Ruton washing machine with wringer
A wringer was used to squeeze the water out of the laundry and consists of two close rubber rolls. Between the two rolls, the distance between the rolls could be adjusted, the fabric was rotated, causing the water to squeeze out. A large-scale wringer is called 'shortage'.
Wringers could stand on a bucket, with a plateau on either side: for a wet and respiratory kettle. for a toil to absorb the pressed water.
The wringer in combination with a washbowl was patented in 1843 by John E. Turnbull of Saint John, New Brunswick entitled "Clothes Washer With Wringer Rolls." (washing machine with wringers).
In the fifties, wrenches with a few clamps were attached to the washing machine. With the emergence of the centrifuge the wringer has disappeared from the washing machine. There are still loose wringers used in camping.
Today there is a bucket with a wringer, which is used for floor cleaning, in the trade. This wringer causes the mop to be pulled out so that it does not contain too much water. Also see
