UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN nNDRnwnUssnL'L, or nnifwnsr, FLORIDA.
VWASHBOARD.
SPECIFICATION forming partof Letters Patent N o. $94,790, dated March 4, 1902.
lppnciiiontiea June 15, 1901.
To all whom t may concern/.-
Be it known that I, J OHN ANDnnwRUssnLL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Keywest, in the county of Monroe and State of Florida, have invented certain new and use-k ful Improvements in Washboards, of the following is a specification.
My invention relatesto improvements in washboards; and the main object of my invention is the provision'of a washboard which can be readily taken apart or put together and which is further provided with a revolving washing-surface, which can be made stationary by means of a strip to save the Wear and tear upon the rollers and to allow the use of a number of washing-surfaces.
To attain the desired objects, my invention consists of a washboard embodying novel features of construction and combination of parts, substantially as disclosed herein.
In the drawings, Figure I is a front elevation of a Washboard constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation thereof with one 'of the sides removed slightly to show the detachability of the parts thereof. Fig. 3 is a vertical central sectional view of the board.
Referringto the drawings, A designates the which top piece, provided with the upper inwardlycurved edge B and the groove C in the lower edge thereof. Connected upon opposite sides of this top piece are the soap-holdingstrips- D. The board is further-providedwiththe lower piece E,'having the groove F upon the upper edge thereof, both of these pieces being provided with the tenons G, which are adapted to fit in the mortises H, provided in the side piecesor strips J, these strips being further held tightly in place by means of the tie rods or bolts K, which pass through the grooves Of the top and bottom pieces and are tightened by nuts on the outside of the side pieces. Upon the inner side of the side'pieces are provided ythe series of circular openings or bearings L, in which are journaled the reduced ends ofthe corrugated'or serrated rollers M. The rollers are provided with a series of pairs of corrugations in order that in this ease, where four pairs of corrugations are:
Serial No. 64,706. (No model.)
formed on each roller, thek rollers when made stationary will present one pair, thus enabling four surfaces for rubbing to be present and worn out, one pair at a time, before the rollers are worthless. These rollers present a rough rubbing-surface for the board and may revolve to more thoroughlyV cleanse the clothes; but in order to get a rigid washing= surface I employ the brake-strip N, which isl providedV With the lcurved recesses O upon the under side thereof, said recesses being adapted to engage the surfaces of the rollers and act as a brake thereon. This brake-strip is adjustably secured to the center of the top and bottom pieces upon the rear surfaces thereof by means of the thumb-screws P,which pass through the ends thereof vand enter the .ing provided with a seriesof alining bearings upon their adjacent inner sides, a series of rollers provided with corrugations having their ends jonrnaled in said bearings of the sides,"and a brake-strip provided with re-` cesses uponone side, adj ustably secured centrallyy to the rear ofthe top and bottom pieces and parallel with the side pieces 'so that its recesses will straddle the rollersy and hold them in a stationary positionwhen the brakestrip is clamped upon the rollers.
In testimony whereof I aiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
- JOHN ANDR'EWVRUSSLL.
