LAWRENCE W. MAMMEN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
CLOTHES-HOLDER FQR WASHING-MACHINES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 11, 1909.
Application filed Hay 1 1, 1908. Serial No. 432,951.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LAWRENCE W. MAM- MEN, citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Holders for VVashing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.
This invention is a clothes holder or receptacle for rotary washing machines, in which the holder is made to rotate within a tub or casing containing the water or suds, the clothes being held or contained within the receptacle and washed by water which enters the receptacle through openings in the side walls thereof.
The object of the invention is to improve the construction of such holders so as to give an advantageous action in the operation of washing the clothes, part of the side wall of the receptacle being formed to produce a rubber which will act upon the clothes therein as the machine is operated.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the holder or receptacle. Fig. 2 is an end view of the holder. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 33 of Fig. 1.
Referring specifically to the drawings, 3 indicates a middle plate on each side of which one of the holder sections is formed. Each section has an end wall 2 and a side wall formed partly of slats 4 and a corrugated piece of sheet metal 6, which extend between the middle and the end plates. The slats 4 have perforations 5, and part of the slats are fastened to segmental pieces 15 form ing a door which is hinged at 8 and which is fastened by turn buttons 9. The slats are also strengthened or supported by longitudinal pieces 16 and by segmental pieces 12, the latter being fastened to the middle and end plates by bolts 13. The corrugated part 6 is preferably formed of sheet metal fastened at its edges to the longitudinal pieces 16, but other material may be used if desired. The part of the wall formed by the slats a is semi-circular in cross section. The opposite part, made of the corrugated metal, is curved on an arc of greater radius than that of the wooden section, forming an 0blate or elongated chamber which is somewhat eccentric to the axis of rotation of the holder. The middle plate 3 is circular, but the end plates 2 are segmental on one side, to
correspond to the curvature of the segmental Wall 6.
At its ends the holder has trunnions 17 and 18 by means of which it is mounted to rotate in the tub (not shown), and to one of which the driving power may be applied. These trunnions are fastened to the end plates by means of a spider or disk and suitable fastening devices.
The circular parts of the respective sections of the holder are diametrically opposite each other, so that they are balanced and the holder will therefore rotate easily.
In consequence of the oblate or non-circular shape of the holder sections, an advantageous result is produced. As the holder is rotated the clothes within the same will be dropped upon the corrugated segments 6 and will be rubbed thereby, with greater effect than if the holder sections were perfect circles, the oblate shape acting to agitate the clothes and to throw them from one wall to the other, thereby materially increasing the efliciency of the washing action. The water will be placed at sufiicient height in the tub to allow the circular part of the side walls of the holders to dip therein at each rotation, but not full enough to iill or remain in the holder; consequently there is a constant movement of water int-o and out of the holder, through the holes 5, and at each rotation the clothes are dropped upon the corrugated rubber and subjected to the action thereof. The semi-circular side of the wall dips into the water at each rotation, but the segmental side does not, and consequently there is a constant agitation of the water in the .tub, acting to force the water into and out of the holder and through the clothes therein.
Various modifications with respect to material and particular details of construction may be made within the scope of the invention. Two sections of the holder are shown in the drawing. This number may be increased or decreased, if desired, within the scope of the invention.
I claim:
1. A rotary clothes holder for washing machines, comprising ends, and curved side walls therebetween, one of said walls being perforated and substantially semi-circular in cross section, and the other wall being corrugated lengthwise, and curved crosswise in segmental form, on an arc of less curvature than that of the semi-circular Wall.
2. A rotary clothes holder for washing machines comprising ends, and opposite walls therebetween curved on different radii, forming a symmetrical chamber oblate in cross section, one well being perforated and the other being corrugated.
3. A rotary clothes holder for washing machines comprising a circular middle plate, end plates on o posite sides thereof, and curved side walls between the middle and the end plates, said Walls being perforated in one part and corrugated in another part, the corrugated part being closer to the axis of rotation than the perforated part, forming chambers on opposite sides of the middle plate, said chambers being oppositely disposed with respect to the axis, so as to balance each other.
In testimony whereof I afliX my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
