Definitions

  • My invention relates to improvements in clothes-pounders of the manually operated type, and one of the main objects of my invention is to' improve the construction of clothes-pounders by making the same of simple and economical construction.
  • Another object of my invention is to construct a clothes-pounder of the character described with a simple form of soap receptacle so arranged as not to obstruct the interior of the clothes-pounder, thereby producing a clothes-pounder of maximum ca- 29 pacity for lifting water therein.
  • Another object of my invention is to construct a clothes-pounder of the character described with a soap receptacle so arranged that the clothes-pounders may be nested for the purpose of shipping'the same thereby reducing the bulk of the package containing the pounders.
  • Another object of my invention is to produce a clothes-pounder of the-character de- 39 scribed with a soap receptacle so arranged that the soap therein maybe mixed with the water at the will of the operator.
  • Fi ure 1 is a vertical, sectional view of a c othes-pounder embodying the preferred form of my invention 'g. 2 is an inverted plan view thereof.
  • Ei 3 is a vertical, sectional view of a modifled form of my invention.
  • F' 4 is an inverted plan view of the forms own in Fig. 3.
  • Fig. 5 is a pers ectivev'iew of the cap of the soap receptac e shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
  • Fig. 6 is a vertical, sectional view of another modified; form of my invention.
  • Fig. 7 is an inverted pl nview of-the form shown in Fig. 6.
  • Fig.% is a side elevation of the soap receptacle used.
  • the clothes-pounder shown in' Figs. 1 and 2 comprises an' approximately conical body 1 equipped on its interior face with a plurality of vertically disposed air chambers 2 I PatentedOctJ. 1912.
  • the clothes-pounder is provided with a handle socket 4 consisting of a short tube 5 which extends through the top or 9. ex 6 of the conical body 1, the lower ed 6 of the tube 5 being flared outwardly an extending into engagement with the inner wall of the conical body 1, as clearly shown in Fig. 1.
  • the tube 5 is tapered, as indicated, the largest diameter of the tube being at the u per end thereof, so that the operating han e 8 may be readily inserted in the socket 4.
  • the handle 8 to be readily removed' therefrom after the handle 8 has become wet and swollen through the frequent immersions of the same in the water during thewashing operation.
  • Theso-tp by a portion of the walls of the conical .body 1 and a cap 11.
  • the cap 11 is provided with a rounded body portion 12 terminating in acircular flange 13, which. circular flange is adapted to extend into and engage a circular groove or seat 14 formed in the walls of the body 1 by pressing the same outwardly, as indicated in Fig. 1.
  • the receptacle 10 is formed partly dicated at 15, during the operation of washing the clothes.
  • the cap 11 is provided with .a ring 16 mounted on the under side thereof, so that the cap may be readily removed from the seat when-it is so desired.
  • the cap 11 is provided with a series of perforations, indicated at 17, so that water may pass freely therethrough, coming into contact with the soap within the receptacle and thereby forming suds for the washing 0 oration.
  • the air chambers 52 are provided with openings 18 formed. in the conical walls of, the body 1, so that during the upward stroke of-the pounder any vacuum formed by the conical body 1 1s broken as soon-as" the openings 18 are higher han the surface of the water.
  • each form of clothes pounder herein shown and described is used in the usual manner by raising and lowering the same in water -:in whichthe c: thes have been placed, the up stroke of the clothespounder creating a suction within the pounder and the down strokepf the pounder forcing air and water through the clothes.
  • a and 5 the body 1 of the pounder, the air chambers 2, and the handle socket 4 are all of the same form as that shown and described in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • the cup 20 is preferably formed of metal having some elasticity so that the same may be pressed into a circular groove 23 formed in the wall of the body 1 adjacent the upper end thereof, and when so placed the edge of the cup engages the groove or seat so that the same is held securely therein until such time as it is desired to remove the same from the seat E23.- .111 l'ioth the form shown in Figs; 1 and 2 and the form shown in Figs. 3, 4t and the soap receptacle consists of a portion of the conical walls of the body 1 and a cap, which cap is adapted to engage the seat or groove formed in the walls of thebody 1.
  • the conical body 1 is provided with a handle so ket 25 formed as an extension from the apex of the body 1, which socket 25 is formed with a circular groove or seat 26 adapted to be engaged bythe outwardly liar-ed upp r edge of the neck 27 a soap receptacle 2%, the neck 27 of the recepinch. being slotted, as lndicated at 29, to
  • the air chambers 2 are the ame form of construction as those heretotore described in connection with F 1 t,-
  • the soap reccpi arl is placed within the conical body 1 adof soap mixed with the water may be controlled by the length of stroke of the pounder, as with a long stroke more water enters the soap receptacle and produces more suds than when the pounder is not pressed as deeply into the water.
  • This construction also permits a free unobstructed chamber within the conical body, thereby giving a greater lifting capacity to the conical shaped member, and also produces a construction ideal for shipping quantities of pounders, at which time, if desired, the caps of the soap receptacles may be removed and the conical body members 1 closely nested to form a compact package, or the caps of the soap receptacles may be left on the respective soap receptacles, in which case the pounders may be nested, but not as com- 7 pact-1y as when the caps have been removed. In either case, however, the saving in bulk is great over that of the forms of clothespounders where the handle socket extends downwardly through the central membep and is provided with a soap receptacle adjacent to the open end of the conical body member 1.
  • a clothes-pounder comprising anapproximately conical body, a handle socket on the apex end of said body,and a soap receptacle Within said body at the apex thereof.
  • a clothes-pounder comprising an approximately conical body, a handle socket at ,iacent to the apex thereof so that the amount 1 the apex end of said body, said body having a circular seat formed therein, and a cap adapted to engage in said seat to form a soap receptacle.
  • a clothes-pounder comprising an approximately coni'cal body, a handle socket at the apex end of said body, said body having a circular seat formed therein adjacent the apex end thereof, a cap having a plurality of perforations therein, and a circular flange on said cap adapted: to engage in the circular seat in said conical body;
  • a clothes-pounder comprising an approximately conical body, a handle socket secured to the apex of said body, said socket extending upwardly and outwardly therefrom, a plurality of semi-conical sheet members secured to the inner side of said conical body to form a series of "vertically disposed air chambers, said conical body having a series of perforations each opening into one of said air chambers and a circular seat formed therein above said air chambers, and a perforated cap adapted to engage sa'id seatto form a soap receptacle within saidconical body adjacent the apex thereof.
