Device for transporting and stacking table or kitchen utensils

The present invention relates to crockery baskets, which are suitable for stacking, transporting and washing dishes of all kinds in washing machines «

More specifically, it concerns baskets that are in automatic Washing machines are required in which the various washing processes, such as washing or rinsing, are carried out at spatially separate locations, With the help of mechanical means, such as conveyor belts, the baskets pass through the stations one after the other.

Machines of this type can automatically wash large quantities of dishes * However, they have the disadvantage that Water or other detergent solutions from one station can be injected into another »

For example, if a basket goes through the pre-wash cycle, This means that water or detergent solution is sprayed onto the basket that is already in the main wash the main wash.

In order to remedy this disadvantage, spray water deflectors and curtains have been installed in the machines that have the separate different stations from each other. However, these means are very imperfect in their effect.

The present invention of a new type of crockery basket overcomes the deficiencies described above. It also facilitates general handling and stacking of the dishes and reduces the risk of the dishes breaking during the various washing processes ₀

The invention therefore relates to a preferably redhteckigen basket with a perforated bottom. This basket is characterized in that the walls are drawn so high on two opposite sides that they can repel splashing water, provided that the baskets are placed in the machine in such a way that they Walls run across the line.

These walls of the basket according to the invention are hollow and open at the bottom, so that the corresponding walls of a similar basket fit into these openings and the Baskets can be stacked so easily.

Another peculiarity of the invention is that the Hohk-äume of the spray walls provided with edges are so that the baskets when stacking a certain

but by 90 each, they are directly on top of one another.

The bulkheads therefore have a double function »You prevent the suds from splashing over and make it possible to stack the baskets so that the Distance depends on the dishes.

Further features of the invention appear in the following description, which refers to the accompanying drawings. Show:

The present invention relates to a preferably rectangular basket 1.

• · ♦ - - I

The bottom consists of the grid 2, which is formed from intersecting struts »The bottom therefore has incisions or openings into which the mit ·· take 3 of the conveyor of the washing machine can intervene, as shown in Figure 3 «

The basket is preferably injection-molded or pressed in one piece from a suitable plastic compound.

According to the invention, there are two opposite sides 5 formed into splash walls 6. These can be made from one piece with the basket or they can be attached detachably, as shown in Figure 2 * you are then held in place by screws or other suitable means.

The different sides 5 and 8 are hollow on the inside and open at the bottom. The splash walls 6 are designed so that they can be inserted into the cavities of another basket fit in and so can be stacked in two different ways.

These walls are of course also used in accordance with the invention Splash water repellent in automatic dishwashers

For this reason, the baskets must be placed in the machine so that the side walls 5 with the water deflectors 6 run transversely to their direction of movement.

In this way, these walls form very effective water repellants, which prevent washing liquor from splashing over between the individual stations. In addition, the partitions 6 take on the tasks shown in Figure k »

As you can see, the deflectors 6 are set up so that they prevent splashing between the prewash cycle 12 and the second wash cycle 13. Corresponding Of course, this also applies to the main wash cycle and rinse cycle 14.

Under these conditions, the dishes remain free of greasy washing water during the final rinse cycles, The effectiveness of the individual washes, such as Vaschen » Rinsing or drying, this increases

In addition, there is less detergent consumption, as they no longer end up in washing cycles in which they are not needed.

In addition, the drying speed increases as no more water is sprayed into the drying aisle.

As already indicated, the partitions 6 play a further important role. Because they make that possible Stacking in two different ways of the basket according to the invention. In doing so, it is first necessary to explain why, for reasons of profitability, it is desirable to put each dish separately in the basket stacks that are used in the washing machine. Such a stacking is particularly advantageous for glasses, mugs, cutlery, bowls and deep Plates.

You simply put the baskets on top of each other. However, there are particularly frequently used dishes, such as glasses with a foot that protrudes from the side walls of the baskets so that the following

Baskets no longer stand on the walls of the lower one, but on the dishes · Understandably increased thereby the risk of breakage is considerable.

The basket according to the invention also makes this Disadvantage completely eliminated because it enables stacking in two ways: once as usual and on the other hand especially for glasses or other ||

high-quality crockery items are stacked with increased. j $ Distance between the baskets. 4)

For this purpose, 5 stops 15 ^ are in the side walls appropriate that the basket sinking too far;

prevent even with increased weight. %

The side walls 8, however, have no such stops. If you put two baskets 1a, 1b on top of each other in such a way that _{; iJ} ,

adhered to the baskets

That is, the bottom of the basket 1b is above the Side walls 8 of the basket 1a. So you can now too Stack tall crockery, such as glasses V1.

With normal dishes, such as glasses V2, you can open forego this distance. You twist that Baskets 1b and 1c by 90 as shown in Figures 6 and 7 is"

The partitions 6 on the walls 5 of the basket 1b disappear completely inside the walls 8 of the Basket 1c. This basket 1c stands on its edges 16 of basket 1b

6912 * 76

The partitions 6 are used to repel water and to stack the baskets, one after the height of the dishes. It is of course possible to make the partitions 6 removable (Fig. 2), to exchange them for others of different amounts.

Due to these properties, it is possible to adapt the baskets to the most varied of conditions of use. For this it is only necessary to change the partitions 6.
