Maker, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for AN IMPROVED
WASHING AND WRINGING MACHINE, to be as follows:-
Each side of the machine consists of two or more parts I J; the two parts being
attached by pins b, b, which allows the upper portion of the machine to fall into an
horizontal position (Fig. 1). The machine being fixed in its vertical position again
by the catches O, O. The top parts I, J, are connected by a cross bar (C), under each
end of which is the recesses for the springs A A, the pressure being put upon the
rollers as shown by the screws and hand wheels B B, and transmitted to the rollers
by the slides C, C, or any other known or common application of putting pressure
on the rollers. D is the driving wheel with pinion which transmits its motion to the
spur wheel F, and F E being in one piece gives motion to G, H.
The wheels E, G, H, are made of very coarse pitch of variable sizes.
The washing portion consists of a square or other form of outer case K which
connects the two or more parts I J of the machine together.
«
In the case K is the "cage" L, sliding vertically in the slots M. M. (Fig. 4) the
cage "deriving its vertical motion by the fork lever N which works on centres
at Q. Q. the fork lever N. can be taken off by being lifted out of the slot holes P. P.
(Fig. 5).
The bottom of the "cage" L. fixed or otherwise is made of longitudinal bars
YY Y. with spaces between them.
And further, in "cage" L. is another box (R) fixed, or otherwise, by the two
crossbars S. S.
It is so arranged that by twisting the handle W. the bottom made of cross-
bars T. T. will lift completely out. The bar V being centred at D the twisting of
which brings its ends out of the recesses C. C.
This machine may be made of any suitable material or combination of materials.
Dated this 5th day of March 1885.

Machine Maker do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for AN
IMPROVED WASHING AND WRINGING MACHINE and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
Referring to the drawings filed with my provisional specification each side of
the machine consists of two or more parts I J. the two parts being attached by
pins bb, which allows the upper portion of the machine to fall into an horizontal
position (Fig. 1). The machine being fixed in its vertical position again by the
catches O, O. The top parts I, J, are connected by a crossbar (C), under each end
of which is the recesses for springs A, A. The pressure being put upon the
rollers as shown by the screws and hand wheels B, B, and transmitted to the rollers
by the slides C, C, or any other known, or common application of putting pressure
on the rollers. D is the driving wheel with pinion which transmits its motion to
the spur wheel F, and F E being in one piece gives motion to G. H.
The wheels E. G. H. are made of very coarse pitch of variable sizes.
The washing portion consists of a square or other form of outer case K. which
connects the two or more parts I J. of the machine together.
"
In the case K is the "cage L." sliding vertically in the slots M M. (Fig. 4) the
cage" deriving its vertical motion by the fork lever N which works on centres
at QQ. the fork lever N. can be taken off by being lifted out of the slot holes P. P.
(Fig. 5).
The bottom of the "cage " L fixed or other-wise is made of longitudinal bars
Y Y Y. with spaces between them.
And further, in the "cage" L is another box R, fixed or otherwise, by the two
crossbars S. S.
It is so arranged that by twisting the handle W. the bottom made of cross-
bars T T. will lift completely out. The bar V being centered at D the twisting of
which brings its ends out of the recesses C. C. This machine may be made of any
suitable material or combination of materials.
CLAIMS.
(1.) What I claim is the particulars as set forth, and as shown in the drawings
as annexed to my provisional specification.
(2.) The application of lowering or raising any part or parts of the wringing
and washing machine, into a smaller compass.
(3.) Also the application of compressing or washing any flexible material.
