DRIVING MECHANISM.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 22, 1910.
Application filed December 1, 1909. Serial No. 530,869.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN BECKER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Canal'Dover, in the countypf Tuscarawas and State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Driving Mechanism, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. My invention relates to driving mechanisms more particularly for washing machines and the like, and has for an ob ect to provide a driving mechanism for driving a washing machine,'and a wringer mounted on the washing machine. Y The purpose of my invention isto pro vide a driving mechanism for washing machines for quickly and efiiciently washing materials and operated by a motor, and a wringer attached to the washing machine for wringing the materials that have been washed by the Washing machine, the said wringer being adapted to beoperated indeendently of the said washing machine-but y the same motor used to operate the-washing'machine.
'An embodiment of my invention partakes of a driving mechanism for washing machines and comprises a washing machine and a wringer independently operated by a motor secured to the framework of the washtain features as will hereinafter be more fully described and specified and particularly set forth in the ap ended claim.
Reference is to be ha to the accompanying drawings formin a partof this specification, in which simi ar charactersof reference denote'corresponding parts in all the views, and in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of my inven-.
tion, parts beingbroken away to s ow the under ying structure and the dotted lines showing an active position of the motor and parts'connected thereto,-when the agitator is removed from the tub; Fig. 2 is a plan view of my driving mechanism as applied to a washing machine; Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 3-3 in Fig. 1; Fig. 4: is a sectional side view of one'portion of the gearing of my mechanism, and the eccentric cut-out, taken on the line 4'4= in Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 is an enlarged. sectional side vlew taken on the line 55 in Fig. 1, and showing the gearing employed to facilitate the operation of the wringer of my washing machine, operated by m driving mechanism.
An adjusting wheel 24, secured to a screw 25 and having a locking wheel 26, is prosecond gear wheel 30 is mounted on the movable member 16, and secured to the wheel is apitman 31, connected to atoothed member.
32 inengagement with a segment-a1 gear 33 mounted in the brackets20 and keyed to the agitator shaft 21.
nects the motor 34'with the belt pulley 28. The ear wheel 30 is loosely held on an .ec centric shaft 35", to whicliJ-is secured a lever 36', ascan be seen b referring to Fig. 3.
-A wash wringer 3 of any standard type is attached to the framework 11 by means of screws 37, and provided with a sprocket wheel 38, over which is passed a sprocket. chain 39, the said chain also passing over'a framework 11 by means ofa bearing 45. s 10 Mounted in bearings on the standar and secured to the other end of the shaft 46 is a. sprocket wheel 47, over which is passed a, sprocket chain 48, the said chain also pass- .ing over a sprocket wheel-49 keyed to a shaft 5 0 mounted in a bearing 51 on the framework 11. The other end of the shaft '50 has keyed thereon a bevel friction wheel 52. A shelf 53 is mounted onthe framework 11 beneath the wringer 37 'The operation of my driving mechanism is as follows: The movable member 16 is raised to the position shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 1, and the materials to be washed are inserted in the tub, which has been previousl filled with water and the proper ingre ients adapted to cleanse clothes or the like. The member 16 is then 'moved to the position shown in full lines in Fig. 1 and locked to the framework 11 by means of the lock 18 on the member 16 and the catch 19 onthe framework 11. i The motor 34 is now started and causes the agitator 22 to operate and wash the clothes or materials in the tub 13. When the washing operation is completed, the lever 36 is thrown to the position shown in dotted lines inEig. 3., and this movement disengages the gear wheels 29 and 30,'thereby causing the agitator 22 to cease operating. The lock 18 is-then released and the movable member 16 is moved upward to the ,vertical position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. When the member 16 is in this position, the friction roller 36 on the motor 34 en ages the friction wheel 52 and by means of t e difl'erent driving parts heretofore described the wringer 37-issetv in operation and the clothes in the tub 13 are passed through the wringer 37 in the regular way. The shelf 53 beneath the wringer 37 catches the water which drips being fully defined in the appen ed' claim.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
In combination, two active mechanisms, a movable member having one of said mechanisms mounted thereon and the said member bein movable into two active ositions, driving means on the member, a apted to operate the mechanism on the member when the member is in one active osition and the said driving means being a apted to o erate the other mechanism when the sald member is in its other active position, offset shaft means on the movable member for disengaging the mechanism on the movable membnfrom the driving means and a reciprocatlng shaft on the movable member adapted to be driven by the mechanism on the member.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in of two subscribing witnessesf JOHN BECKER.
