Description

The present invention relates to a washware receptacle for receiving washware and a household dishwasher with such a washware receptacle.

Washware receptacles for receiving washware, such as plates, cups, glasses and so on, for use in household dishwashers are generally known. Washware receptacles generally have at least one row of spikes for holding the washware. This row of spikes or the individual spines of the row of spikes are attached to a bearing wire which holds the row of spikes. The aim in the design of such washware receptacles with rows of spikes is that the washware is held by the row of spikes in such a way that the washware can be cleaned effectively in one wash cycle. Various proposals are known for this.

The publication WO 2006/015932 A1 discloses a washware receptacle in which the bearing wire of the row of spikes is pivotally mounted on two opposite sides. The storage wire of the row of spikes is stored and locked by means of a storage plate attached to the washware receptacle. The row of spikes can be swiveled into different swivel positions by swiveling the bearing wire.

The publication DE 297 14 515 U1 discloses a washware receptacle in which the storage wire of the row of spikes is also arranged within the washware receptacle on a bearing plate and is pivotably mounted on two opposite sides. Using a swivel bracket, it is possible to swivel the row of spikes into different swivel positions.

The publication DE 295 05 325 U1 discloses a basket for a dishwasher, in which the bearing wire of the row of spikes is supported on two opposite sides, one arm of the bearing wire being locked in a groove parallel to a section of the bearing wire. Likewise, the row of spikes can be swiveled into different swivel positions by lifting (unlocking) and swiveling the bearing wire. In order to lock or unlock the angled arm in the groove, the row of spikes and the bearing wire are raised radially. However, lifting the row of spikes is perceived by the customer as uncomfortable.

Against this background, it is an object of the present invention to provide improved washware reception.

Accordingly, a washware receptacle for receiving washware is proposed, with a row of spikes held on a storage wire for holding the washware, which can be swiveled coaxially with the storage wire between a first and a second swivel position about a swivel axis, and a latching device which is set up for this purpose to lock an angled arm at the end of the bearing wire in at least the first pivoting position, the angled arm being arranged behind the latching device in relation to the items to be washed held by the row of sticks.

As a result of this configuration of the washware receptacle, when the row of sticks is loaded with washware in the first pivot position, the weight force acts on the washware or the bearing wire in such a way that the angled arm securely latches in the latching device. This is because the angled arm is arranged behind the locking device. The higher the weight of the loading of the rows of sticks with items to be washed, the deeper the angled arm engages in the latching device or the higher the corresponding latching force. The increased latching force has the advantage that the holding of the items to be washed within the items to be washed is made more reliable before, after or during a washing operation of items to be washed.

The items to be washed include, for example, plates, cups, pots, bowls and / or glasses.

The row of spikes is held by the bearing wire. The row of spikes is formed, for example, from a large number of individual spikes. The individual spines are preferably lined up next to one another at a certain distance from one another and thus form the row of spikes. The row of spikes and the bearing wire can be formed in one piece. In particular, the washware receptacle comprises at least two bearing wires, each with a row of spikes, in order to hold the washware.

The angled arm can be formed by bending an end portion of the bearing wire.

"Axial", "coaxial", "radial" and "in the circumferential direction in the present case refer to the main direction of extension (longitudinal axis) of the bearing wire or the pivot axis assigned to it.

According to one embodiment, the washware receptacle is characterized by two bearing points at which the bearing wire is pivotally mounted, the row of spikes being set up to be loaded with the washware between the two storage points, the two bearing points pivoting the row of spikes around the pivot axis allow and block movement of the bearing wire radially to the swivel axis.

This embodiment has the advantage that the bearing wire is securely pivoted or well guided in the bearing points. In addition, this embodiment enables the row of spikes attached to the bearing wire to pivot in the first and second pivot positions in the circumferential direction about the pivot axis without moving the bearing wire radially to the pivot axis.

A bearing point is preferably a component which is designed such that it can hold the bearing wire in a supported manner. The bearing point can also be formed from several individual components.

According to a further embodiment, the items to be washed are characterized by a bottom and side walls projecting upwards therefrom, the latching device being arranged on one of the side walls.

The latching device comprises in particular a second groove in which the angled arm engages for the purpose of latching in the second pivot position. The latching device can comprise a plurality of grooves, for example a third groove, a fourth groove, and / or still further grooves. Here, for example, by means of the locking of the angled arm in the third groove, it is possible to provide a third pivot position of the row of spikes. The same applies to the fourth groove and the fourth swivel position and / or a further combination of these. The row of spikes can thus assume further pivot positions in which the row of spikes is arranged in a position between the first and the second pivot position, depending on the position at which the respective groove is arranged in the latching device.

According to a further embodiment, the washware receptacle is characterized by a second plate, the angled arm being guided between the first and the second plate of the latching device in a plane perpendicular to the bearing wire.

The second plate of the locking device is preferably made of plastic and, for example, quarter-circular. The arrangement of the first and second plates prevents axial movement of the bearing wire together with the angled arm. The angled arm is preferably arranged at least in sections within a space between the first plate of the latching device and the second plate.

According to a further embodiment, the first plate has an opening through which the bearing wire is guided, a first bearing section delimiting the opening at least partially forming one of the bearing points.

The opening of the first plate is preferably designed such that the bearing wire and in particular the angled arm of the end of the bearing wire is guided through the opening in order to latch on the back of the first plate by means of the groove of the latching device. The opening can preferably be designed as a hole or a, in particular semicircular, open recess in the first plate. The first bearing section delimiting the opening at least partially forms one of the bearing points through which the bearing wire is securely axially pivoted. The first bearing section can also completely form one of the bearing points.

According to a further embodiment, the items to be washed are characterized by a holder which projects from the front of the first plate and has a second bearing section which, together with the first bearing section, forms one of the bearing points.

The protruding bracket preferably extends in the direction away from the front of the first plate to the row of spikes. The protruding holder is preferably at least partially made of plastic. Furthermore, the projecting holder has a fastening section and the second bearing section. The fastening section fastens the projecting holder or the second bearing section to the front of the first plate. The second bearing section has in particular a semicircular recess in which the bearing wire is held and guided. The bearing wire and its angled arm are supported by the arrangement of the first and second bearing sections.

According to a further embodiment, the first plate, the second plate and / or the holder are designed as an integral plastic component and / or the groove and / or the opening therein.

The plastic component is made in one piece or in one piece. One-piece means that at least two elements (for example the first plate, the second plate and / or the holder) are made from a single piece of material by means of primary shaping, for example casting. One-piece means that the at least two elements are manufactured as individual parts and are attached to one another in a materially, non-positively and / or positively. The individual parts can also be partially or completely made of plastic. In embodiments, the groove and the opening can be formed in a one-piece plastic component.
