GLASS-CLEANER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 15, 1910.

Application filed April 18, 1910. Serial No. 556,079.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LoUIs GEORGE HATOSY, Jr., a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Glass-Cleaner, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to bar fixtures, and its object is to provide a new and improved glass cleaner, arranged for attachment to the washing tank of a bar, to permit the barkeeper or other person to conveniently, quickly and thoroughly clean a glass. For the purpose mentioned use is made of a stationary brush submerged in the water of the washing tank, and projecting in an upward direction to permit the barkeeper to readily place the glass to be cleaned over the brush and to turn the glass thereon to clean the same.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both views.

Figure l is a rear perspective view of a bar provided with the glass cleaner, parts being shown broken out; and Fig. 2 is an enlarged side elevation of the cleaner.

The bar A is provided with the usual washing and rinsing tank B, having an overflow pipe C for maintaining the water in the tank B at the same predetermined level. Below the level of the water in the tank B is arranged an upwardly extending brush D, having a cylindrical head D, provided with the usual bristles,and mounted centrally on the upper end of a stem D terminating at its lower end in a pair of spring jaws D adapted to rest on the bottom of the tank B and clampingly engaging the overflow pipe C. From the shank D between the head D and the jaws D extends an arm D terminating in spring jaws D adapted to engage the overflow pipe C a distance below the upper end thereof, so that the brush D is firmly supported within the tank B, and the shank D extends obliquely relative to the overflow pipe C, thus holding the brush head D a distance from the overflow pipe C and also distances from the sides and ends of the tank B, as plainly indicated in Fig. 1. Thus by the arrange ment described, the brush head D is held submerged in the water contained in the tank B and wholly unobstructed, so that the barkeeper can readily place a glass upside down over the brush head D (see dotted lines in Fig. 2), and then on turning the glass over the fixed brush head the interior of the glass is quickly and thoroughly cleaned, especially as the brush and the glass are both under water, and hence the water greatly aids in cleaning the glass and carrying off the extraneous matter, such as foam and the like, loosened by the brush head D on turning the glass thereon.

The device is very simple and durable in construction, can be cheaply manufactured and readily applied without requiring any changes in the construction of the tank or other part of the bar.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

A bar having a washing tank provided with an overflow pipe rising from its bottom and a brush having a stem terminating in spring jaws engaging the overflow pipe at the bottom of the tank, and an arm extending at an angle from the stem and terminating in spring jaws engaging the overflow pipe intermediate of its ends.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
