Machines for Washing, Wringing, and Mangling Fabrics.
I, HENRY LEACH WILSON, trading as Taylor and Wilson, Atlas Works Clayton
le Moors Accrington in the County of Lancaster, Washing, Wringing and Mangling
machine maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention relates to the mountings of boards as aforesaid whereby such boards
are supported and held either vertically so as to protect the rollers and facilitate
packing of the machine for transit, or in the horizontal position for mangling.
According to this my invention I attach or cast to one of the end frames a lug or
plate in which is a projection formed after the shape of the letter U but having two
recesses one in the bottom of the U the other in its side.
On the opposite side frame is a like lug or plate having a U shaped projection there
being in this but one recess which is formed in the side of the U.
Upon each edge of the mangling board is an iron clip extending the width of the
board and provided with slot holes by means of which and screws, the board can be
secured to the said clip at correct distance from the rollers by means of screws.
On the inner end of the side clip is a projection which is received in the U plate,
one of such projections has a neb or angular piece which when the board is in the
horizontal position, supports the board by the side recess of the U, when the board is
in the vertical position the bottom recess of the U supports the board. The other side
plate has a circular support for the board when in the vertical or upright position.
Dated this 23rd day of September.

Machines for Washing, Wringing, and Mangling Fabrics.
I HENRY LEACH WILSON, trading as Taylor and Wilson, Atlas Works, Clayton-
le-Moors, Accrington in the County of Lancaster, Washing, Wringing and Mangling
Machine Maker 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 the mountings of boards as aforesaid whereby such
boards are supported, and held either vertically so as to protect the rollers, and
facilitato packing of the machine for transit, or in the horizontal position for
mangling.
According to this my said invention I attach, or cast to one of the end frames a lug
or plate in which is a projection formed after the shape of the letter but having
two recesses, one in the bottom of the U, the other in its side.
On the opposite side frame is a like lug, or plate having a U shaped projection
there being in this but one recess, which is formed in the side of the U.
Upon each edge of the mangling board is an iron clip extending the width of the
board, and provided with slot holes by means of which, and screws, the board can be
secured to the said clip at correct distance from the rollers.
On the inner end of the side clip is a projection which is received in the U plate,
and a neb or angular piece which when the board is in the horizontal position, supports
the same by the side recess of the U, when the board is in the vertical position the
bottom recess of the U supports the board.-The other side plate has a circular
support for the board when in the vertical, or upright position.
Such being the nature, and object of my said invention the following is a complete
description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which :-
Fig. 1. is an inside elevation of part of end frame shewing the lugs, or plates, and
boards in position.
Fig. 2. is a front elevation of side clip, and part of board.
Fig. 3 is side, or plan view of Fig. 2.
The several figures on sheet 2 are details drawn to enlarged scale, (Full size).
According to this my invention I attach or cast to one of the end frames 1 a
lug, or plate 2 in which is a projection 3 formed somewhat after the shape of the
letter but having two recesses 4. 5. one in the bottom of the U the other in its
side.
On the opposite side of the frame 1 is a like lug or plate 2ª baving a U shaped
projection there being in this but one recess 5ª which is formed in the side of the
plate 2º.
Upon each edge of the mangling board 6 is an iron clip 7 extending the width of
the board 6 and provided with slot holes 8. 8. by means of which, and screws, the
board 6 can be secured to the said clip 7 at a correct distance from the rollers 9. 9.

page_text: On the inner end of the side clip 7 is a projection 10 which is received in
the U plate 2 and 2ª and a neb, or angular piece 11 which when the board is in the
horizontal position supports the said board 6 by the side recess 5 of the U, and when
the board is in the vertical position the bottom recess 4 and the top recess 4* of
the U supports the board 6.
The other side plate has a circular support 12 for the board 6 when in the vertical,
or upright position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature, and object of my
said invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The mountings, and bearings in combination with the side clips, and board all sub-
stantially as described-illustrated-and for purpose set forth.
