Description
inited gianna anni @time 'WILLIAM H. ROAOH, 0F I-IARRISVILLE, OHIO.
Letters Patent No. 101,408, dated March 29, 1STO.-
IMPROVBD WASHING-MACHINE.
The Schedule referred to in these Lettere Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom tt may concern:
the same, suiiicient to enable others skilled in the art to which this invention appertains to fully understand and use the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawing making part of this specification, and in -which- Figure 1 is a top -orplan view of a washing-machine, illustrating my invention.
Figure 2 is `a central longitudinal section thereof in line :u x, iig. 1.
Figure 3 is a detached perspective vicw of the guide-rollers and arms which play between the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts inthe several gures.
This invention has reference to an arrangennnit of parts whereby a horizontally-reciprocating rubber is guided so as -to secure ai' free, unretarded movement, and whereby the said rubber is adapted to adjust itself vertically to conform to the bulk of the clothes beneath/it.
This invention consists in the combination and construction of the tub and rubbers, and their various connections, to forman improved washing-machine, as will be hereinafter more fully described.
In thedrawings- I A represents the bosl or tub, mounted on suitable legs, a.
On the bottom of this tub I arrange a series of transverse rollers, B, which lay side by side, with sui'- cient intervening spaces to allow the water to pass freely between them,
A space, b, unoccupied by the rollers, is left at cach end of the tub.
From one end of the tub there arises standards, C, forming bearings for two transverse rollers, D, which are placed one above the other, sutiicient room being left between them for the free longitudinal motion of the arms E, which'` carry the rubber F.
This rubber -is merely a block or slab of suitable material, having its lower-.face groovcd transversely.
Itis connected to the arms E by the rigid hangers c.
It will be seen that the rubber is thus suspended perpendicularly from said arms, by means of which it can be reciprocated horizontally, depressed, or raised.
One end of each arm is formed into a handle, d, by means of which handles the rubber can be readily operated, or moved from one position to another.
d d are circumferential grooves formed in the rollcrsD, in order vto guide the arms E in their forward and backward motions.
These arms are connected rigidly together by suitable cross-pieces, f.
It will be seen that greater leverage is obtained by this arrangement.
The rollers D serve a fulcrum for thearms I9, and hence the operator can apply great pressure to the clothes during' the rubbing or washing process.
`It is obvious that, in order to secure the effective, unobstructed operation of the rubber F, the arms .E must be held against lateral movement at two longitudinal points', otherwise whatever lateral vibration the arlns should undergo would throw the sides of thc rubber F out of parallelismwith the sides of the tiib, and thus cause the rubber to bind.
In my machine this obstruction of the mot-ion of the rubber is ob'riated, in consequence of the holding of the arms E against lateral movement at somewhat distantly-rcniovod.longitudinal points, namely: where the said arms pass through the grooves d d 0fkv the rollers I) D, and where the rigid hangers c c join said arms E, thc rubber F heilig tittcd in a suilicient-ly snug manner between thc pieces B B', in which the rollers B have their bearings.
It will bc seen that thc axes of the rollers DVD are in an inclined, but nearly vertical, plane, the effect of which arrangement is to enable the arms E to be freely vibratcd vertically, sufficiently to admit of the withdrawal ofthe rubber from the tub, which could not be accomplished if the rollers D I) were situated in a vertical plane. d l
Ass fine articles require to be carefully rubbed, and as thc appearance ol' the Aclothes may be sometimes improved after they have been subjected to action of the rubber F, I have made provision for hand-washing by liuting orcorrugating one cnd ci the tub, as seen at lz..
In order to render thc wash-board h accessible, the lid or top-piece c', which prevents the water from splashing out, is secured by dovctailing, so that it may be sliddcn out oi' position, as shown in fig. 1.
Having thus described my invention,
What Iclaim as new, and .desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
As my improvement in washing-machines,the construction and arrangement ofthe friction-rolls D D, with their circumferential grooves or guides d d', levers E` Ein combination with the uprights c c, rubbersl F and B, corrugated end h, with slide e', over-hanging piece e, and with box A, all as described, and for the purpose set forth.
