Claims. (CI. 134—115)
-.This mveniionuelatesto .combinationsink and dishwasher having .juxta-poslttoned ..compartmentswith means for spraying dishes from, above and/ibelow in one of said'.compartments.
An object of this invention is to provide, a sink .5 that can,he ..utilized ;as <sub>c</sub>a work table,.: dishwasher or conventional sink.
Another object of the invention is to provide a dishwasher that can be easily installed in a sink with few minor alterations. 10
Another object of the device is to provide Ά dishwasher that is simple in operation and construction and can be easily positioned in the sink or removed therefrom.
With the above and other objects in view the is invention consists of the novel details of construction, arrangement and combination of parts more fully hereinafter described,, claimed and illustrated .in the .accompanying drawings in which: 20
Figure 1 is a sectional view of an embodiment of the invention.
Figure 2 is a top plan view with the cover in open position.
Figure 3 is a view of the dishwasher installed 25 on a double sink.
Figure 4 is .a sectional view on the line 4—4 of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a modified form of the dishwasher and <sub>30</sub>
Figure 6 is a sectional view on the line. 6--6 of Figure 5.
Referring more in detail to the drawings the numeral 10 designates a sink in which an embodiment of the invention is installed as shown <sub>3</sub>in Figure 1.
The sink 10 is .provided with;an.inlet. 1:2 adja-* cent the top of ihesink .below.the. drain hoard .14 and .an inlet 16 adjacent the bottom of the sink. Couplings 18 are. positioned in the inlets .and <sub>40 </sub>gaskets 20 thereon provide water tight seals between the couplingsand the sink. The couplings 18 are connected to a supply pipe 22 in the conventional manner by an elbow 24 and a T-coupling’26. The supply pipe 22 is connected to a water pump 28 which is driven by an electric motor 30.
The sink is provided with a drain 32 to which is connected a two way valve 34 which permits the water in the sink to be drained through the goose 50 neck 36, permits water to flow to the pump 28 by means of the pipe 38 connected thereto or will close the drain, thus retaining the water in the Sink.
The upper coupling 18 is provided with a coni- 55 calsseat. 40 ito receive: the 'complimentary 'Shaped coupling 42 -which is connected to the center of the tubular member 44 which is positioned at right angles ether etc. Longitudinally extending tubular members .4 6 /having perforations 48 are connected to the member 44 at the outer ends thereof, the center thereof and intermediately of the. center iand .outer: .ends cas /shown in ..Figure 2 and a bar 50 secured ,to the ends of the members closes these ends/.and forms the upper dishwasher frame 52.
The frame 52 is connected to a cover 54 by means, of ./loop hangers :56 -/secured to the cover. The .cover iis,hinged to.the;sink.:at 58 and-is provided .with :a depending flange 60 to /provide. :a water/tight :flt::between.:the.iao.ver:and.ith.e sink.
The lower coupling il 8 is provided 'With a .conical seat 40 to receive the complimentary shaped coupling -42. which is . connected .to the center of the. 'tubular member i62. which is. positioned .cat right angles thereto. Longitudinally extending tubular members '64 'having perforations. 4.8 .are connected to the member 62 as are .the members 4,6i and a bar 66, similar to bar :50 'forms the lower dishwasher frame: :68. The frames are ^similar· except for the means of suspension within the sink. The frame .68 having thumb screws 70 positioned in the bar 66 which .are received in seats ?7.2'formed in the side of the sink./adjacent the bottom thereof <sub>;</sub>.and. when the screws /are tightened the frame 68 is fixed in position, as shown in Figure 2.
A wire basket 74: having; feet :76 is positioned in the sink to hold the dishes during the washing thereof.
The cycle of operation ιοί this device is as follows:
The sink is filled with hot water to a point below the lower frame, soap powder is added, the valve is turned to .permit; the. water to circulate through .the pump and supply pipe, the cover is closed, the motor started and the water is sprayed on the dishes in the; wire-basket, water descends from the upper frame and ascends from the lower frame. When-the dishes are- cleanthemotor- is stopped, the valve Is- turned to -drain the soapy water and clean water is added, the motor is again started, and the clean water is used to rinse the dishes. When the dishes have been thoroughly rinsed the water is drained and the dishes allowed to dry.
The construction as shown in Figure 3 is similar to the construction as previously described except that the washer is shown installed on a double sink 78 and the cover 54, instead of being
2,632,452 hinged is provided with ribs which are positioned in parallel recesses 88 whereby the cover is adapted to slide from one compartment to another.
A latch 82 is provided on the cover 54, which coacts with a keeper 84 on the sink.
In the modification shown in Figure 5, the coupling 42 is connected to the tubular member 86 and longitudinally extending tubular members 88 are connected to the ends thereof. A bar 90 connected to the free ends of the members 88 is provided with thumb screws 79 as is the lower frame 68 and the frame 92 thus formed is installed in the same manner as frame 68.
In this instance the members 88 are provided with vertically disposed and relatively spaced outlets 94 which are apertured at 96 and provided with collar flanges 98 on which are mounted the rotary tubular sprinklers 100, which are perforated at 102. The sprinklers are provided with the bearing 104 and bearing seat 106, and are retained on the outlets 94 by means of the screw 198.
The sprinklers 109 are similar to the conventional lawn sprinklers in shape and operation and a frame similar to the frame 92 can be attached to the cover 54 as is the frame 52.
The operation of this form of the invention is the same as previously described except that the water used to wash the dishes will be given a circulatory motion.
It is believed that the operation of the device will be apparent to those skilled in the art and it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction, arrangement and combination of parts may be resorted tn without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claims.
