Description

The present invention relates to a Geschirrablagesystem for a crockery basket of a dishwasher, in particular for a crockery basket of a domestic dishwasher, with a disposable along a wall of the crockery dish rack for storing crockery and with a fixable on the crockery storage device for storing the dish rack, wherein the dish tray in at least two use positions of different height can be stored.

Domestic dishwashers known in the art are often equipped with a crockery basket for containing crockery having a body comprising a bottom and at least one wall projecting therefrom. It can be mounted along the wall a Geschirrablagesystem, which makes it possible to place smaller dishes, such as glasses and cups, in the crockery basket over each other to save space. Such a Geschirrablagesystem this has a dish tray on the top of tableware parts can be stored. Below the dish rack remains a free space in which more dishes can be arranged.

In this case, the dish tray can be conveniently mounted so movably on a bearing device fixed to the wall, that the dish tray can be stored in at least two use positions of different heights. In this way, the position of the dish rack can be adapted to different levels of crockery.

Object of the present invention is to improve a Geschirrablagesystem of the type mentioned.

The object is achieved in a Geschirrablagesystem of the type mentioned in that the bearing device has at least two bearing elements arranged at different heights supporting surfaces, wherein upon taking one of the use of positions facing the wall supporting portion of the dish rack rests on each one of the support surfaces, and wherein the dish tray from the use positions out in a designated pivoting direction is pivotable in a displacement position in which the riser is displaceable in the vertical direction, wherein on the bearing element at least one pointing to the wall guide surface is formed, which cooperates with a guide element of the dish tray so that when moving the dish rack loosening the dish tray from the storage device and when taking one of the use of positions pivoting the dish tray against the intended pivoting verhinder prevented t is.

Spatial information, such as "top" or "side" refers in this application to the intended position of use of the dishwasher and its items.

The respective support surface allows in the intended use positions in cooperation with the support portion a simple positive support of the dish tray in the height direction. As a result, the dish tray in many cases carry a higher weight than would be possible with a frictional support in the vertical direction, which is advantageous, for example, tea glasses with heavier soil.

The support surfaces may be arranged horizontally or inclined, the latter favors the drainage of rinsing liquid and keeping the support surfaces clean. Conveniently, the support surfaces may be sloping sloping to the center of the dish rack.

The support section can in particular be a protruding latching tooth, mandrel or spike so that the support surfaces can also be arranged in depressions of the bearing element.

By the harness tray from the use positions out in a designated pivoting direction is pivotable, the support portion can be brought into a displacement position in which the support portion is disengaged from the support surfaces, so that the dish tray in the vertical direction, in particular linear, is displaceable.

The intended pivoting direction is that direction of rotation, with which the dish tray from one of the use positions in the displacement position can be transferred, wherein the pivoting is such that the pointing away from the wall end of the dish tray is raised.

In this case, at least one pointing to the wall guide surface is formed on the bearing element, which cooperates with a guide element of the dish rack so that when moving the dish rack loosening the dish tray from the storage device and taking one of the use positions pivoting the dish tray, against the provided Pivoting direction is prevented.

The guide surface and the guide element serve the purpose of the dish tray when adjusting the use position to guide so that the dish tray can not accidentally come off in the direction of the center of the dish rack of the storage device.

For this purpose, the guide surface extends in the height direction, ie upwards and downwards, at least so far that the guide element is guided over the entire height adjustment range. In this way it is easily prevented that the dish tray is accidentally released when adjusting the position of use of the storage device.

A special guide, which would prevent detachment of the dish tray in the opposite direction, is usually unnecessary, since such detachment is prevented by the bearing elements and / or the wall of the dish rack. In such a one-sided guidance of the guide element, wherein the guide element is guided on its side facing away from the wall, but not on the side facing the wall, there is less susceptibility to contamination than in solutions in which the guide element facing away from the wall and is guided on the wall-facing side. This effect is based on the fact that so the guide surface and the guide element during operation of the dishwasher by the rinse water can be better achieved, resulting in an improved cleaning of the arrangement.

Likewise, the guide surface and the guide element serve to limit the pivoting region of the dish tray so that the dish tray opposite to the intended pivoting direction can not be pivoted on the respective intended use position, so that the dish tray is fixed in the respective position of use. This means, in particular, that it prevents the end of the dish tray, which points away from the wall, from falling further below the gravity of the stored items to be washed, in particular crockery, than intended.

By the guide surface and the guide element take over the two functions described, can be dispensed with further means for vertical guidance of the dish tray when adjusting the height of the dish tray as well as other means for limiting the pivoting range of the dish tray in many cases, which reduces the design effort.

The guide element may in particular be designed in the form of a pin or pin with an alignment extending in the longitudinal direction of the wall.

The height adjustment is now carried out by the fact that the operator of the facing away from the wall end of the dish tray is folded up to transfer the dish tray from the old use position to the displacement position. Now the dish tray can be moved up or down, in particular linear, and then brought by folding down the pointing away from the wall end of the dish tray in the new use position.

The installation of the Geschirrablagesystems on the wall of the dish rack can now be done by first the storage device to the wall and then the dish tray is attached to the storage device. Alternatively, the assembly can be done by first attaching the dish rack to the storage device and then attaching the storage device to the wall. Both are easy because the dish itself does not have to be connected to the wall.

Overall, the dish tray system according to the invention is characterized by high stability, by a simple construction, a low susceptibility to dirt deposits, a simple mounting on the wall of the dish rack and by an easy handling.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, a stop surface is provided on the wall-facing end at least on one of the support surfaces, which limits a sliding of the support portion on the support surface in the direction of the wall. This can be prevented in a simple manner that the guide element of the dish rack moves so far in the direction of the wall that it is no longer supported on the guide surface, so that its function to limit the pivoting range of the dish tray against the intended pivoting direction, not more can fulfill. Alternatively, a stop surface of the same function could be provided elsewhere on the storage device or on the wall of the dish rack.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, the guide surface is formed on an end region of the bearing element pointing in the longitudinal direction of the wall, the guide element embracing the end region on the outside. In this way, there is an improved self-cleaning of the guide surface and the guide element, since they can be better achieved by rinsing liquid, as in solutions in which the guide surface is arranged in a central region of the bearing element. By embracing the end region also results in a leadership of the dish tray in the lateral direction, ie in the direction along the wall. In each case, such a guide surface is preferred at both end regions of the bearing element arranged, wherein both end portions are encompassed by a respective guide element. This results in a symmetrical arrangement which can absorb the forces occurring particularly well, wherein also acting in both lateral directions lateral guidance of the dish tray is realized.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the guide surface is visible from a direction perpendicular to a predominant part. This means that the guide surface is at most covered to a small extent by other sections of the Geschrarablagesystems. In this way, the contamination tendency of the guide surface and the guide element due to the better supply of rinsing liquid can be further reduced.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, an upper stop for the guide element is provided at an upper end of the guide surface, which limits the displaceability of the dish rack upwards. This can be prevented in a simple manner that the dish tray can be accidentally moved up beyond the intended displacement path. This in turn prevents the guide element from coming out of engagement with the guide surface, so that the dish tray can not come loose from the storage device.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a lower stop for the guide element is provided at a lower end of the guide surface, which limits the displaceability of the dish tray down. This can be prevented in a simple manner that the dish tray can be accidentally moved down beyond the intended displacement path. This in turn prevents the guide element from coming out of engagement with the guide surface, so that the dish tray can not come loose from the storage device.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the bearing element is designed so that it can be fastened on an inner side of the wall. In this way, simplifies the installation of the dish racking system on the wall of the dish rack, especially if the dish rack is already attached to the dishwasher. In addition, less space between the outside of the wall of the dish rack and adjacent elements of the dishwasher, such as a wall or a door of the washing compartment of the dishwasher, is required.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a latching device and / or a clamping device for cooperation with a vertical element of the wall of the dish rack is provided on the dish tray to fix the dish tray in at least one of the use positions. In this way it is prevented that the dish tray, for example, when loading the crockery basket with dishes, is accidentally folded up. Under a locking device is understood to mean such a device, which allows a releasable and positive connection with the horizontal element. Furthermore, a clamping device is understood as meaning a device which makes a detachable and frictional connection with the horizontal element possible. In this case, a horizontal element is understood to mean a structural element of the dishwashing basket which runs essentially horizontally. In particular, it can be a wire, for example made of metal and / or plastic.

According to an expedient development of the invention, the bearing element has at least one fastening device, in particular a latching device and / or a clamping device, for fastening the bearing element to a vertical element of the wall of the dishwashing basket. In this way, the storage device can be fixed in a simple manner in the direction along the wall and in the direction transverse to the wall on the dish rack. In this case, a vertical element is understood to be a structural element of the dishwashing basket which runs essentially vertically. In particular, it may be a wire, for example made of metal and / or plastic.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, the bearing element has at least one support element, in particular a hook-shaped support element, for resting on a horizontal element of the wall of the dishwashing basket. As a result, the storage device can be kept in a simple manner in the intended height. This results in a positive support, so that the dish rack can be loaded with heavier dishes.

According to an expedient development of the invention, a rail running along the wall and projecting over the wall is supported on the at least one bearing element for supporting dishes. As a result, an additional support of, stored on the dish tray, utensils realized. In this way, dishes, especially dishes with a high center of gravity, such as cups or glasses with a heavy bottom, are prevented from falling over the wall of the dish rack from the dish rack, especially when the dish rack is in one of its upper use positions.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, at least one support device for supporting the railing on the wall is provided on the railing. As a result, the stability of the rail can be improved, so that elastic deformation and / or permanent damage to the rail can be prevented even when loaded with heavier dishes.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the at least one bearing element and the rail are integrally formed, in particular as a one-piece injection molded part. In this way, the production of the storage device, but also their installation on the wall of the dish rack, simplified.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, the bearing device comprises at least two bearing elements on which the railing is arranged. As a result, the rail is held securely, especially when it extends over a larger area along the wall of the dish rack.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the railing, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the wall, at its ends arranged transversely to the wall supporting portions for laterally supporting dishes. In this way it can be prevented that stored on the dish tray crockery falls over the side areas in the crockery basket and is damaged.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the bearing element on Durchspülöffnungen, which are in particular formed on the guide surface and / or adjacent to the support surfaces. In this way, contaminants on the bearing element can be better rinsed off during operation of the dishwasher by means of the rinsing liquid used.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, an upper side of the dish tray is tilted when taking at least one of the use positions to the wall. This means that when taking the use position, the wall facing away from the end of the dish tray is higher than the adjacent wall of the end of the dish tray, so that the harness is inclined to the wall and can be supported by the wall and / or the storage device. In this way it can be prevented, the dishes fall over the pointing away from the wall end of the dish rack in the dish basket and thereby takes damage. In addition, the inclination of the dishes favor the drying process, as so rinse water can drain in many cases better from the dishes. This is especially true for soils of glasses or cups, which generally point upwards during the rinsing process.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the top of the dish tray is less inclined when taking the topmost use position as taking one of the underlying use positions. As a result, the dishes are upright when taking the top position, so that the dishes, especially dishes with a high center of gravity, such as cups or glasses with a heavy bottom, less likely to fall over the wall of the dish rack from the dish rack. When taking one of the lower use positions, this risk is less anyway, since in this case the wall and possibly the railing is higher relative to the harness.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the lower inclination when taking the topmost use position is effected by the fact that the guide surface in the region of the uppermost use position in the horizontal direction continues to the center of the dish rack as in the underlying use position. As a result, the pivoting range of the dish rack can be increased in a simple manner, so that the dish tray occupies a flatter position in the uppermost use position.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a holding device for holding the dish tray in an upright parking position is provided. As a result, the dish tray can be placed in a space-saving storage position and fixed there when it is not needed. This is more space for dishes available, which, for example, due to its size, is not suitable for storage on or below the dish rack.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, the holding device has at least one arranged on the dish rack hook-like element which is arranged on the dish rack and which engages from above into a holding portion of the storage device such that a displacement of the dish rack down and prevents pivoting of the dish tray is. This results in a simple design of the Geschirrablagesystems, which is also easy to handle.

In the following 7 to 14 The invention is based on the interaction of the Geschirrablage 18 with the bearing element 5a explained in more detail. The interaction of the dish rack 18 with the bearing element 5b is analogous.

In the 7 and 8th the tray system is shown in total, where 7 a side view and 8th is a sectional side view. Here is the dish rack 18 shown in a lower use position GP1.

How out 7 can be seen, lies the support section 20a when taking the lower use position GP1 on the lower support surface 16c of the bearing element 5a on. Likewise, as in 8th shown the guide element 21a at the guide surface 12a at. This is also the hidden guide element 21b at the guide surface 12b at. The guide elements surround this 21a and 21b each one in the longitudinal direction of the wall facing end portion of the bearing element 5a , By embracing the two end regions results in a lateral guidance of the dish tray 18 on both sides.

The guide surface 12a and the guide element 21a serve to the pivoting area of the dish rack 18 so limit that the dish tray 18 opposite to the intended pivoting direction VR can not be pivoted on the use position GP1, so that the dish tray 18 is fixed in the use position GPI. This means in particular that it prevents that from the wall 2 wayward end of the dish tray 18 under the gravity of the stored items, especially dishes, further lowered as intended down.

Advantageously, to the wall 2 pointing ends of the support surfaces 16a to 16c one stop surface each 17a to 17c provided, which is a sliding of the support section 20a on the respective support surface 16a to 16c towards the wall 2 limited. This can be easily prevented that the guide element 20a the dish rack 18 as far as the wall 2 that moves it to the guide surface 12a no longer supported, giving it its function, the swivel range of the dish tray 18 to limit contrary to the intended pivoting VR, can no longer meet. Alternatively, a stop surface could have the same function elsewhere on the bearing device 18 or on the wall 2 be provided the crockery basket.

It can be advantageous, if necessary, if the respective support surface in particular has a slight inclination relative to the horizontal plane. in particular, it may be inclined towards the dish basket interior. In contrast, the respective stop surface extends transversely to the associated support surface. Preferably, the respective stop surface extends from bottom to top, preferably inclined or tilted from bottom to top towards the dish basket inside towards the vertical direction. In particular, in each case, the edge of the respective support surface, which is closer to the wall of the dishwashing basket, is connected to the edge of the next support surface, which is further away from the wall, with the stop surface therebetween.

Conveniently, the top 19 the dish rack 18 when taking the use position GP1 to the wall 2 inclined. This means that when taking the use position GP1 that of the wall 2 wayward end of the dish tray 18 higher than the wall 2 adjacent end of the dish tray 18 so that the dishes are also to the wall 2 is tilted and through the wall 2 and / or the storage device 1 can be supported. In this way, the harness can be prevented from over the wall 2 wayward end of the dish tray 18 falls into the crockery basket and takes damage. In addition, the inclination of the dishes favor the drying process, as so rinse water can drain in many cases better from the dishes. This is especially true for soils of glasses or cups, which generally point upwards during the rinsing process.

In the 7 ) concealed locking device 22 is on taking the use position GP1 at the (in 7 also hidden) vertical element 4c the Wall 2 the crockery basket locked to the dish tray 18 to fix in the use position GP1. In this way it is prevented that the dish tray, for example, when loading the crockery basket with dishes, is accidentally folded up.

In the 9 and 10 is the Geschirrablagesystem shown, where 9 a side view and 10 is a sectional side view. Here is the dish rack 18 shown in a middle use position GP2.

How out 9 can be seen, lies the support section 20a when taking the middle use position GP2 on the middle support surface 16b of the bearing element 5a on. Here is the fixation of the dish rack 18 in the use position GP2 analogous to the fixation of the dish rack 18 formed in the use position GP, so that the above statements apply mutatis mutandis.

In the 11 and 12 is the Geschirrablagesystem shown, where 11 a side view and 12 is a sectional side view. Here is the dish rack 18 shown in a top use position GP3.

How out 9 can be seen, lies the support section 20a taking the topmost use position GP2 on the top support surface 16a of the bearing element 5a on. Here is the fixation of the dish rack 18 in the use position GP2 analogous to the fixation of the dish rack 18 formed in the use position GP, so that the above statements apply mutatis mutandis.

A peculiarity of the top position GP3 is, however, that the top 19 the dish rack 18 is less inclined than taking one of the underlying use positions GP1 and GP2. As a result, the ware is upright when taking the topmost use position GP3, so that the dishes, especially dishes with a high center of gravity, such as cups or glasses with a heavy bottom, less prone to over the wall 2 of the dish basket from the dish rack 18 to fall. When taking one of the lower use positions GP1 and GP2 this risk is anyway less, since in this case the wall 2 and possibly the railing 6 runs higher relative to the dishes.

Conveniently, the lower inclination when taking the uppermost use position GP3 is effected by the fact that the guide surfaces 12a -D in the area of the uppermost use position GP3 in the horizontal direction continue to the center of the dish rack than in the area of the underlying use positions GP1 and GP2. This allows the pivoting area of the dish rack 18 be easily enlarged, so that the dish tray 18 in the top position GP3 occupies a flatter position.

In 13 the Geschirrablagesystem is shown in another sectional side view. Here is the dish rack 18 shown in a shift position VP. By the dish tray 18 can be pivoted out of the use positions GP1, GP2, GP3 out in the intended pivoting direction, the support portion 20a be brought into a displacement position, in which the support portion 20a out of engagement with the support surfaces 16a -C comes, so the dish tray 18 in the height direction, in particular linear, is displaceable.

In the 13 hidden) guide surface 12b and that (in 13 also hidden) guide element 21b serve the purpose of the dish tray 18 when adjusting the position of use to guide so that the dish tray 18 not unintentionally in the direction of the interior, in particular to the middle of the dish rack from the storage device 1 can solve.

The guide surface 12b extends for this purpose in the height direction, ie up and down, at least so far that the guide element 21b over the entire height adjustment range is performed. In this way it is easily prevented that the dish tray accidentally when adjusting the position of use of the storage device 1 is solved.

A special guide, which is a detachment of the dish rack 18 would prevent in the opposite direction, is usually unnecessary, since such a detachment by the bearing elements 5a -B and / or the wall 2 the crockery basket is prevented. In such a one-sided leadership of the guide element 21b in which the guide element 21b on his wall 2 away, but not on the wall 2 facing side, results in a lower susceptibility to contamination than in solutions where the guide element 21b on the wall facing away and guided on the wall facing side. This effect is based on that so the guide surface 12b and the guide element 21b during operation of the dishwasher by the rinse water can be better achieved, resulting in improved cleaning of the arrangement.

In 14 the Geschirrablagesystem is shown in a further cut side view, with the Geschirrablage 18 is shown in a parking position AP.

Conveniently, a holding device 23a . 24 to hold the dish tray 18 provided in the upright parking position AP. This allows the dish tray 18 be brought into the space-saving storage position AP and fixed there when it is not needed. There is more space for crockery available, which, for example, due to its size, not for storage on or under the dish rack 18 suitable is.

In this case, the holding device 23a . 24 an example of the dish rack 18 arranged hook-like element 23a on, which from the top into a holding section 24 the storage device 1 so intervenes that a shifting of the dish tray 18 down and a pivoting of the dish tray 18 is prevented. This results in a simple design of the Geschirrablagesystems, which is also easy to handle.

In one embodiment of the invention, the harness tray system consists of a tray 18 for dishes and a storage device 1 , also bearing plate 1 called, which with a wall 2 the crockery basket is firmly connected. Filing 18 is height-adjustable in an unfolded position VP. When folding down the shelf 18 This fixes itself in a selectable altitude. Filing 18 can in the folded state in a parking position AP by a hook 23 at the shelf 18 be fixed.

The longitudinal edge side, pulled outward guideways 12a -D the bearing plate 18 and the additional flushing openings 13a In this embodiment, -n favor the purging of the system.

The two bearings 5a -B of the bearing plate 1 can through a railing 6 be connected, which takes over a security function for the loading. The load can be secured against falling, especially to the front and sides. This backup is useful especially in the upper position of the tray, since here the side frame wire 3a the dish basket loses its supportive function.

Through a bulge in the guideways 12a -D in the upper storage position GP3 can the storage 12 occupy a shallower angle to the horizontal in the upper position GP3, as in the middle position GP2 and in the lower position GP1. The load is thus safer in the upper position GP3. Especially tea glasses with a heavy bottom are less prone to falling over. In the lower two positions GP1 and GP2 is due to height more leadership, especially through the wall 2 the crockery basket, available for loading, ie the load tends from home less to fall over. The load is inclined in these positions GP1 and GP2, which benefits above all the drying of cup bottoms.
