A cup washer includes a tub providing a space in which a cup is accommodated, and a sprayer disposed on the tub and configured to spray water toward the cup. The sprayer includes a first spray nozzle and a second spray nozzle coupled to the first spray nozzle. The second spray nozzle is disposed on a central portion of the first spray nozzle. The first spray nozzle extends away from an outer circumference of the second spray nozzle. The first spray nozzle is rotatable around the second spray nozzle.

A washing apparatus includes a case defining an outer appearance and having therein a washing space to wash an object, a cradle supporting the object in the washing space, a first water nozzle spaced apart above the cradle and for spraying washing water upwards, and a second water nozzle provided in plurality, the plurality of second water nozzles spaced apart in different radial directions with respect to the first water nozzle and for spraying washing water inward of the first water nozzle.

A beverage container washing system may utilize an auto-opening holder to laterally separate opposing grippers from one another when a housing is configured in a loading or unloading configuration to facilitate insertion and/or removal of a beverage container into or from the holder.

A dishwasher for treating dishes according to an automatic cycle of operation can include a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber receiving dishes for treatment, a spray system providing treating liquid to the treating chamber, a low profile dish rack located in the tub and having a bottom wall and at least a side wall extending upwardly from the bottom wall, with a depending portion extending downwardly from the bottom wall and oriented at an angle to the bottom wall to define an incline angle, and at least one spray tube carried by the dish rack and located below the bottom wall, the spray tube having nozzles emitting spray into the depending portion.

A dishwasher, including: a dishwashing compartment having a loading opening; a door configured to close the loading opening; and at least one washware rack configured for movement out of and into the dishwashing compartment, wherein the at least one washware rack includes a frame having a bottom portion and a side wall portion; and at least one adjustable glass support member extending across an interior of the at least one washware rack and disposed on the frame via brackets.

A sanitizing system for preventing the spread of harmful germs on food or beverage containers by utilizing a quick and compact UV sanitizing system. The doors of the pass-through chamber allow the customer to insert an un-sanitized container on the entry (dirty) side of the system, and the retail employee to remove the sanitized container from the exit (clean) side of the system without having to touch any other surface (doors, knobs, handles, etc.) than the container itself. The system utilizes movable UV light sources to minimize the time required for effective sanitizing.

Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to, among other things, methods, systems, apparatuses, and devices that are or configured for reuse, and promotion of reuse. While embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to devices, apparatus, systems and methods for reuse of cups (or other product which can be reused), at least some of the embodiments can be used for recycling products (which may be reused, or, materials thereof used to produce new products).

A glasses rack for a dishwasher may be configured to hold glasses in an inclined position. The glasses may be inclined at a predetermined angle relative to horizontal to allow draining of treating liquid from the glasses yet achieve a reduced overall height of the dish rack relative to a conventional dish rack. A bottom wall of the dish rack may be inclined at an angle that matches an effective inclination angle of an upper, tiered dish rack, and the bottom wall inclination angle may correspond to the glasses inclination angle. A sprayer may be mounted to the dish rack and arranged to spray treating liquid into the interior of the glasses.

The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus for rinsing and disinfecting utensils, on demand, with a controller operating the components that deliver a pro-determined volume or timed flow of water, and exposure time of sanitizer(s) to the intended objects. The spray embodiment has high performance conical spray nozzle(s) controlled by a controller that reduces water usage and that may vary depending on the viscosity of the material to be eliminated. The recirculating embodiment has a recirculating water system, with a controller operating the components that recirculate water throughout the system until the turbidity exceeds a chosen threshold, and displace with fresh water until the turbidity returns to a lower threshold. The water resumes recirculation until it again exceeds the chose turbidity threshold and the water in the system is again displaced by fresh water. Both spray and recirculating embodiments can contain multiple rinse stations.

A dishwasher including a dish rack having a wire frame rack defining an interior and comprising a plurality of spaced wire frame elements defining a dish supporting surface forming at least a portion of the interior, and a bumper having a body and an elastic surface. The bumper can span at least two of the wire frame elements.
