Patented Aug. 25, 1908.
Application filed April 6, v1907.- Serial No. 366,684.
of Clieimiiig and State of New York, have in-A vented certain new and useful Iiriproveinents in Gearing for Wasl'iing-Macliines, of which thel following is a clear,.full,- and exact deseription.
My invention relates to gearing for that class of washing machines having va rotary reciprocal stirrer-sliaft 4and its object is to provide actuating mechanism for said stirrershaft that utilizes the momentum of a ilywheel both to assist the manual eil ort necessary to operate the machine, and to reverse the motion of the stirrer-shaft at the end of each throw. This I accomplish by the means hereinafter fully described and as particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings z-Figure 1 is a side elevation of a 'washing machine having my improvements applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a similar view looking at the same from a different angle.
In the drawings A represents a tub which is supported by legs d, and has its top closed by a suitable lid B, that is hinged to a segmental strip l) permanently secured to the upper edge of the tub. At a point corresponding to about the center ofthe top of the tub, lid B is provided with suitable bearings for a vertical stirrer-shaft C, which depends down into the tub and is providedl with a stirrer-head c on its lower end.
Immediately above its bearings the stirrershaft has a pinion d secured thereto, which is engaged by a horizontally disposed reciprocal rack l). Rack D extends at right angles to the hinged edge of the lid B to near the circumferential edge of the top of the tub,
where its outer end is pivotally connected to the adjacent end of the shorter lower branch of a vertically disposed lever E, fulcrumed to suitable standards e, e, secured lto and arising from strip b, substantially as shown. The upper end of lever E is, preferably, constructed of a metal socket and a handle removably inserted therein, and its fulcrunial boss is provided with an outwardly projecting arm]r which is shown to be slightly longer than the lower branch of said lever, and to have its outer portion bifurcated with the bifurcations provided with longitudinally elongated slotsj/ therein.
.livoted between the bifurcations of arinf by a transverse pin g the ends ol' which enter and engage the slots j, is a vertically reciprocal bar (l. '.llie movement of bar GA is controlled by the guide-bearings la and t, secured to and projecting from the side of the ,tub as shown, and between these guidebearingsis provided with a boss to which the upper en d of a pitman H isl pivoted. The lower end of pitnian Il is pivotal ly connected to the wrist-pin of aerank I secured to the adjacent end of horizontal shaft J', which` latter is journaled in suitable bearings in the center of length of a tiebar j connecting two of the legs of the tub,.and in a suitable boss in a standard k.
The base of the standard lr is suitably secured to the intersection of the cross-braces connecting the kof the tub together and its upper extremityv is set in a suitable socket in a plate K secured to the center of the unw derside of the tub'. The upper portion of standard lc is reduced andinade cylindrical to provide a journal lfor the horizontal flywheel L loosely mounted thereon, and the central boss of the latter has a beveled pinion M made integral therewith, which` is engaged by the beveled gear N mounted on the shaft J, substantially as shown.
To operate the machine lever E is moved back and forth to 'impart the rotary reciprocal movement to the stirrer-shaft through the medium of rack l). ln. so doing bar G is moved up and down, and by means of pitinan Il and crank I revolves .shaft il, which latter, through the large gear N causes the ily-wheel to revolve several times to its one. The momentum of the 'fly-Wheel not only aids the operator in reciprocating the stirrer-shaft, but when `the latter reaches the limit of its movement in either direction materially assists in reversing-the movement thereof, and thus lessons the physical ell'orts of the operator at the point during the operation of the machine where the resistance is the greatest.
What I claim as new is:
1. Mechanism for driving a' washing ma chine comprising a vertically disposed rotary disposed lever pivotally connected to thev outer end thereof for reciprocating the same, a vertically reciprocal bar, a ily-Wheel,l and means actuated by said bar for revolving said ily-wheel.
2. Mechanism for driving'a washing machine comprising a vertically disposed rotary reciprocal shaft,A a vertically reciprocal bar, means for actuating both said shaft and bar, a ilywvheel, and means actuated by said bar for revolvingsaid fly-wheel.
3. Mechanism for driving a Washing Inachine comprising avertically disposed rotary reciprocal "shaft, a vertically reciproealfbar, means for actuating both said shaft and bar,
a horizontally disposed flyvwheel below said shaft, and means actuated by said'barrfor revolving said ily-wheel.
4. Mechanism for driving a washing machine comprising a verticallydisposed rotary reciprocal shaft, a reciprocal device operating said shaft, a vertically reciprocal bar, a lever connected to said )perating device and actuating said bar, a-fly-wheel, and means actuated by said bar for revolving said ily-wheel.
5. Mechanism for driving a washing machine comprising'a vertically disposed rotary reciprocal shaft, a reciprocal device o erating said shaft7 va vertically reciprocal ar, a lever connected to said operating device and actuating said bar, a horizontally disposed ily-wheel below said shaft, and means actuated by said bar for revolving said ily-wheel.
6. Mechanism for driving a washing machine comprising a rotary reciprocal shaft, a reciprocal device operating said shaft, a vertically disposed lever connected to said operating device and having an arm extending at an angle from the fulcrunial boss thereof, a vertically disposed bar the upper end of which articulates 4with said arm,l a fly-wheel-o and means actuated by said bar for revolving said ily-wheel.
7. Mechanism for driving a washing machine comprising a rotaryreeiprocal shaft,
a reciprocal device operating said shaft, a vertically disposed lever connected to said operating device and having an 4arm extending at an angle from the fulcrumal boss thereof, a vertically disposed bar the upper end of which articulates with said armfa horizontal shaft having a crank on its outer end, a pitm'an connecting said bar and crank, a horizontally disposed fly-wheel journaled 4in alinement with the axis of said shaft, and
beveled gears imparting the motion of vsaid horizontal shaft to said fly-wheel.
8. Mechanism for driving a washing machine comprising a rotary reciprocal shaft, a horizontally reciprocal rack indirectly operating the same, a vertically disposedlever for actuating said rack having an `arm extending at an angle from the fulcrumal boss thereof, a vertically disposed'bar the upper end of which articulates with s'aid arm, a
horizontal shaft having a crank o n its outer end, a pitman connecting said bar and crank,l
a horizontally disposed ily-wheel journalcd in alinement with the axis of said shaft, and
beveled gears imparting the motion of said In testimony whereof I have hereunto setl my hand and seal this 18 day of March, A. D.,
