ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a limited use dishwasher which comprises a housing. Within the housing are a plurality of compartments for receiving dishes to be washed. Each compartment has a movable platform. Each platform is mechanically joined to a separate motor through the means of a lever arm. Conduits are provided to channel water and soap to each compartment and radiant drying is also provided in connection with each compartment. By inserting a dish within the compartment and pressing down on the platform, a switch is closed. Upon the closing of the entrance door to the dishwasher, a second switch is closed, which thereby couples the motor to a source of electrical energy. The motor causes the lever arm to move the platform upward during the washing cycle. Each motor is a rocker arm motor having an elliptical gear which engages the lever arm. On the gear are a series of bosses which contact and close switches at various points during the washing cycle. The switches, in turn, cause water and soap to be channeled to a preselected compartment. At the conclusion of the washing cycle, the drying cycle is turned on by switches. A table is provided around the outside of the washing unit for placement of controls and for other uses.
