Today in 1892, US Patent 459635 A was issued, an invention of John D. Kelly, for his “Rinsing Tub.” There’s no Abstract, although in the description it includes these claims:
This invention relates to a glass and tumbler washer and rinser for use in bar-rooms.
The objects of the invention are to provide a suitable washer to be located behind the bar in which tumblers or glasses may be plunged and washed or rinsed, to construct the washer in a cheap and simple manner, adapt it to avoid waste of water, and to be readily cleaned.
