Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
“For a Washing Machine, and for heating water for the same; Enos D. Cherry, Auburn, Cayuga county, New York, September 10.
A box, or trough, is to be divided into three or four compartments, by partitions extending from one side to the other. In one of these compartments there is to be a stove of sheet-iron, the mouth or opening of which is to pass through the side of the trough, and to be secured to it by flanches. In this stove, surrounded by water, the fire is to be made. Tubes from this compartment may be made to lead into either of the others.
The washing compartment has a circular segment, with grooves, or rollers; upon this segment the clothes are to be placed, when they are to be acted upon by rubbers, or grooved pieces, suited to the lower segment, placed upon a swing frame, operated upon by springs. The washing machine may be made separate from the boiling apparatus.”
There is no claim, either general or particular.”
