Abstract
An installation in a dish washing machine to lower a limp mesh on dishes loaded in each work-basket thereof, such mesh settling on and between the dishes during the rearward travel of the work-basket to stabilize the dishes during the dish washing operation. The installation involves a horizontal looped drive operated by each work-basket and a mesh-supporting conveyor companion to and actuated by the said drive. The mesh is attached at the rear to the conveyor, and with its front end to the work-basket. It is drawn by and over the work-basket on the rearward travel thereof; and the conveyor has an overdrive to advance the mesh with sufficient slack to settle as stated.
