PROVISIONAL SPECIFICA
Improvements Appertaining to Washing, Wringing and Mangling
Machines.
I, HENRY CROFTS LONGSDON, of Thorn Croft, Keighley, in the County of York,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows, that
is to say:
to receive an
an improved device for use in connection with washing,
It relates to
wringing and mangling machines to afford support for, or
oil can so that same shall be appropriately held in readiness for use and that
without liability to throw or discharge any of its contents on to any parts of the
machines which are to be kept clean for the contact of the clothes.
To attain this object I form a suitable hollow or dish-shaped support for being
secured to or formed integrally with any part of the machines' framework.
This support or receptacle is made of an appropriate shape to hold the vessel
or can containing the lubricant and in such a manner as to prevent the vessel
from being dislodged, while should the vessel leak or any of its contents overflow,
said support will receive same, thus preventing it from falling or flowing into
contact with any part of the machine that is to be kept clean.

Improvements Appertaining to Washing, Wringin
Machines.
I, HENRY CROFTS LONGSDON, of Thorn Croft, Keighley, in the County of York,
Engineer, 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:-
-
to receive an
an improved device for use in connection with washing,
It relates to
wringing and mangling machines to afford support for, or
oil can so that same shall be appropriately held in readiness for use and that
without liability to throw or discharge any of its contents on to any parts of the
machines which are to be kept clean for the contact of the clothes being treated
by such machines.
The accompanying sheet of drawings which is illustrative of my invention:-

page_text: Fig. 1 is a front elevation of sufficient of the upper part of a machine to show
the application thereto of my improved device.
Fig. 2 is a view of the parts shown by Fig. 1 as seen from above.
To attain the object of my invention I form a suitable hollow or dish-shaped
support a to be secured to or formed integrally with any part of the machine's
framework b, but preferably I have it attached to the part shown.
This receptacle or support a is made of an appropriate shape to hold the vessel
or can (shown in broken lines Figs. 1 and 2) containing the lubricant, and in
such a manner as to prevent the vessel from being dislodged during the ordinary
usage to which the machine is put, while should the vessel leak or any of its
content overflow, said support a will receive same thus preventing it from falling
or flowing into contact with any part of the machine that is to be kept clean.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:―
In combination with a machine of the class described, a support or receptacle
the same being constructed and secured substantially as herein specified.
Dated this on day of December 1896.
