Specification of Letters ratent.

Patented Dec. 7, 1909.

Application filed December 22, 1908. Serial No. 468,769.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HANS MfinY, merchant, a citizen of the Swiss Confederation, and resident. of- Gotthardstrasse. 55, Zurich v II, Switzerland, have invented nevi and useful Improvements in Dish-Washing Machines, of which the following is a specification.

, My invention relates to improvements in lifts for dish washing machines, in which a casket is suspended on a lever to be moved 'up and down as well as sideward by the operator. I I

The object of my improvements are firstly to provide a device by means of which thedishes to be cleaned may be moved in any' direction through the water without endangering the dishes and secondly to pro v1de means for raising the casket out of the- Near the back wall of the hot' water tank a, a vertical post I) of circular cross section is rotatably mounted. The lower end of the post b rests on a bearin c, the 'upper part of the post is held by a s eeve d, fixed to the back wall of the tank a. The post I) is slotted and is providedwith a' pin-e, on which a two armed lever f is movably mounted. The hind arm of lever f is much shorter than the front arm. A .spring Z is fixed atone end to the hind end of lever f and with the other end to an eye 4) fixed on the post I) 'by ,means of a turn-buckle 2 whereby the tension of. the spring may be adjusted. The spring is provided with a well-known adjusting device .2. Spring Z tends to keepythe lever f in its horizontal position. The frontend of lever f is pro- ,Vided with ahandle g, .and with a short piece of chain .7), on which another handle is ed. On the lever a casket la is suspended by means of a flexible band, chain or the drawings.

I like. To the bottom of the casket a short rail m is fixed, as may be seen from Fig 3 adapted to engage a cross rail n of the tank a insuch a manner, that the casket is automatically put into. an inclined position when raised by the leverf toallow the waterto draw-off. The tank a may be provided'with partition walls preferably set in such a manner that one and the same casket may be brought into any of the compart' ments. The tank may be heated by gas, coal etc. I wish to be understood that I do not confine my invention to the particular mode of heating thetank shown in the To clean the dishes and the like the same are'placed in the casket. The tank is filled rail on the casket engages the cross rail by going upward and is kept down while the other end of the casket still goes up a certain distance. The casket may then be brought on a slantin board 9 fixed on the tank and emptied. make the hook on which the casket is fixed to swivel.

Having particularly described and ascertained my invention I claim:

1. A: dish washing. machine comprising in combination, a tank, a post rotatably mounted adjacent said tank, a lever ivot ally connected to said post, one end 0 said lever being provided with a handle, a spring engaging theothergend of the lever, and a container for dishes suspended on t is of advantage to said lever onthe same arm whereon the handle is, provided.

2. 'A dlSh washing machine comprising in combination, a tank, a post rotatably .mounted adjacent said tank, a lever pivotally connected to saidpost, said lever being In testimonty whereof I afi'ix my signature 1n presence 0 two witnesses.

HANS MURY.

ing'the said cross rail of the tank to hold GEORG Rom, said container in an inclined position. JOSEPH SIMON.
