We BENJAMIN HINDLE, Blacksmith and JAMES SYLVESTER HARVEY, Mechanic,
both of Atlas Works, Clayton-le-Moors, in the County of Lancaster, do hereby
declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION.
AND ARRANGEMENT OF DRIVING GEAR, AND IN GUARDS FOR THE SAME, APPLICABLE
TO WRINGING, MANGLING, AND WASHING MACHINES" to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is, to secure compactness in the gearing, thereby to.
reduce the size of the wheel guard, and to obviate the necessity of having the stud
or outside lower pinion.
According to this our invention, we key on the shaft of the bottom roller, a
plate gear wheel, and star tooth wheel, these are cast together, outside such wheels
is the hand or fly wheel, having a toothed pinion cast to or forming a part of its
boss, the fly wheel and pinion, are loose on the bottom shaft, the pinion gears with
and drives a plate wheel above it, inside which is a pinion, gearing with the tooth
plate wheel first referred to, and which drives the latter, and its star gear wheel,
the latter gears with a like star wheel, on the axis of the top roller shaft, whereby
the latter and its roller receive motion, there being no bottom, or outer pinion
wheel, necessary.

Improvements in the Construction and Arrangement of Driving
Gear and in Guards for the same, Applicable to Wringing,
Mangling, and Washing Machines.
We BENJAMIN HINDLE, Blacksmith, and JAMES SYLVESTER HARVEY, Mechanic,
both of Atlas Works, Clayton-le-Moors, in the County of Lancaster, do hereby
declare the nature of the said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION
AND ARRANGEMENT OF DRIVING GEAR AND IN GUARDS FOR THE SAME APPLICABLE
TO WRINGING, MANGLING, AND WASHING MACHINES " and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :—
The object of this invention is, to secure compactness in the gearing, thereby to
reduce the size of the wheel guard and to obviate the necessity of having the stud
or outside lower pinion.
Such being the nature and object of the said invention, the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings
forming a part of this specification in which
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of the improved gear and guard constructed
according to this invention.
Fig. 2 is an end view of the same partly in section.
According to this invention, we key on the shaft 1 of the bottom roller 2 a plate
gear wheel 3, and star tooth wheel 4, these are cast together-Outside such wheels
is the hand or flywheel 5, having a toothed pinion 6, cast to or forming a part of
its boss, the fly wheel 5, and pinion 6, are loose on the bottom shaft 1, the pinion 6
gears with and drives a plate wheel 7, above it, inside which is a pinion 8 gearing
with the tooth plate wheel 3, and which drives the latter, and its star gear wheel 4,
the latter gears with a like star wheel 9, on the axis 10 of the top roller 11,
whereby the axis 10 and its roller 11 receive motion there being no bottom, or outer
pinion wheel, necessary-12 is the guard which is secured to the framing 13 by
means of set screws or bolts 14.
It will be seen that the construction and arrangement of gearing and wheel
guard as above described, renders the whole compact, and òbviates the necessity
of the stud, or outside lower pinion as heretofore used.
t
Having now particularly described, and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare, that what
we claim is
'
1. The construction, arrangement, and combination of driving gear for purpose
described, and as illustrated by the annexed drawings..
2. The construction, arrangement, and combination of gear and guard as herein
described and substantially as illustrated by the drawings annexed.
