The upper edges of the rails have V-shaped notches (7) lying one after the other in the longitudinal direction, for receiving the dishes, the depth of the notches corresponding to the half the height of the rails. Each frame encloses 4 parallel rails, with 2 of the rails lying adjacent one another across the centre of the frame, the remaining 2 rails lying adjacent respective side edges of the frame.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Geschirrkorb für Geschirrspülmaschinen mit einem rechteckigen Rahmen und in dem vom Rahmen umgrenzten Bereich paarweise angeordnete Geschirrhalter vorgesehen sind, wobei die Geschirrhalter aus parallel zu einer Rahmenseite (11) angeordneten, mit ihren Ebenen rechtwinkelig zur Rahmenebene stehende und sich über die innere Weite des Rahmens (1) erstreckende Leisten (4, 5) ausgebildet sind, von deren oberer Begrenzungskante (10) in Längsrichtung der Leiste (4, 5) aufeinanderfolgende, im wesentlichen V-artige Einschnitte (7) ausgehen zur Aufnahme der zu reinigenden Teller und die Achsen dieser im wesentlichen V-artigen Einschnitte (7) mit der Rahmenebene einen spitzen Winkel einschließen, wobei die obere Begrenzungskante (10) der Leiste (4, 5) etwa in der oberen Rahmenebene, gegebenenfalls etwas unterhalb der oberen Rahmenebene liegt und die untere Begrenzungskante (6) der Leiste (4, 5) in oder nahe der unteren Rahmenebene liegt.The invention relates to a crockery basket for dishwashers a rectangular frame and in pairs in the area bounded by the frame arranged crockery holder are provided, the crockery holder from arranged parallel to a frame side (11), with their planes at right angles standing to the frame level and extending over the inner width of the frame (1) Moldings (4, 5) are formed, from the upper boundary edge (10) in the longitudinal direction of the bar (4, 5) successive, essentially V-like Incisions (7) go out to accommodate the plates to be cleaned and the Axes of these essentially V-like incisions (7) with the frame level one Include an acute angle, the upper boundary edge (10) of the Bar (4, 5) approximately in the upper frame level, possibly a little below the upper frame level and the lower boundary edge (6) of the bar (4, 5) is in or near the lower frame level.

Geschirrkörbe für Geschirrspülmaschinen, insbesondere für gewerbliche Zwecke sind in großer Zahl bekannt. Beispielsweise sind solche Geschirrkörbe in den nachstehend aufgelisteten Druckschriften gezeigt und beschrieben: AT-PS 320 912; AT-PS 349 683; EU-PS 380 927; DE-OS 14 28 474; DE-OS 14 28 478; DE-OS 14 86 511; DE-OS 19 49 075; DE-OS 29 46 591; DE-PS 14 86 511; NL-PS 85 00 066; US-PS 3 245 548; US-PS 3 252 582; US-PS 3 482 387; US-PS 3 511 387; FR-PS 2 177 527; GB-PS 1 253 561; CH-PS 507 697. Allen diesen vorbekannten Geschirrkörben ist gemeinsam, daß in der unteren Ebene des in der Regel rechteckigen Rahmens ein rost- oder gitterartiger Boden vorgesehen ist. Von diesem gitterartigen bzw. rostartigen Boden erstrecken sich nach oben gerichtete Stifte oder Dorne, die mit dem Boden einstückig ausgebildet sind oder die an Einsätzen vorgesehen sind, die auf dem Boden des Geschirrkorbes aufliegen. Es ist auch bekannt, am Rahmen des Geschirrkorbes Einsätze zu befestigen, die eine gitterartige Struktur besitzen oder Leisten festzulegen, durch welche der vom Rahmen umschlossene Raum in einzelne Abschnitte unterteilt wird, die der Aufnahme und Halterung von Geschirr dienen. Bei gewerblich genutzten Geschirrkörben sind in der Regel einheitliche Aufteilungen vorgesehen, da der jeweilige Korb entweder Gläser einer bestimmten Größe oder Form, Tassen oder Teller bzw. Besteck aufzunehmen hat. Dish racks for dishwashers, in particular for commercial purposes are known in large numbers. For example, such baskets are in the shown and described below: AT-PS 320 912; AT-PS 349 683; EU PS 380 927; DE-OS 14 28 474; DE-OS 14 28 478; DE-OS 14 86 511; DE-OS 19 49 075; DE-OS 29 46 591; DE-PS 14 86 511; NL-PS 85 00 066; U.S. Patent 3,245,548; U.S. Patent 3,252,582; U.S. Patent 3,482,387; U.S. Patent 3,511 387; FR-PS 2 177 527; GB-PS 1,253,561; CH-PS 507 697. All of these previously known Dish baskets is common in the lower level of the usually rectangular frame a rust or grid-like bottom is provided. Of this lattice-like or rust-like floors extend upwards Pins or spikes that are integrally formed with the bottom or on inserts are provided, which rest on the bottom of the crockery basket. It is also known to attach inserts to the frame of the crockery basket, the one possess lattice-like structure or to define strips by which the of the Frame enclosed space is divided into individual sections, the recording and holding dishes. For commercially used crockery baskets As a rule, uniform subdivisions are provided since the respective Basket either glasses of a certain size or shape, cups or plates or cutlery.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist auch auf die DE-OS 20 50 905 hinzuweisen, die einen Geschirrkorb zeigt und beschreibt, bei welchem für das waschgerechte Einordnen der Geschirrteile verschiedene Stege des Geschirrkorbbodens angeformte Finger und Abstütznasen aufweisen, wobei die in einer Richtung verlaufenden Stege des Steggitters im Korbboden mit Metallarmierungsstäben bestückt sind. Hier ist ein erheblicher Armierungsaufwand notwendig, um den Geschirrkorb hinreichend steif und verwindungsfest zu gestalten, obgleich bei dieser vorbekannten Konstruktion ein gitterartig gestalteter Boden vorhanden ist.In this context, reference should also be made to DE-OS 20 50 905, the one Crockery basket shows and describes which one for the wash-appropriate arrangement the various parts of the crockery base formed on the crockery parts Have fingers and support lugs, the ones running in one direction The bars of the web rail in the basket base are equipped with metal reinforcing bars. A considerable amount of reinforcement is necessary here in order to adequately accommodate the crockery basket to be stiff and torsion-resistant, although with this previously known Construction a grid-like floor is available.

Geschirrkörbe dieser Art haben sich durchaus bewährt, wenngleich festgestellt werden muß, daß im gewerblichen Einsatz sehr oft Geschirr mit erheblichen Mengen von Speiseresten in die Geschirrspülmaschine gelangt und dann diese Speisereste am gitter- bzw. rostartigen Boden hängenbleiben, so daß der Geschirrkorb in der Folge gereinigt werden muß, abgesehen davon, daß die hier am gitter-oder rostartigen Boden liegenden Speisereste die großräumige und einheitliche Verteilung des Spülwassers behindern und dadurch das Geschirr selbst nicht ausreichend gereinigt werden kann. Darüber hinaus werden in der Gastronomie immer größere Teller eingesetzt, so daß in die Geschirrkörbe der hier verwendeten einheitlichen Normgrößen immer weniger Teller untergebracht werden können.Baskets of this type have proven themselves, although they have been found must be that in commercial use very often dishes with considerable quantities of leftovers in the dishwasher and then these leftovers get stuck on the grid or rust-like bottom, so that the basket in the consequence must be cleaned, apart from the fact that the here on the grid or rust-like floor lying food scraps the spacious and uniform distribution of the rinsing water and therefore the dishes themselves are not sufficient can be cleaned. In addition, the catering industry is growing Plates used so that the baskets of the uniform used here Standard sizes fewer and fewer plates can be accommodated.

Der Vollständigkeit halber seien noch die DE-OS 35 34 897 und die US-PS 3 433 363 erwähnt. Die erste Vorveröffentlichung zeigt und beschreibt einen Instrumentenkorb, der aus einem einstückigen Flachblechzuschnitt gefertigt ist. In diesen Korb ist ein Instrumententräger einsetzbar, der aus zwei über Haltegriffe miteinander verbundenen Haltekämmen besteht, in welche stabartige Instrumente liegend eingelegt werden. Es handelt sich hier um medizinische bzw. zahnmedizinische Instrumente, für welche das vorstehend aufgezeigte Problem nicht relevant ist, so daß hier keine Veranlassung besteht, den gitterartig ausgestalteten Boden des Instrumentenkorbes anders als gezeigt zu gestalten. Die zweitgenannte Druckschrift zeigt ein Tellergestell, das kein Geschirrkorb im herkömmlichen Sinne ist. Hier sind mehrere Haltekämme über bodenseitig vorgesehene stabartige Glieder miteinander verbunden. Eine solche Einrichtung ist nicht hinreichend stabil auszubilden, um sie mit maschinellen Einrichtungen handhaben zu können, wenn bedacht wird, daß ein herkömmlicher und mit Tellern gefüllter Geschirrkorb einige Kilogramm Gewicht auf die Waage bringt. Dieses Gewichtsproblem ist auch in der oben genannten DE-OS 20 50 905 angesprochen, in der eine aufwendige Konstruktion mit Armierungseinlagen aus Metall vorgeschlagen wird, um eine hinreichende Verwindungsfestigkeit und Stabilität zu erreichen. For the sake of completeness, DE-OS 35 34 897 and the US PS 3 433 363 mentioned. The first pre-publication shows and describes an instrument basket, which is made from a one-piece flat sheet blank. In these Basket, an instrument holder can be used, which consists of two handles with each other connected holding combs, in which rod-like instruments lie be inserted. It is medical or dental Instruments for which the problem shown above is not relevant is, so that there is no reason here, the grid-like floor the instrument basket differently than shown. The second-mentioned publication shows a plate rack that is not a crockery basket in the conventional sense. Here are several holding combs on rod-like links provided on the bottom connected with each other. Such a facility cannot be designed to be sufficiently stable, in order to be able to handle them with mechanical devices, if carefully considered is that a conventional dish basket filled with plates some Weighs kilograms. This weight problem is also in the above-mentioned DE-OS 20 50 905 addressed in which an expensive Construction with metal reinforcement is proposed to a to achieve sufficient torsional strength and stability.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Geschirrkorb für Geschirrspülmaschinen, insbesondere einen Geschirrkorb für die Aufnahme von Tellern so zu gestalten, daß die aufgezeigten Nachteile möglichst vermieden werden, wobei ein möglichst stabiler Geschirrkorb zu schaffen ist, der ohne metallische Einlagen eine hinreichende Stabilität und Verwindungsfestigkeit aufweist und der eine möglichst große Zahl von großflächigen Tellern aufzunehmen imstande ist und der trotzdem sozusagen bodenlos ausgebildet sein kann, damit einerseits die großräumige und einheitliche Verteilung des Spülwassers nicht behindert wird und andererseits dem Abfluß und der Beseitigung von eingebrachten Speiseresten kein Hindernis im Wege steht, was erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelingt, daß die Tiefe der im wesentlichen V-artigen Einschnitte etwa der halben Höhe der Leisten entspricht und pro Rahmen vier parallel zueinander angeordnete Leisten vorgesehen sind (Fig. 3), wobei zwei voneinander distanzierte Leisten im Mittelbereich des Rahmens angeordnet sind und je eine Leiste im jeweils randseitigen Bereich des Rahmens angeordnet ist. Dank des erfindungsgemäßen Vorschlages ist es möglich, einen sozusagen bodenlosen Rahmen durch die erwähnten Leisten hinreichend zu versteifen, so daß er ohne sich zu verwinden die doch erhebliche Last des Geschirrs aufnehmen kann, wobei diese Leisten gleichzeitig zur Aufnahme von Tellern ausgebildet sind. Trotzdem kann der gefüllte und beladene Geschirrkorb maschinell gehandhabt werden.Based on this prior art, it is an object of the invention to Dish rack for dishwashers, especially a dish rack for the To accommodate plates so that the disadvantages shown are as possible can be avoided, with the most stable crockery basket possible Sufficient stability and torsional strength without metallic inserts and which can accommodate as large a number of large plates as possible is capable and which can still be bottomless, so to speak, on the one hand, the large-scale and uniform distribution of the rinsing water is not hindered and on the other hand the drainage and disposal of brought in Food waste is no obstacle in the way, which according to the invention succeeds in that the depth of the substantially V-like incisions approximately the corresponds to half the height of the strips and four parallel to each frame Strips are provided (Fig. 3), two spaced apart Strips are arranged in the central area of the frame and one bar in each edge region of the frame is arranged. Thanks to the invention Proposal, it is possible to create a bottomless frame through the enough to stiffen the lasts mentioned so that he can twist the but can take significant load of dishes, while these strips at the same time are designed to accommodate plates. Nevertheless, the filled and loaded crockery basket are handled mechanically.

Um die Erfindung zu veranschaulichen, wird anhand der Zeichnung ein Ausführungsbeispiel näher beschrieben, ohne dadurch die Erfindung einzuschränken. Es zeigen:
Die Fig. 1 und 2 einen Geschirrkorb in Seitensicht und in Ansicht; Fig. 3 ist eine Draufsicht auf den Geschirrkorb nach den Fig. 1 und 2; Fig. 4 ein Querschnitt nach der Schnittlinie IV - IV in Fig. 3 und Fig. 5 ein Querschnitt nach der Schnittlinie V - V in Fig. 3.To illustrate the invention, an embodiment is described in more detail with reference to the drawing, without thereby restricting the invention. Show it:
Figures 1 and 2 a crockery basket in side view and in view. Fig. 3 is a top view of the crockery basket of Figs. 1 and 2; 4 shows a cross section along the section line IV-IV in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 shows a cross section along the section line V-V in FIG. 3.

Der Geschirrkorb 1 zeigt in Draufsicht eine Rechteckform und der einstückige Rahmen 2 ist mit zahlreichen Durchbrechungen 3 ausgestattet. Dieser Rahmen 2 ist aus Kunststoff gefertigt. In diesem Rahmen bzw. an diesem Rahmen sind nun im wesentlichen ebene Leisten 4 und 5 angeordnet, die zweckmäßigerweise mit dem Rahmen 2 einstückig ausgebildet sind, deren Ebenen rechtwinkelig zur Ebene des Rahmens stehen und die sich über die innere Weite des Rahmens 2 erstrecken und die zueinander und zu einer Rahmenseite 11 parallel liegend angeordnet sind. Die Höhe H dieser Leisten 4 und 5 entspricht etwa der Höhe des Rahmens 2, wobei die untere Begrenzungskante 6 der Leisten 4, 5 gerade verläuft und in oder nahe der unteren Rahmenebene liegt (Fig. 4 und Fig. 5).The crockery basket 1 shows a rectangular shape in plan view and the one-piece Frame 2 is equipped with numerous openings 3. This frame 2 is made of plastic. In this framework or on this framework are now arranged essentially flat strips 4 and 5, which suitably with the frame 2 are integrally formed, the levels of which are perpendicular to the level stand of the frame and which extend over the inner width of the frame 2 and which are arranged parallel to one another and to a frame side 11. The height H of these strips 4 and 5 corresponds approximately to the height of the frame 2, wherein the lower boundary edge 6 of the strips 4, 5 runs straight and in or near the lower frame level (Fig. 4 and Fig. 5).

Von der oberen Begrenzungskante 10 dieser Leisten 4, 5 gehen - in Längsrichtung der Leisten 4, 5 aufeinanderfolgend - im wesentlichen V-artige Einschnitte 7 aus. Die Achsen dieser im wesentlichen V-artigen Einschnitte 7 schließen mit der Rahmenebene einen spitzen Winkel ein, wobei die Tiefe T dieser Einschnitte etwa der halben Höhe H der Leisten 4 bzw. 5 entspricht. Die eine Kante 8 des im wesentlichen V-artigen Einschnittes 7 besitzt einen konkaven Verlauf, wogegen die andere Kante 9 von der oberen Begrenzungskante 10 der Leiste 4, 5 aus über etwa 2/3 ihrer Länge annähernd vertikal verläuft und anschließend in einen zum konkaven Verlauf der ersterwähnten Kante 8 im wesentlichen gleichgerichteten Verlauf übergeht (Fig. 4). Wenn hier und im folgenden von der oberen Kante der Leisten 4 und 5 gesprochen wird, so sei vermerkt, daß es sich hier um eine ideelle Kante handelt, nämlich um jene gedachte Kante oder Linie, die die obersten Punkte der V-artigen Einschnitte 7 beinhaltet, denn durch diese V-artigen Einschnitte besitzen diese Leisten 4 und 5 ja keine durchlaufende gerade Begrenzungskante. Diese obere und gedachte Begrenzungskante 10 der Leisten 4,5 liegt etwa in der oberen Rahmenebene, gegebenenfalls etwas unterhalb derselben, was aus den Fig. 4 und 5 deutlich erkennbar ist. Die Wandstärke dieser Leisten 4 und 5 beträgt einige Millimeter. Pro Rahmen 2 sind vier parallel zueinander angeordnete Leisten 4, 5 vorgesehen und je zwei voneinander distanzierte Leisten 4, 5 sind im Mittelbereich des Rahmens 2 angeordnet und je eine Leiste 4, 5 im randseitigen Bereich (Fig. 3). Die randseitig angeordneten Leisten 4 und 5 sind mit der jeweils benachbarten parallel liegenden Rahmenseite 11 durch nahe der unteren Rahmenebene liegende Querstege 12 verbunden. Diese Querstege 12 weisen nur einen Bruchteil der Höhe H der Leisten 4,5 auf. Die im Mittelbereich des Rahmens 2 angeordneten und voneinander distanzierten Leisten 4, 5 sind ebenfalls durch nahe der unteren Rahmenebene liegende Querstege 13 miteinander verbunden und auch hier beträgt die Höhe dieser Querstege 13 nur einen Bruchteil der Höhe H der Leisten 4, 5. Wie Fig. 5 veranschaulicht, sind die beiden Leistenpaare 4; 5 in Längsrichtung der Leisten 4, 5 gesehen gegeneinander versetzt, und zwar um annähernd die halbe Teilung t der durch die V-artigen Einschnitte 7 gebildeten Zahnung. Der Abstand A bzw. B zweier ein Paar bildender Leisten 4; 5 ist größer als der gegenseitige Abstand C der im Mittelbereich des Rahmens 2 vorgesehenen, unterschiedlichen Paaren zugehörenden Leisten 4, 5. Go from the upper boundary edge 10 of these strips 4, 5 - in the longitudinal direction the strips 4, 5 in succession - essentially V-like incisions 7. The axes of these essentially V-like incisions 7 close with the Frame level an acute angle, the depth T of these cuts approximately corresponds to half the height H of the strips 4 and 5. One edge 8 of the essentially V-like incision 7 has a concave course, whereas the other edge 9 from the upper boundary edge 10 of the strip 4, 5 from about 2/3 of its length runs approximately vertically and then into a concave one Course of the first-mentioned edge 8 is essentially the same direction passes (Fig. 4). If here and below from the top edge of the strips 4 and 5 is spoken, it should be noted that this is an ideal edge , namely the imaginary edge or line that marks the topmost points of the V-type incisions 7 includes, because of these V-type incisions these strips 4 and 5 do not have a continuous straight boundary edge. This the upper and imaginary boundary edge 10 of the strips 4.5 is approximately in the upper Frame level, possibly a little below it, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is clearly recognizable. The wall thickness of these strips 4 and 5 is a few millimeters. Four frames 4, 5 arranged parallel to each other are provided per frame 2 and two spaced strips 4, 5 are in the central region The frame 2 is arranged and a bar 4, 5 in the edge area (Fig. 3). The edges 4 and 5 arranged on the edge are adjacent to each other parallel frame side 11 by lying near the lower frame level Crosspieces 12 connected. These crossbars 12 are only a fraction of the height H of bars 4,5 on. The arranged in the central region of the frame 2 and spaced strips 4, 5 are also close to the lower frame level horizontal crosspieces 13 connected to each other and here is the Height of these crosspieces 13 is only a fraction of the height H of the strips 4, 5. How Fig. 5 illustrates, the two pairs of strips 4; 5 in the longitudinal direction of the Last 4, 5 seen offset against each other, by approximately half Division t of the toothing formed by the V-shaped incisions 7. The distance A and B two strips 4 forming a pair; 5 is larger than the other Distance C of the different provided in the central region of the frame 2 Pair of bars 4, 5.

Zweckmäßigerweise sind die Leisten 4, 5 stirnseitig mit dem Rahmen 2 verbunden und Leisten, Rahmen und Querstege sind einstückig aus Kunststoff gefertigt.The strips 4, 5 are expediently connected to the frame 2 at the end and strips, frames and crossbars are made in one piece from plastic.

Aus der vorstehenden Beschreibung und den Zeichnungen ist ersichtlich, daß der Rahmen 2 praktisch bodenlos gestaltet ist, so daß die Sprühstrahlen der Geschirrspülmaschine die Teller unbehindert erreichen können. Grobe Speisereste fallen durch den Rahmen 2 durch. Die Querstege 12 und 13 dienen als Mitnehmer für die Transportketten, mit welchen diese Geschirrkörbe in und durch die Geschirrspülmaschine transportiert werden. Dank der vorstehend beschriebenen Ausgestaltung der im wesentlichen V-förmigen Einschnitte 7 nehmen die Teller, unabhängig davon, ob es sich um flache oder um tiefe Teller handelt, stets ihre richte, spülgerechte Lage innerhalb des Korbes ein, auch wenn sie vom Personal nicht hinreichend sorgfältig eingesetzt werden. Die die Einschnitte 7 begrenzenden Kanten 8 und 9 bzw. deren Verlauf leiten die Teller jeweils in ihre richtige Lage. Durch den im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 5 veranschaulichten Versatz der Leistenpaare 4; 5 mit den Einschnitten 7, und zwar um annähernd die halbe Teilung t liegen die Teller beider Reihen gegeneinander versetzt, wobei sich Teller mit großem Durchmesser gegenseitig überdecken können, ohne sich zu berühren und ohne den Spüleffekt zu beeinträchtigen.From the above description and the drawings it can be seen that the Frame 2 is designed practically bottomless, so that the spray jets of the dishwasher can reach the plates unhindered. Rough leftovers fall through the frame 2 through. The crosspieces 12 and 13 serve as drivers for the transport chains with which these crockery baskets in and through the dishwasher be transported. Thanks to the design described above the substantially V-shaped incisions 7 take the plates independently whether they are flat or deep plates, always flushable position inside the basket, even if it is not by the staff be used with sufficient care. Which limit the incisions 7 Edges 8 and 9 and their course guide the plates into their correct position. By the offset of the strip pairs illustrated in connection with FIG. 5 4; 5 with the incisions 7, namely by approximately half the division t the plates of both rows are offset from each other, whereby plates with large Diameter can cover each other without touching and without the Affect the rinsing effect.

Der Krümmungsradius der konkav verlaufenden Kante 8 des Einschnittes 7 beträgt annähernd 70 mm, wobei diese konkav verlaufende Kante 8 sich über einen Winkelbereich von annähernd 60° erstreckt. Der Krümmungsmittelpunkt liegt dabei um ein geringes Maß oberhalb der oberen Rahmenebene 14. Für die Teilung t ist ein Maß von annähernd 50 mm als zweckmäßig anzusehen. Dies bei einem Ausmaß des Geschirrkorbes von annähernd 500 x 500 mm.The radius of curvature of the concave edge 8 of the incision 7 is approximately 70 mm, this concave edge 8 over a Angular range of approximately 60 ° extends. The center of curvature lies here by a small amount above the upper frame level 14. For the division t a dimension of approximately 50 mm is to be regarded as expedient. This with one Dimensions of the crockery basket of approximately 500 x 500 mm.
