HIRAM BARKER, OF AURORA, INDIANA.

IMPROVED WASHING-MACHINE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 58,756, dated October 1G, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Hiram Barker, of Aurora, county of Dearborn and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvement on a Washing-Machine; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, aud exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which—

A is the drum or revolving part, which is constructed in such a manner, in connection with the roller and pins D, as to cause the clothes to rub both ways on the wash-board F without reversing the drum ; B, the uprights supporting the revolving part; C, the trough or box to empty the suds in ; D, the roller and pins, of which „tlic long pins No. 1 catch the clothes every revolution and retain them un til the pins No. 1 stand perpendicular, when they slide down on the short pins No. 2, which stand at right angles with the long pins, causing the roller to turn part round, letting the clothes fall back on the wash-board, causing them to rub back again; E, the water flange or elevator, which collects about two gallons of water every revolution and retains it until that part of the drum is uppermost, when it dashes it back on the clothes again.
