An Improved Washing Dasher, Dolly, or Plunger, Applicable also
as a Water Circulator in Washing Clothes.
I JOSEPH WADDINGTON of Fletcher Street Ventilator Works, Bury in the county
of Lancaster, Ventilator Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this Invention
to be as follows:-
My dolly consists of a conical dasher of zinc, tin, copper, wood, or other suitable
substance, inside near the base is a convex or concave plate or lining, this plate has
one or other number of holes communicating with the outside, and a central hole or
tube with or without holes, communicating with the outside, this central tube may be.
fitted with an ordinary wood handle, or with a hollow handle of metal or other
suitable material, and may have any number of openings therein, this dasher may be
used either as a plunger or dasher in the tub instead of the old peggy, or may be.
placed in the set pan or boiler to assist in the circulation of the water by its passing
up through the openings and so distributing and circulating it amongst the clothes.
This construction of dasher is very much easier to work than the ordinary con-
struction, the holes destroy the vaccum which forms under the plate.

I JOSEPH WADDINGTON of Fletcher Street Ventilator Works Rochdale Road, Bury
in the County of Lancaster, Ventilator Manufacturer, 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 :-
My dolly consists of a conical circular dasher of zinc, tin, copper, wood or other
suitable substance; inside near the base is a convex concave, curved or straight plate
or lining, this plate has one or other number of holes communicating with the outside,
and a central hole or tube with or without holes communicating with the outside,
this central tube may be fitted with an ordinary wood handle, or with a hollow handle,
of metal or other suitable material, and may have any number of openings therein; this
dasher may be used either as a plunger or dasher, used in the tub instead of the old
peggy or may be placed in the set pan or boiler to assist in the circulation of the
water by its passing up through the openings, and so distributing and circulating it.
amongst the clothes.
This construction of dasher is very much easier to work than the ordinary con-
struction as no suction or vacuum can be formed under the plate.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation in section of my improved dasher.
Fig. 2 is a sectional modification of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a modification in section showing tube when used as a water circulator.
Figs. 4 and 5 are sectional modifications of Fig. 1.
A is the dasher, B is the convex or concave plate or lining having one or more
holes C, D is the handle, E the tube for handle, F is the circulating tube.
G are holes through the tube E, H are holes through the side of washer.
When the dasher is used as a circulator by being placed in the boiler for assisting
in the washing of the clothes, the tube F can be fixed to the washer, or can be made
so as to screw in and out, so as to be taken out when used as a dasher, and screwed in
when used as a circulator.
The holes may be varied in size, number, or position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The construction of dashers with a connecting inner tube E, concave, convex,
curved or straight plates B, and suitable holes which may be used either as a dasher
or circulator, as and for the purposes shown and described.
Dated this Sixth day of March 1888.
