IMPROVE) WASHING MACHINE.

V'lO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Be it known that I, IRA A. LIVINGSTON, of the town of Hornellsville, Steuben county, in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in. Washing Machines; and the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying' drawings, making a part of this specification, in whichi i Figure 1 represents a. plan or top view of the machine withthe washing apparatus.
Figure 2 shows a side elevation of the same.
Figure 3 is an end view, showing the driving mechanism.
f The object of my invention is to effect, by the construction, arrangement, and operationof machinery, the
precise results of hand-washing by rubbing the clothes between the knuckles or on the common tinted washboard, but in a much easier and expeditious manner,
My invention consists in the arrangement `and combination of a series of vibratory wash-'boards to be. operated by levers connected with a two, three,.or four-throw crank, to which a steady and uniform motionmay be given by gearing or a belt, and equalized by ily or balance-wheel.:
My invention further consists in the arrangement and combination of the mechanism for parting the washboards to put in and take out the clothes, and control the pressure of the springs which act upon them, so that lace and the most delicate fabrics can be cleansed with as much safety as Whenwashed by the hand, and allfamily washing donc in the most perfect manner with the greatest facility, and for laundry establishments from eight to twelve hundred pieces per hour are cleansed perfectly.
To enable others to make and use my invention, I will describe it in detail,'referrng to the drawings and l to the letters of reference thereon.
I make the tub or suds-box A in form a semieircle. I either line it or make4 the bottom of galvanized' iron, zinc, or other non-corrosive metal, the ends B B being of wood, to which the legs b b b are secured to support it at a. suitable height. .To the box-frame I place vertical posts, a a, on the' top of which are the journal-boxes c c for the crankfshaft D to run in. The 4cranks d l d may be any number, according to the number of the vibrating rubbers E E E. For family use two and three of the rubbers are quite suihcient, they being operated by long levers e e e, so that the motion on the rubberscan be made as little or as great aslnay be desired, and the necessary strength applied, the vibrating rubbers E being hung centrally on a rod or shaft, F, extending longitudinally in the centre of the radius of the suds-box A, with spiral springs ff surrounding the rod F to press upon the hubs L h of the outside rubbers to hold them against the clothes; and for the purpose of opening the spaces between the rubbers I attach cordsj j to the hubs h L, which extend out and over pulleys and connect with a foot-piece, Gr, so that the operator` can control the pressure on-the clothes, so that light or a hard rubbing can be Aeliected on all or any portion of a garment, precisely the same as if done on a wash-board, or bythe knuckles of the hands.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
,4 The arrangement of a series of vibrating wash-boards E E, operated by levers e e, in combination with double or triple cranks'and ily-wheel motion, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
2. I claim the rubbers E E, as constructed, in combination with the rod F, springs ff, cords j j, pulleys iz', and foot-piece G, as and for the purposes described.
i In testimony whereof I hereunto subscribe my name on this third day of April, 1867. l l IRA A. LIVINGSTON.
