T all win-m it may concern 5 to it known that I, CLINTON H. BAER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Shickshinny, in the county of Lunerne and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dish- Viashers; and I do hereby declare'the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to" machines for washing plates, dishes and other similar articles; and it consists in the novel construction andicombination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed whereby'the articles are subjected to the action of streamsof water while being held stationary.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is an end view of a dish washer constructed according to this invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-section through the dish washer, taken on the tin ma: in Fig. 1. i

The casing 2 or washing box is prefer-, ably rectangular in form, and it 18 provided with a partition 3 near one end of it. This partition has an outlet opening 4 at its base, and a splasher 5 is arranged in front of this opening and projects above it. The partition divides the casinginto a pump chamber 6 and a washing chamber 7, and it extends for about two-thirds of the height of the casing. The partition 3 has a deflector 9 at-its top which projects over the splasher 5 The splasher is curved or inclined so as to throw the water upwardly toward and against the deflector, and the deflector is inclined or curved so as to deflect the water onto the articles to be cleaned.

A plunger 10. is arranged in the pump chamber 6, and is provided with a pumprod 12 which projects through an opening in the top of the casing. Any approved means may he used for reciprocating the plunger, and it may be actuated by hand or by power. In the example shown, a hand lever 1" is provided and is pivoted by a pin 1.5 to the projecting end portion of the pump-rod, and is fulcrumed on a pin 16.

carried by a. bracket 17 which projects from the, casing.

The plunger is raised by hand, and descends by gravity, forcing the water under it through the outlet opening 4. The planger may be forced down by power, and it may extend. the full width of the casing, or end pieces 18 may be secured betwcenthe partition and the adjacent end of the casing to confine the pump chamber to'the middle o part of the partition 3.

A suitable lid 20 is provided at the top of the chamber, and the articles to be washed are stacked in a wire-work basket 21 which is stood in the Washing chamber 7 where the 61' articles will be subjected to the action of the streams of water which are forced against them by the splasher and the deflector. The outlet opening preferably extends for the full width of the pump chamber. 7(

The articles are cleaned by the water, and

as they are stationary during the washing operation they are not chipped or broken. What I claim is:

L In a. dish washer, the combination, with 7 a casing provided with a partition dividing it into a pump chamber and a washing chamher, said partition having an outiet opening for Water at its lower part, of a defiector arranged in the washing chamber at r the upper part of the partition, a plunger in the pump chamber for forcing the water through the outlet opening, and a splasher arranged in the washing chamber below and in front of the outlet opening and. adapted 5:3

to direct the water upwardly toward the defiector.

2. In a dish Washer, the combination, with a casing provided with a partition dividing it into a rectangular pump chamber and 90 .a washing chamber,

said pump chamber having end portions between the partition and the adjacent, wall of the casing to re duce the length of the pump chamber, and

said partition l'iaving an outlet opening for 95 water at. its middle and lower part, of a deflector arranged in the washing chamber at the upper part of the partition, a plunger in the pump chamber for forcing the water through the outlet opening, and a splasheLiOO arranged in the washing chamber below and in front of the outlet opening and adapted to direct the water upwardly toward the deflector.

In testimonywhereof I have ailixed my 10;

presence of two witnesses.
