which has downwardlyprojecting lugs f to receive the upper end of the connecting-rod G, the opposite end being coupled toupwardly-projecting lugs h on the box or lug plate b, which passes upon opposite sides of the cross-bar connecting the sides of the concave vibrating rubber B, the lugs of the box I) being perforated to receive bolts which pass through them and through the cross-bar 19 The pitman G is connected to the lug-platesf and b by pins or bolts, which are riveted upon the opposite side of the boxes to permanently connectthem together and prevent any rattling in use.
It will be seen that when the tub is supplied with suds and the clothes placed between the rubbers l3 and D and motion imparted to the shaft E the rubbers, vibrating in opposite directions, give a smooth rubbing action to the clothes, and the rubber D, resting simply by its weight on the clothes and adapted to slide vertically in its hearings in the side of the cover, will give sufficient pressure to thoroughly cleanse the clothes without tearing or injuring them. hen it is desired to remove the clothes, the cover is first thrown up, carrying with it the rubber D, when the clothes can be readily removed, and when it is desired to thoroughly cleanse the tub the concave rubber 13 may be swung up to the position shown in Fig. 3, and its notched edge passing over one of the projections of the rubber D will hold it in the elevated position while the tub is thoroughly cleansed.
I have shown the cover and tub coupled together by the hinge shown in the IIofmanu patent, No. 569,379; but it is obvious that any form of hinge may be employed without varying the principle of my invention, and it is also obvious that my operating mechanism may be applied to machines with the old form of cover.
hat I claim is 1. In a washing-machine the combination of the tub having bearings secured in its sides at the top edge thereof, a cover hinged to the tub at one end, the concave rubber pivotally mounted in the hearings in said tub, the convex rubber pivotally mounted in elongated hearings in the sides of the cover, a lever projecting from the convex rubber through the top of the cover, a crank-shaft mounted in bearings secured upon the hinged end of the cover, a pitman connecting the crank-shaft and upper end of the lever projecting from the convex rubber, and a rod permanently connected to the said pitman and to the top edge of the concave rubber, whereby the rubbers are reeiproeated in opposite directions when the machine is in use and both rubbers adapted to be swung up out of the tub without disconnecting any of the parts for the purpose of cleansing the machine, substantially as shown and described.
2. In a washing-machine the combination of the tub having open bearings in the upper edges of its sides, the cover hinged to one end of said tub and having a half-top hinged to one edge of the cover and adapted to be thrown open for convenient access to the machine without lifting the cover, elongated pivotal bearings secured to the inside faces of the cover, the concave rubber pivoted in the bearings in the top of the sides, the convex rubber pivoted in the elongated bearings in the sides of the cover and having a lever projecting up from it through the top of the cover, the crank-shaft mounted in brackets secured to the fixed half of the top of the cover, the pitman connecting the wrist-pin of the cranle shaft and upper end of the convex-rubber lever and having downwardly-projecting lugs, the connecting-rod permanently secured between said lugs at one end and between lugs upwardly projecting from the bar secured to one end of the concave rubber, whereby access may be had to the machine without litting the cover for the purpose of adjusting the clothes between the rubbers or supplying the tub with suds, and the convex and concave rubbers are adapted to be swung up and supported by the cover when elevated for the purpose of cleansing the tub, substantially as shown and described.
3. In a washing-machinc of the character described the hinged cover having one half of its top rigid and the other half hinged to the side wall of the cover, lnacketbearings secured upon the rigid half of the top, a cranlcshaft journaled in said bearings and having a wrist-pin projecting over the joint of the cover to receive the pitman and connectingrod foraetuating the rubbers, the rubbers and the pitman and connecting-rod for actuating them substantially as shown and described.
