PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Construction of Frame for Washing, Wringing, Hay

I, ALFRED HIRST of the Firm of B. Hirst and Sons of Britannia Works,
Halifax, Yorkshire, Machine Makers, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:
The object of my invention is to construct a new form of frame for above named
machines, which combines lightness with strength, and also neatness of appearance,
whilst breakages are reduced to a minimum.
In constructing a frame according to my invention, I make use of channelled
steel bars or channelled wrought iron bars suitably bolted or rivetted together,
whilst some of the channelled bars have suitable portions of the parts composing
the framework, cast on them.
I also combine with these channelled bars, certain cast iron parts, which will be
more fully described in my Complete Specification and shewn in the drawings
thereof.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Construction of Frame for Washing, Wringing, Hay
Chopping, and like Machines.
I, ALFRED HIRST, of the Firm of B. Hirst and Sons, of Britannia Works,
Halifax, Yorkshire, Machine Makers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
nud in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is to construct a new form of frame for above
named machines, which combines, lightness with strength and also neatness of
appearance, whilst breakages are reduced to a minimum.
In constructing a frame according to my invention, I make use of channeled
steel bars or channeled wrought iron bars suitably bolted or rivetted together,
whilst some of the channeled bars may have suitable portions of the parts composing
the framework, cast on them.
In order that my invention may be more clearly understood I will make reference
to the accompanying sheet of drawings illustrative thereof, wherein
Fig. 1 is geometrical elevation of a wringing machine, the frame of which is
constructed according to my invention,
Fig. 2 is a front elevation of my improved frame, and
Fig. 3 a cross section of the channeled bar adopted by me.
The vertical portions of the frame are composed of channeled bars A made.
secure by molten metal or by rivets B to the cross rails C and D, the former being
cast into the parts E and which are cast iron parts connected together at each
side by the rods G. The cast iron brackets H not only improve the appearance of
the frame but they serve for holding the ordinary boards on which the clothes rest
when going into the machine or coming out.
By constructing a frame as herein shewn and described, I obtain a greatly
improved frame, neat in appearance and combined with strength and lightness.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The construction of framework composed of angle or channeled wrought iron
or steel bars in combination with cast iron brackets such as those shewn and
described.
