W ASKING-MACHINE Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 9, 1908.
Application'fiied June 22, 1907. Serial No. 380,329.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we WALTER Soorr HAM- ILTON and JAMES RoZInR 'yVILLIAMs, citizens the county of Harris and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Washing-Machine, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a washing machine of the type wherein a basket for holding clothes to be washed is inclosed'within a suitable tub orother vessel containing hot soapy water, and by some suitable means,
either manual or power, the basket is given an oscillatory movement in both a horizontal and vertical direction. p
The object of the invention is to provide a simple, quick and eflicient machine for washing clothes with great ease and without dam- 22 with the cover removed. Fig. 3 is a top plan view.
- Similar reference numerals are used to designate the same-parts on all the figures. Within a tub or other suitable receptacle 1 is a basket 2 for containing clothes to be washed, supported on an undulating track 3, fastened to the inside of the tub or receptacle, and caused to travel thereover when a horizontal lever 4 is oscillated.
The receptacle 1 may be made of metal or i wood, preferably the former, cylindrical in shape and closed at the top by a flanged cover 5 having a central perforation 6 and two diametrically disposed curved slots 7 each having" at its center a radial notch 8. The undulating track 3 is supported near the top of the receptacle 1 on brackets 9 projecting a short distance from the sides of said receptacle. In plan, the track appears circular, but in elevation it will be seento consist of a series of elevations 10 and depressions 11 extending entirely around the receptacle. The numberof undulationsmay be varied, but the track shown in the drawings has three elevations and three depressions.
Above-each depressed portion 1 1 of the track a thumb nut 25.
washed have been placedin the basket, the
inthe basket.
are now replaced, the knob 22 grasped by the .hand and moved to and fro in a horizontal is a guard rail 12 lying parallel with the track and reaching nearly to the summit of the elevation 10 on either'side.
The basket 2 comprises a suitably con 1 structed frame lined with woven wire netting of coarse mesh to form a flatbotto-med cylindrically shaped clothes holder. The basket 2 is suspended from the track 3 by hangers 13, fastened to the rim 14iof the basket, on each of which hangers aflanged wheel or Three such rollers 15 equally spaced, are shown in the drawing,,but the number may be varied if desired. The rollers or wheels- 15 rest normally in the depressed portions of roller 15 that runs On-the track, is journaled.
the track and are. covered by-the guard rails 12 which prevent the rollers from becoming derailed as the basket is operated.
Extending upwardly from the basket 2 through the curved slots 7 in the cover 5 are two .arms '16 and 17 connected, to the hand lever 4. The arm 16 has its upper end formed into a hook 18 to engage an eye 19 on one end of the hand lever 4. The other arm 17 is flattened and enters a. slot 20 in the hand lever and is temporarily fastened thereto by a removable pin 21. The hand lever 4 overhangs the cover and carries a knob 22 on its outer end to be grasped by the hand.
Within the basket 2 is a perforated plate or disk 23 fastened at its center to the lower end of and 24 and, passing through the center hole 6 in the cover and a hole in the hand lever 4, is adjustably secured to the lever by After the clothes to be plate or disk 23 is lowered over them and olds them in place during the washing process. I V
To use this machine, the pin 21 is withdrawn from the hand lever 4 and the thumb nut 25 loosened so that the hand lever may be thrown back as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1. The cover is then removed-and the disk 23 withdrawn from the basket. A suitable quantity of suds water must now be placed in the receptacle and the dirty clothes The disk, cover and handle direction. Thiswill cause the basket of ,and down the undulati'ng track.
The sudden changes in the direction of movement of the receptacle forces the water through the clothes,a-nd the ineshes of the I fibric and so thorohghly and quickly cleanses t e111. v a I t The basketlnay be removed from the re- 5 ceptacle by turning itso that the Wheels'or I rollers will ride up on the highestpoints of the elevations 10 over do not extend. j v 7 Having thus described the invention what which the guard rails 10 is claimed is 1. A washin machine comprising a recepg tacl, a revol legclot hes holder thereinyan undulating track Within the receptacle,.
means carried by the holderand movable of the track for-positively directing theholder v downward during the, rotation thereof;-
2. A washing machine comprisin a receptacle or tub, a perforated clothes older or basket suspended Within saidtub, means for oscillating said basket-about a vertical axis, an undulating track- Within said. receptacle:
andattached to its'walls, 'spaced' rollers oh said basket niounted on sai'd track. and'adapt- .ed to. raise and lower said basket'as i't is" oscillated,- and an adjustable disk for holding the clothesin the basket. 1 j
Intestimony that we claim the foregoing as our own, We have hereto afiixed our sign'a'a tures in the presence'of two Witnesses.
