Improvements in End Frames for Wringing and Mangling
Machines.
We JOHN WHITTAKER, HENRY WHITTAKER, and WILLIAM WHITTAKER, Wringing
and Washing Machine Makers, all of Pioneer Works, Accrington in the County of
Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :—
This invention relates to improved construction of end frames and cross stays for
wringing and mangling machines whereby we secure great strength and a lighter
frame than those made of the usual H section.
According to this our invention we employ T wrought iron the web of the iron
being inwards or towards the centre of the machine. The several parts are bent
to the desired form and connected together by running cast iron over and about the
joints. The webs of the cross stays form convenient bearings for a board, tray, or
other receptacle, without the aid of lugs or bolts heretofore necessary.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in End Frames for Wringing and Mangling
Machines.
We JOHN WHITTAKER, HENRY WHITTAKER, and WILLIAM WHITTAKER, Wringing
and Washing Machine Makers, all of Pioneer Works, Accrington in the County of
Lancaster, 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 :-
This invention relates to improved construction of end frames and cross stays for
wringing and mangling machines whereby we secure great strength and a lighter
frame than those made by the usual H section.
According to this our invention we employ T wrought iron the web of the iron
being inwards or towards the centre of the machine. The several parts are bent
to the desired form and connected together by running cast iron over, and about the
joints. The webs of the cross stays form convenient bearings for a board, tray, or
other receptacle without the aid of lugs, or bolts heretofore necessary.
Such being the nature, and object of our invention the following is a complete
description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in
which :-
Fig. 1 is a view of an end frame constructed according to our said invention.
Fig. 2 is a section of the shaped wrought iron which we employ in the con-
struction of end frames.
Fig. 3 is an end elevation, partly in section, of the lower part of the end frame,
shewing the cross stays, and board, or tray.
.
According to this our said invention we employ wrought iron 1 of section (see
Fig. 2) the web 2 of the iron being placed inwards, or towards each other, and the
centre of the machine.
The several pieces of the wrought iron 1 are bent to the desired form, and
connected together by running cast iron over, and about the joints 3 so that they are
held securely. The webs 2 of the cross stays 4 form convenient bearings for a tray,
or board 5, or other receptacle, without the aid of lugs, or bolts heretofore necessary,
and thus a convenient, "basket stand or table is provided.

page_text: End frames constructed of shaped iron as described, are lighter, and cheaper
than frames of iron of H section as heretofore employed, and at the same time are
equally as strong.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
End frames and cross stays of wringing, mangling, or washing machines constructed
of shaped wrought iron, the joints held together by running molten metal thereon
as described and illustrated.
