In the disclosed glass washing machine each spray curtain comprises a vertically slitted sheet of supple plastic and a similarly slitted guard sheet of a stiffer but flexible smooth-surface plastic. The guard sheet extends down through about the upper half of the height of the supple sheet and overlies its side from which glasses approach it, prolonging the life of the supple sheet by decreasing rubbing and sharp flexing due to passing glasses. A grid of vertical slats closely underlies the top wall in each cleansing zone, causing upwardly sprayed liquid to fall from it in numerous uniformly distributed streams that are effective in cleansing exterior surfaces of glasses. Each spray nozzle assembly is removable without tools by loosening one wing nut and pulling out of the assembly a male fitting on a hose that communicates the assembly with another part of the machine.
A machine for washing articles such as beverage glasses, comprising a carrier for supporting articles to be washed, housing structure defining an enclosure that has a top wall with a substantially horizontal undersurface overlying the carrier at a substantial distance above the same, and nozzles mounted beneath the carrier from which liquid is discharged upwardly through the carrier towards an area of said top wall, said machine being characterized by:
