WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 610,117, dated August 30, 1898.
Application filed March 29, 1898. erial No. 675,568. (No model.)
T0 allwhom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, AUSTIN M. BELDING and CHARLES A. RICE, citizens of. the United States, residing at Osakis, in the county of Douglas and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Washing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to washing-machines,
and particularly to the class of such machines known as rocking and swinging, which have inside air-chambers.
The object of the invention is to provide a washing-machine with inside air-chambers which open only in the clothes vessel and are never closed, thus avoiding the use of valves or any other mechanism to open and close the chambers.
A further object of the invention is to provide an air-chamber made with the ends of the clothes vessel and having permanently open passages at an angle to the bottom of said vessel, and a shield or protector of novel and peculiar construction secured to and depending from the air-chambers to fit the inside wall of said vessel.
A still further object of the inventionis to provide an improved clothes vessel of peculiar shape, air-chambers in the ends of the vessel, and novel means upon the outside of the vessel for rocking or swinging the vessel.
Other objects and advantages accruing from the special features of the invention and the combination and arrangement of the parts will be revealed in the specification and claims to follow.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure l is a side elevation. Fig. 2 is a top view. Fig. 8 is a section on the line a: 00, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one end of the vessel, showing the air-chamber and its shield or protector. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one of the springs.
The same numeral references denote the same parts throughout the several figures of the drawings.
The frame-base land side uprights 2 are of ordinary construction and may be of wood or metal, as found most desirable. The top of the uprights 2 have journal-bearings 3 for swing in said journals.
spindles orjournals on the sidesof the clothes vessel 5, which is adapted to rock or The vessel 5 iscontrolled and assisted in rocking or swinging by two wire springs 6, bowed at 7 to fit around the mouth 8 of the vessel, and the wire is bent at 9 to form depending arms 10, which terminate in spring-coils 11, the ends of the wire being secured to the uprights below the journal-bearings 3. The vessel 5 is cylindricahhas downwardly and inwardly inclined ends 12, eyes 13, engaged by hooks 14 to hold the vessel against motion, and a handle 15.
The air-chambers 16 are formed upon the inner wall of the ends 12, and the bottom of the chambers have depending open tubes 17, which form the only opening in the chambers. These tubes are conical, thereby giving a greater opening at their juncture end with the chambers than at the end which opens into the said clothes vessel.
The shield or protector consists of a wire 18, bent in semicircular shape to conform with the curvature of the vessel, a straight portion 19 being secured to and across the wall of the chamber, and wire rods 20, which extend from the straight to the curved portion of the wire. This shield or protector prevents the clothing from contact with the tubes and fully prevents the tubes becoming choked up by the clothing.
It will be observed that the vessel-mouth is so constructed as to readily accommodate a wringer when desired. The air-passages being close to the bottom of the vessel the passage of air, water, and steam back and forth under and through the clothes keeps them loose and separates them, so that there is no wadding or packing of the clothes or articles at the ends of the vessel.
We do not wish to be understood as limiting ourselves to any particular size, material, or means for suspending the vessel, so that it will rock or swing, nor to the special shape, size, or material of the air-chambers, or the number of openings in said chamber.
Having thus described ourinvention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination,with a rocking or swinging vessel having downwardly and inwardly inclined ends, and means for controlling the movement of the vessel, of the air-chambers upon the said ends, and the tubes opening into the air-chambers and into the vessel.
2. The combination, with a rocking and swinging vessel having a mouth,of the springs having a portion bowed around said mouth, arms depending from said bowed portion upon each side of the vessel and terminatingin coilsprings, the ends of the Wire being secured below the pivot or journal point of the vessel, as set forth.
3. The combination in a Washing-machine of the vessel having inclined ends and. adapted to rock or swing, air-chambers having their only and permanent openings near the bottom of the vessel,-tubes forming said openings and a channel between the chambers and the vessel, and a shield or protector having a portion secured to the air-chambers, and a portion depending in front of the tubes and engaging the inner Wall of the vessel, as set forth.
In Witness whereof We hereunto set our hands in the presence of two Witnesses.
