Abstract

A device for holding flatware which flatware is cleaned in a commercial warewashing machine is disclosed. The device is secured to a conventional dolly. A drive wheel on the device engages the conveyor pan. As the dolly moves, the drive wheel oscillates a frame about a fixed axis. The frame carries the baskets which loosely hold the flatware. As the dolly moves the flatware is tossed to and fro eliminating nesting to ensure all surfaces are contacted by the wash water.
