Specification of Letters Patent.

' Patented Oct. 26, 3.915.

Application filed November 23,1912. Serial No. 733,1 45.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MATHEAS PALUSKA, a citizen of the United States, residing at Roanoke, in the county of VVoodford and State of Illinois,. have invented new and useful Improvements in Wringers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to clothes wringer operating and supporting means, and has for an object to provide means whereby the wringer may be supported by a vertical driving shaft without a special separate support. 7 It isva further object to provide an operativer connection and journal bracket between the vertical shaft and a horizontal shaft whereby the wringer may be carried upon the horizontal shaft and be movable to any desired position around the vertical shaft.

It is a purpose to make the device available at a low cost.

Other objects and advantages may be apparent/in addition to those mentioned.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of the device, Fig. 2 is a top view thereof, adjacent a washing machine, the operative and inoperative positions being indicated.

Thereis illustrated a washing machine 10 of any suitable construction, including a tub eiement'll. Extending verticallyand adjacent the tub there is a driving shaft 12 which may be operated by the mechanism of the washing machine if desired. It carries near. its upper end a bracket 14 revolubly mounted thereon and including the lower sleeve 13 engagedsnugly around the shaft.

and supported by the collar 15 secured to the "heft therebeneath. A. suitable oil cup '13 he shaft journaled therein." An upwardly curved bracket arm 16 projects from the sleeve, its upper end being spaced some distance above the upper'end of the shaft, and having a journal bearin sleeve 17 thereat disposed on an axle at right angles to the shaft 12. A wringer shaft 18 is revoluble therein, held against longitudinal movement by two sleeves 18 on each side of the bearing. This shaft carries at its end inwardiy of the arm 16 a beveled gear 19 meshed witha similar one 20 carried by the upper end of the shaft 12. A suitable housing 21 may be engaged over these gears and supported by the bracket arm whereby accifie ts due to clothing or parts of the person carried by the sleeve for lubrication of becoming caught in the gears may he averted. The sleeve 17 is provided with an oil cup 17 The shaft 18 projects some distance outwardly of the bearin 17, and is revolubly mounted in the stanc ards 22 of a wringer device. Between the standards the shaft carries a suitable roller 23 of rubber or other suitable material, superposed over which there is a similar roller 24, having a central shaft element 25 projecting from each end of the roller and engaged slidably in siotted portions of the standards. Blocks 26 are engaged over the shaft ends, borne down wardly by springs 27 thereabove, the tension of the springs being adjustable by means of hand screws 28 projecting above the standcurely in an upright position, and the device firmly braced against depression.

It will be noted that tire-tendency of. the driving shaft to rotate the device bears it in a direction opposite that in which fabrics move in passing through the wringer, so that when adjacent the tub i for use the device will be held in position. When moved to inoperative position it may be held by any suitable means, such as a securing rod 31, or other suitable means, As the weight of fabrics sustained by the wrin er While passing therethrough is inconsi enable the major portions ofsuch fabrics being carried by the receptacles from which theyare taken and into which they are dischargeds no undue strain will be set up in the shaft:

12, and the operation of the device will not involve excessive friction What is claimed isf In a wringer, the combination of a verti cally disposed driving shaft; a bracket revoinbly carried the upper end of said shaft, said bracket including a sleeve, 9.

curved bracket arm having a journal bearing sleeve disposed in a horizontal plane and a lower brace arm; a'wringer, including a pair of shafts and rollers thereon, one of said Wringer shafts being extended and having a bearing in said journal bearing sleeve of said curved bracket arm; said Wringer being supported it its outer end by said brace arm; gearing between saiddriving shaft and said extended wringen shaft; a housing for said gearing, and a securing rod for holding 10 said wringer in a certain position.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
