Description

@with tatrs atwt @frn ROBERT ROOKE, OF EMP-IRE CITY, OREGON.
Letters Patent No. 65,282, dated May 28, 1867.
IMPROVBD WASHING MACHINE.
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONGERN:
Bc it lknown that I, ROBERT ROOKE, of Empire City, Coos county, State of Oregon, have invented a. new and improved ClothesiVashing Machine; and I do hereby declare that the following` is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof', which will enableothcrs skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, in which- Figurcs 1 and 2 are vertical central sections of my invention, the plane of one section being at right angles to that of the other.
` Similar letters of reference indicate like parts. Y
This invention consists in a. series of pounders arranged in connection with a rotating perforated tub, which is placed within a fixed or stationary tub, the ponnders and rotating tub being operated from one and the same driving-shaft, and all arranged as hereinafter fully shown and described, whereby clothes lmay be cleansed very expeditiously and in a perfect manner.
A represents atnb, which may be of any suitable dimensions, and has two uprights B B, attached to it at opposite points, said uprights extending upward a suitable distance above the tub, and connected by cross-bars a at both sides. Within the tub A there is fitted a tub, C, which may be pivotcd at the centre of its bottom as shown at b, and has casters or rollers, e, attached to the under side of its bottom to rest on the bottom of the tub A and obviate friction. The upperedge 'of the tub' C is toothed as shown at tZ, and a pinion, D, gears into said. teeth, as shown in both figures. EV is a shaft, which has its bearings in the nprights B B, and has a horizontal position a short distance above the two-tubs, said shaft having a series of tappets, e, attached, and also having` a pinion, F, upon it which gears into the pinionD, the power being applied to the shaft E. The rods or barsf of ponnders A', pass up between the cross-bars a, and thc bars a are notched nt their inner sides to receive vertical V-shaped ribs, g, which are secured to the rods or barsfof the pounders at two opposite sides thereof. By this ineans the pounders and their rods or bars are retained in proper position, and allowed to work freely up and down. The pounders are raised by the tappcts e acting against projections t on the rods or barsf, and they fall by virtue of ther own gravity. The ponndcrs are raised consecutively or irregularly, so that there Will be a continuous action upon the clothes, the tappets c being attached to shaft F with a view to that end. The bottom of the tub'C is perforated, and the outer tub is provided with a faucet, z', to draw the water or snds from the tubs when desired. As the ponndcrs operate the tub C is rotated by means of the gearing described, and hence all the clothes placed in the tub C will be equally operated upon. The bottom of the tub C is protected from the action of the pounder-s by stops ax, attached to the pounder rods or barsfat the upper ends of the ribs g. I do not confine myself to any particular material. The tubs may be of wood, and the pounders may be of wood loaded if desired. The tappcts e on shaft E may be of metal 'or hard wood, as well as the projections ton the pounder rods or hars f. This invention has been practically tested,- and it operates well, cleansing the clothes expeditiously and in a thorough manner. i
Having thus described my invention, I clailu as new, and desire to secure by Letters' Patent- Thc pounders A', in combination with a rotary tub C, placed wit-hin a fixed tub A, and all arranged to operate Substantially in the manner as and for the purpose herein set forth.
ROBERT ROOKl'I.
