UNITED sTATEs PATENT OFFICE.
D. P. SHARP AND L. MOOD, OF ITHACA, NEW YORK.
WASHING-MACHINE.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 27,836, dated April 10, 1860.
To all 'whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that we, D. P. SHARP and L. Moon, both of Ithaca, in the county of Tompkins and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Clothes-Washing Machine; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure l, is a longitudinal vertical section of our invention, taken in the line Fig. 2. Fig. 2, a section of the same, taken in the line y, y, Fig. l. Fig. 3 a detached section of the same, taken in the line z, a, Fig. l.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
This invention consists in the employment or use of one or more pumps placed in a proper box or case and used in connection with a press to receive the clothes; the press being placed in the same box or case with the pump or pumps, and the pump cylinders connected with the press by a suitable pipe; all being arranged as hereinafter shown and described whereby the clothes are cleansed by the forcing of water, or rather soap and water, through every part of their texture.
To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct our invention, we will proceed to describe it.
A, represents a case or box, which may be of quadrilateral or other proper form, and supported at a suitable height by legs a, or any proper framing. Within the case or box A, at one end, twoforce pumps B, B, are placed, the piston rods C, C, of which are connected to a common brake or lever D, having its fulcrum at `7), as shown clearly in Fig. 2. The cylinders of the pumps are connected at their lower ends by a tube c, from which the eduction pipe E, projects.
F, is a box which is placed within the case or box A, and at the end opposite to that where the pumps B, B, are secured. The bottom G, of the box F, is provided with a ledge or vertical strip d, at each side or edge and the bottom G is a trifie less in area than a horizontal section of the box F, and a space E, is thereby left all around the bottom G.
lVithin the box F, a follower H is placed.
This follower so far as dimensions are concerned, corresponds with the bottom G, and to each side or edge of the follower H, a cleat or ledge f, is attached, said cleats projecting downward as clearly shown in Fig. l. In the top of the case or box A, a nut g, is fitted, through which a screw I, passes, the lower end of the screw bearing on the follower H, as shown clearly in Fig. l. The case or box A, is provided with a lid, by raising which, the clothes may be properly adjusted in box F.
The operation is as follows: The clothes J, to be washed, are properly folded, and placed in the box F, and the follower H, is placed on the clothes and pressed down on them by means of the screw I. The ledges cl, f of the bottom G, and follower H, cause the clothes to be compressed all around their edges, and the eduction pipe E, extends to the center of the mass of clothes within the box F. The case or box A, is supplied with a requisite quantity of suds, and the pumps B, B, are operated by any convenient power, the suds being' ejected into the center of the mass of clothes in the box F, and forced through the texture of the entire mass, the pumps being worked until the clothes are entirely cleansed.
The ledges d, f, are an essential feature of the invention, for they, by causing the clothes to be compressed all around at their edges, prevent the too free escape of the water from the mass of clothes, and consequently the water will be forced alike through all parts of them.
In case the clothes are very dirty, the water in the case or box A, may be changed whenever it becomes very foul. It will be understood that the water in the case or box A, is used over and over, that is to say, is forced through the mass of clothes, and taken up by the pumps and again forced through the clothes, the water escaping from the box F, through the space e, at the bottom of the box F.
IVe are aware that pumps have been previously used, for forcing water through clothes and cleansing them, and, we therefore do not claim broadly such a device, but,
We do claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The force pump B, one or more, in combnation with the clothes press, formed of the boX F, and follower H, the pumps and clothes press being placed Within a. case or box A, and all arranged to operate substan- 5 tally as, and for the purpose set forth.
2. We further claim the ledges d, f, respectively on the bottom G, and follower H,
of the press, When used in connection with the pumps B, for the purpose specified.
