Improvements in Means for Locking or Fastening the Motor Parts
of Washing and like Machines.

We, RICHARD MOORE, WILLIAM HENRY MURTON and WILLIAM SAGAR VARLEY,
all of Anchor Iron Works, Keighley in the County of York, Machine Makers,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows, that is to say -
⚫ It relates to improvements in means for locking or fastening the motor parts of
washing and like machines, whereby said motor parts are held from being put into
operation by children or inexperienced persons and so the liability of accidents
incident thereto is obviated, and said improvements consist of arranging and
constructing said locking parts in such a manner that same may be cheaply produced,
readily applied, and yet be thoroughly efficient in their operations.
This we attain by mounting a stand or bracket upon any suitable part of the
framework of the machine, and upon this bracket loosely mounting a slidable bifurcated
piece, the bifurcations of which lay hold of one of the arms or the rim of the hand or
winch wheel and so hold same rigidly and firmly.
An appropriately formed handle is attached to the bifurcated piece so that same
may be readily manipulated, and if desired this handle may be so arranged, as by
having a crank pin attached to it, that it will retain the bifurcated piece either when
it is placed into or out of use.

Improvements in Means for Locking or Fastening the Motor Parts
of Washing and like Machines.
We RICHARD MOORE, WILLIAM HENRY MURTON and WILLIAM SAGAR VARLEY, all
of Anchor Iron Works, Keighley in the County of York, Machine Makers do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement, that is
to say :-
It relates to improvements in means for locking or fastening the motor parts of
washing and like machines, whereby said motor parts are held from being put into
operation by children or inexperienced persons and so the liability of accidents
incident thereto is obviated, and said improvements consist of arranging and con-
structing said locking parts in such a manner that same may be cheaply produced,
readily applied and yet be thoroughly efficient in their operations.
Hereunto appended is a sheet of drawings illustrative of our invention, to which by
figures and letters reference is made in the following description.
Fig. 1 is front elevation of a portion of a machine with our improved means
applied.
Fig. 2 is a top view of a portion of fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a similar portion to that shewn by fig. 1.
We attain the object of our invention by mounting a stand or bracket a upon any
suitable part of the framework b of the machine, such as the part illustrated. Upon
this bracket a is loosely mounted so as to slide, a bifurcated piece c, the bifurcations

page_text: are to lay hold of one or other of the arms dof the hand or winch wheel d and so
hold sane in a rigid and firm manner.
Instead of the bifurcated piece c-laying hold of one or other of the arms d' of the
wheel dit may be arranged to lay hold in any suitable manner of the rim of. said
wheel, however we preferably make use of the arrangement as illustrated.
A
Attached to the bifurcated piece cis a handle e by which this bifurcated..piece.c
may be readily manipulated, and.if desired this handle may be arranged, as shewn by
detail drawing fig. 4 el, so that it will retain the piece c at the extremity of each of. its
movements until the said. handle e¹ is rotated or moved for the purpose of moving said
piece c:
..:
Having now particularly.described and ascertained the nature of our said. inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that, what we
claim is ::
In combination with the motor parts of a washing or like machine; the bifurcated
piece and means for manipulating same substantially as herein set forth and
described.
