WASHING-MACHINE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 9, 192
Application filed. January 18, 1919. Serial No. 271,831.
Be it known that we, HENRY H. YooNo and WALTER l). YOUNG, citizens of the United States, residing at Kearney, in the county of Buffalo and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in l Vashing-iiachines, of which the following is a specification.
This invention seeks to provide a steam washing machine which may be easily cleaned, by which the clothes will beagitated or successively lifted and then dropped into the hot water or cleaning fluid, and in which the scum will be prevented from repeatedly working to and through the clothes. The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings and consists in certain novel features which will be particularly pointed out in the claim following the detailed description.
in the drawings l igure 1 is an elevation of our washing machine with the cover removed;
Fig. 2 is a lon itudinal vertical section; Fig. 3 is a central transverse vertical section.
ln carrying out our invention, we employ a boiler or receptacle 1 which is to contain water having a suitable quantity of soap or other cleansing agent incorporated therein. This boiler, receptacle or tub may be of any desired dimensions and will preferably be rectangular, being equipped at its ends with handles 2 whereby may be moved from place to place and also equipped at one end with a valved drain 3 through which the used liquid may be withdrawn. A. cover a, which is preferably semicylindrical, is also provided to rest upon the upper edge of the boiler or tub and in the longitudinal edges of the cover and the boiler are mating notches to receive and form bearings for trunnions 5 on the rotary clothes receptacle 6, a handle 7 being fitted upon one of the trunnions so that the clothes container may be rotated in the operation of the machine. The cover is provided at its top with a han-v dle 8 of any convenient form whereby it may be removed or put in place. The clothes receptacle is in the form of a cylinder having imperforate ends and having its peripheral wall provided at intervals with perforated ribs or lifters 9. These lifters or ribs 9 are Vshaped and consist essentially of fiat perforated plates having their outer edges separated and secured rigidly in the perforated wall of the cylinder and their inner edges brought together and secured as at 10, said inner edges or the apex of the V-shaped rib being disposed inwardly from theperipheral wall of the cylinder. any desired number of these ribs or lifters may be provided and the number will usually be determined by the dimensions oi? the cylinder. To facilitate the rtion of the clothes in the cylinder and the removal of the same from the cyl nder, we divide the cylinder seginentally, indicated at 11, and connect the portions at one end by hinges l2 and at the other end provide a latch 13. it will be readily understood that by releas" he latch the minor portion of the cylinde may be swung about the hinges 19, so as to permit the insertion of the clothing and after the clothinghas been placed in the cylinder the said'minor portion or lid may be returned to place and held by the latch.
in the lower corners of the boiler or tub I we provide scum arresters consisting of screens or perforated plates 14: which are disposed in inclined position across the cornew of the tub or boiler and are preferably bent upon themselves to provide a base portion 15 adaptcdto rest upon the bottom of the boiler, as clearly shown in Fig. 2, so that the cum arresters will be firmly seated. The scum arresters are merely placed loosely in the tub and their own weight, together with the pressure of the water thrown upon them, will to hold them in position, but after the washing has been completed and the water drawn oil the scum ari'esters may be easily lifted out so as to be cleaned.
In using our improved washing machine, hot water containing soap or other cleansing agent is poured into the boiler until it reaches a level just below the cylinder and the clothes which may have been previously soaked with water and rubbed with soap are placed in the rotary cylinder or receptacle after which the cover 4: is placed over the tub and the receptacle rotated, the machine being placed over a fire so as to maintain the temperature of the water and to cause steam to rise therefrom. The steam will, of course, pass through the perforations in the ribs or lifters 9 and will consequently penetrate the clothes in the receptacle so that the dirt will be readily loosened. rotating the cylinder at frequent intervals the clothes will be turned over or agitated so that the hot water and steam may penetrate all portions of the and same and in the rotation of the cylinder the lifting ribs 9 will engage under the clothes so as to lift them and as the ribs successivel reach high points of the cylinder the clothes carried thereby will be permitted to drop back into the Water. The perforated construction of the lifting ribs permit the steam hot Water to circulate thoroughly through the receptacle and also permit the dirt to escape. The ebuilition of. the water will be strongest at the center of the boiler and will be very slight at the ends of the same so that soapy dirt dripping from the clothes will be caused to flow toward the ends of the boiler and pass through the scum arresters. As the water behind the scum arresters is quiet, the dirt and soap adhering thereto, Will form a scum Which Will be retained by the scum arresters and prevented from again passing through the clothes.
Our machine is exceedingly simple in the construction and arrangement of its parts and may, therefore, be produced at a low cost. In use it will be found highly etlicient inasmuch as the clothes Will be agitated and the dirt quickly loosened therefrom while all the parts may be easily and thoroughly cleaned after the washing has been com-- pleted. The cover 4 may, of course, be easily I lifted from the boiler or tub and the clothes receptacle then removed after which the scum arresters may be lifted'from the tub. The peripheral wall of the clothes receptacle or cylinder consists of independent arcuate sheets Which are oined only by the V-shaped perforated lifting ribs and as these ribs are constructed of flat plates they may be easily cleaned on both the inner and the outer faces or sides.
'Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is: V p
A washing machine comprising a receptacle of rectangular formation, a clothes-receiving cylinder mounted transversely Within the receptacle for rotation about a horizontal axis, said cylinder being spaced upwardly from the bottom of the receptacle, and inclined screens removably arranged in the ends of the receptacle and having their upper ends in contact with the ends of the receptacleand their lower portions extended angularly and'mountedflatly upon the bottom of said receptacle thereby forming dirtreceiving compartments in the ends of the receptacle. 7
