  • a wash water circulating system including a pipe 21 connecting the drainage outlet 11 to the inlet of a rotating pump 22, a three way valve 24 in the pipe 21 having an inlet connected to the outlet of the reserve tankby a pipe 25, a flexible pipe 26 interconnecting the outlet of the pump and the inlet 16 of the spray, pipe, and a motor 27 for driving the pump through a shaft 29.
  • the pump has a shaft section 30 extending outwardly thereof on which a shaft section worm 31 is mounted.
  • the worth 31 rotates a gear 32 of a mechanism for oscillating the spray pipe and a connecting rod '34 having Patented Feb. 25, 1958 with the reserve tank.
  • the motor is then started to drive the pump to cause wash water to be circulated from the drainage outlet to the spray pipe which reintroduces the wash water into the main tank, as indicated by the arrows in Fig. l.
  • the wash water is so circulated until a sufficient time has elapsed in which the articles should be washed clean.
  • the waste pipe valve is opened to discharge the wash water from the machine and the three way valve is positioned to close its inlet in connection with the drainage outlet and to open its outlet in connection with the reserve tank, whereby the rinse water is introduced into the main tank to rinse the articles therein and is then discharged through the waste pipe.
  • a time clock controlled solenoid. 35 having a plunger 36 for actuating mechanism to position the valves.
  • the three way valve 24 has a bell crank 37 mounted on its valve member turning shaft 39.
  • the bell crank has arms 40 and 41, the arm 40 being connected by a link 42 to the plunger 36 and the arm 41 being connected by a rod 44 to the waste pipe valve member operating mechanism 45, whereby actuation of the solenoid causes its plunger to effect the desired positioning of both the valves 14 and 24.
  • the spray pipe has three closely adjacent rows of longitudinally spaced apertures 50 at one side thereof and has three similar rows of apertures 51 at the opposite side thereof.
  • the rows at the respective sides are diametrically opposed but the apertures 50. and 51 are arranged in staggered relation to each other.
  • the rows of apertures are positioned in relation to the oscillating mechanism, so that they face in a generally horizontal direction at the moment the direction in which the spray pipe is being turned is about to be reversed.
  • a further advantage resulting from having the spray pipe at rest during the cycle with the apertures facing generally horizontallyand having the apertures in. stag gered relation is that a closer overall spray pattern is provided, that is, the spray flow apertures 50 will be directed through planes in between the planes through which the spray from the apertures 51 is directed. In this manner, the spray in each complete cycle covers the entire length of the tank and blind spots at which no spray is provided are eliminated.
