(Mode1.)
No. 333,916. Patented Jan. 5. 1886.,
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ALBERT A. BROOKS, OF SENECA, KANSAS.
CLOTHES-POUNDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 333,916, dated January 5, 1886.
Application filed Junel, 1885. Serial No. 167,276. (ModeL) To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be itknown that I, ALBERT A. BRooKs, of Seneca, in the county of Nemaha and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Founders; and I 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 pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in washing-machines; and it consists in a conical body having in its lower end a horizontal partition,and having the chamber which is formed by this horizontal partition in the lower end of the body divided by vertical partitions into smaller chambers, in combination with a central lube which projects up to the top of the body, and shorter tubes which extend from near the lower edge of the body up through the horizontal partition, all of which will be more fully described hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claim.-
The object of my invention is to produce a washing machine which is cheap, simple, easily operated, and will not get out of repair While being used.
Figure 1 is avertical section taken .through a washer embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is an inverted view of the same.
A represents the conical body, which is divided into two chambers by the horizontal partition B, which is located at any suitable distance above its lower end. Passing through the center of the body and through the partition B is a central tube, 0, which has its lower end to project almost on a level with the lower edge of the body A. The upper end of this tube extends up to the cover D, which is applied to the top of the body A, and receives the lower end of the operating-handle F. The chamber which is formed in the lower end of the body A by means of the partition B is subdivided by a number of vertical partitions, G, which extend from the sides of the body to the center tube, to which the inner ends of the partitions are secured.
In each subdivision H, which is formed by the vertical and the horizontal partitions, is placed a semicircular tube, I, which connects directly with the chamber J, which is formed in the upper portion of the body A. This chamber J serves to catch and hold a portion of the air which is displaced by the downward movement of the pounder into the water upon the top of the clothes. A portion of the air which is displaced from the chambers will escape around the lower edges of the-body A; but as the lower ends of the pipes I do not project outward as far as the lower edges of the body A, a portion of the air passes through the pipes directly into the chamber J, where it is held. The moment an upward movement of the pounder begins,the air flows from this reservoir through the pipes back into the compartments for the purpose of destroying any vacuum which may have been formed by the displacement of the air.
If so desired, another entirely separate and distinct set of tubes, L, may be used instead of the ones I, as shown in dotted lines, in which case the tubes L will be placed nearer to the center, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2. The tubes I act not only as tubes, but as braces to strengthen the lower portions of the body. The cover of the body A is made removable not only for the sake of repairs, should any become necessary, but to allow soap to be placed in the chamber J to assist, as the soap dissolves, in making soap-suds. By having the handle-socket a in the top or cover overlap the upper end of the tube 0, this socket a and the lower end of the handle serve to brace and strengthen the upper end of the tube in position. If so desired, an opening will be made through the central tube just above the partition B, so that there will be an air-passage through the tube directly into the chamber J and dispense with the tubes I. When the pounder is raised upward, the air passes through the central tube, 0, so as to destroy the vacuum which may have been formed at all points alike.
Having thus described my invention, I claim- The combination of the body A, the horizontal partition B, the central tube, 0, which extends down through the partition at its I Intestirnony whereof I'affix mysignature in lower end, and which has its outer end expresence of two witnesses. tended up far enough to receive the lower end of the handle F, the cover which has vertical ALBERT A. BROOKS. 5 flanges at its outer edges to fit over the top of the body A, and the vertical flanges a at its lVitnesses: center to catch over the top of the upper end O. H. SMITH, of the tube 0, substantially as shown. I H. D. HOMBERK.
