Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a pull-out dish-rack basket intended for use in a household-type dishwashing machine.
  • Dish-rack baskets used in household dishwashing machines are generally known to be usually made out of a framework of plastic-coated metal rod-iron. They are further mounted in the dishwashing tank of the machine through the use of sliding guide means that enable them to be pulled out in a horizontal direction in view of allowing for convenient loading and unloading of the dishes.
  • An example of such a pull-out basket is described in GB-A-2 282 319.
  • the handle is shaped ergonomically either through the application of a special coating of overmoulded rubber, or the like, or through the use of properly shaped plastic parts that are assembled together, by snap-fitting methods or by means of screws, so as to be then linked to the basket frame.
  • a special coating of overmoulded rubber, or the like or through the use of properly shaped plastic parts that are assembled together, by snap-fitting methods or by means of screws, so as to be then linked to the basket frame.
  • GB-A-2 250 912 discloses a pull-out dish holding basket for a dishwasher, the basket comprising a front wall having an upstanding portion serring as a handle means.
  • dish-rack baskets intended for use in modern dishwashing machines of the afore cited kind.
  • the general structure of the basket shall feature a design that is as much standardized as possible in view of limiting the production costs thereof in connection with large-scale industrial manufacturing considerations.
  • the above mentioned handle must be shaped and/or coloured in various manners, according to the different dishwashing machine models being produced, in view of complying with the corresponding different designs and aesthetical requirements.
  • the pull-out basket for dishwashing machine can be noticed to mainly comprise a frame 4 which is for instance made of a plastic-coated metal wire and has a substantially traditional, per sè known general structure.
  • said frame can be noticed to have a front wall 5 provided with a handle 6, which is ergonomically shaped so as to allow for convenient gripping, in view of enabling the user to cause the basket to slide along the guide means (not shown for reasons of greater simplicity) that are associated to the washing tank or vessel of a dishwashing machine.
  • Said handle 6 has an elastic structure made of an appropriate plastic material, and is substantially in the shape of a U turned upside down with two opposite arms 10 which, at a certain distance from the free end thereof, are provided with respective horizontal holes 11. In a preferred manner, in correspondence of said holes 11 said arms 10 are strengthened through respective enlargements 12.
  • the front wall of the basket is substantially rectilinear and it preferably comprises centrally a cross-piece 7 having two opposite free ends 8 that are capable of freely fitting into the holes 11 of the handle, for which they therefore constitute respective fulcra.
  • Said fulcra 8 are substantially parallel to the front surface 5 of the frame and are positioned in correspondence of at least a recess 9 (two of such recesses are shown in the Figures) extending from the top along the same front surface.
  • the front wall 5 comprises first and second resting means that may for instance be constituted by respective cross-pieces 13, 14 arranged above and below said fulcra 8, respectively, with respect to which they are preferably staggered in a longitudinal direction.
  • the handle 6 can be easily and quickly mounted on to the basket by elastically widening the arms 10 and fitting them from above into the recess 9 so as to bring the holes 11 into alignment with the fulcra 8. Upon releasing said arms 10, the handle 6 will then elastically resume its regular shape, while the fulcra 8 fit into the holes 11 of the handle. Furthermore, at least one of the arms 10 is so arranged as to be able to strike against said resting means 13, 14, so that the same handle is normally locked in a position which is integral with the basket, ie. forms a single piece therewith.
  • the resting means 13, 14 are such as to in fact prevent the handle from rotating in any manner about its fulcra 8, while the same handle is resting substantially flush with the front surface 5 of the basket.
  • the handle 6 can be elastically deformed so as to release it from the fulcra 8, and therefore to remove it, in a direction that is parallel to the virtual plane passing across the resting means 13, 14, in view of being possibly replaced.
  • the frame 4 can be made to comprise a siimple standard structure that is adapted to be easily completed through the addition, in the above described manner, of a handle 6 which may be made separately with different and equivalent shapes and/or colours suiting the various dishwashing machine models being produced.
