Samitl ^ylLKl^â soN, ofT3al1oon-street, Leeds, mecdianic, for "A certain machine, to he called a patent washhtfy, wringing, and mangling machine .'* Granted April i" ; enrolled October 14, 1845. The novelty of this invention consists in combining the three machines in one, whereby a fjreat saving in room and expense is effocted. The washing machine consists of a semi-cylindrical Uix, in the centre of which there is a shaft supporting a frame consisting of a number of bars of wood, or suitable metal, such as brass. Motion is given to this frame, so as to cause it to vibrate backwarils and forwards in the same cylindrical trough, by means of a handle keyed on the end of the shaft; the process is therefore eflected by placing the clothes, with suitable washing liquor, wjthin the trough, about equal ijuantities on each side; the vibrating frame thereof, which is to be worked to and fro until the clothes are sufficiently cleansed ; after which, they may be wrung by passing them through the wringing and manglinâ machine, wdiich consists of a pair of wood rollers, suppcrted in a framing ai the end of the washing machine, so that the clothes may be passed directly from the washing micbine through ihe rollers for the purpose of wringing In order to efil'cl the mangling process, the top roller, which is weighted by an arrangement of levers, is capable of being raised from the lower by means of a cord attached to the weighting lever, and made to pass round an axis, upon which is a ratchet-wheel and fly-wheel, so that by turning the alter, the top roller may be raised from the botiom one, round
