  • Patent number: 7861561
    Abstract: A portable wringer includes a housing having upper and lower ends and defining an open interior area therebetween. The portable wringer also includes first and second rollers positioned inside the open interior area, the first and second rollers being accessible through the housing and movable relative to one another so as to cooperatively pass an item therebetween. A crank handle is operatively connected to the rollers for causing at least one of the rollers to rotate. A plurality of legs are coupled to the housing adjacent the lower end of the housing with each leg being pivotable between a storage configuration and a deployed configuration. The legs may be telescopic for length adjustment thereof. The portable wringer includes a removable tray positionable in the housing beneath the first and second rollers for collecting a liquid initially associated with the item passed between the rollers.

    Abstract: A chamois wringer includes a base plate with an arm pivotally connected thereto. A first roller is mounted on the base plate, and a second roller is mounted on the pivotable arm such that pivoting of the arm will bring the second roller into rolling contact with the first roller. A chamois threaded between the rollers will be placed under compression as it is pulled between the rollers, to remove excess water from the chamois.

  • Patent number: 4133056
    Abstract: A device for wringing soiled baby diapers after the diaper has been cleaned of excess soiled materials in the bathroom water closet. This invention consists primarily of two wringer rollers secured to a main attachment frame which can be secured to the conventional standard bathroom water closet seat bolts. When the device is in place below the water closet seat the device does not interfere with customary water closet usage. When it is desired to use the Soiled Diaper Wringer Device the water closet seat and cover are rotated to the usual up position at which time the device is fully exposed for wringing a soiled diaper. This configuration features an outer roller that is mounted to the main attachment frame by a pivot bolt which allows the user to rotate the outer roller outward thereby providing space for diaper insertion. Resilient elastomer bands provide wringer squeezing pressure as the diaper is pulled through the rollers.
