of the pinion 29 is a' bifurcated arm 30 havating lever is moved downwardly, the pawl 30 will move relative to the pinion 29 until the arm 30 is at its lower limit. Then, when the operating lever is elevated, the pinion 29 will he turned a part revolution which will result in turning the pinionlB and the sleeve 12, and by means of said sleeve, the guide 19 will be turned and it will also turn the shaft 15 which carries the plungers so that. upon each reciprocation of the shaft 15, the plungers will he turned a part revolution within t he body and will therefore engage the clothes within the body portion at different positions upon each reciprocation.
It is obvious that the gearing device is of simple, durable and inexpensive construction, and that the rotary movement of the parts is comparatively slow so that the parts are not subjected to excessive wear, and, furthermore, the operation of the device will be comparatively noiseless. l urthermore, by providing a spring for elevating the operating lever, the machine may be operated by a minimum of applied power which may be applied by, the operator in a convenient and easy manner. The cushioning eiiect of the spring 27 is also very advantageous in a machine of this kind.
I claim as my invention.
1. A gearing for washing machines, comprising a body portion, a'sleeve rotatably mounted therein, a beveled pinion on the sleeve, said sleeve having slots in its sides above the beveled pinion, a shaft extended through the sleeve, a guide device slidingly and non-rotatably mounted on the shaft.
with its ends extended through the slots in the sleeve, an operating lever, means for connecting the operating lever with the said shaft, a second beveled pinion'in mesh with the first, an arm pivotally supported at the center of the second beveled pinion, a spring actuated pawl carried by the arm to engage the second pinion, and a link connecting sa1d arm with the operating lever. 2. A device of the class described, comprising a body portion, a fulcrum member hinged to the body portion, an operating lever fulcrumed to the fulcrum member, a spring attached to the operating lever and to' the body portion, a sleeve rotatably mounted in the body portion and having slots in its sides, a beveled pinion fixed to the sleeve, a shaft extended vertically through the sleeve, said shaft having fiat sides, a'guide dev ce loosely mounted on the flat portion of said shaft and-having projecting ends extended through'the slots in the sleeve, a bracket fixed to the operatin lever, a nut adjustably mounted on the sha t to engage the undersurface of said bracket, a spring mounted on the shaft to engage the top surface of said bracket, an ad'usting nut on the shaft above the spring or ad justing the tension thereof, a bracket mounted upon the body portion, a beveled pinion mounted in said bracket and in mesh with the first beveled pinion, a bifurcated arm pivoted to the shaft of the second pinion, a pawl pivoted between the sides of said arm to engage the second beveled pinion, a spring-- for said (pawl, and a link pivoted to the bifurcate arm and to the operating lever.
