The disclosure and prior art relates to dishwashers and more particularly pertains to a new dishwasher for non-plumbed, environmentally friendly dishwashing.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a washer body that has a front side separated from a rear side, a top side separated from a bottom side, and a left side separated from a right side. The front side, the rear side, the top side, the bottom side, the left side, and the right side form an inner compartment. The top side has a principal aperture extending through to the inner compartment. The front side has a drain aperture extending through to the inner compartment. The rear side has an access aperture extending through to the inner compartment. A lid is coupled to the washer body. The lid covers and alternatively uncovers the principal aperture. A drain is coupled to the washer body within the drain aperture. The drain has a valve. A plurality of rails is coupled to the washer body and is coupled to each of the front side and the rear side within the inner compartment. A plurality of racks is selectively engageable with the plurality of rails. The plurality of rails supports the plurality of racks within the inner compartment. The plurality of racks is removable through the principal aperture. A floor panel is coupled to the front side below the drain aperture, to the rear side above the access aperture, and extends from the left side to the right. The floor panel creates a lower compartment between the bottom side of washer body and the floor panel. A heater is coupled to the washer body within the lower compartment. The heater is configured to turn water within the inner compartment into steam. A plurality of controls is coupled to the lid. The plurality of controls is in operational communication with the heating element.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
In use, the plurality of dishes, water, and a cleaning agent are placed in the inner compartment 26 of the washer body 12 and the plurality of controls 96 is engaged to activate the heater 80 and turn the water into steam to clean the plurality of dishes 76.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
