UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN D. HARTZELL OF OZAWKIE, KANSAS.
IMPROVEMENT IN WASHINGMACHINES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 138,802, dated May 13, 1873 5 application filed March 31, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J. D. HARTZELL, of Ozawkie, county of Jefferson and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Washing-Machines, of which the following is a speciiication:
The nature of my invention consists in the construction of a washing-machine which shall be simple and effective in operation, and which will wash the clothes thoroughly without injuring them; and consists in the combination and arrangement of parts which will be more fully described hereafter.
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of my machine. Fig. 2 is a detail view of the same.
a represents the frame, made rounding in form, and supported upon four legs, b, each of which have a small block of rubber, c, secured to its bottom so as to prevent the machine from slipping on the floor. The bottom of the frame is corrugated, or the corrugations may be secured to it in sections, and at each end of the frame there is secured a drip-board, d, which should extend far enough over the edge of the tub to prevent the water from splashing upward while washing. At 'either or both ends there may be secured blocks g, by which a wringing-machine may be fastened to the frame, so that the clothes may be wrung out as fast as washed. Pivoted, by means of the cross-bar h, which extends across the center of the frame, and has its bearings between the ends of the legs b projecting up above the box, are the two levers, t', having handles attached to their upper ends, and the washer' to the lower ones. Through these levers is a number of holes, by means of which the rods lor levers l are attached to them for the purpose of working the Washer back and forth. By fastening the rods up from or nearer to the pivot greater or less leverage is obtained.
-and forth over them.
lsmall smooth rollers, a, which prevent the clothes from coming up between the corrugated rollers, and also serve to press the water out of the clothes as the water is moved back Upon the cross-bar h, between the levers and the legs b, is placed a guide, o, and upon each end of the lever is placed a spool, 1', over which, and a similar spool placed just below, passes a rubber band, so as to exert its pressurev Vupon the washer, and cause it to press down upon the clothes as it is moved back and forth. Extending up the sides of the box, between the legs, are placed braces, so as to prevent the box from warping, and to strengthen it. Upon the top of the box are secured two blocks, t, which servevas catches to the handles on the levers, for the purpose of holding the washer raised up from the tub while the clothes are being putin.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. The standard provided with rollers alternately corrugated and smooth, in combination with the corrugated frame, substantially as shown and described.
2. The combination of the frame a provided with drip-boards d, blocks g t, cross-bar h, levers t l, rollers m fn, and the rubber band or its equivalent, when all are combined and arranged as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I hereuntol affix my signature this 20th day of March, 1873.

FREDERIC HOLLER, A. C. PETERSON.
