CLOTHES-WRINGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 263,364, dated August 29, 1882.

Application filed February 27, 1882.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES THOMPSON, a resident of the village of Fulton, in the county of Oswego and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Olothes-Wringers, of which I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.

My improvements relate to clothes-wringers with friction-rubber rollers, the upper roller being a double or joint roller which operates in unison with the lower roller.

Figure 1 shows a front elevation, partly broken away, of the machine. Fig. 2 shows an end elevation Fig. 3, a section.

The joint-rollerSis shown in Fig.1 connected to the automatic standard A by means of the bearings e, which are inserted in the boxings I). Said boxings are inserted in the space .0 in the endof shaft 7, thereby forminga double bearing to prevent friction. The automatic standard is provided with armsB and B, which are firmly secured to the bar 11 by screws or their equivalents. An equal pressure is obtained on the automatic standard A by means of the four springs lettered F. A greater pressure may be obtained by the screws 2 and 2. The rail 13 connects the sides 5 of the frame by means of the screw-bolts 9 and 9. The bar 11 operates in unison with the standard A. The bar 12 is inserted in the space E of standard A, as shown in Fig. 3. Said bars 11 and 12 are inserted in space 14. in sides 5 and 5, as shown in Fig. 2, and secured there, as is shown in Fig. 1, by the four (Model) pins numbered 15. The screw 4 secures the boxing 3 in position, allowing said boxing to oscillate in unison with standard A. V shows the guard which prevents fine fabrics from being caught in the joint'zof roller 8.

Fig. 2 shows an end elevation of the machine. 11 and 12 show the bars inserted in space 14, as referred to in the above. 3 shows the oscillating boxing, which is secured by screw-bolt 4, thereby preventing said roller 8 from rising at the end and causing rollers to press the fabric dry at the edges as well as in the center. 6 shows the fastening by means of which the wringer is secured to the tub. Bearings 7 and 7 operate in glass boxings G and G. 2 shows the thumb-screw, as before mentioned.

Fig. 3 shows the sectional drawing of the automatic standard A. E shows the space into which bars 11 and 12 are inserted. 0 shows the bearing by which the roller is 8 connected with the automatic standard A. 7 and 8 show the line of the shaft and roller as connected with the bearing 0. V shows the guard, as heretofore described.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new in a clothes-wringer, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The jointed or double roller Sand 8, having bearingsD D, in combination with the standard A, havingjournals e e, the lower roller, and the mechanism for regulating the pressure of the jointed roller upon the lower roller, substantially as described.

CHARLES THOMPSON.
