UNTTED STATES PATENT oEEroE.
WM. T. BARNES,` 0E BUEEALo, NEW YORK.
wAsHEoAED.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 8,161, dated June 17, 1851.
To all whom it may concern: i
Be it known that I, WILLIAM T. BARNES, of the city of Bualo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Washboards or Washing-Machines, `and do hereby declare that thc-following is a fulland exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings making apart of this specification, in which-e- Figure lis a perspective `View of the iiuted side'of the board. Fig. 2 is a per-` spective view of the board reversed. Fig. 3 is a perspective viewof the hand rubber.
To enable others skilled in theart to make and use my invention; I will proceed to def.
scribe its construction and operation; I construct `Iny wash-board in two parts the lower part` (as `represented by the letter `A in Fig. 1in the annexed drawing) is 4 scription) is turned up at M) to the common tub washboard. The upper part (as represented by the letter B Fig. l) is also made similar to the upper part of the common board with an' extension (C C) through which a screw or rivet (al) passes on either side into the lower part of the board (A) forming a point, so that the lower part- (A) may be turned round untilit `is checked by I the top part (B) and the smooth or even surface (as represented by (A Fig. 2) used for washing ne fabrics.
My rubber is an oblong square piece of wood iiuted all around (as represented byV Fig. 3) and is made of any convenient size 'to hold in the hand.
In operating my wash-board I place it in a tub (or otherwise) in `which the clothes are to be washed and drawthe clothes up and raise the top of the lower part (A) septhe board (as seen at N, Fig. 2) while using the rubber, and the same with lboth the fluted and smooth side of the board(` This pendent of the top (B) by using a board' or back, but is not as good as when used as represented in the drawings. When the clothes are placed on the board the rubber maybe used with one or both hands. Much time and labor is saved by the use of the rubber as it covers a greater extent than the hand in rubbing, and presses on the clothes, y
Iitswhole length, and its position is shifted and changed with great facility thereby rendering the rubbing more effectual and saves lifting the clothes, and also saves the hands from being worn or Vblister-.ed as when clothes are rubbed in the usual way,
it also admits of the position of the operator being changed,y making the labor less tiresome.
From the peculiar manner in which it is necessary to apply manual force to wash clothes with with a common machine the hands of the operator are in general very `soon blistered and in all cases rendered lent) on the board to prevent fine fabricsu from slipping and from being to-rn or rubbed too much, but I do not claim lining the grooved wash-board with india rubber or other equivalent material.
`2. I claim hinging the wash-board A to the framepB, C, for the purpose of holding".
the clothes while being washed and at the same time allowing the board to be'turned 100` l over substantially as herein set forth.
. WILLIAM T. BARNES..
