Abstract
A rotatable tray for supporting at least one package together with at least one nozzle for projecting a jet of liquid along an axis which is substantially at 45.degree. to the axis of rotation of the tray.
Claims10
A washing machine for electronic components disposed in a package, comprising;
- a circular tray rotatable about an axis inclined at 45.degree. to the horizontal, whereby said tray has a surface lying at an angle of 45.degree. to the horizontal, said tray supporting on said surface at least one package to be washed, so that said package orbits said axis;
- and
- a plurality of nozzles having horizontal axes and disposed in an array around the center of said tray within the horizontally projected outline of said tray for training respective jets of liquid at different points at different quadrants around said tray, whereby upon rotation of said tray, said package passes through each of the respective jets to be washed, with the angle at which each jet is trained upon said package varying as the package passes therethrough, and the angle with which each jet is trained upon said package differing from jet to jet.
