Definitions

  • FRANK A ADAMS, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO BURT G. OLNEY, OF ROME, NEW YORK, AND FLORENCE C. BAILEY, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK.
  • My invention relates to agitating machines particularly adapted for washing clothes or the like, and it has for its object to afford a practical and efficient mechanism, of a form that can be economically manufactured and lends itself readily to a small size machine, which may be of a portable character for handling a small wash.
  • An additional purpose of the improvement is to provide a machine such as mentioned above, of the suction cup type, in which the cups are reciprocated within a clothes receptacle, and are also intermittently rotated.
  • Still a further object of my invention is to provide a simple mechanism by which water power can be employed in the operation of a machine of the type referred to, the parts being constructed and arranged in such a manner as to give an extremely easy control, with little likelihood of the mechanism becoming in any way disarranged.
  • Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a machine showing a preferred embodiment of the invention, with the suction cups in their uppermost position.
  • Figure 2 is a similar view, with parts broken away, showing the suction cups in their lowermost position.
  • Figure 3 is a plan view
  • Figure 4 is a detail side elevation of the interlocking ratchet members, which connect the actuating device with the carrier, and serve to impart intermittent rotary'motion to the latte
  • the principles of the invention, as expressed in the claims hereinafter, may be practically adapted in a variety of ways, and it is to be understood that the present disclosure is entirely for illustrative purposes, and
  • A designates a clothes and water receptacle, having a cover B, and a bot-tom Q, provided with suitable supporting legs.
  • Sald legs are designated at a, and are mounted in metallic sockets b fixed to the bottom.
  • One of said sockets b is adjustable on the bottom, as indicated by dotted lines in Figure 1 and full lines in Figure 2, so that with a three legged support, by adjusting one of said legs, the device can be adapted to rest upon the rim of any wash basin, regardless of the size of the opening in the basin.
  • the machine is intended primarily for water power operation, and being also of a portable nature, would frequently be employed on bathroom basins or sink basins, and the adiustable leg construction just described makes this conveniently possible.
  • suctlon cups Arranged within the receptacle are suctlon cups, or equivalent water and clothes agitating devices designated at D, each cup" being mounted on an arm d, which in turn is fixedly attached to a carrier that is adapted to be reciprocated vertically and rotated intermittently.
  • This carrier may be constructed in various ways, and I have shown it as comprising an arbor e, to which is fixedly gciniii ected a tubular member or hollow spin- The carrier just described is governed by a reciprocatory actuating device connected thereto, and preferably in the form of a piston designated generally at E and secured to the lower end of the tubular member 7.
  • the spindle E travels back and forth in a cylinder F underthe action of water which is admitted alternately to opposite ends of the cylinder, so as to act on opposite sides of the piston, and the flow of water is automatically reversed by the travel of the piston, in the manner that will now be made clear.
  • the cylinder F is arranged within and spaced from a cylindrical casing G, through which water passes to reach the upper end of the cylinder, entering the latter through openings 9. Water reaches the cylindrical housing G through a port it which communi cates with the valve chamber 2', into which opens the water inlet H.
  • J and J are the controlling valves which are mounted on a inder, as shown in Figure 2.
  • valve rod J slidable valve rod J and act alternately to admit the flow of water to port h, as shown in Figure 1, and to the lower end of the cyl-
  • a bell-crank pivoted. at 7: and having one end connected to the valve rod, and the other end pivotally connected to a link 7;.
  • the latter is mounted on a controlling rod provided with a head it at its upper end which telescopes within; the tubular member f. 6
  • a spring actuated plunger n is employed which cooperates with the short arm n of the bell-crank, and serves to hold it in either extreme position, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the operative end of the plunger n is tapered so that when the valve rod is reversed, the plunger will readily yield under the water pressure, and permit the bell-crank to move past.
  • a stationary cap K Arranged on the top of the casing G is a stationary cap K, and arranged within said cap K, and surrounding the hollow spindle f, is a sleeve L which is provided with a cam-slot 0.
  • Engaging said cam-slot 0 is a stationary abutment, in the form of a pin 39, threaded into the cap K, so that as the sleeve L moves vertically, it is given a turning motion by the pinp.
  • the sleeve L is adapted to be engaged and moved upwardly by the piston E, and provision is made, for locking these parts together during their upward travel, so that the rotary motion of the sleeve L is imparted to the piston E, and consequently to the carrier and to the. cups D.
  • the piston has fixed thereabove a ratchet member in the form of a plate 9 with ratchet teeth q, which cooperate with corresponding ratchet teeth 9?. formed at the lower end. of the ratchet member or sleeve L.
  • the sleeve L is returned to its normal position by the spring 1", and during the downward travel of the sleeve L, its teeth Q2- ride overthe teeth g on the piston without turning the latter.
  • the piston and the suction cups are turned slightly at each reciprocation, always however turning in the same direction so that an intermittent rotation is effected.
  • a carrier a reciprocatory water-controlled piston connected to the carrier, and means 7 acting automatically to impart an intermitw tent rotative movement to the carrier.
  • a receptacle with a fluid actuated motor comprising a cylinder extending upward therein from the bottom, a piston and piston rod; and an agitator, opcrating within the receptacle, carried by the piston rod.
