WASHING-MACHINE.
`Specication of Letters Patent No.`5,349, dated October 30 1847.
To all lwhom t may concern: 1
Be it known that I, DENNIS NEWTON, of Homer township, Morgan county, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Machines for Washing Clothes, which is described as follows,
reference being had to the annexed drawings of the same, making part of this speci-` ication.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the machine. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section.
Similar letters refer to corresponding parts in the drawings.
The nature of my invention consists in suspending by two pendulous rods and jointpins two uted or plain pressing or squeez` ing boards, to the ends of a fixed. horizontal piece of timber, supported over the middle of a common wash box, and attaching the lower ends of said rods by connecting rods and joint pins to a rising and falling lever whose fulcrum is a horizontal pin inserted into an upright fixed to the back of the wash box, so that when the lever is depressed the fluted boards approach each other, causing the clothes, soap and water to be squeezed between them, and when the lever is raised giving the boards a contrary motion producing voids or spaces between the clothes and the fluted boards, into which spaces the clothes roll over on either side, ythe clothes partly separating at the middlel of the `box and turning or rolling over into the said spaces which are again almost instantly filled with a fresh supply of water and soap, when the operation is repeated; and in this manner keeping up the operation until the clothes are completely cleaned, the motion of the lever producing an alternate squeezing or pressing and an opening and rinsing action on the articles to be washed, more nearly resembling that produced by the human hands thany has ever before been effected by machinery.v
The dotted lines in Fig. 2 represent the position Iof the fluted pressing boards when the lever is depressed, the clothes to be washed being also represented by dotted lines.
A is a common wash box with a concave bottom.
B, B are two uted pressing boards attached to the lower ends of two pendulous rods C C, suspended to the ends of a horizontal piece of timber D by two horizontal pins E, said timber D being ymortised into a cap -F fastened to the heads of two posts G G secured to thev sides of the wash box.
I-I is a rising and falling lever.
`I is its fulcrum, fastened to ythe back of the wash box.
J J are connecting rods that connect the lowerends of the pendulous rods C C to the lever H l and by which they are made to move toward vand from each other carrying `with them the fluted pressing boards B B for squeezing'and turningthe clothes.
K 1s a plug for drawing off the dirty water. .y b L are four legs for supporting the wash Operation: Put the hot water and soap into the wash box. Place the clothes to be washed between the two fluted pressing boards, lay a loosecover of boards upon the top of the box to prevent splashing. Bring! down thelever which will cause the lluted boards to approach each other and squeeze the clothes into a mass at the middle of the cause-the iuted yboards to recede from each other, removing the water and leaving partial vacuums into which the clothes will roll on either side, opening and becoming loose, the hot water and soap iiowing back over r box. v Raise suddenly the lever which will` p l them. The before described vibrating ac@ tion of the lever being repeateda sufficient 4sire to secure by Letters Patent in the before described machine for washing clothes,
is- The manner of combining and arranging thev additional fluted board (B) pendulous rod (C) and connecting rod (J) between the usual` vibratory pressing board (B) and tween said swing boards, as above described the endy (A) of the Wash box, so as to have and set forth. a simultaneous movement With the same` j toWardor from, the middle of the Wash 5 box, as the end of the lever `israised and Witnesses:
lowered for squeezing and turning the WM. P. ELLIOT, clothes, at every vibration of the lever, ben Y JOHN MCCUNE.
DENNIS NEWTON.
