PATENT O FicE.

MILITARY DISH WASHING ANDRINSING APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming'part of Letters Patent No. 673,699., dated May 7, 1901.

Application filed March 12, 1901. serial No. 50,852. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, JUSTIN H. CHAPMAN and CHARLES E. WORRELL, citizens of the United States, residing at National Military Home, in the county of Grant and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dish Washing and Rinsing Apparatus; and we do 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in dish washing and rinsing machines; and it consists in the provision of a suitable receptacle or tank in which is mounted a rack, whereby dishes may be held upon edge or otherwise, and a spraying-pipe which passes through the ends of the tank in suitable bearings adapted to have a swinging motion, whereby as the operator swings said pipe back and forth the dishes may be thoroughly rinsed by means of fine sprays of water being thrown through the pipe in various directions.

The invention will be hereinafter more fully described and then specifically defined in the appended claims and is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon,form part of this application, and in which drawings-- Figure 1 is a side elevation of our improved dish washing and rinsing apparatus. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal view through the tank and the rinsing-pipe, and Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a slightly-modified form. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the modified form shown in Fig. 3.

Reference now beinghad to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates the tank, which is made, preferably, of copper or other suitable metal and is mounted upon legs B. This tank has a rack O, which is made, preferably, of a framework carrying cross-rods spaced apart, whereby plates or other dishes may be held between said rods or on edge. The opposite ends of the tank are perforated and provided with bearings D, in which the rinsing-pipe E is adapted to rock. This rinsing-pipe is bent at right angles adjacent to its bearing-points where it passes through the ends of the tank and is also bent at right angles near the top of the tank, at the ends thereof, as at F, and secured near said angles F are operating-handles H, one at each 'end of the tank. Said spraying-pipe intermediate its angled portions is perforated, there being several rows of perforations disposed in different directions, whereby when water passes through said pipe under pressure fine sprays of water will be thrown downwardly and laterally through all portions of the tank, so as to thoroughly rinse the dishes which are held upon the rack below. The upper edge or arm of the tank should be formed into a roll or head K. A suitable outlet-aperture M is provided at one end of the tank, which is the lowest part of the tank. In order to allow the water to run to the lowest part, where the outlet is located, either the body of the tank may be lower at one end or legs may be so built as to give a slight incline to the entire tank.

In operation the dishes, after being thoroughly washed either in the rinsing-tank or in a near by receptacle which may be separate from the rinsing-tank, are placed either upon the rack or between the rods thereof, and by manipulating the spraying-pipe by rocking the same back and forth the dishes become thoroughly rinsed.

In Figs. 3 and 4 we have shown a slightlymodified form of our invention, in which the tank is used exclusively for washing dishes.

Having thus described our invention, what We claim to be new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

I. A dish washing and rinsing apparatus, comprising a tank of metal or other suitable material mounted upon legs, one end of said tank beinglower than the other, a rack mounted in said tank, an angled pipe journaled near 5 the bottom thereof in the end walls of the tank, said pipe being bent upward and having a longitudinal portion extending substantially the length of the tank and adjacent to its upper edge, and handles secured to said pipe I00 adjacent to its angled portion, said pipe being perforated and adapted to be swung by the handles from one side to the other thereswinging bail-shaped portion of said pipehavv of. as set forth; inghandles'adapted toswing over said rack 2. In adish washing and rinsing apparatus, from side to side of the tank, as set forth. 1 the tank of metal or other suitable material, In testimony whereof we hereunto affix our r 5 a rack having legs resting upon the bottom signatures in presence ofvtwo witnesses.
