  • Patent number: 10413154
    Abstract: A cleaning apparatus and system for removing debris from a surface of a plate. The apparatus has a cleaning area and a pair of brushes disposed in the cleaning area with the bristles of a first brush facing toward the bristles of the second brush so that debris is scraped off the plate as the plate is pushed through the bristles. The cleaning area may be defined by a container or an opening in a work surface. Brush mounting mechanisms mount the brushes to opposing sidewalls of the container or opposing interior surfaces of the opening. Preferably, the brush mounting mechanisms and brushes are cooperatively configured so the bristles of the brushes overlap each other where the plate will be pushed through the bristles. The mounting mechanisms may comprise a clip that engages a sidewall or an attachment mechanism that engages the interior surface. The system includes the apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20120284938
    Abstract: A dishwasher that uses the abrasive force of brushes to clean dishes. The dish is held in place from the top by a rack made of parallel bars so the top oscillating brush can pass through the rack and clean the outside of the dish. The dish is held in place below by the axle of the bottom rotating brush so the brush rotates to clean the inside of the dish. The dishwasher also consists of a rotating rack that holds the dish in place at the start and during the rinse cycle. The rotating rack consists of bars that support the dish, water slot to guide rinse water to the rinse chamber, and a moving cover that regulates the flow of the washing fluids to appropriate chambers.

  • Patent number: 3939514
    Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed by which a number of thin, disc-like wafers are moved in a linear path and fed into such path on a discrete basis from a supply or feeding station. The individual or discrete wafers are moved into engagement with a pair of endless belts which, in effect, define the linear path and are arranged one over the other with the facing portions of the belts being spaced apart by at least the diameter of the wafers to be interposed therebetween. As the wafers are moved through the linear path by the belts, they are moved between pairs of brushes, each of a pair being rotatably mounted on a respective side of the path for engaging and cleaning the surfaces of the wafer, the pairs of brushes extending in the direction of movement of the wafers.
