The cabinet 19 is hinged to the rear wall 29 of the supply tank 21 for swinging upwardly and forwardly into operative position over the left wall 3 as best shown in Figure 2 and for swinging downwardly and rearwardly into the stand 17 between the side bars 23 in the rear of the supply tank 21 to rest on the shelf 37 as best shown in broken lines in Figure 2 and to seat the wash and rinse

water intake nipples

287 and 289 on the seat members 79, 81 of the wash and rinse water nozzles'75, 77 in response to swinging of said cabinet 19 into operative position so vthat wash and-rinse water will be fed to the'wash

water spray pipes

247, 249 and to the rinse water "

spray pipes

255, 257 in the operative position of said cabinet.

For hinging the cabinet 19, a pair of lateral rearwardly extending hinge arms 295 on the

nipples

287, 289 are pivoted as at 297 to a pair of rearwardly extend- Jing hinge arms 299 in the rear wall 29 of the tank 21. The hinge arms 295 seat in notches 296 in the rear wall 6 29 of the tank 21 to establish the operative position of the cabinet 19.

The counterbalance means for the cabinet comprises the following. One of the pivots 297 is xed to the hinge arm 295 of the frame 215 through which said pivot extends and this one pivot comprises a short shaft 100 extending outwardly horizontally rearwardly of the stand Y nal

rack rods

118, 120 is provided for holding plates and the like therein in upright position and for sliding into the frame 215 on the track bars 267 into and out of the cabinet. If desired, an immersion type electric heater 269 may be inserted into the tank 21 through the front end wall 49 and suitably xed in said wall.

The operation of my invention will be readily understood from the foregoing and the following.

When it is desired to use the apparatus the drainboard '1 if swung downwardly and forwardly into operative position is slid rearwardly and swung upwardly into upright inoperative position as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3. The cabinet 19 is then swung out of inoperative position into operative position, all as previously described.

'The tray 116 loaded with dishes is then slid into the frame 215 of the cabinet 19 through either end of the frame upon opening of the

appropriate door

281, 283. When the cabinet 19 is swung into operative position the

intake nipples

287, 289 are seated and sealed on the seat Vmembers 79, 81 of the wash water and rinse water nozzles 75, 77 so that wash and rinse water may be injected out of said nozzles 75, 77 into the wash

water spray pipes

247, 249 and the rinse

water spray pipes

255, 257.

The drainboard 20 may then be swung down into operative position to be slid forwardly by the springs 69 to engage its lip 73 with the rear side of the cabinet 19 and rest on the tank 21 as shownl in full lines in Figure 2.

The hand lever 173 may then be operated to on position to close the switch 163 and start the motor 133 and pump 103 to pump wash water from the tank 21 which has been fed with water `from the left well 3. Thus wash water will be forced through the wash water nozzle 75, nipple 287 into the pipe 217 and the

pipes

223, 225 of the frame 215 to be diverted into the Wash

water spray pipes

247, 249 for wash spraying purposes. When the washing operation is completed the hand lever 173 is moved to off position to permit the switch 163 to open and stop the motor 133 and pump 103 and the washing operation.

Next the hand lever 173 is moved to the Rinse position thereby rotating the cam 179 to lift the valve stern 159 to open the quick acting valve 157. This communicates the hot water pipe 149 with the rinse water nozzle 77 whereby water under pressure from a boiler to which said pipe 149 is connected will be forced through said nozzle 77, the rinse water nipple 289 into the pipe 219 to be diverted by the

plugs

291, 293 into the rinse

spray pipes

255, 257 and rinse nozzles. Thus the dishes 'will be rinsed by hot water.

After the rinsing operation the hand lever 173 may be released for return to off position in the manner already described, the tray 116 of washed and rinsed dishes may be removed from either end of the cabinet 19 by opening the

appropriate door

281, 283, the drainboard 20 swung into inoperative position and the cabinet 19 swung into inoperative position, after which the drainboard may be swung into operative position and'slid forwardly by the springs 69 so that its front end wall overlies the tank 21 as shown in broken lines in Figure 2, whereby the drainboard may be used as part of the sink 1 and to close the tank 21.

By opening the drainvalve 18S in the manner already described the sink 1 and tank 21 may be drained.

By detaching the bolts 53 and the drain valve 185 from the sump 107 and tilting the stand 17 of the washing and rinsing unit downwardly and forwardly to disengage the water supply tank 21 from the lip 15 the entire washing and rinsing unit including the drainboard 20 may be detached from the sink. Then the drain valve 185 may be used together with the

drain pipes

207, 201, 209 as drainage means for the sink. As will be understood the cabinet 19 drains into the left well 3 and the right well is for such purposes as soaking pots and pans therein.

The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention.
