Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 182, [89, dated September 12, 1876; application filed .January 17, 1874. Y

To all whom it may concern Be it kn'own that I, HENRY HART, of Nichols, in the county of Tioga and State of New York, have inventedI a new and valuable Improvement in' Driving Mechanism for operating washing and chnrningmachines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,

, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation ofthe same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and tothe letters and figures of reference markedthereon.

L Figure l of the drawings is arepresentation of a plan view of my device. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a sectional, and Fig. 4 a side, view ofthe same.

This invention has relation to that classof machines wherein a churn and a washing-machine are operated by the same driving-shaft; andthe novelty consists in the construction of certain mechanism, as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the annexed drawings, A designa-tes theV main supportingframe, and B the main driving-shalt, which latter is constructed with two bell-cranks, a. a, and a crank-arm', a', and carries abalance-wheel, B'. The-crank-arm c is connected by a rod, C, to the knee-joint of toggle-lever C101, the lower one of whichis pivoted to a bracket, c, and the upper vone to one arm of a vertically-vibrating lever, C2. This lever C2 has its fulcrum d on the frame A, and to it the upper end of a dasher-rod, D, of a churn, D', is removably pivoted. E designates a vertically-vibrating frame, which is pivoted on the crank-shaft B, and connected by a Vertical rod, F, to a lifting-lever, F.

This lever F' extends diagonally across the frame A, and when the frame'E is lifted, as

indicated by dotted lines, Fig. 3, it is held in this position by adjusting the lever-F on a bracket, e.

To a cross-bar at the free end of *frameEl a shaft, H, is pivoted, which shaft carries a circular rubber, H', on its lower end, adapted to work in a `wash-tub, I. Shaft H receives oscillation from the cranks a. a of'shaft B by `means of connecting-rods g g and a cross-v arm, g'.

The wash-tub I is secured upon a horizontal shelf, J, which is secured to4 a vertically-adjustable sash, J', that can be raised and de-` pressed by means -of a hand-lever, K, and

when raised it can be held up by inserting a the upper lever Clattached to one end of the l vertically-vibrating lever G2, in combination with the vertically-vibrating frame E, pivoted to the crank-shaft B, substantially as described.

' In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

HENRY HART.`
