Unire' STATES Patented April 19, 1904.
JAB/[ES YV. MONTGOMERY, vOF OCHLOOHNEE, GEORGIA.
WASHING-MACHINE.
SPECIFIATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 757,829, dated April 19, 1904:.
Application filed October 31, 1902. Serial No. 129,612. (No model.)
o (tI/ 'u1/mnt if; 717.//1/ 7/ concern:
Be itknown that I, Janes W. BILONTGOMERY, a citizen ot' the United States, residing at Ochlochnee, in the county of Thomas and State of Georgiadiave invented a new and useful l/Vashing-Machine, of which the following is a specitication. l
The invention relates to improvements in washing-machines. i v
rlhe object oi' the present invention is to irnprovel the construction ot' washing-machines and to provide a simple and comparatively inexpensive one designed for washing a large quantity of clothes and capable ot' enabling' the same to be readily handled.
A further object of the invention is to provide a washingmachine of this character adapted to permit water to be readily introduced into and removed from the boiler without opening the same and capable otA enabling the cover or upper section ot' the boiler when removed to be inverted to form a washtub.
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter l'ully described, illustrated in the accriimpanying drawings, and pointed out in the claim hereto appended.
In the drawings. Figure l is a vertical longitudinal sectional view ot' a washing-machine constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional View. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the cover or upper section ot' the boiler arranged to torni a washtub. Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view on the line 4 4 ot' Fig. 1a
Like numerals oi reference designate eorre spending parts in all the ligures ot' the drawings.
1 designates an approximatelyv semicylindrical boiler having a scmicylindrieal cover or upper section 2 and mounted on a toundation 3, of brick or other suitable nraterial, which iorms the lire-chamber and which constitutes a furnace t'or heating water contained in the boiler; but the furnace may be constructed in any other desired manner. The boiler, which is provided with a sheetmetal periphery or cylinder, may be construeted in any other desired manner, and it has suitable be; rings at its ends for journals 4 and 5 of a rotary cylinder 6, which is located within the boiler and which is designed to contain the clothes to be washed. The sides ot' the boiler are provided with upwardly-extending flanges 7, which are bent outward, and the-cover or upper section is provided with flanges 8, which litwithin the boiler and which form tight joints, as shown in Fig. 2. The ends of the cover or upper section 2 are provided with bearing-recesses 9 to receive the journals 4 and 5. Legs 10 are arranged in pairs at the ends of the upper section orcover, extend upward from the same, and are adapted to support the upper section or cover when the same is inverted and arranged, as shown in Fig. 3, to form a washtub.
The rotary cylinder, which consists of a sheet-metal body portion, is provided with heads 11, having suitable openings for the reception of the inner ends 12 of the journals, and the said inner ends 12 are enlarged and provided `with openings 13 and sockets 14, which receive rods 15 and 16. The bar 15 extends through the opening 13, and the bars 16 have their inner ends fitted in the sockets 14, as clearly shown in Fig. 4. These bars form arms, which have their outer ends secured to the heads of the cylinder by suitable fasteningl devices 17.
The cylinder is provided with openings 1S, and it has longitudinal cleats 19 at its inner tace to rub the clothes which are introduced into the cylinder through a hinged section or lid 20. lhe hinged section or lid 2O is secured in its closed position by any suitable means, suoli as wedges 2l, extending through staples 22, which pass through slots ot' arms or extensions 23 ot' the free edge of the lid or section 20, the other edge beinghinged at 24, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. The cylinder is rotated by means ot' a crank-handle 25, formed integral with one ol the journals, as clearly shown in Fig. 1.
'.l`he clothes or other fabrics to be washed are soaped and placed within the rotary cylinder. The boiler is then filled about two thirds full vwith water and the lire is started in the tire-chamber. The clothes are allowed to boil about twenty or thirty minutes and arey rotatedY within the cylinder, being rubbed by IOO ' for this purpose.
the cleats thereof. The dirty Water is then drawn off through a drain or discharge pipe 26, which is provided with a suitable valve 27, but any other suitable means may be employed Clean water is then supplied to the washing-machine through a funnel 28, consisting of an approximately semi-` conical shell tapered toward its lower end and communicating thereat with an opening 29 of the upper section or cover near the lower edge of one end of the same. The opening 29 is arranged at the bottom ofl the upper section or cover when the latter is in the position illustrated in Figs. l and 2; but when the upper section or cover is inverted, as shown in Fig. 3, to form a tub, the perforation is arranged 'adjacent to the upper edge of the same`,'so that the upper section or cover will not leak when used as a tub. The upper section or cover is provided at its ends withsuitable handles 30, arranged in pairs and preferably consisting of longitudinal rods extended beyond the ends of the section or cover, as clearly shown in Fig. 3. The upper section or cover when removed from the lower section or body of the boiler is adapted to be arranged as shown in Fig. 3,-
va boiler comprising a lower section and a rcmovable upper section, said lower section having outturned side flanges and the upper scction being provided with side bars projecting beyond the ends of the upper section to form handles, said bars also serving to engage the flanges on the lower section and prevent lateral displacement of the upper section when in position. 45 In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aliixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
