It is found, however, that by connecting the outer ed es of the blades with a continuuous baflle ring such as -7 in su erposed relation to the lower ends of the bla es where the centrifugal throw is greatest retards this centrifugal motion of the water and deflects the same upwar'dly over a still wider area than that produced by the impact of the water with the front faces of the blades and by properly proportioning the diameter of the 'baflle ring and its vertical hei ht with reference to the lower ends of the aflie I am enabled to direct the washing fluid u wardly and circumferentially with considera le force throughout the horizontalarea of the superposed portion of the vat containing the trays with the dishes therein, it being understood that after the water has been impelled upwardly to the maximum it falls back by its own gravity to the conical bottom of the tub when the operation is repeated to establish a continuous upward and circumferential circulation of the washing fluid.
It is evident, however, that the construction and relation of the blades and baflle ring may be varied ta corres ond to difl'erent s eeds of rotation and to iflerent degrees of inclination of the bottom of the vat and alsoto variations in the diameter of the vat and distance of the-dish-supporting trays above the impellerwithout departing from the spirit of this invention.
What I claim is 1. An upright impeller for mechanical dishwashers comprising a hollow hub provided with outwardly projecting blades having their lower ends extended below the lower end of the hub and curved in the direction of rotation to a substantially v horizontal from top to bottom thereof and the lower end "of each blade being extended forwardly in a plane at substantially right angles to the axis of the hub.
3. An impeller as in claim 2 in which the outer surface of the hub is flared outwardly and downwardl from top to bottom for deflecting the fail ing dishwashing fluid outwardly against the blades.
4. An upright impeller for mechanical
