WASHING-MACHINE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 5, 1917.
Application filed November 15, 1916. Serial No. 131,535.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, JOHN J. BANTA and JULIUS E. BANTA, citizens of the United States, residing at Sullivan, in the county of Franklin, State ofMissouri, have invented a new and useful Washing-Machine; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. i
This invention relates to an improved washing machine, and the object of the same is to provide a device of this kind comprising a receptacle for the clothes and suds having a central hollow guide column, on
which an agitator is guided when moved vertically.
A further object of the invention is to provide means for spacing a tubular column of the agitator from the column of the receptacle, so that when the suds between the walls of the two columns become thoroughly heated or reach the boiling period, a continuous flow of the suds is generated, the suds passing up over the wall of the agitator, and then under the lower wall of the agitator. The suds thus flowing percolate through the clothes, which are-placed in the receptacle.
A further object of the invention is to provide means for imparting a vertical movement to the agitator, when the cover of the receptacle is removed. However, the agitator is to be used only when washing clothing, that cannot be boiled, and when the washing machine is removed from over the fire. When washing clothing with the agitator, the clothing is placed under the agitator, after which an up and down movement is imparted to the agitator until the clothes are clean, and when imparting this up and down movement, the suds are forced between the column of the agitator and the column of the receptacle, the suds also percolating through the clothing.
A further object of the invention is to provide a receptacle having a bottom convexed upwardly, so as to direct the flame or the heat from the stove through the centrally disposed hollow column of the receptacle, to heat the suds between the walls of the column of the receptacle and the column of the agitator.
In practical fields, the details of construction may necessitate alterations falling within the scope of what is claimed.
The invention comprises further features and comblnation of parts, as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed.
Fig. 3 is a plan view, showing the cover of the outer receptacle removed, and showlng the means for moving or reciprocating the agitator.
Fig. el is a sectional view on line H of Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view on line 5-5 of Fig. 2. Referring. more especially to the drawngs, l designates the outer receptacle of the improved washer or washing machine, which'is provided with a bottom 2, which is oonvexed upwardly into the receptacle, or in other words is conical. Rising axially from the conical bottom2 is a tubular column 3, so that when the receptacle is placed over a gas burner of a gas range, or over a stove hole, the heat or flame will be contracted and directed into and through the column 3. A suitable agitator is provided, and which comprises the main conical flange 4 and the hollow or tubular column 5 (which is designed totelescope the column 3) and which flange 4t conforms substantially to the conical bottom 2. The flange t has an extension or auxiliary flange 6 bent at a slight obtuse angle to the flange 4, and is designed to engage the bottom 2 adjacent the wall of the receptacle 1, so as to hold the flange 4 at a spaced interval from the bottom 2. The extension or auxiliary flange 6 is provided with a plurality of apertures 7, to permit the suds in the receptacle 1 to pass between the flange 4: and the bottom 2 and rise upwardly in the space 8 between the walls of the two columns 3 and 5. The suds in the space 8 become thoroughly heated from the heat in the column 3, to an extent of boiling, causing an overflow of the suds over the upper edge of the column 5, at the same time the suds are continually passing through the apertures 7 and under the flange 4 of the agitator, and up throughthe space 8. When it is desired that the agitator remain, as shown in Fig. 2, the cover 9 is placed on the receptacle 1. Telescoping over the column 3 is a sleeve 11 which is larger in diameter than the column 3, and its upper part is held spaced from the column by the inturned flange 12. The lower.
part of the sleeve 11 is held spaced from the column3 by the spring arms 13, the free ends of which have loops 14:, and are designed to engage the column 3 to hold the sleeve 11 spaced from the column 3. The arms 13 extend su'fiic'iently into the upper end of the space 8, whereby the upper .end of the column 5 may be held spaced from the column 3. The sleeve 11 has an exterior annular flange 15, which deflects the column of water, which discharges from the upper portion of the space 8, after it passes through said space, that is, when the water is heated. Extending laterally from the receptacle 1 and upwardly is an arm 16, to the upper end of which the forked end 17 of the lever 18 is connected by the pivot 19. This lever 18 has a loop 20, and to the sides 21 of the loop, links 22 are pivoted at 23. When the cover 9 is removed, the free ends of the links 22 may be pivoted upon the lateral pins 24, which extend from diametrical opposite points at the upper end of the column 5. When the cover 9 is removed and the lever is connected to the column 5 of the agitator, as aforesaid, a vertical reciprocating motion may be imparted to the agitator. The chief aim of this invention is that when washing clothes that can be boiled, the washer is automatic in operation, the only labor on the part of the operator is to keep a fire under the washer. In this case the suds and the water will percolate through the clothes on the top of the flange l of the agitator, through the openings or apertures 7, and rushup through the space 8, and be deflected by the flange 15, down upon the clothing. However, when washing clothing by means of the agitator, the water and the suds are placed in the receptacle 1, and the clothing under the flange 4 of the agitator, after which a vertical reciprocation is imparted to the agitator, which will force the-suds and the like-through the clothing, and backward and forward through the space 8, and backward and forward through the apertures 7 This reciprocating motion may be continued until it is believed that the dirt is thoroughly removed from the clothing. The cover of the receptacle is constructed in two sections, as shown by the meeting edges of the two sections, as at 9 in Fig. 2. The meeting edges of the other parts of the two sections will be diametrically opposite, but are not shown; The two sections of the cover will fit about the sleeve 11. The sleeve 11 is to act as a shield to' prevent the clothing from coming in contact with the upper part of the tubular column 3', while the clothing is being put in or re moved from the washer.
The invention having been set forth, what is claimed as new and useful is In a washing machine, a main receptacle having a conical bottom, and a tubular column rising axially from the bottom, an agitator consisting of a tubular column telescoping the first column and provided with a flange at its lower end, the outer portion of the flange terminating in means engaging said bottom to space the flange apart from the bottom, a sleeve telescoping the first column and having arms extending into the agitator column to hold it spaced from the first column, the lower end of the sleeve having an outwardly extending annular flange to deflect the water and the suds downwardly as it leaves the space between the agitator and the first column, the arms of the sleeve also acting to hold the sleeve at its lower end spaced from the first column, the upper end of the sleeve having an inturned flange engaging the first column to hold the sleeve spaced from the first column, and a cover telescoping the sleeve and engaging the first receptacle.
In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. 1
