Letters Patent No. 87,013, dated Februar/ry 16, 1869.
IB/.EPROVED WASHING-MACHINE'.
To all whom it ma/y concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. TODD, of Mechanicsville, in the county of Cedar, and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Washing- Machines; and I do hereby declare. that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in Which- Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of my improved machine, taken through the line x z, fig. 2.
Figure 2 is a horizontal section of the same, taken through the line y y, iig. 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.
My invention has for its object to furnish a simple, convenient, and1 effective machine, by means of which the clothes may be quickly and thoroughly Washed by friction, and by being moved through the Water; and
It consists in the construction and combination of the various parts of the machine, as hereinafter more fully described.
A is the box or tub, which is made rectangular in form, and which is supported upon legsB, of such a length as to raise the machine to a convenient height.
C are two wires, or rods, stretched longitudinally across the upper part of the tub A, to the ends .of which the ends of the said rods C are securely attached.
D is the crate, in which the clothes are placed to be washed, and which is suspended from the rods G in such a Way that it may be slid back and forth upon said rods.-
The bottom, d, of the crate or box D is perforated with numerous holes, to allow the Water to pass in and.
out freely.
The sides of the box or crate D are formed of vertical slats d?, the edges of the inner'sides of said slats being bevelled off, as shown in figs. 1 and 2, so that they may act as a corrugated surface upon the clothes, as .they slide back and forth through the said crate D.
For the same purpose, cross-slats d3, with the side edges of their upper sides bevelled ofi', are attached to the bottom, dl, of the crate D, as shown in gs. 1 and 2.
The ends of the crate D are formed of` Wider slats d4, so that there may be fewer openings through said t ends.
To the upper part of the forward end of the crate' D is pivoted the end of the rod E, which passes out through a slotiu the end of the tub A, and its outer end is pivoted to the lever F.
The lower end of the lever F is pivoted to a support, G, attached to the lower part of the tub A, and its upperend extends up into s`uch a' position that it may be conveniently reached and operated.
The tub A. is provided with a close cover, H, to prevent the Water from spattering out while the machine is being operated. A
In using the machine, the clothes to be washed are placed in the crate or box D, and then, by operating the lever F, the box or crate D will be moved back and forth through the water, or suds, in the tub A, by which movem/e/ntthe clothes will be carried through the water, and, by the motion and changev of motion, the clothes will be caused to slide back and forth through the crate D, receiving fliction om the side and bottom slats of said crate, thus quickening the washing, and making it more perfect. 4
I do' not claim the wire carriers themselves; nor do I claim a corrugated platform without sides, operated I as described, as in the rlroop machine; but
The suspended crate D, constructed as described, with a perforated bottom, and enclosed sides to hold the clothes from contact withthe sides of the tub .while the crate is being moved backward and forward over the Vguiding-wires, as herein set forth and shown.

WM. CHAPMAN, GEO. S. TODD.
