WILLIAM J. WOOD, OF PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 685,082, dated lOctober 22, 1901. Application filed September 22,1900. Serial No. 30,764. (No model.)
T all whom, it may concern,.-
Be it known that 1,*WILLIAM J. WOOD, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Washing-Machines, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
1o This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in washing-machines; and it consists brieiy in a body portion having a drum journaled therein and a weighted hollow rubbing-roller arranged in said drum.
The invention has for its object to construct a machine of this character that may be extremely simple in its construction, strong, durable, comparatively inexpensive to manufacture, and highly efficient in its 2o operation.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, and
2 5 specifically pointed out in the claim.
In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings,
, forming a part of this specification, and wherein like numerals of reference indicate 3o corresponding parts throughout the several views, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of my improved washing machine. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical sectional view thereof.
Fig. 3 is a detail end view of the drum. Fig. 4 is a detail view of the shaft. Fig. 5 is a side view of one of the weights. Fig. 5' is a front view thereof. Fig. 6 is a side view of the collar. Fig. 6 is a front view thereof.
4o Fig. 7 is an end View of the weighted roller, showing the means for removing the weights.
In the drawings the reference-numeral 1 indicates suitable standards upon which the l washing-machine is mounted, and 2 indicates the body portion of the machine, which is formed of two sections, the upper section being'indicated by the reference-numeral 3, this upper section 3 being hinged at 4L to the lower section. In the body portion or casing 5o of the machine is revolubly mounted the drum 4.', the ribs 5 of which form the rub bin g-surface, said drum being likewise formed in two sections, the upper section being indicated bythe reference numeral 6 and hinged together at 7.
The reference-numeral 8 indicates a hook pivotally secured to the upper section and adapted to engage a staple 9, formed in the lower section, and serving as fastening means to retain the sections 4 and 6 together. The 6o drum is suitably journaled at one end, as at 10, in the side of the body portion 2, and at the opposite end is provided with a shaft 11, extending through the casing and carrying an operating-wheel 12, having a handle 13.
The referencenumeral 14 indicates a weighted roller the ribs 15 of which forni a rubbing-surface. Said roller is hollow and is provided with a rod 16, extending centrally in said roller throughout its entire length. 7o The rod 16 is provided with a number of Weights 17, the latter being slidingly connected upon the rod 16 and held in position by the collars 18, carrying the set-screws 19, engaging the rod 16. in two equal halves, as shown in Fig. 7, are hinged at 16', and have a hook 16" to hold the parts in position. It will thus be seen that when it is desired to increase or decrease the weights, according to the delicacy of the 8o A fabric being cleansed, it is only necessary to unlock hook 16", which permits the ends being swung apart on hinge 16', allowing the removal of shaft 1G and the adjustment of the weights.
The operation of my improved washingmachine is as follows: The section 3 of the casing is opened, and then the section 6 is opened for the reception of the clothes, the Y machine being previously lled with water 9o and soapsuds. The machine is then closed andthe interior drum rotated by means of the wheel and operating-handle, thus allowing theweighted roller to revolve over the clothes, and thereby thoroughly rub and cleanse the v same. The clothes may also be inserted between the exterior wall of the drum and the lower section 2 of the body portion.
It will be seen that by the use of myimproved washing-machine the clothes may be rea easily cleansed and that the operation of the machine is perfectly free and easy.
After the clothes have been cleansed the machine is opened and the clothes removed The ends 14.' are formed 7 5y therefrom, when the operation maybe repeated. Particular attention is called to the fact that the number of weights may be increased or decreased, and these weights being arranged on each end of the rod will tend to perfectly balance the roll, and the pressure of the roller exerted upon the clothes will be uniform.
It will be noted that various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of my invention.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
In a washing-machine, the combination of a body formed in two sections and hinged together, of a rotatable drum journaled in In testimony whereof I affix my signature 3o in the presence of two witnesses.
