ABSTRACT:
An endless train of dollies with means for continuously moving them in an oval path and in either direction, each dolly supporting a tray rack that in turn can removably support a plurality of trays in stacked relation. Bus boys load trays of soiled dishes into the tray racks at one station in the endless train of moving dollies. The endless train of moving dollies is positioned adjacent to a second endless train of moving dollies, each dolly in this second train supporting a basket for receiving soiled dishware and trays that a second bus boy standing in a second station positioned between the two endless trains of dollies transfers trays of soiled dishware with their trays from the tray racks to the baskets in the second endless conveyor. The tray racks are of novel construction and each one consists of a U-shaped casing in horizontal cross section. The two parallel walls of the casing have tray supporting rods on their inner surfaces and the rods of both walls are arranged in pairs so that each pair can support a removable tray on which soiled dishware has been placed. The height between adjacent pair of tray supporting rods is such that the dishware on one tray will not interfere with the tray thereabove.
