ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for cleaning containers includes a spraying nozzle which is constructed as a pressure sprayer, and at least two jet tubes which are arranged at opposite sides of the spraying nozzle, extending substantially parallel to the axis of the latter. The spraying nozzle and the jet tubes are mounted on a common distributor body which, in turn is mounted on a base plate. The distributor body has a tubular configuration and carries at its end remote from the base plate a seat for a valve ball. The distributor body further includes an arrangement for conducting the cleaning water back along itself to the upstream ends of the jet tubes. As a result of this construction, the arrangement has a relatively low height, and yet it is suited for use in cleaning drinking containers of various shapes, such as tumblers and stemware. The valve ball is operated by a valve tappet or operating member which is guided in a tubular guiding wall extending upwardly beyond the distributor member. The valve tappet may either be provided with external grooves, or with an internal passage and radial openings communicating therewith, for the flow of the cleaning water therethrough from the valve seat of the ball valve to the spray openings of the spraying nozzle. The spraying nozzle sprays the cleaning water against the internal surface of the respective container, and the jet tubes against the external surface thereof.
