Letters Patent No. 90,550, dated May 25, 1869.

The Schedule eferred to in these Letters Patent and making part of Vthe same.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM JOHNSON, of the city and county of Milwaukee, and State' of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cask-Washers; and I'do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable Ythose skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference beingr had to the accom-panying drawing, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1' is a perspective view.

Figure 2, a longitudinal section. `Similar letters of reference in each of' the figures indicate corresponding parts. 4

The object of my invention is to provide a machine for Washing barrels and casks outside and inside'. A, the bed-frame.

B B B B, standards forthe slides. O, pillow-block for the driving-shaft. D, stationary cylinder. E, hollow reciprocating cylinder-rod. F, bevel-wheel on cyliudenrod E, with a feather in its eye, fitting into the groove in cylinder-rod E.l

G, bevel-wheel ondriving-shaft, gearing into wheel F. H, driving-shaft, one end working into a rest on cylinder D, and the other supported by the pillow-block frame C.

I, ily-wheel.

K K, slides, working in the tops of standards B. L L, cross-heads. `M, pitman.

O, keeper on the top of cylinder D. P, keeper on the under side of cylinder D. p These keepers have a semicircle, fitting into a recess turned in the hub of wheel F, to hold it in gear. Q Q, barrel or task-holders, screwed on to the ends of cylinder-rod E.

R B, screws to hold the casks in place.

S S S S, springs in the holders, to steady the casks.

T, pipe to convey water to the cylinder D.

U, holes in cylinder-rod E, for the water to pass through, to be conveyed through cylinder-rod E to the bungs of the casks, and into them, for washing the inside.

' V V, branch pipe.

W W, sprinklers, through which water is thrown to .vash the outside ofthe casks.

X X, casks in the machine, to be washed.

Y, crank-pin.

Operation.

Put the casks in the machine as shown, thev ends of the hollow cylinder-rod E fitting into the bungs of the casks. v'Iuru ou the water, and it will pass into thev casks, andl also will be forced throughV the sprinklers W W on to the outside of the casks. l

The machine may be put into operation by a belt around a pulley on shaft H, or it may be operated by hand, by the crank-pin Y. As the shaft H is revolved,

the casks are given a rotary motion, and a reciproeat-- ing at the saine time, by the pitman M.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A barrel-washing machine, constructed with bedframe A, standards B B B B, cylinder 1,), cylinder-rod E, bevel-wheels F and G, driving-shaft H, slides K K', cross-heads L L, pitman M, and keepers O and P, sub stantially as described.

2. Cask-,holder Q, screw R, springs S S, operated by cylinder-rod E, substantially as described.

3. vCylinder D, pipes `T and V, sprinkler W, and hole's U, in cylinder-rod E, for the purpose of supplying water, substantially as described:
