The lower rack member and the upper frame member are connected to each other in a positively engaging manner by means of vertical support members or columns. The vertical support members are received in recesses provided in the lower rack member and in the upper frame member. The cross-sectional contours of the recesses correspond to those o~ the support members.
2. Description of the Related Art Many dishwasher racks of the above-described type are known in the art. Automatic dishwashers are used in hotels, restaurants and cafeterias for cleaning glasses, dishes, cutlery and other pieces. In addition to being used in dishwashers, some of the known dishwasher racks can also be used for storage and transport purposes, particularly in the case of glasses. Drinking glasses have different shapes and sizes. Because of the mechanical and thermal loads and because of the glasses being handled in the kitchen and in Z~ 9 restaurants, glasses are particularly susceptible to being damaged and to breaking. In order to reduce this damage to a minimum, glasses which are in danger of being damaged are protected at the ends by divisions in the rack.
For the above-described reason, known dishwasher racks are provided with upper frame members which also may partially have divisions as necessary. The upper frame member also serves to stack several dishwasher racks above each other with dishes being placed in the racks.
A dishwasher rack of this type has a lower rack portion with a grate like perforated bottom and four frame side wall members. An upper frame member can be placed onto the frame formed by the four frame side wall members. These components can also be connected to each other in a positively engaging manner. This engagement is effected by means of upwardly projecting steps or lugs on the frame of the lower rack portion which are received in corresponding recesses at the bottom side of the upper frame member. Grate-like dividing members are suspended or fastened in the upper frame member and/or in the lower rack member, wherein each section of the divisions has the purpose to receive a drinking glass.
Depending on the height of the drinking glasses, it is also possible to place several upper frame members on the lower rack member until the desired height is reached which is necessary for supporting the glasses placed in the dishwasher 2~
rack for cleaning in a secure and stable manner. In the known rac~s, the upper frame members are connected to each other to form a rigid s~ructural unit by using vertical pipes or rods or by connecting the upper frame members which have been placed on the lower rack member.
It is the primary object of the present invention to simplify the structure of the known dishwasher racks. In particular, the assembly of the racks is to be made simpler, iOe., the assembly of the rack members by the manufacturer is to be made simpler or the assembly by the user of the rack is to be made simpler, so that the individual components of the rack can be combined in accordance with specific requirements. Also, this assembly is to be possible without requiring special or complicated tools.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In the accordance with the present invention, the vertical support members are rails which are L-shaped in cross-section. A row of holes is provided in at least one of the two sides of the rail and a cutout forming a flap is provided in at least one of the two sides of the rail in the lower portion thereof and underneath the row of holes. The flap is resilient in a direction transversely of the axis of the rail and has at the outer side thereof a step which projects from the plane of the side of the rail.
The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.

Fig. 6 is top view of the support member of Fig. 4; and Fiy. 7 is a side view, partially in section, of a corner of the lower rack portion between the direction of arrow A in Fig. 2.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Fig. 1 of the drawing shows in a side view a dishwasher rack which includes a lower rack member 1 with a perforated, grate-like bottom 2 and four frame side wall members 3 which are also advantageously perforated. Vertical support members 4 are provided at the corners of the lower rack member 1~
The support members 4 carry an upper frame member 5. Bores 6 are provided on the upper edges of the frame side wall members 3 of the lower rack member 1 and on the upper frame member 5. Web-like or grate-like partitions, not illustrated in detail, can be suspended from and fi~ed in the bores 6.
These partitions define within a rack zones in which a glass or another dish to be cleaned is placed.
The spacing between lower member 1 and upper member 5 differs depending on the size and shape of the ~lasses or dishes to be cleaned. This spacing is determined by the Zq~ 9~L~
vertical support members 4. ~nstead of the web-like or grate-like partitions mentioned above, lt is also possible to use oth~r inserts to be mounted in the dishwasher rack, for example, inserts in which plates can be inserted and which have the purpose to maintain the plates in an upright position.
A vertical support member 4 is illustrated in detail in Figs. 4-6. The support member 4 is a rail which is L-shaped in cross-section and has two side members 7 and 8. Side member 7 has a row of several holes 9 of equal diameter which are arranged vertically one above the other. A flap 10 is provided by a cutout made in the lower portion of the support member 4 and underneath the above-mentioned row of holes 9.
The flap 10 is resiliently movable transversely of the axis of the L-shaped rail. Flap 10 has at its outer side a step 11 which projects from the plane E1 of the side member 7.
The portion of the flap 10 extending downwardly from the step 11 is shaped so as to narrow conically towards the bottom.
Portion 12 of the flap 10 above the step 11 is preferably somewhat thinner, i.e., it has a thinner wall thickness than the side member 7 of the support member ~.
As can be seen from the top view of Fig. 6, the longitudinal edge of the side member 7 in which the flap 10 is provided has a rearwardly projecting rim 13, the inner height h of which corrPsponds approximatély to the path of 2~C~89~
resilient movement of the flap 10, so t.hat when the flap 10 is pushed in the direction of arrow B until its outer edge which forms the space 11 is located in the plane indicated in Fig. 6 by line E1, the flap 10 does not move back ~urther than to the region indicated in Fig. 6 by line E2.
The components discussed above are advantageously all made of a suitable plastics material.
Recesses 14 and 18, respectively, are provided in the corner areas of the lower rack member 1 and of the upper frame member 5 for receiving the vertical support members 4.
The recesses 14 and 18 have cross-sections which correspond to the L-shaped cross-section of the support member 4. The portion of the recess 14 in the lower rack member 1 which receives the side 7 with the flap 10 has a width over its length 1 which corresponds to the outer height H at the rim of the side 7. In order to limit the distance by which the support member 4 can be slid into the recess 14, the portion of the recess 14 which is near the bottom has inwardly projecting, step-like pro~ections 15 which reduce the cross-section of the recess 14 and prevent the support member 4 from being pushed through the recess. In order to fix the inserted support member 4, recesses 17 are provided in the outer wall 16 of the frame side wall members 3 of the lower rack portion 1 which define toward the outside the recess 14 for receiving the support member 4. The step 11 of the flap XC)~9~
10 enga~es in a locking manner in the recess 17 when the support member 4 is inserted, so that the support member 4 is held in a positively engaging manner. The support member 4 can be removed from the recess 14 when the flap 10 is pressed rearwardly by reaching through recess 17.
The L-shaped recesses 18 for receiving the upper portion of the support member 4 provided in the corner areas of the upper frame member 5 extend over the height of the upper frame member 5 and include a countersunk bore in the outer wall which extends through the wall of the member 5 in the corner region thereof. This bore 19 serves to receive a spreading bolt 20.
The axis of the spreading bolt 20 extends transversely over the longitudinal axis of the support member 4 and has at its end a flat head 21. The other end of the bolt 20 has an incision 22. A conical attachment 23 is provided on the bolt extending over the axial length of the incision 22. The diameter at the base of this conical attachment 23 is greater than the diameter of the shaft 2~ of the spreading bolt 20, so that an undercut is formed.
It is further clear from the above-described figures that the L-shaped recesses 14, 18 in the frames of the lower member 1 and the upper member 5 for receiving the support members 4 are provided in the corner areas and one side 7 of the support member ~ e~tends in one side of the frame and the other side 8 of the support member ~ extends in the other side of the frame.
The lower rack portion 1 and the upper frame portion 5 have a predetermined size and shape. The support members 4 are advantageously manu~actured in se~eral leng~hs. The support members ~ can be easily cut to the desired length depending on the shape of the glasses and the size of the glasses to be cleaned. When the rack is assembled, the support members 4 are initially inserted in the recesses 14 in the lower rack portion l until they are locked by means of the Elaps and the recesses 17 and, thus, these components are positively engaged in each other. The upper frame member 5 is now placed on the support members 4 which may have been previously cut to size. The upper ends of the support members ~ are received b~ the recesses 18 in the corner areas. When the intended height or the intended vertical distance between lower member 1 and upper member 5 is ad~usted, the spreading bolts 20 are inserted or pressed in, so that the bolts 20 also form a positively engaging connection, as indicated in Fig. 3. The grate-like dividing members are now assembled or other holding means are inserted. The dishwasher rack is now ready for its intended purpose.
9~
Without departing from the scope of the invention, the flap 10 and the bores 9 of the row of bores may be provided in different sides of the support member 4. Also, the outer bent rim 15 at the side 7 of the support member 4 may be omitted. In this case, the flap 10 has a thin wall thickness, ~o that it can yield in a transverse movement when the support member 4 is inserted without projecting over the rear plane or surface of the side 7. The bent longitudinal rim 13 and the corresponding shape of the recess 14 provides a free space for the flap 10 in which it can move when the support member 4 is inserted. As already mentioned, this space can also be obtained in a different but equivalent manner which requires that at least that side of the support member 4 in which the flap is provided has a sufficiently large wall thickness. The wall of the recess 14 of the support member 4 may also be stepped in order to provide a free space for the flap 10 in this manner.
As described above, the positively engaging connection between the support member 4 and the lower member 1 is effected by the flap 10, and a recess 17 and the upper member 5 is connected to the support member 4 by means of spreading bolts 20. However, it would also be possible to exchange the two forms of connection, so that the spreading bolt 20 is provided in the corner region of the lower rack member 1 and a connection with the flap is provided in the upper frame z~
member 5. It is further possible to provide a rivet-like connecting or fastening member instead of the spreading bolt.
While a specific embodiment of the invention has been shown and described in detail to illustrate the application of the inventive principles, it will be understood that the invention may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles.
For the above-described reason, known dishwasher racks are provided with upper frame members which also may partially have divisions as necessary. The upper frame member also serves to stack several dishwasher racks above each other with dishes being placed in the racks.
A dishwasher rack of this type has a lower rack portion with a grate like perforated bottom and four frame side wall members. An upper frame member can be placed onto the frame formed by the four frame side wall members. These components can also be connected to each other in a positively engaging manner. This engagement is effected by means of upwardly projecting steps or lugs on the frame of the lower rack portion which are received in corresponding recesses at the bottom side of the upper frame member. Grate-like dividing members are suspended or fastened in the upper frame member and/or in the lower rack member, wherein each section of the divisions has the purpose to receive a drinking glass.
Depending on the height of the drinking glasses, it is also possible to place several upper frame members on the lower rack member until the desired height is reached which is necessary for supporting the glasses placed in the dishwasher 2~
rack for cleaning in a secure and stable manner. In the known rac~s, the upper frame members are connected to each other to form a rigid s~ructural unit by using vertical pipes or rods or by connecting the upper frame members which have been placed on the lower rack member.
It is the primary object of the present invention to simplify the structure of the known dishwasher racks. In particular, the assembly of the racks is to be made simpler, iOe., the assembly of the rack members by the manufacturer is to be made simpler or the assembly by the user of the rack is to be made simpler, so that the individual components of the rack can be combined in accordance with specific requirements. Also, this assembly is to be possible without requiring special or complicated tools.
