DIVISION B.

To all whom it 'may concern: l

Be it known that JOHN ALLENDER, deceased, late of the city and county of New Loudon, in the State of Connecticut, invented a new and useful Improvement iu Apparatus for VVringing Ulothes, of which the following is a `specitication suciently full, clear, and exact to enable others v'skilled in the art to which the invent-ion appertains to make and u se the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings forming a parthcreof.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of said invention. Fig. 2 is aside elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a View in section of the squeezing: rollers.

The'invention consists in a portable bench or stand, with upright standards supporting a pair of elastic squeezing-rollers impervious to water. These standards are so arranged as to admit of a tub being placed on the bench on each side o f the wrin ger mechanism. Thus the clothes 'are readily taken'from the tub on one side and passed betwee'u'the rolls, falling into a tub or basket placed on the opposite side of the standards supporting the rolls. The convenience of this arrangement of part-s is very great,and it very much facilitates the operation of washing, the more especially as the clothes will usually be passed through the wringer several times during the cleansing process.

In the drawings, A is the bench supported upon legs. B B are the upright standards, fastened into the bench at 'or near the center of its length. In each. of these standards there is a long slot, in which the boxes C of the top roller, D, and the boxes C of the bottom roller, D', are fitted to traverse, the boxes C being pressed upward by the spiral spring Edilaced between the bottom of the slot and` the box, as shown in Fig. 2. The screws F F act against the top boxes, C, to press therol- 1ers together, and press them down, and press the boxes C against the spring E, to producel the required pressure between the rollers for the cloth or clothes to. be squeezed.

the rollers, asshown in'Fig. 1, at G, and a guide, H, is fastened to the boarding G, to

guide the cloth or clothes between the rollers. y The rollers D D consist of a shaft or central f roller, I, made smaller in the middle, as shown in Fig. 3.- This shaft is-surrounded by a fiat metal spring, coiled spirally, so as to form a4 K cylinder, J, of uniform diameter from end t0 end, as shown in section, Fig-3. Around this spring-cylinder J there is a-cylindrical covering, l), made of india-rubber or some flexible material that will yieldor bend readily as the spring-cylinder inside of it yields to the pressure of the cloth or clothes passing between the rollers. surrounded .with a thin hoop, K, at each end, and is pierced by several spurs, AI. L,on the gears M M, which are firmly fastened to the shaft I,`to make both the rollers turn together as the cloth'or clothes being squeezed pass betweenA them, and the water squeezed from the cloth runs from the under roller between the boards G G onto the base A, and through the spout M away from themachine.' Thev central roller, I, being made smaller in the middle, allows the coiled-spring cylinder to yieldto the varying thickness of the cloth or clothes passing between the rollers.4

What is claimed as the invention is.- A portable stand or bench provided'w-ith upright standards, in combination with elastic squeezing-rollers impervious to water, substantially as described. A
