Abstract: A water spray apparatus for a tableware washing machine is provided. The water spray apparatus sprays water to tableware in a tableware washing machine in which a washing space is formed for washing the contained tableware with the sprayed water. The water spray apparatus includes a water spray having a plurality of nozzles, for spraying water while rotating and moving in such a non-circular pattern that a rotational radius varies along the inner walls of the tableware washing machine body enclosing the washing space. The water spray apparatus can spray water to the corners which are dead zones when the rotary spray rotates and sprays water in the washing space. Thus, a washing effect of the tableware washing machine is enhanced and utility of the washing space is increased.
