(54) Dishwashing machine with epicycloidal spray apparatus


(57) The dishwashing machine comprises an epicycloidal spray apparatus (4) which has a spray arm (6) mounted rotatably about an axis (8) on a tubular arm (11) that is in turn capable of rotating about an axis (13) passing through the centre of a washing vessel (3) with a rectangular plan outline. The spray arm (6) extends from the axis of rotation (8) of the spray apparatus for a radial length (R) that is equal to one fourth of the shortest inner side (L) of the washing vessel (3), and corresponds to the distance (A) between the two axis of rotation (8, 13).
