Description
King's patent "relates to a clothes-wringer, and the object thereof is to construct the frame of the wringer of wrought-iron instead of cast-iron, thereby obtaining greater strength and lightness of the frame, and which is also less expensive than the ordinary cast-iron frame. It also relates to the peculiar shape of the frame and the model of its construction, whereby is obtained a neatness in appearance and facility of manufacture." (Patent Number 122,527)
