In the late nineteenth century, socialite Josephine Cochrane grew frustrated with the frequent chipping of her fine china during hand-washing. Resolving to design a mechanical solution, she measured her dishes, constructed wire compartments to hold them secure, and coupled these with a copper boiler and a hand-cranked water pump. Her invention was a success, washing dishes quickly and safely. Cochrane’s design was patented in 1886 and went on to win top honors at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition.
At first, the commercial dishwasher found its primary market in hotels and restaurants, which valued the machine’s efficiency and sanitation capabilities. However, Cochrane continued to refine her design, envisioning a future where every home would have one. [1]
