S ecilication formiuf'iarto Letters? January To all'whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, HENRY Baur.. STARR, ot' Texana, in the county otl Jackson and State ot' Texas, have invented a new and valings, makin part of this specification, andy to the letters and l'lgurcs o" reference marked thereon..

Figure l of the dr ving is a representation of a longitudinal `verticalsection ot' my washer. Fig: 3 is a vertical cross-sectionr of thesame.

This invention has relation to washing-niacnines; andthe uoveltyeonssts in allowing both cylinder and blades to be rotated or oscillatedA iinlepeinlently et' each other, as will be hereinafter hiere fully set forth.

l'n the annexerl. drawings, A represents a cylindrical drinn, which is mounted upon a box, l, containing a drawer, U. This drum has a large opening through its top, which is provided with'a perforated hinge-cover, A1, from which rise vertical walls, tbrininga tray, A2. Inside of the drum A. a cylindrical cage' or grated cylinder, l), which is conlposed ot' two circular heads united by loligitudinal and circular wires, forming large meshes for allowing a free circulation o' water through-them. This cylinder D has a portion of its grating hinged for the purpose of allowing access to its interior for the introduction and removal ofthe articles to be cleansed.

E El are two gudgeons, which pass through long tubular bearings a a', applied centrally to the heads of 'the drum A, and receive on their ends cranks E 1l".

The gudgeon lll is rigidly connected to one of the heads ot the cylinder E, so vthat this cylinder can be rotated, by lturning the crank l", when a screw, b, is loosened. The gudgeon E alords bearing for the opposite end of the cylinder l), and allows the latter to turn freely around it.

G designate blades or buckets, which are moved.

secured to two heads, G1 G2, forming an outer cylinder, G3, Aand the blades are arranged between the grated cylinder and the drum A, at suitable distances apart, and in planes radiatin g from the a-Xesof said cylinders. One

or more of these blades may be connected to their heads by'means ot'hooks and eyes o c, which When necessary, the head G1 is allowed to turn freely around the gudgeon E, and the head Gr2 is permanently secured to the gudgeen El, so that, by turning' the crank F', the

gudgeon E being held in its bearing by screw fb, the heads GL'GZ, with their blades G, can be revolved around the grated cylinder D.

The operation for cleansing dishes is as follows The dishes to be washed are placed inside of the grated cylinder D, it-being held stationary by means of the set-screw b.-A sufficient quantity of hot water is then ypoured 'into the drum, at the same time closing'the faucet g to retain said water in said drum, and turning the crank Ff of .the blades G to raise the warm water, and dash it upon the dishes to remove the heavy, and greasy matter. 'Villien the dishes are thus washed the faucet g is opened, and the water allowed to escape. y

Either hot or cold water is pouredinto the tray A2, which passes through the perfoated bottom Al. in uniform sprays or showers for the purpose of rinsing and cleansing them,

For the purpose of washing fabrics, the screw l; is loosened to allow both the grated cylinder and the outer cylinder to be rotated independently of each other, the fabrics being in the grated cylinder.
