PATENT COMBINED WASHING, WRINGING, AND MANGLING MACHINE, with a dash wheel or drum inside the tub, made to turn a circle with reversible action, by means of a tooth rack and pinion wheel, which are moved by the fly wheel being always turned in one direction.
The action for washing is thrown out of gear, by lifting a catch and moving the fly wheel shaft horizontally. This being done, the rollers are put into a working position for wringing and mangling. It will be seen on examining the drawing, that there is a mangling cloth attached, which can be put on in a few seconds for mangling. This machine will wash from 10 to 12 shirts at a time. The spring rests upon a patent bar, which increases its power considerably.
Full directions for use are supplied with each machine.
