The rinsing vessel may be replaced by a rinsing device with a central rinsing pin and side washers. Typically, a hanger for cleaning detergent is inserted into the wash container to assist in the chemical washing of the glass surface in cold water. The washing and rinsing unit is located on a common pedestal, inside which the water inlet and outlet are hidden.

A dishwasher and a dishwasher container of the owner DUNĚT s, r.o., Prague CZ, protected by the industrial design CZ 32325, DE 409 07 269 from 2004, are known and manufactured. This dishwasher has a pedestal formed as a tub-shaped body with an open upper part. The pedestal slides freely onto the bottom and adjacent sidewalls of two cylindrical containers representing a wash and rinse container. The two containers 45 are separated from each other by a common interface wall. Each container, both washing and rinsing, is provided with two concavities near the common interface wall, the upper portion of which is open and substantially extends to the upper edge of the containers. Each bulge is closed at the bottom and its height is substantially equal to the height of the container. One of the bulges serves to accommodate the glass handle. In the second concave, when the dishwasher is assembled, a hanging perforated tray is suspended above and / or immediately below the surface of the watercourse, into which a chemical cleaning tablet is inserted to aid in glass cleaning in cold water. The concavities can also serve for water drainage. In the rinsing vessel there is a central rinsing tube with a spray for rinsing the glass. In the pedestal there is one through hole connected to the screw connection without a special seal for the connection socket for attaching the water supply hose. The water outlet from the wash tank is created by a pipe, they come out

The opening in the bottom of the base is not sealed in any way. The base is provided with mounting holes in its bottom with screw connections and nuts of such a size that the base can be easily disassembled manually and without tools at any time as required and repeatable. Thus, the interior of the tray is readily removable from both containers for cleaning purposes, which is normally performed by the operator in normal operation.

All of these glass washers are designed so that they are usually placed in a common sink with running water, in many cases with limited space. All of these dishwashers comprise a rinse unit of different types, whose side rinse units, e.g. fin-shaped, needle-like, etc., are usually two and situated opposite each other. However, they are firmly and immovably attached to the bottom of the rinse container or rinse device or to the pedestal, and therefore cannot be handled during operation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

These disadvantages are avoided or substantially reduced by a glass washer for hand washing and rinsing of glass, in particular beer glasses with an ear according to the present invention, characterized in that the washer has a rinsing unit whose side rinses are reversibly and adjustable rotatably relative to rinsing darkness.

The main advantage of the present invention is the increase of utility properties of the dishwasher, easy and safe manipulation of the operator with the dishwasher and the washing of the side rinses in case of lack of working place or even saving the working place. During the working process, the operator can rotate the side washes with the side spray to the desired angle and position, allowing easier and safer access for the operator to insert the glass into the rinse unit. In addition, this solution according to the invention makes it possible to reduce the size and weight of the rinsing device and thus reduce the size and weight of the entire dishwasher by simple design.

In a preferred embodiment, the side rinses are mounted on the top of the annular base, which is loosely supported on the pedestal, so that the side rinses move along with the annular base.

The annular base is preferably provided with a central opening for receiving the central rinsing darkness, the lower end of which is pivotally connected to the holder, which ensures manual rotation of the rinsing darkness with the fixed side rinses to the desired working position. The annular base has a central opening connected to the channel-like interior of the hollow rinse dark, resulting in a main rinse dark spray. The annular base has a central opening connected through the flow side channels to its side openings, adjoining the inner side rinsing channels, which exit into the side spray nozzles. Thanks to this design of the rinsing unit and the holder, the pressurized water is distributed from the holder both to the rinsing dark with the main spray and to the side rinsing with the side washers.

The disadvantages of the prior art are also eliminated or substantially reduced by a glass washer for washing and rinsing glass, in particular beer glasses with an ear according to the invention. It is based on the fact that the dishwasher has a rinsing unit, the side rinses of which are formed in two parts, namely the inner part facing the rinsing dark and provided with a side spray and the opposite outer part. In a very preferred embodiment, both of these side rinse parts are releasably connected to one another, preferably they are slid together and are releasably attached to the annular base.

The main advantage of this solution is to improve and increase the utility properties of the dishwasher and easy and safe handling of the operator, because the design of the rinsing unit facilitates cleaning

It also facilitates easy replacement of the inner and / or outer side rinse parts in case of wear.

Preferably, the glass dishwashing and rinsing machine, in particular the beer glasses with the handle of the present invention, has outer surfaces of the wash container and rinse unit made of hard plastic, and surfaces in contact with the beverage glass surface and pressurized water provided with a protective coating, preferably elastic. , resistant to mechanical damage by abrasion and impact, and to prolonged exposure to pressurized water and possibly to detergent.

The main advantage of this solution is to improve the utility properties of the washer with an outer protective layer, preferably elastic, protecting the relatively hard plastic material of the washer components from mechanical damage and abrasion, and also to protect the surface of the drinking glass, for example handling the dishwasher operator. The protective coating is resistant to pressurized water and any detergent used in the wash vessel and has a smooth surface to prevent dirt and mold from adhering therein.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

A dishwasher 1 for manually washing and rinsing beer glasses with a handle is shown in a particular exemplary embodiment in the axonometric view of FIG. 1 and in a top view of FIG. 2, and consists of a washing container 2 and a rinsing unit 3 situated next to it. 2 and the rinsing unit 3 are detachably mounted on a common hollow pedestal 4. The hollow pedestal 4 can be formed as a tub-shaped body with profiled side walls with an open upper part and an upper peripheral collar into which the wash container 2 is inserted with play. .

The washing vessel 2 has a cylindrical shape with two lateral bulges 5 projecting outside the washing vessel 2 and having a semicircular cross-sectional shape. The two opposing openings 5 open at the top have the same height as the body of the washing container 2 and the bottom adjoining the bottom of the washing container 2. One of the bulges 5 is intended to loosely accommodate the glass handle with a clearance to slightly rotate it. The lower part of one of the concavities 5 can be used for the discharge of pressurized water. In the upper part of one of the bulges 5, a perforated tray 6 (Fig. 2) with a solid detergent is suspended. The washing vessel 2 is provided with not illustrated mechanical brushes, one of which is located on a perpendicular centrally arranged washing darkness 7 (Fig. 2) and the other belt brush is situated on the inner circumference of the washing vessel housing 2.

-3GB 296462 B6

The rinsing unit 3 consists of a perpendicular centrally arranged rinsing darkness 8 with a main spray 17 and a rinsing unit 9 with a side spray 10.

On the upper end of the central wash brush 7, the operator puts the beer glass upside down by inserting one ear into one of the concavities 5. The operator presses from above with a slight pressure on the bottom of the beer glass 7 (Fig. 1, 2). Thereby, pressurized water is introduced into the wash dark 7 through its channel-like interior 14 from below, which acts by means of the main spray 17 of wash dark 7 on the inner surface of the glass. Washing of the inner surface of the glass is aided by a brush on the wash dark 7. Water flows from the wash dark 7 into the space of the wash container 2, and this water, together with another circumferentially positioned belt brush, mechanically washes the outer surface of the glass. Cold water washing efficiency is commonly enhanced by chemical detergents of various types, both liquid and solid. In the case of a solid state detergent, e.g. in particular, the tablets inserted into the suspension tray 6 (FIG. 2), upon contact of the wash liquor, it slowly dissolves and acts.

The washed glass is placed in the rinsing unit 3 so that the operator places the glass on a centrally arranged rinsing dark 8 upside down. Subsequently, the operator exerts a slight pressure on the bottom of the glass on rinsing darkness 8. This initiates pressurized water supply to the rinsing darkness 8 with the main spray 17 to rinse the inner surface of the glass and to both side rinses 9 with the side spray 10 to rinse the outer surface of the glass .

This type of hand washer 1 is placed in a sink with running water. In this usually very confined space, the functional properties of the hand dishwasher 1 increase the possibility of reversible and adjustable rotation of the side rinses 9 of the rinsing unit 3, in particular for rinsing beer glasses with an ear. The operator can then place the beer glass with the handle on the central rinsing darkness 8 where there is space and at the same time do not have to turn the entire dishwasher 1.

To this end, a particular exemplary construction of the rinsing unit 3 according to the invention is used, the central rinsing darkness 8 and the two opposing side rinses 9 being perpendicularly arranged on the plate-like annular base 11 (FIG. 3). The rinse unit 3 is placed in the collar of the basin body of the pedestal 4 by loosely placing an annular base 11 with a central opening 12 through which a rinsing dark 8 passes, the lower end of which is fixed to the holder 13. The annular base 11 has two oppositely oriented semicircular the disassembled parts of the rinsing unit 3, namely rinsing dark 8, an annular base 11 with fixed side rinses 9 and a bracket 13 with pressurized water supply 15 to the two valve heads of the bracket 13, are 4, 5.

In Fig. 6, these disassembled parts are assembled together in a rinsing unit 3, shown in more detail in vertical cross-section with the holder 13 partially shown.

The rinsing darkness 8 is hollow and its interior 14 is connected to a water inlet 15 from one of the valve heads of the holder 13. The annular base 11 has a central opening 12 adjoining two oppositely directed flow side channels 16 (FIGS. 3, 6). Each of them extends horizontally inside the annular base 11 and opens into a contiguous vertical side opening 18 of the annular base 11, which is connected via a contiguous vertical inner flow rinse channel 19 to the contiguous horizontally oriented nozzles 9 of the side washers 10.

The mechanism of said holder 13 (FIGS. 4, 5, 6), largely housed in the hollow pedestal 4, feeds pressurized water from its one valve head to the interior 14 and wash dark 7 resulting in a centrally located main spray 17 to wash the interior beer wall. glass.

At the same time, the pressurized water from the holder 13 is supplied from its second valve head via the central opening 12 of the annular base 11 to the two side channels 16 and is led through the side openings 18 to the

From the inside channels 19 of the side rinses 9 and thence to the side spray nozzles 10 of both side rinses 9, from which pressurized water sprays the outer surface of the beer glass with the ear.

The annular base 11 with the two fixed side washes 9 is loosely supported and is freely rotatable on the upper part of the hollow base 4 against which it is pressed by the central rinsing darkness 8. When the annular base 11 is rotated as shown in FIGS. 7, 8, 9 Thus, the central rinsing darkness 8 remains in place, and the annular base 11 deflects both side rinses 9 with side washers 10. This rotation of the annular base 11 with both side rinses 9 can be performed manually by the operator. Thus, the operator can easily reset and rotate the two side rinses 9 as required by hand.

A further improvement of the utility properties of the dishwasher 1 is the construction of the side rinses 9, each of which is formed from two parts 20, 21, an inner part 20 which faces the central rinsing darkness 8 and provided with a side spray 10 and an opposite outer part 21. The inner portion 20 and the outer portion 21 of each side rinse 9 are releasably connected to each other, preferably interposed, e.g., by a locking connection, and are detachably attached to the annular base 11. If necessary, e.g. when cleaning or replacing one or both parts 20 21, the side rinses 9 can be easily and manually disassembled into two parts 20, 21.

A further improvement in the utility properties of the dishwasher 1 is provided by the protective coating of the present invention applied in a particular exemplary embodiment, e.g. by spraying onto the outer surface of the dishwasher 1 or its parts made of hard plastic, for example on the surface of the upper part of the annular base 11, on the central rinsing dark 8 and on the outside of the side rinses 9. The protective coating is elastic and has a smooth surface. It increases the mechanical and abrasion resistance of these outer surfaces and their resistance to brittle glass impact. The protective coating softens the harder outer surface of the rinse unit 3. The protective coating can, if necessary, also be applied to another outer surface of the dishwasher 1, e.g.

This particular embodiment of the beverage glass washer 1 is an advantageous and proven, non-exhaustive construction. Other combinations of design within the scope of the claims are possible.

Industrial applicability

The solution is suitable for restaurants and gastronomic operations for manual washing of hollow glass, porcelain and possibly ceramics.
