UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
M. A. RICHARDSON, OF SHERMAN, NEW YORK.
IMPROVE!) WASHING-MACHINE.
Speciiication forming part of Letters Patent No. 94,515, dated September 7, 1869.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, M. A. RICHARDSON, of Sherman, in the county of Chautauqua and in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Washing-Machines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompa nying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
Figure l represents a perspective view of the machine with my improvements; Fig. 2, a perspective view of one end, showing the journal of the iiuted roller disengaged from the spring and raised in the slot ot' the standard; Fig. 3, a perspective view of the round cleat; Fig. 4, a side elevation, showing the arrangements at that end of the machine where the crank is applied, Fig. 5, a front view of the flat cleat; Fig. 6, a section and view of the facings of the slots of the standards.
Corresponding letters refer to corresponding parts in the several figures of the drawlngs.
My invention relates to that class of washing-machines in which rollers do the work; and consists of features more fully described hereinafter.
To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
A in the drawings represents an ordinary wash-tub, to the inner sides of which the cleats are fastened, on which the washing-machine rests. B represents the frame of the machine, made of wood, having fastened to it, near its ends, the standards Bland B2. It is made of suitable width, and its length is somewhat less than the inner diameter of the tub, and one of its ends has a slot, b, which fits over authe small end of the round cleat, while the other end is full, and rests in the slot of B1 and B2 represent the standards, having the vertical slots b1 and b2, in which the journals of the fluted roller work. The slots are faced by strips of tin, or other metal, of the form clearly shown in Fig. 6 of the drawings. These facings b4 are fastened in the lower end of the slots b1 and b2 by a nail, and their ends are bent over the standards and driven into them. b3 is a staple, which is driven into.the upper end of the standard B2, spanning the slot, thus confining the movements of the crank-journal of the iluted roller to the slot. C represents the large liuted roller, which has its bearings in the standards. It is revolvedbyja crank, c2, and has also a bodily vertical movement in the slots of the standards. D and Dl represent spiral springs, one end of which is fastened, in any convenient manner, to the under side of the frame, through which they extend some distance in a vertical direction. The spring Dl is placed just outside of the standard B2, and it is made to act on the journal c1 of the iiuted roller by a double hook, d1, which is passed over the journal and hooked to the upper end of said spring. The spring D is placed just outside of the standard B1, and to its upper end is secured a knob, d, which has an eye in a line with the journal c of the ilutedroller, said eye being large enough to admit the head of the journal c to pass through. E E represent four small smooth rollers, whiih are hun g between the standards, and have their bearings in the same. They are placed around the under side of the large iiuted roller, in such a manner that their peripheries just come in contact with the periphery of the iiuted roller, when this is in its lowest position. F represents the ilat cleat, which is screwed to the inner side of the tub. It has a slot, f, iu which the full end of the frame loosely ts, the spiral spring lying in the notch f'. G represents the rounded cleat fastened directly opposite the flat cleat to the tub. The slotted end of the frame fits loosely over the smaller portion g, while the shoulder, formed by the enlarged part g', forms the seat. The cleats may have the forms clearly shown in Figs. 3 and 4 ofthe drawings, or any other adaptable shape.
rlhe operation is as follows: The `machine being placed on the cleats of the wash-tub, the clothes are fed between the ut-ed and the four smooth rollers and the crank turned, which draws the clothes between them, the action on them being the same as if rubbed on a washboard, the iiuted roller being held to its work by the spiral springs. In case the rollers become choked by any thing,`easy access may be had between them by detaching the jour; cleats F G, substantially as and for the prnal e-of the luted roller fromthe knob ot' the pose set forth. springand raisingit7 when the obstruction can The above specification signed by me this be removed.
