citizen of 'the vUnited States, residing at Port Townsend, in` thecountyofdeiferson and State :of Washington,4 have invented certain -lnew and usefulvlmprovementsin Dish-lVashers, of whichthe following a specification.

-Il -Y i v Y I This invention relates to dish washers and is designed particularly to construct a de-` vice o ythis class which :will fcleanse the dishes by the circulation of water,- soaped or otherwise, about -the dishes.

The ob'ect of this invention isifto construct a evice ofthistype andchar'acter.) f in which it is possible to setthe 'dishes -on uard the same from edge if so desired and also at the same `time the agitator.

Vifith Athe above and other objects in View .this invention'c'onsists of the construction, combination and-arrangement of parts all as hereinafter more fullydescribed, claimed and illustrated' 'n the accompaiiyingA drawin s,` wherein:

`igure 1 is a central longitudinal section of a washer construct ed in accordance'with the present invention'tFig. 2 a central', transverse section with the agitator removed; Fig. 3 is a top plan view of one extremity of the Washer illustra ting the mannei'in which the guards are located in the vessel g Fig.v 4'4is'- a perspective View of the upper guard; Fig. 5

.the lower guard.

'is u similar view of The Washer 'forming the subject-matter of the present invention comprises a rectangular receptacle spaced therefrom by or vessel 1 -having the brackets 2 the removable bottom said bottom beingprolvided with a plurality. of perforations .4.

'llie'false'bottom-is. also provided with a central openi-n through which-extends the.

'rod said. ro at its lower extremity having a transverse plate 6 that permanentl attaches to the bottom of the -receptac e 1.

At one extremity of the rectangular vessel 1 and between the false bottom 3 and the bottom of the vessel outlet being adapted outlet 7,v said closed vby the is an to be plu 6 carried on the exterior of the vessel 1. llhis 'outlet permits the water to be'. drained from the vessel and also all dirt and like foreign matter to be removed from A the interior' of the vessel with the-water. An agitator comprising a t-ubulurrmember 9 having a handle 10 a t one extremity and a I 4 .trinisve'rse -plate. 11,-A at other is adapted fto reciprocate on the rod-5 by the latter .This construction of an agitator prevents any displacement ot 'the sam'e and also causes the waterto be thoroughly circulated through the entire vessel,` which action will remove dirt from the articlesl contained within the said vessel.

Located transversely Ion the false bottom 3 is the angle iron 12 secured to said false bottom by bolts passing through the arm ofthe angle iron resting` against said bottom. The other arm of the anglev iron r12 is provided'with'a series of Aopenings 13 in horizontal alinement. isspaced on' the false bottom 3 towardleach end of the kvessel from the' 'angle iron 12v and formsa means whereby the dishes contained 1in the vessel may be retained onedge. Lo-

bcing received within the tubular member 9.

A -similar-angleiron 14 cated -in direct vertical alinement above the angle/iron 14' are the brackets 15 so constructed that one terminal thereof is secured to thelongitudinal sides of the vessel 1 whilcthe opposite terminal thereto is bent inwardly and has formed in the rupper'end' thereof the recess 16.

" v*An upper and a lower guard indicated in general as' A and B respectively are carried in the brackets 15 on each side ofthe agitator and provide a means for retaining the dishesy from contact with-the latter-and also supply a means of holding the dishes in vertical position. These guards comprise an angular wire frame 17 having formed at fright' angles thereto the arms 18, at' the lower extremity of which are the hooks 19. The lower guard .B is constructed exactly simil lar in Vall respects to the `upper guard with the exception thatthe arms 18 thereofv are' shorter than the arms 18 of the lattery and are spaced nearer the extremities of the frame The frame 17 is'so'constructed that wihen the .corners thereof 'oppositely dis posed -to the arms 18 and 18 lare held -in the recesses 1G of @the brackets 15, the longitudinal side of the frame carrying the arms 18 and 18 will be approximately .in vertical alineinent with the arm of the angle iron 12 in whichis formed the openings 13. Thus it will be seen "that the hooks 19 are placed within the openin 13 andl the arms and the frame are hel in the recess 16 of the bracketsl forming a substantial guard for thc agitato'r. j f f e From the foregoing it will readily be through and about thedishescontained' from Awhich it can bev drawuthrou h thev sell or against the lower guard B.

seen upon the vertical reciprocation of the agitator, the water will be circulated Within the rectangularvessel l causing all dirt tov be removed therefrom and .sifted through the false bottomB intothe space between the sameiand the bottom of the l-vessel opening 7 The dishes may be place upon end within thevesselbyresting one edge against the angle ironv 14 and the other either against tlie` transverse end .of the. ves'- 'lIt will also be seen that theremovable feature of the false bottom and the guards and the simplicity.v of the construction thereof facilitates the cleansixigand the sanitation ofv the device.-
