WASHING-MACHINE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 9, 1908.
Application filed November 8, 1907. Serial No. 401,203.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EMIL EIsEMANN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Washing-Machines, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention is an improved washing machine primarily designed for washing ostrich and other ornamental feathers in their preparation as articles of apparel.
The invention contemplates a machine of this nature embodying an endless belt movable within a tank containing the wash water, and having means for squeezing out the feathers applied to the belt as they repeatedly pass through the tank, together with means for rubbing the feathers transversely to the movement of the belt.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a washing machine embodying my improvements; Fig. 2 is a central vertical longitudinal section of the same; Fig. 3 is a cross-section on the line 33 of Fig. 1; Fig. 1 is a section on the line 44 of Fig. 3, on an enlarged scale; and Fig. 5 is a section on the line 55 of Fig. 1, also on an enlarged scale.
In the construction of a feather or other like washing machine in accordance with my invention, I employ a suitable tank 10, preferably of rectangular form and provided with the usual discharge pipe and plug, as shown in Fig. 2. Near the opposite ends of the tank, and adjacent to the bottom thereof, rolls 11 are ournaled in bearings and extended substantially the full width of the tank. Like rolls 12 are also journaled in bearings supported from the tank, preferably above the top thereof, and positioned nearer the ends of the tank than the rolls 11. These rolls receive an endless belt 13, and in view of their relative location, direct the under portions of said belt outwardly in an up- Ward direction, and extend the bottom hori- Zontal length thereof in the tank below the water line, whereby the articles to be washed carried by the belt will be compelled to travel substantially the full length of the tank under water, when the belt is driven the driving of the belt being preferably acoomplished by a sprocket-wheel 13 attached to the axis of one of the rolls.
For attaching the feathers to the belt, the latter is provided on its outer face with a series of suitably spaced and longitudinallyarranged flexible strips 14, which are sewed 'or otherwise secured to the belt at intervals,
forming loops in which the feathers may be inserted in a transverse direction. Provislon is made for regulating the tension on the endless belt at one end of the tank, by slidably mounting the bearings of one of the rolls 12 in substantially horizontally-disposed slotted guides 15, and connecting the bearings with adjusting screws 16, the latter being threaded through fixed nuts or openings arranged at one end of the guides. The elevation of the upper rolls 12 above the top of the tank makes the belt accessible for applying and removing the feathers, but also makes it pos sible for the waterto bethrown from the feathers over the ends of the tank when the belt is in motion. To avoid this, the walls of the tank at the opposite ends, and for a short distance at the sides, are elevated by sheet metal casings 17, the said casings being further heightened by hinged hoods 18, which conform to and partially extend around the rolls 12. These hoods may be thrown down when access to the belt or feathers is to be h ad.
Intermediate the rolls 12, and substantially centrally of the tank 10, are rigidly attached to the opposite sides thereof, a number of upright arms 19, three being shown, and having guide-ways in their upper ends in which bearing -blocks 20 are slidably mounted and adjustably supported by ad justing screws 21, the latter being threaded through cross-ribs of the arms and locked in place by lock-nuts 22. In the bearing-blocks 20 are journaled rollers 23 contactin with the under face of the upper horizontalliength of the endless belt 13.
In the intervals between the arms 19, the
sides of the tank support upright arms 24, in
the upper ends of which are crosswise slidable bearing-blocks 25, each set of bearing blocks having journaled therein a roller 26 which contacts with the upper face of the belt, and the contactin portion thereof, when the roller is proper y adjusted, is ar ranged slightly below a plane tangential to the rollers 23, as clearly shown in Fig. 2, whereby the belt and feathers carried thereby will be firmly pressed and squeezed during the Washing operation. Each roller 26, it will be observed from Fig. 3, is spirally wrapped, preferably with a cotton or hemp rope, giving the roller a transversely corrugated washing perimeter.
The outer ends of the bearing-blocks 25 are pivotally connected at one side of the tank to operating-levers 27, and at the op 0- site side of the tank to links 28 which are ulcrumed at their opposite and lower ends on the bolts or pins 29. The operating-levers 27 are likewise fulcrumed intermediate their length on bolts or pins 30, at which point they have a slight angular bend and are extended to near the bottom of the tank where they are provided with attached heads 31, each head being constructed with a longitudinal groove and an arc-shaped slot 32 concentric to the pin 30. Through the slots 32 of the heads 31 passes a driving-shaft 33, journaled in suitable bearings carried by the tank, and having a driving pulley or other equivalent device 34.
Attached to the shaft 33, adjacent to the heads 31, are crank arms 35 which are substantially oppositely-disposed and have crankins 36, best shown in detail in Fig. 4, journa ed therein and connected with bearing-blocks 37 slidable in the longitudinal grooves in the o crating-lever heads. This construction it wi 1 be seen operates to axially slide the rollers 26 back and forth across the belt as they revolve, thus subjecting the feathers carried by the belt to a combined scrubbing and squeezing action, which opcrates to free them of dirt, etc. withoutinjury.
The invention as shown and described while being the preferred practical embodiment of my improved washing machine, may nevertheless be changed in particulars within the scope of the claims annexed.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
