Improvements in Washing Machines, applicable also to Churns.
We, HENRY PAUL GLAZEBROOK, of Castle Street, Northwich, in the County of
Chester, Pork Butcher, and CLIFFORD GEORGE PRESTON, of Chester Road, Northwich,
aforesaid, Grocer and Provision Dealer, do hereby declare the nature of this in-
vention to be as follows:-
or
This invention relates to washing machines of the type in which a "dolly"
peggy
or the like is caused to rotate to and fro and is designed to give in
addition to the reciprocating rotary movement an up and down movement and
"possing" movement thereto.
The pegs are supported by an upright shaft or spindle capable of being rotated
in either direction to which a reciprocating rotary movement is imparted by bevel
or cog wheels or crank or other device. We prefer at present to employ two
wheels on the spindle with which one or two bevel wheels gear which are seg-
mental or are provided with teeth only over part of their circumference to alter-
nately gear with the wheels on the spindle.
A second or inner spindle is raised and lowered as the wheels rotate by means
of an eccentric cam, screw or equivalent mechanism operated by the rotating
shaft.
Instead of a second shaft or spindle the cog wheels may be supported by the
framing to rotate with the shaft and a single shaft or spindle be raised and
lowered through them.
The apparatus may also be used for churning by the removal of the dolly and
employing a suitable beater.
It is supported by framing of any suitable arrangement and may be attached to
an ordinary dolly tub or suitable receptacle. The framing is pivoted at one
side and is arched over the tub so that the dolly pegs may be raised above the edge
and the whole appliance swing clear of the tub to permit of the introduction and
withdrawal of the clothes.

Improvements in Washing Machines, applicable also to Churns.
We, HENRY PAUL GLAZEBROOK, of Castle Street, Northwich, in the County of
Chester, Pork Butcher, and CLIFFORD GEORGE PRESTON, of Chester Road, Northwich
aforesaid, Grocer and Provision Dealer, 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:--
or
This invention relates to washing machines of the type in which a "dolly"
peggy" or the like is caused to rotate to and fro and is designed to give in
addition to the reciprocating rotary movement an up and down movement and
possing" movement thereto.
"
The invention may also be applied to the dasher or beater of a churn. For
washing the " pegs and for churning the dasher are carried at the extremity of
an upright shaft. The pegs are supported by an upright shaft or spindle capable
of being rotated in either direction to which a reciprocating rotary movement is
imparted.
The invention will be fully described with reference to the accompanying
drawings.
Fig. 1. Longitudinal sectional elevation.
Fig. 2. Transverse sectional elevation.
Fig. 3. Plan.
Fig. 4. Enlarged elevation of actuating mechanism partly in section.
Fig. 5. Elevation of same from one side.
Fig. 6. Elevation of same from other side.
The vertical spindle A by which the pegs B (or dasher in a churn) are carried
is supported in bearings in which it is free to rotate-being operated by the
bevel wheels D and E one being secured to the spindle A by a long key or
feather which permits of the spindle A moving longitudinally and the other
mounted on a spindle e affixed to the framing F.
To the spindle A is affixed a sliding cross head G by which it is raised and
lowered and on which it is journalled to rotate.
To one side of the cross head G is attached a connecting rod H engaging with
a crank on the driving spindle K by which it is reciprocated or moved up and
down. The driving spindle K is actuated by the hand wheel L and spur wheels
or by belt and pulley or in any other suitable way.
To the other side of the cross head G is attached a second connecting rod M
longer than the connecting rod H which is connected by a pin to a lug e¹ on the
bevel wheel E by which as the cross head G is raised and lowered an oscillating
movement is imparted to the bevel wheel E which is transmitted by the wheel D
to the spindle A as it is moved up and down.
In another arrangement two wheels may be placed on the spindle with which
one or two bevel wheels gear which are segmental or are provided with teeth only
over part of their circumference to alternately gear with the wheels on the spindle.
A second or inner spindle is raised and lowered as the wheels rotate by means of
an eccentric cam, screw or equivalent mechanism operated by the rotating shaft.
The driving apparatus is supported by the framing F of any suitable shape or
arrangement and may be applied to an ordinary dolly tub N or suitable receptacle.
The tub or framing may be pivoted at one side and arched over the tub so that
the dolly pegs may be raised above the edge and the whole appliance swing clear
of the tub to permit of the introduction and withdrawal of the clothes.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature or
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:-
:-
1. In a washing machine or churn the combination with a receptacle of a
vertical reciprocating spindle A actuated by bevel wheels D and E of the cross
head G the connecting rod H, crank g, driving spindle K and second connecting
rod M arranged substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. A washing machine or churn having the several parts constructed and
arranged in combination substantially as described and shown.
