C. L. CARTER, OF UNION CITY, INDIANA. Letters Patent No. 68,043, dated August 27, 1867.A

TMPROVED ATTACHMENT FOR CLOTHES-WRINGERS.

'To ALL ,WHOM 4rr 'MAY'r coNoEnN:

Be it known-that I CARTER, of Union City', in the county of Randolph, and State of Indiana, have inventedzrV new ann useful VGlothes-ldushing Device to attach to an ordinary clothes-wringen whereby it will serve as a wzisher Aus'u'cilas wringer; and I do hereby declare the following is a full, clear, and exact description of tue construction und operationiofvthe same, reference being had to the annexed drawings and lettersof 'reference marked thereon, making opnrt of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is'aLf-ronjt vicwsof un ordinary clothes-\vrnger, `Wthmy improvement attached.

To enubieothers skilled'in the nrt to make and use my invention, I willproceed to describe its construction and operation. i I

'I construotjny wrmger in airy ofthe Vknown forms, but I make the framework or sides of the clotheswringer longer :it the lower ends for tenons tov pass through und husten to the board b, which sfrrnlyA screwed over the cent-re of the'tnb'g'. g

The object of this invention is to obtain on effective clothes-wusher and wringer combined, and it consists in securing un ordinary clothesnvringer over the centre oi'A the tub, with the suturator a attached `to thetop of it, und operated substantially as hereinafter set forth and described, whereby osimple and effective washer and wringer is obtained. y

lrepresents aA common hench, g n wash-tub, e e h en ordinary wringer, either'with or without cogs,f the clot-hes, a the saturutor or vessel forV holding water, O o. pipe to convey water to `the clothes, I) the board to support the' wringer onthe tub, d d the water to saturate the clothes.

The vrringer, with my improvement attached, being firmly fastened to the tub, a garment is passed through it, having e'part of the garment on euch side of the wringer. Another garment is attached to the end of the first bylncans of pins or otherwise, und another tothe second, and so on till es mamy are attached es is desired.A The end of the last is brought round under the wringer, through the water in the tub, and attached to the other end of the first on the oppositie side of the Wringer. VThus it will be seen 'that the clothes are united together, and

by turning the wringer the clothes will'be brought up on one side ndpa-ssed through the wringe-r, and doivn on the other side into the unter, where they willV become saturated, and so on `till the clothes are washed. When they have been passed through the wringer till clean, one garment is detached and the clothes allowed topzlss outside of the tub, 4beingweshed and wrung. The object of theset'urotor a is, where there is one garment, or o, part of'one, requiring more washing than the rest, it is brought under the saturator a by turning the wringen'. The saturator boing filled with water the n ringer is turned back and forth. The seturatorhaving a. discharge pipe,v o, on eachside of the Wringei-will keep the clothes saturated'us they' pass back and forth through the '.vringer. i

vWhat -I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is'- The arrangement of' the saturator a with the wringer, us herein described, for the purpose set forth.
