N-PETERS, PHOTWLIYMOGRAPHEE. WASHINGTONy D C.
f FRANoIs In. ENGLISH, or, nVANsvIIILn, INDIANA.
Letters Patent No.`100,513, dated March` 8, 1870.
IMPRovnD WASHING-MACHINE.
" The Schedulexeferred torin these Letters Patent` and making part of the same.
To all whom fit may convent Be it known that I, Rev. FRANCIS M. ENGLISH, of Evansville, in the county of Vanderburgh, and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Olotlies-Vasher; and 1 do hereby declare that the following ,is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which willenable others skilled in the `art to make and use the same, reference being had parts. I
My inventonhas for its object to furnish an improved lmachine which shall be so constructed as to wash the clothes andheat the water in which lthey are washed, which will do its work thoroughly7 and well, and without injury to even the most delicate fabrics, and` which may be usedwith equal facility for various other purposes; and
It consists in the construction and combination of l1 the various parts of the machine, as hereinafter more fully described.
-A is the box` or tub in which the washing is done., which is made semi-cylindrical in form, and with vertical ends, as shown in thedrawings. '.lhe inner coucave surface of the box or tub 4A .ma y be made piane, corrugated, or ribbed, as may bedesired.
1 B isthe chamber or reservoir to receive lthe water i .to beheated, and which is extended around the outer` or convex surface of the box orv tub `A in the form of a' semi-annular chamber, as shown iu ligs. 2, 3, and 4. The npperpart of the chamber B may be enlarged upon one or both sides of the box or 'tub A, according to the amountof water desired to be heated at a time. i y
C is the furnace, which is placed beneath the waterreservoir or chamber B, its `particular location being immaterial, and which isprovidcd with a semi-annular flue, D, which extends ,around the youter or convex surface of the chamber B, and from which the smoke and other products of combustion enter the smokepipe or flue E.
The chamber B,furnaee G, and `tine' D, equal in length the length of the machine, and the said furwings, f', attachedto it, as shownin igs.'1 and 4, and
which is attached to the inner end of the short shaft G which passes out through a water-tight stuffingbox in one end of the box or`tnb A, and to the outer end of which is adj nstably secured a large gear-wheel, Hby aset-screwpassing through the hub'and pressing against the projecting partof the said shaft G.
The teeth of the gear-wheel H mesh into the teeth of the small gear-wheel I attached to the end-of the shaft T that revolves in bearings attached to .the tub or box A, extends `along the upper4 part of the rear i side of the said tub or box A, and to its other end is attached a small gear-wheel, K, the teeth of which mesh into the teeth of the small gear-wheel It' pivoted.
`to the end ofthe box or tub A, and theteeth of which mesh into the teeth of the large gear-wheel L, the hub end of the box or tub A.
of which passes through and works water-tight in the Through a square hole in the hub of the wheel passes the square shaft M, tothe outer end of which is attached the crank N, bymeans of which the machine is operated.
To the inner end of the shaft M is attached a rubher wheel, O, similar to the rubber wheelF, and provided with radial wings, ribs, or rubbers, o', in the same manner. l
.lhe small gear-wheel k. may belpivoted to either end of the tub A, its object being simply to change the direction of motion so that the two rubber wheels F f and O o' may be revolved in opposite directions.
By this construction, when the crank N is operated, the two rubber wheels F f and O o will Ibe\ revolved in opposite directions, and `will throw the water in which lthe clothes are placed between the said wheels into violent agitation, which will thus act uponthe clothes in all their parts and eiectually cleanse them, however much they may be soiled.
The boiler or `water-heating chamber Bis connect-ed with the tub or box A by a bent pipe, P, which is provided with a stop-cock, Q, so that the hot water may be drawn from the boiler B into the tub A by simply turning the stop-cock Q. l
The dirty water may be drawn from the tub A when desired-by meansof the stop-cock It connected with the lower part of said tub or box A. lheA machine is supported upon legs Sof such a length as to raise the machine to a convenient height.
Having thus described my/inventiou, Iclaim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patcnt- 1. The combination of the semi-cylindrical box or tub A, and the vertical winged wheels F f and O o' with each otherr saidwheels being so arranged as to be revolved in opposite directions 'at the same time and by the same operation, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination of the curved or semi-annular boiler or water-heating chamber B, with the semicylindrical box .or tub A, and winged wheels F f and O o', substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set. forth'. v
3. The combination of the furnace C, curved flue D, and smoke-pipe or ue E, with the curved boiler or water-heating chamber B, semi-circular box or tub A, and winged wheels l f' and O o', substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set orth.
4. The combination of the crank lN gearing H I J K kL, and shafts G J M, with the winged wheels F f and O o', and semi-cylindrical box or tub A, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose' set forth.
