Specification of Letters Patent.-
Patented Dec. 21, 1909.
Application filed September 19, 1907. Serial No. 393,657.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BALlizs Kiss, a subject of the King of Hungary, and resident of the city of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in \Vashing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to washing machines, and has for its object to provide a machine for washing clothes by the application of a fluid, specially by water, with or without soap, which not only operates by friction, but also by beating the clothes to be washed.
Speaking in general terms, the invention consists of a yieldingly supported washboard, and of a reciprocable corrugated board, adapted to rub and beat the clothes, inserted between the wash-board and the corrugated second board.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of the same, Fig. 2 an end elevation, Fig. 3 a section on line 33 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 shows a detail of construction.
In the drawings, 1 indicates the frame of the machine, suported by beams 2+2, carried by a receptacle 3, adapted to receive the clothes, water and loosened impurities, removed from the clothes, wherofrom the water may be carried away by the cock l.
To the frame of the machine is fixedly secured an inclined table 5, supporting a corrugated, inclined wasl1board 6 by means of the stems 7, secured to said inclined board (3, and slidably mounted in the apertures 8 of the inclined table Between the inclined table 5 and the wash-board 6 are in serted a plurality of heli-a1 springs 9, one end of each of which rests against the inclined table 5, while the other ends bear against the wash board 6. It will be noticed, that by means of the stem '7 and the helical springs 9 the wash board 6 is slidably supported, yielding to any pressure acting upon the surface of the same.
Parallel to the corrugated wash-board G is arranged a second corrugated board 10. This second corrugated board may be termed the working board, and is arranged so as to be reciprocable in relation to the washboard 6. The lower end of the working board 10 carries lugs 1111, connected by means of levers 12-12 to the lugs l3-13, se-
cured to the frame of the machine. A'shaft 1st is supported by the bearings 15, secured to the frame of the machine, and is provided with a c'ank 16 cngagcd by a bearing 17, carried by the working board 10. It is obvious, that in rotating the shaft 14:, the working board is reciprocated relative to the stationary wash-board.
One end of the shaft 1st carries a pinion 18, in mesh with a gear 19, mounted upon the shaft 20, which latter is supported in bearings 21, secured to the frame of the machine. The shaft 20 may be rotated by means of the hand-wheel 22, the rotation of which is imparted through the gear 19 and pinion 18 to the shaft let. The shaft lat carries on its outer free end a fly-wheel 23 for a purpose well known.
A receiving table 9.4: is arranged on the frame of the machine, leading to the washboard 6 and the working board 10, the upper end 25 of the latter being bent outwardly, so that the clothes, sliding down the inclined receiving table 24, slide into a hopper-like space.
The upper portion of the frame 1 carries a receptacle 26, adapted to receive soap-water or any other suitable liquid containing some detersi've solution, which flows through the cook 97 into a smaller receptacle 28, having a perforated bottom 29, straining the liquid and allowing the same to flow upon the clothes, placed upon the receiving table 24. The liquid flows thence down between the two inclined corrugated boards (5 and 10, thence into the receptacle 3, wherefroni it may be carried away through the cock 4:.
It will be observed that the corrugations of the boards (3 and 10 are arranged in such a way, that the water flows down the inclined boards being unable to stop in the corrugations.
One of the stems 7, secured to the washboard 6, protrudes through the aperture 8 in the inclined support 5 and is pivotally conncctcd to a connecting bar 20, the free end of which is pivoted to a bellcrank 30, fulcrumcd at 2-H to the frame of the machine. By means of this bellcrank the wash-board (3 may be moved toward the inclined support 5, increasing thereby the distance between the two inclined boards 6 and 10, which operation may become necessary in case a piece of the clothes to be washed should be too large and therefore not slide down the inclined board as freely as required.
The operation of the device is as follows: The clothes to be washed are placed upon the receiving table 24, and the cock 27 opened, so that the requisite moisture may be supplied to the same. The clothes then slide down the inclined receiving table 24 into the hopper-like space, formed by the wash-board 6 and the upper deflected end of the working board 10, whence the reciprocating washing board 10 moves the same slowly down the inclined wash-board 6, scrubbing and beating the same as it passes down the incline. The water and the impurities are removed from the clothes which fall into the receptacle 3, wherefrom the clothes may be removed by opening a door 32, arranged in this receptacle. As mentioned hereinbefore, the distance between the two corrugated boards may be increased, and in order to hold the board 6 in a desired position, the outer end of the handle-lever of the bell-crank 30 may be held in position by grooves 33-83 of an arm 34, secured to the frame of the machine.
hat I claim is:
In a washing machine, the combination with a frai'ne, of an inclined table supported thereby and provided with a plurality of holes, a corrugated wash board arranged parallel thereto, a plurality of stems secured to. the underside of said wash board and en gaging the holes in said table, a spring ar ranged on each stem between said table and wash board, whereby the same is yieldingly supported, a corrugated working board arranged parallel to said wash board upon said frame, means for imparting a curvilin ear motion to the working board relative to said wash board, and means for engaging one of said stems to increase the normal distance between said boards and keep the said boards in such position against the action of said springs, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
