MASSACHUSETTS, A CORPORATION OI MASSA-- DISIIWASHING DEVICE.

Application filed larch 8, 1924. Serial No. 697,962.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT D. KLAGES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Springfield, in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful'Improvements in a Dishwashing Device, of which the following is a specification. J

This invention relates to improvements in a dishwashing device which is designed to be attached to a hot water faucet. It is so constructed and arranged that by turning or operating a suitable valve, thehot water may flow through the device and in contact with soap which is located therein, or it may flow through the device as clear hot water for rinsing purposes. Broadly, it comprises a casing member in which is located a' cake of soap and extending through the casing member is a tube for conducting clear hot water for rinsing purposes and a valve which is designed to direct the flow of the hot water either in contact with the interior of the casing containing the soap or through the tube for rinsing purposes.

Referring to the drawings:

Fig. 1 is an elevational view showing the device attached to a hot water faucet and with the handle portion attached to the hose and the valve for directing the flow of the water.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged horizontal sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1 showing the interior construction, and

Fig. 3 is an end elevational view looking from the right of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings in detail '1 designates the usual hot Water faucet having a hose 2 attached thereto by any suitable clamping means as indicated at 3. The opposite end of the hose is connected to the -flange portion 4 of the casting or hub part 5 of the device. 6 indicates the handle part of the device through which the tube or hose connection 2 loosely extends. The metallic hub part 5 is attached to the handle 6 by means of the screws 7. Located in the hub part 5 is a valve8 having the one way water passage 9 therethrough. The hub portion 5 is formed with the curved passage ways 10, and 11 which is substantially S- 12 is a straight passage as shown. Attached to the hub 5 is a cylmdrical casing 13 by 'means of the threads 14. 15 designates a packing ring interposed be tween the inner end of the cylindrical mem ber 13 and the recess ortion at the bottom of the threads. The ub 5 is also formed with a threaded portion 16 for receiving the threads on the tube 17 which extends nearly through the member 13. The outer end of the cylindrical member 13 is pro vided with a perforated cap 18 having a knurled flange 19, a packing ring 20 being interposed between the outer end of the cylindrical member 13 and the cap 18 for providing a water tight joint. The cap 18 1s formed with an integral cone or pyramid-shaped hollow portion 21 that is provided witha threaded opening to receive the threads 22 on the outer end of the straight tube 17, whereby the cap 18 is firmly connect-ed to the cylindrical member 13. The cap 18 is formed with two circular series of openings or perforations 23 and 24. The outer series of perforations 23 communicate with the interior of the casing 13 and the tube 17 communicates with the interior of the cone or pyramid-shaped part 21, whereby the flow of hot water may be caused to flow through either set or Series of perforations, depending upon the position of the valve 8. 25 designates a cake of sea. which is located within the casing mem er 13. This cake of soap is formed with an openmg 26 to receive the straight tube 17. It should be stated that the width of the straight water passage way 9 is greater than the arc-shaped surfaces of the. bearing pore tions 27, 27 27 and 2'? whereby when the valve 8 is operated the water will flow continuously through the device without being completely shut off or closed in any of its positions. This construction is so made and designed for the purpose of preventing the hose 2 from being forced away from the tubular portion 4: or from the end of the faucet 1, or in other words the water is prevented from striking the cap 18 with a blow which might cause the hose to become disconnected with the result that the hot water would escape. Before the flow of water is completely shut off from the passage ways 10 and 11, the passage way 12 is partially uncovered. A further turning of the valve will permit the hot Water to flow through the tube 17. A reverse operation will partially open the passage ways 10 and 11 before the passage way 12 is shut off.

Referring to the operation; when the soapy water. After the dishes are thorough--v 1y washed with the soa y water the valve 8 is then rotated into t e dotted line posltion 8 permitting the clean hot water to flow through the straight tube 17 and throu h the openings 24 whereby the dishes may e thoroughly rinsed of the soapy water. In rotatin' the valve 8, in either direction, the widt of the passage way 9,

being greater than the bearing surfaces 27,

27', 27, and 27 permits the water to flow during the operation of the valve, either through the interior of the casing, or, through the tube 17 or partially through both'of the passage ways 11 and 12. In usin the device the operator grasps the ban le 6, and turns the thumb part 8 to cause either the soapy or clear water to What I claim is:

1. A device for the urpose described, comprising a casing mem er, a tube extending therethrough, a hub portion to which one end of the tube is connected, the hub portion being formed with two passage ways, one communicating withhe space within the said member and outside of the tube and the other communicating with the interior of the tube, a cap member for closing the end of the casing member and formed with a threaded partition portion for providin connection with the opposite end of the tu e, which partition is pyramid shaped and integral with the cap member, said cap member having two series of perforations, one communicating with the 1nterior of the said casing, and the other communicating with the interior of the pyramid shaped partition and the tube, and a valve for directing the flow of water either through the interior of the casing or through the tube, the casing being designed to receive a soapy substance, the construction and arrangement of the. valve and its seat being such that one passageway opens before the other closes.

2. A device for the purpose described comprising ahose member which is designed to be attached to a hot water supply faucet,

a handle member through which the hose loosely passes, a hub portion which' is formed with a substantially S shaped passage way and an axially arran ed passage way therein, a. valve formed with a sin le passage way which in one ositioncoinci es with and forms a part of t e S shaped passage way and in another position its passage way coincides with the axially arranged passage for directing the flow of water through either or both passage ways, a cylindrical member, the interior of which communicates with the S shaped passa e, a tubular member communicatmg with t c said axially arranged passage way, a closure cap formed with a hollow pyramid shaped portion having one end threaded to receive the tube and secure it to the end of the casing member and the other end formed with openings, said ca being also formed with other 0 enings a ut the base part of the pyrami shaped portion, that communicate with the interior of the casing.

3. A device for the purpose described, having in combination, a casing member to receive a soapy substance, a tube extending through the casing, a perforated closure cap on one end of the casing which is formed with a threaded pyramid shaped hollow portion to which the tubular member is connected by means of the threads to retain the cap on the said member and with which the tubular member communicates, certain of the erforations communicating with the interior of the pyramid shaped portion and other perforations communicating with the interior of the casing, a hub member attached to the casing and formed with two passage ways, one communicating with the interior of the casing and the other with the tube, a valve having a passage way therethrough adapted to register with either one of the passage ways in the hub member, seats for the valve, the passage way in the valve member being of greater dimensions than the seats for the valve so that when the valve is rotated the flow of water through either of the hub assage ways is not completely shut off be ore opening the other of said passage ways, as described.
