Who invented the washing machine and dryer?
The first British patent for a washing machine was issued in 1691. Not much is known about this machine or the creator. In Germany, Jacob Christian Schäffer published a design for a washing machine in 1767. In 1782 Henry Sidgier was issued a British patent for a rotating drum washer. Nathaniel Briggs of New Hampshire received the first United States issued patent for a washing machine in 1797. There is very little known of this machine because a fire destroyed the records of it. In 1799 a Frenchman by the name of Pochon invented the first hand cranked dryer. In 1843 John E. Turnbull of Saint John, New Brunswick patented the first wringer washer. He called it the "Clothes Washer with Wringer Rolls”. In 1851 James King patented the first washing machine that used a drum. In 1871 Margaret Plunkett Coleman introduced her patented Triumph machine at the Philadelphia Centennial. In 1892 George T. Sampson received a patent on an automatic dryer. It was nothing more than a modified rack that held wet clothing near a heat source. It used heat from the stove to dry clothes in an attached barrel. Near 1900 Louis Goldenberg a Ford Motor Company worker from New Jersey invented the electric washing machine. Since he worked for Ford at the time they owned the patent. In 1915 the electric tumbler clothes dryer was introduced. It is not clear who exactly holds the patent to the first electric dryer. http://cleaning.lovetoknow.com/Who_Invented_the_Washing_Machine_and_Dryer

Who invented the washer?
Washing Machine MilestonesThe first British patent under the category of Washing and Wringing Machines was issued in 1691. A drawing of an early washing machine appeared in the January 1752 issue of "The Gentlemen's Magazine," an English publication. In 1782 Henry Sidgier was issued a British patent for a rotating drum washer.The first United States Patent titled "Clothes Washing" was granted to Nathaniel Briggs of New Hampshire in 1797. Fire destroyed the patent office and no description of the device exists so it is not known what kind of washing device Briggs "invented." The electric washing machine was first mass produced in 1906. It is not known who first invented the electric washer. Alva J. Fisher has been incorrectly credited with the invention of the electric washer. The US patent office shows at least one patent issued before Mr. Fisher's US patent number 966677 (e.g. Woodrow's US patent number 921195). Dryer HistoryContrary to Internet rumors, the first tumble dryer was not invented by American George T. Sampson. A hand-cranked version was created in 1799 by a Frenchman named Pochon. Sampson's United States patent (number 476,416), which he received on June 7, 1892, was for an improved rack for holding wet clothes near a heat source. Electric tumble dryers appeared in the 20th century. http://www.answers.com/topic/washing-machine?cat=technology http://www.answers.com/topic/clothes-dryer-1
