Abstract
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.
