ABSTRACT:
A cart washing device is disclosed including a housing defining a washing chamber therein having fluid piping extending therearound with a plurality of nozzles preferably of the rotary type to spray washing and rinsing fluid throughout the washing chamber. A drive shaft is rotatably mounted within the housing and includes arms fixedly secured with respect thereto which include constructions at the lower end thereof for grasping, holding and lifting of carts to be washed. Rotation of the drive shaft will cause movement of the arms upwardly and lifting of the cart upwardly into the washing chamber such that washing and rinsing by fluids coming from the nozzles will be facilitated. The manner of grasping of the carts by the arms will include a cart bracket preferably being fixedly secured to each cart and a bracket head of enlarged dimension. The lower ends of the arms define slots for receiving the cart brackets as well as supporting members for locking the brackets and specifically the bracket head into the slot. The supporting device can be locked in position by way of a locking tab selectively positionable therebelow. The locking tab is held in the locking engagement by a biasing device such as a spring. Platforms extend outwardly from the support device to move it between the supporting and releasing position. Similarly, an unlocking platform extends outwardly from the locking device to move that from a locked position to an unlocked position and vice versa. Preferably, the support device includes a shoulder engageable with the enlarged bracket head to facilitate securement of a cart with respect to the arms for lifting thereof into the washing chamber.
