JOHN THOMAS HOGRATH, 0F BLOOMINGTON, ILIINOIS.
DEVICE FOR WASHING DISHES AN D THE LIKE.
Application led October 18,1922. Serial No. 595,245.
This invention relates to a novel portable device for washing, sterilizing and rinsing dishes and for cleaning pots, kettles and like kitchen utensils, and the invention consists in the elements and combination of elements shown in the drawings and described in the specification, and is pointed out in the appended claims.
The object of the invention is to provide an exceedingly simple device for this purpose which can be used in connection with an ordinary hot-Water faucet of a kitchen sink andis provided with means for forcibly directing thewater in the form of a thin fan-like spray which increases-:in width as it leaves the nozzle of the device, and is provided with means whereby the water before reaching the nozzle may be impregnated with soap to force soapy water on'the articles to be washed, said means being so arranged that clear rinsing water may be forced therethrough and dischar ed at the nozzle for rinsing the articles to e washed and is provided also atl its nozzle end with a scraping device so arranged that the articles being cleansed may be scraped while the water spray is being directed immediately against the parts being scraped.l
A further object of the invention is to provide a portable device of this kind having a handle by which the nozzle of the device may be directed against all parts of thel articles to be cleansed and for directing the scraper against articles which need to -be scraped during the cleansing operation.
, A- further object of the invention is to provide a novel form of nozzle and scraping means at the dischar e end of the device.
Further objects o the invention are to further improved' and simplify devices ofV this character.
In the drawings.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a kitchen sink and its hot water faucet, showing my novel washer, sterilizer, rinser and scraper applied thereto.
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the nozzle head. y
Figure 3 is a bottom plan view thereof.
Figure-`4 is a section on the 1ine4--4 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is an end view of the nozzle head.
As shown in said drawings, 10 designates a tubewhich constitutes the main'body of the device. It is formed at its rear end 11 with a roughened portion to receive a s1ipA over connection to a flexible hose 12 adapted l.for connection toa faucet, and is formed at its other end with a nozzle designated as a whole by 13 and is provided between its ends with a casing 14 to receive and support a soap dispenser that lies in the path of the water iowing through the conduit formed in the tube 1 The hose 12 is provided withaflexible Wn'e wound end at its slip connection with the rear end 11 of Ithe tube 10 and is provided at its other end with a bell mouth connection 15 for attachment to the outlet of a faucet and with a chain or strand 'to support it on the faucet.
The nozzle, designated as a wholeby 13, embraces a down-turned portion 16 which is arranged transversely to the axis'of the tube 10, and is shaped to provide a narrow discharge slot 17. v
18 designates a scraper plate which is herein shown as flat and is attached to the under side of the down-turned nozzlev portion 16 as by means of bolts 19,-said nozzle being formed to provide lateral'wings 2O to receive said bolts. Said scraper plate extends forwardly beyond the nozzle portion 16 and the lip 21 of the forward wall of the nozzle por- Ation is out away between its ends to form between it and the scraper 18 a discharge slit 22 for the final discharge of the water from the nozzle portion. The said outer lip 21 of the nozzle portion is not cut from end to end but is formed' at its ends with downwardly facing bearings 23 which engage the top of the scraper 18 and constitute the end walls of the slit 22. Said bearing portions 23 are inclined outwardly at divergent angles at 24 so asto give a fan or iishtail form to the thin water spray that is discharged through the slit between the lip 21 and the scraper 18, 'as indicatedin Figure 4., By reason of the flat formation of the scraper plate 18 and its relation to the slit 22, the said spray is discharged over the scraper in a plane parallel to its upper flat face so that, as thus directed, the spray maintains its form with its sides divergmg from each other 'a distance Idepedent upon the length of the spray, due to the water pressure behind the nozzle.
In order that delicate surface finished articles may not be marred when directing the nozzle thereover to wash the surfaces, an outstanding cushion guard element 25, which may be in the form of a heavy rubber band, is applied over the nozzle portion beneath dll titl
rea
the scraper and is coniined in place by a lip or holder 26 `made integral with the nozzle portion 13.
'lhe operation of the device will be apparent t'rom the foregoing description which may be briefly recapitulated as `t'ollows:
The articles to be washed, such as plates, cups, saucers, knives, spoons, etc., may be supported in a basket 44 formed with suitable partitions or supporting ledges 45 of different heights to properly receive and support the ditierent articles. The said basket, with the dishes therein is supported on the bottoni of the sink, the basket preferably being provided with legs to raise its bottom away from the sink bottom. 'l`here after the bell mouth .fitting or connection l5 oil the tube l2 is attached to the hot water faucet of the sink and the device is in readiness for action. Said device is manipulated by grasping the handpiece 3S) and through it directing the nozzle end ot the device to* wards the dishes in the basketr rlhe tirst cleansing ot the dishes will be through the medium ot soapy water furnished by the mixture ot the soap compound with the water in the casing ll.
lllhen washing dishes or like articles where lood tends to adhere thereto, the surfaces ot the articles may be lightly touched with the scraping edge of the scraper 18 to dislodge suoli adhering substances and inasmuch as the spray is at the scraping edge ot the scraper such substances are quickly dislodged and washed away. 'llhe device may also be used for washing other articles such as pots, kettles or pans where 'lood and soot. deposits are likely to tenaciously ad here. lin this event, and with this kind of utensil, the scraper can be pressed on the surface to be cleansed with as much pressure as is required -to dislodge the coating or deposit; and the thin tanslike spray will quickly wash the dislodged coating away.
For this purpose the scraper 18 is preterably i'nade ot a good grade of steel. rllhe body ot the device can be made ot noncorrosive. light metal, such as aluminum,- so that it may be kept clean and sanitary and light to handle.
llVhile the details of the illustrated embodiment ot the invention has been described with considerable particularity, it is understood that such details may be somewhat varied within the scope ot the appended claims and-,that it is the intent to claim all et inherent novelty disclosed in the drawing and described in the specihcation.
