Definitions

• the invention relates to a device for cleaning and rinsing drinking vessels with a base made of plastic on suction feet and at least one attached to it, open-topped open nosepot with rinsing brushes and an adjacent rinsing device with a vertical guide tube attached to the base for the water supply, the rinsing device and the Norêtopf are connected to a water connection.
• the base usually consists of an open molded part made of metal or plastic, the water connection for the fresh water supply and the connecting lines to the spray pipes of the rinsing device and to the Norêtopf the prewashing device are exposed.
• the connecting cables are thus freely accessible for repair purposes, but this is generally not necessary in view of the low susceptibility to faults and robustness of the devices.
• the invention has for its object to improve a device for cleaning and rinsing of drinking vessels according to the preamble of claim 1 so that the device on the underside of the base has only one connection piece easily accessible from the outside for a water hose for fresh water supply, but otherwise the connections to the spray pipes of the Rinsing device as well as the pre-rinsing pot of the pre-rinsing device on the underside of the base are encapsulated against any contact with the water surrounding the device in the sink of restaurants and are also protected against any mechanical damage and against dirt deposits.
• the base is designed as a watertight encapsulated hollow body, in the interior of which the water inlet (s) to the pre- and post-rinsing device are located.
• the invention has the advantage that the connections for the fresh water supply to the device and the water inlets for the distribution of the fresh water to the pre-rinsing device and to the rinsing device can be installed at the manufacturer so that they protect against mechanical damage as well as against contamination are completely protected inside the base, which is designed as a hollow body.
• the base which is designed as a hollow body.
• On the underside of the base there is only an external connection piece for attaching a water hose for the water supply to the flushing device, which can also be easily detached for cleaning purposes and just as easily attached to the device again.
• connection piece is also particularly expediently designed as a closure cap which also serves as a water connection.
• a particularly good, permanent and secure seal against the ingress of rinsing water from the sink is also achieved in that the closure cap is sealed to the outside by means of O-ring seals both on a threaded connector inside the base and on the through opening of the base.
• the water hose for the fresh water supply can also be fastened particularly simply in that the connecting piece for fastening a plug-in coupling is directed radially to the side from the closure cap.
• connection piece with the closure cap can be pivoted about its axis in a wide range of at least 300 ° or more.
• the connector can be easily aligned to the shortest connection to the sink, regardless of how the device is aligned for water connection. This can save on hose length.
• the feed-through opening for the water connection is arranged on the underside of the base and that the water is supplied to the flushing device via an angled connecting piece.
• the water hose is to be attached to the connecting piece by means of a self-clamping plug-in coupling which can simply be pushed onto the connecting piece and is held by itself in the fastening position.
• the stability of the washing device in the sink is also increased by the fact that the base housing, which is designed as a hollow body, has integrally formed, downwardly directed, supporting feet arranged at the edges with suction cups attached to it.
• Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown schematically in the drawing. Show it
• FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a device for cleaning and rinsing drinking vessels in a partially broken side view
• FIG. 2 shows a modified second embodiment of such a flushing device, in which both the pre-flushing device and the post-flushing device are each formed with a flushing pot attached to the base,
• FIG. 3 is a partial bottom view of the first device in the direction of arrow III of FIG. 1,
• Fig. 5 a Fig. 4 corresponding partial section along section line V - V through the
• the washing device 1 shown in FIG. 1 for cleaning and rinsing drinking vessels has a base 3 made of plastic on three suction feet 2 with at least one essentially cylindrical, open-top pre-washing pot 4 with flushing brushes for pre-washing the drinking vessels and an adjacent rinsing device 5 with a vertical guide tube 6 (FIGS. 4 and 5) attached to the base 3 for the water supply, the rinsing device 5 and the sink 4 being connected to a common water connection 7 on the base 3 below the rinsing device 5.
• the base 3 is designed as a watertight encapsulated hollow body and has in the area of the water connection 7 a sealed through opening 10 (Fig.
• connection piece 12 arranged on the underside of the base 3 for fastening a plug-in coupling 13 (FIG. 3) of a water hose 14 for the water supply to the flushing device.
• the cap 11 for the guide tube 6 of the rinsing device 5 is formed with an internal thread 15 (FIGS. 4 and 5) for attachment to an external thread 16 of the guide tube 6 at the end, and the connecting piece 12 for the plug-in coupling 13 is radially to the side of the cap 11 directed.
• the connecting piece 12 can be pivoted with the cap 11, as can be seen in particular in Fig. 3, by an angle of at least 300 ° or more about the common axis of the cap 11 and the guide tube 6 and accordingly simply to the shortest distance to the water connection aligned with the sink.
• the closure cap 11 is also, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, sealed by means of two O-ring seals 17, 18 both on the threaded connector 19 of the guide tube 6 and on the lead-through opening 10 on the base 9 of the base housing 8.
• the base housing 8 which is designed as a waterproof hollow body, preferably has three support feet 24, which are formed in one piece with it and are directed downward and arranged on the edge with suction cups 25 attached to it.
• FIG. 1 there is only a support foot 24 with a suction cup 25 next to the lower water connection 7, so that the device has a three-point support together with two further support feet 24 below the pre-wash bowl 4 of the pre-wash device.
• FIG. 2 can also be provided in the second embodiment (FIG. 2) with two washing pots 4, 4a, namely with a pre-washing pot 4 and a rinsing pot 4a, in which the otherwise free-standing rinsing device 5 is arranged.
• this second embodiment it is also possible to provide two support feet 24 with suction cups 25 below the second rinsing pot 4a for the rinsing device 5.
