` UNITED STATES PATENT OEETCE.

OLIVER D. BARRETT, OF. FULTON, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELE AND STEPHEN E. LANPHEAR, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.

INIPROVED CLOTH ES-WRINGER.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 33,41 l, dated October 1, 1861.

.To all whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, OLIVER D. BARRErLot Fulton, in the county of Oswego and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Olothes-Vringers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a sideelevation, and Fig. 2 an end elevation, in which figures the same letters indicate the same parts ofthe wringer.

The frame 0f the wringer consists of a bedpiece A, to each end of which is attached two uprights B B B B, across the tops ot' which are placed two pieces OC, as represented in the drawings. These pieces B B B B and O O,in addition to forming part of the frame, serve as springs, and are made to eX- ert their pressure on the rollers D D by means of the screw E. The pieces B B B B also furnish bearings for the rollers D D, and they extend below the bed-piece A, and thus adapt the wringer to being placed on the edge of the wash-tub when operated. The rollers D D are placed one a little above the other, so that their pressure upon eachother is oblique, thus pressing the clothes harder while passing through between them than they would were their pressure direct upon each other.

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

The arrangement of the springs B B B B and C O in combination with the rollers` D D and the screw E, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
