ROBERT K; oML'INsoN, or BnowNsB Re, PE NSYLVANIA.
Letters Patent No. 80,784, datedlnu ue 4, 1868.
IMPROVED WASHING'AND WnINcINe MAoHINE.
my: soon tifemt in 'intime itchers fittest ant making joint mitt: time.
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Be it known that I, ROBERT K. To'MLINsoN, of Brownsbnrg, in the county of Bucks, and State btPennsylvania,'have invented a new and improved Washing and Wringing-Maehine; I and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, andexact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art'to make and use/the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.
.l.h is invention relates to anew andv improved machine for. washing or cleansing clothes, and for wringing them at the same operation; and the invention consists in a construction and arrangement that will keep the clothes thinly'spread' between two rubbing surfaces,'which surfaces are given a quick and'short alternate reciprocal motion, the same surfaces receiving at thesame time any desired amount of pressure by means of weights, levers, or springs md also in providing mean-s for stopping the feeding-motion whi-lethe rubbing is continued, and-in thearrangement foricombinin'g thewasbing'and wringing in the samcop'eration, as-will be hereinafter more fullydescribed.
Figure 1 represents a top or plan view of the machine, showing its general arrangement and the method of operation. V
' Figure 2 is afv'ertical longitudinalsection through the line x w of fig. 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A A represent two horizontal parallel rubbing siirfaces formed of grooved or serrated rollers, G, placed: in suitably-constructed frames, as seen in the sectional drawing, figQ 2, at B B. Y
A reciprocal lateral'alternate motion is imparted to these rubbing surfaces, A A, by means of revolving cam-wheels, DD, placed on each side of them, and attachedto the crank-shaft I Frepresents the box or washing-vessel which supports the operating parts of the machine.
Gis the crank for'turning th'eshaft and-imparting motion to the washing-machine, aswell as to the wringer, which irringer is attached to the box F.
. A pulley may be attached to the shaft'E, when it is desired to operate the combined machine by other than hand-power. i
Upon each side of each of the frames A A there are projectingsurfaces orfriction-rolls, it, upon which the series of cams on the cam-whee1s, D, operates as those wheels are revolved, and the cams are so arranged that an alternate reciprocal motion is produced thereby.
In addition to this rubbing lateral motion between the frames A A, there is a feeding-motion produced by the revolution-of the cords 'z'.
J J represent the rollers of a clothos-wriugei,which wringer is attached to the end of the box F in any suitable manner, so arranged in regard to the rubbing surfaces that the cords'z' are revolvedor drawn between and around the frames and rubbing surfaces, as the wringer is operated. v Two series of these cords are drawn in between the rubbing surfaces as the wringer is revolved, and the clothes to be'washed are drawn in between the two series of cords and carried from the rubbing surfaces into the wringer.
V The wringer is operated by the gear-wheel K and the pinion L on the shaft E. This pinion is attached to a sleeve," n. v i v m is a sliding sleeve-coupling, which is operated by the lever 0, so that the wringer and feed-motion can be ungeared and stopped while the reciprocating rubbing motion is continued, thus afi'ordin'g opportunity to rub and cleanse themore dirty parts of the clothes.
P P represent levers connected tog ether bythe bar B. These levers operate upon the lower surface or frame A, for increasing orlregulatingthe pressure between the rubbing surfaces.
The clothes arelfed in between the rubbing surfaces at S where they can be retained andrubbed as long as desired by stopping the motion of the wringei', as before stated. V r
- Having thus-describedmy invention, I claim as new, and desire to s'ecure'by Letters Patent-- 1. Importing an alternate reciprocating motion to each series of upper and lower rollers, A A, By means of the cams D, and a rotary motion to each roller by the double series of'cords i, when the cords of the upper series are driven from the upper wriuger-roll and the cords of the lowerseries from the lower Wringer-roll, as
herein described, for the purpose specified.
2. The cam-wheels D D, in combination with the rubbing surfaces A A, by which the reciprocal motion to those surfaces is imparted.
3. The combination of the upper anii lower series of rollers A A, cams D, levers P, bar R, double series of cords 2', and wringing-rolls J, arranged and operating sis described, for the purpose specified.
The above specification of my invention signed by me, this 12th day of. March, 1868.
