Rapid Tumbler Washer

The necessity for a rapid and thorough tumbler cleaning apparatus for restaurants, soda fountains and other public drinking places is apparent Orlando P. Mason of Bellaire, 0., has patented a machine for this work which seems to be simple and easily operated, also permitting rapid use. A reservoir of water is provided with automatic feed and drain pipes to maintain the water at the proper level. Inside this reservoir one or more vertical tubes are secured by foot brackets as shown. Inside each tube is a colled spring, which forces upward a screw-threaded

spindle turning in a collar at the top of the tube. Each spindle bears a brush shaped to fit the Inside of the tumblers. As the glass Is pressed over this brush the spindle is forced downward through the collar, revolving as it falls, while the glass is held firmly in the hand to prevent revolution. As the brush is saturated with water and whirls only a few insertions are required to clean the tumbler thoroughly.
