DISHWASHING MACHINE.

Application filed March '31, 1922, Serial No. 540,336. Renewed April 9,1925.

parts of the container so that every aricle within the machine will be acted on by the water and the thorough cleansing of the contents is insured.

' A- further ob'ect is to provide means whereby ractica ly the entire body of water containe wardly over the contents; the projection takmg place in successive impulses so that less v power is required to operate the machine than would be necessary should the entire liquid contents. be thrown upwardly at one ith "the foregoing and'other objects in view which will appear as the description 'p'roceedsthe invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the' so details of construction hereinafter described and clanned', it being understood that, with-' in the scope of what is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without departing from the spmtjof the invention.

Mounted on the shaft 4 so asjto rotate therewith is a sleeve 8 on which are provided circular disks Q'spaced apart regularly and projecting into the trough 3.- Aprojecting blade l0 is arranged between every two disks and the blades are all'out of alignment and areal-ranged around the shaft in a spiral series. The shaftand the parts mounted thereon can be rotated in an sitable manner, as by means of a beltdriven pulle 11. In using this machine a' quantity 0 hot water having a cleansing substance mixedv therewith is supplied to the container so that the level thereof will be below the cleats 5. The basket 6 with the articles therein to be cleaned is lowered into the container, the cover 7 is placed in position, and

the shaft 4 is rotated 'at a high speed. This will cause the blades 10 to successively project the water upwardly from the trough through the bottom of the basket 6 and over the contents of the basket, one rotationof' the shaft being suflicient to project water from the trough throughout the length thereof. A thorough agitation of the water I is thus effected and thecontents of the basket will be efiiciently cleansed. After this operation has been completed the dirty water can be drained from the container through a valved outlet ,12 after which-a su ply of clean hot water can be placed. in th Thusthe disheswill be t orou hly e con-' tainer and the foregoing o ration repeated. athe pre-" and bylreinoving the basket t e contents dry without further treatment.

I By referring particularlyto Figure i it "will .be noted that' by having the bottom of.

the container inclined as at 2 each blade 10 1 will not only throw water upwardly through that lilortion of the.basket directly over troug but will also throw. it laterally throughout the width of the bottom 2.
