PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements appertaining to Pressure Regulating Devices and
Drip-boards for Washing, Wringing, and Mangling Machines.
We, EDWARD DAWSON, EDWIN BENTLEY and CHARLES JOSHUA COCKSHOTT,
all of Paragon Works, Keighley in the County of York, Machine Makers, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows, that is to say :-
The first part of our invention relates to pressure regulating devices for wringing
and mangling machines and consists of forming the cross rail or that part of the
framework through which the pressure regulating screw passes so that an
appropriately formed nut may be carried thereby instead of the thread for the
screw being formed in the rail or other part of framework by which means a
better thread may be formed therein while when the nut is only loosely inserted
therein should its thread deteriorate a new nut can be readily substituted for the
old one.
To accomplish this object we form a suitable opening in the rail or framework to
receive a nut of appropriate shape which we place loosely therein provided its
detachment may be desired, or which we cast into such rail or framework when it
is desired to have it permanently fixed.
The other part of the hole or opening in the rail or framework through which
the pressure screw passes is made by being straightly bored or otherwise so that
it forms ample support and guidance for said screw.
The second part of our invention relates to the drip-boards of washing wringing
and mangling machines and consists of forming same in the well-known manner
yet of such dimensions as will allow it to fit loosely within the framework and upon
the usual projecting pieces formed thereon, by which means the user may detach
same for the purpose of cleaning it as also for the purpose of turning it the
other side up and sliding it within other bearing pieces carried by the framework,
in which latter position it may be used as the mangle board.
In order to retain this board in its desired positions a winged screw is mounted
in the framework for pressing against said board. The mounting of this screw
being effected either by the framework being tapped or by an indent or hollow
part being formed therein to receive a detachable nut threaded or tapped for said
screw, while to prevent same from damaging said board a strip of metal is
attached to same for the end of the screw to press against.
Dated this 4th day of February 1895.

Drip-boards for Washing, Wringing, and Mangling Machines.
We, EDWARD DAWSON, EDWIN BENTLEY and CHARLES JOSHUA COCKSHOTT,
all of Paragon Works, Keighley in the County of York, Machine Makers, 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 :-
The first part of our invention relates to pressure regulating devices for wringing
and mangling machines and consists of forming the cross rail or that part of the
framework through which the pressure regulating screw passes so that an
appropriately formed nut may be carried thereby, instead of the thread for the
screw being formed in the rail or other part of the framework by which means
a better thread may be formed therein while when the nut is only loosely inserted;
should its thread deteriorate a new nut can be readily substituted for the
old one.
The second part of our invention relates to the drip-boards of washing, wringing
and mangling machines and consists of forming same in the well-known manner
yet of such dimensions as will allow it to fit loosely within the framework and
upon the usual projecting pieces formed thereon, so that the user may detach
same for the purpose of cleaning it as also for the purpose of turning it the other
side up and sliding it within other bearing pieces carried by the framework, in
which latter position it may be used as the mangle board.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings which are illustrative of our
invention;-
Figs. 1 and 2 are end and front elevations respectively of a sufficient portion
of a machine to show the application of our improvements.
Fig. 3 is front view enlarged scale of a portion of a machine and drip board and
shows the means by which the latter is secured in position.
Fig. 4 is sectional front elevation, enlarged scale, of a machine's cross rail and
parts in connection with it made in accordance with our invention.
A A indicates the end frame of the machine and B B the rollers.
To attain the object of the first part of our invention we form a suitable
opening a in the rail 6 (or provided other parts of the framework are used in
place of this rail 6 then such opening is made therein as required) to receive a
nut c of appropriate shape which we place loosely therein provided its detachment
is desired, or which nut c we cast into said rail 6 (or framework) when it is
desired to have it permanently fixed.
The other part a¹ a² of the hole or opening a through which the screw & passes,
is made by being straightly bored or otherwise produced so that it will form ample
support and guidance for the said screw d.
As to the second part of our invention we attain the object aimed at by making
the drip-board ffit loosely between the end frames A A as herein before stated, and
in order to retain this board fin its desired positions a winged screw g is mounted
in the framework A. for pressing against said board f. This screw g may be mounted
as desired either by the framework A being tapped or a screw thread formed
therein, or by an indent or hollow part as shown by Fig. 5 being formed to receive
a detachable nut h which is threaded or tapped for the screw g, while on the board f
a strip of metal & is attached to prevent the point of the screw g from damaging
same. By making the board f detachable as above described it may be used in the
position shown at f (Fig. 1) as a drip-board or by being detached inverted and
placed in position shown in broken lines at f¹ of same figure it will answer the
purposes of an ordinary mangle board.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is;-
1. The combination and arrangement of a cross rail or other part of the frame-
work of a wringing or mangling machine constructed to carry a detachable or
separately formed threaded nut, a nut to fit into said rail or other part, and a
pressure regulating screw, substantially as set forth.
2. In a wringing and mangling machine the method of forming the nut and
means for carrying same for the reception of the pressure screw substantially as
herein specified.
3. In a washing, wringing and mangling machine the combination of a detach-
able drip board with means for securing and holding same substantially as
specified.
