Abstract

The basket is made up of longitudinal, transverse and support struts which form stacking rails for plates, cups and glasses at different levels in the basket. At least in the region (6) of the stacking surfaces for glasses, the struts (2) are combined with flexible draining aids (7) wound around them, which are compressed by the stacked articles to be washed.

Description

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung betrifft einen Geschirrkorb für eine Geschirrspülmaschine, dessen Korbgestell aus gitterförmig angeordneten Längs-, Quer- und Stützstreben gebildet ist, welche Ablagespuren für unterschiedliches Spülgut, wie Teller, Tassen und Gläser ggf. in unterschiedlichen Korbebenen ausbilden, wobei Korbstreben als An- und Auflageflächen für das Spülgut dienen.The object of the invention relates to a crockery basket for a dishwasher, the Basket frame is formed from longitudinal, cross and support struts arranged in a grid, which Storage tracks for different wash items, such as plates, cups and glasses, possibly in different ones Form basket levels, using basket struts as contact and support surfaces for the Serve dishes.

Bei einem bekannten Geschirrkorb dieser Art, insbesondere bei einem Oberkorb einer Geschirrspülmaschine werden die Gläser, Tassen und Teller jeweils in Ablagespuren des Korbgestells sortiert eingestellt, wobei für die Gläser und Tassen Ablagen ggf. in unterschiedlichen Korbebenen eingerichtet sind. Das Spülgut stützt sich dabei unten und seitlich an den Korbstreben ab, die so als An- und Ablageflächen für das Geschirr dienen. Die Abstellflächen für die Gläser und Tassen sind zur Wassertropfenableitung in aller Regel schräg verlaufend ausgebildet. Die Schrägstellung der Korbstreben und die Berührungen oder Kontakte der Gläser sowie Tassen mit den Streben unterstützt eine schnelle Ableitung der Spülflüssigkeit und hält eine Wassertropfenansammlung am Spülgut gering. Bei der Vielfalt der Gläser oder Tassen reichen derartige Maßnahmen jedoch nicht aus, um eine Resttropfenbildung gänzlich zu verhindern. Es ist nicht immer gewährleistet, daß der Kontakt einer Korbstrebe mit dem Rand des Glases oder der Tasse optimal erfolgt. So kann sich beispielsweise zwischen einer Korbstrebe und dem Glasrand aufgrund vom Glastoleranzen oder verschieden hohen Streben eine Lücke ergeben, zwischen welcher sich ein Tropfen ausbilden kann. Auch ist nicht immer sichergestellt, daß der Glasrand an seiner tiefsten Stelle von einer Korbstrebe berührt wird, so daß auch so ein Resttropfen am Spülgut hängen bleiben kann. Ein sich am Glasrand absetzender langgezogener Tropfen trocknet beim späteren Geschirrtrocknen in der Spülmaschine an, wobei die Inhaltstoffe der Spülflüssigkeit als sog. Abdampfrückstand sichtbar als unerwünschte Flecken zurückbleiben.In a known crockery basket of this type, in particular in an upper basket of a dishwasher the glasses, cups and plates are each in the storage tracks of the basket frame sorted sorted, with shelves for the glasses and cups possibly in different Basket levels are set up. The items to be washed are supported on the bottom and sides of the basket struts from, which serve as storage and storage areas for the dishes. The shelves for the Glasses and cups are usually designed to drain water droplets. The inclination of the basket struts and the touches or contacts of the glasses as well Cups with the struts support a quick drainage of the washing liquid and hold one Low water droplet accumulation on the wash ware. With the variety of glasses or cups are enough such measures, however, are not sufficient to completely prevent the formation of residual drops. It is not always guaranteed that the contact of a basket strut with the edge of the glass or the cup is done optimally. For example, between a basket strut and the Glass edge result in a gap due to glass tolerances or struts of different heights, between which a drop can form. It is not always ensured that the Glass rim is touched at its lowest point by a basket strut, so that even a residual drop can get caught on the wash ware. A long drawn out on the edge of the glass Drop dries in the dishwasher when drying the dishes later, whereby the ingredients the rinsing liquid as so-called evaporation residue remain visibly as undesirable stains.

Ausgehend von einem Geschirrkorb der eingangs genannten Art liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Resttropfenbildung am Spülgut, insbesondere an Gläsern oder dergl. Spülguthohlkörpern mit einfachen Mitteln wirksam zu verhindern.Starting from a crockery basket of the type mentioned, the object of the invention is based on the formation of residual droplets on the items to be washed, in particular on glasses or the like to prevent effectively with simple means.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features specified in claim 1 solved.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention result from the following Subclaims.

Durch die Anordnung von elastischen und/oder vom Spülgut niederdrückbaren Abtropfhilfen in Kombination mit den Korbstreben im Bereich der Stellflächen der Spülguthohlkörper, insbesondere der Gläser, werden zuverlässig sichere Kontaktpunkte mit den Glasrändern hergestellt, und dies unabhängig von der Oeffnung oder der Kelchweite des Glases. Die Kontaktpunkte stellen sich zusätzlich zu den Kontaktpunkten des Glases mit den freien Korbstreben ein, so daß die Wassertropfen rundum am Glasrand abgeleitet werden können.By arranging elastic and / or draining aids that can be pressed down by the wash ware Combination with the basket struts in the area of the shelves of the items to be washed, in particular of the glasses, reliable contact points are made with the glass edges, regardless of the opening or the goblet size of the glass. The contact points in addition to the contact points of the glass with the free basket struts, so that the water drops can be drained all around at the edge of the glass.

Ein in Fig. 1 ausschnittsweise gezeigter Geschirrkorb (1) einer programmgesteuerten Geschirrspülmaschine (nicht dargestellt), insbesondere ein Oberkorb für kleine Teller sowie für Tassen und Gläser weist ein Korbgestell auf, das aus gitterförmig angeordneten Längs-, Quer- und Stützstreben (Korbstreben 2) gebildet ist. Das zu reinigende und ebenfalls in der Spülmaschine zu trocknende Geschirr wird im Korb sortiert auf separaten von den Korbstreben (2) gebildeten Ablagespuren (3) abgestellt. Die Ablagespuren (3) können ggf. in unterschiedlichen Korbebenen vorgesehen werden. So könnten zu spülende Tassen bspw. auf seitlich am Korbgestell ab- oder hochschwenkbaren Stellflächen abgestellt werden. Die aus den Korbstreben (2) gebildeten An- und Ablageflächen für die Gläser (4) sind, wie auch die Tassenablagen, zur Unterstützung der Wassertropfenableitung von den Glasrändern (5) leicht geneigt ausgebildet. Die leichte Schrägstellung der Gläser (4), sh. Fig. 2 und 3, bewirkt, daß die Spülflüssigkeit möglichst zum tiefsten Punkt des Glasrandes (5) hin abläuft.A crockery basket (1) of a program-controlled dishwasher shown in detail in FIG. 1 (not shown), especially an upper basket for small plates and cups and glasses has a basket frame, which consists of lattice arranged longitudinal, transverse and Support struts (basket struts 2) is formed. The one to be cleaned and also in the dishwasher Dishes to be dried are sorted in the basket on separate baskets (2) Storage traces (3) parked. The storage tracks (3) can possibly be in different basket levels be provided. For example, cups to be rinsed could be removed from the side of the basket frame swiveling shelves can be parked. The formed from the basket struts (2) Storage and storage areas for the glasses (4), like the cup racks, are for support the water drop drainage from the glass edges (5) is slightly inclined. The easy Tilting of the glasses (4), sh. 2 and 3, causes the rinsing liquid as possible runs to the lowest point of the glass rim (5).

Der im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 gezeigte Geschirrkorb (1) zeigt drei Ablagespuren (3) für Gläser (4) in einer Korbebene. Schwenkbare Ablagen sind der besseren Übersicht halber fortgelassen worden. Die Gläser (4) können im Korb (1) z. B. in drei nebeneinander liegenden Spuren abgestellt werden. Dabei dienen die Korbstreben (2) als An- und Auflageflächen für die Gläser, die mit ihren Öffnungen nach unten im Geschirrkorb (1) einzustellen sind.The crockery basket (1) shown in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1 shows three storage tracks (3) for glasses (4) in one basket level. Swiveling shelves are for the sake of clarity been left out. The glasses (4) in the basket (1) z. B. in three side by side Traces are parked. The basket struts (2) serve as contact and support surfaces for the Glasses to be set with their openings facing downwards in the crockery basket (1).

Um unerwünschte Abdampfrückstände und Flecken am Glaskörper zu vermeiden, welche hängengebliebene Wassertropfen beim Geschirrtrocknen verursachen können, sind die Ablagespuren (3) im Geschirrkorb (1) zumindest im Bereich (6) (Fig. 2) der Anlage- oder Auflageflächen der Gläser wenigstens teilweise mit elastischen Abtropfhilfen (7) kombiniert. Gegen diese Abtropfhilfen (7) stützt sich der Rand des Glases, der Tasse oder dergl. zusätzlich ab. Auch die seitlichen Korbstreben (2) des Korbgestells, gegen die das Spülgut außen anliegt, können mit Abtropfhilfen (7) kombiniert werden. Insbesondere werden durch die mehrfache Berührung der Spülgutöffnungen mit den Abtropfhilfen (7) die Spülwassertropfen abgeleitet bzw. gehindert, sich z. B. am Rand (5) eines Glases (4) festzusetzen. Die Wassertropfen werden von den Glasrändern abgesogen und laufen über die Abtropfhilfen und über die Korbstreben ab.In order to avoid undesired evaporation residues and stains on the vitreous, which are stuck Filing marks can cause water drops when drying dishes (3) in the crockery basket (1) at least in the area (6) (Fig. 2) of the contact or support surfaces of the glasses at least partially combined with elastic draining aids (7). Against these draining aids (7) the edge of the glass, the cup or the like is additionally supported. Also the Lateral basket struts (2) on the rack, against which the items to be washed lie on the outside, can also be used Draining aids (7) can be combined. In particular, the multiple touch of the Washware openings with the drip aids (7) drain or prevent the drops of wash water, z. B. at the edge (5) of a glass (4). The water drops are from the glass edges sucked off and run over the draining aids and over the basket struts.

Die elastischen Abtropfhilfen (7) bzw. deren Auflageflächen (7a), Fig. 2, sind erfindungsgemäß so vorgesehen, daß sie im Ruheniveau, d. h. wenn keine Gläser auf ihnen abgestellt sind, gegenüber den zugeordneten Korbstreben (2) geringfügig höher liegen. Bei aufliegendem Spülgut (Glas 4) drücken sie sich jedoch bis auf das Niveau der Korbstreben (2) nieder bzw. ein. Somit behält der Glasrand (5) Kontakt mit den freien Korbstreben (2) und stellt zusätzlich einen Kontakt mit den Abtropfhilfen (7) zwischen den Korbstreben (2) her.The elastic draining aids (7) or their contact surfaces (7a), FIG. 2, are according to the invention provided so that they are at rest level, d. H. if there are no glasses on them the assigned basket struts (2) are slightly higher. With washware on top (Glass 4), however, they push themselves down to the level of the basket struts (2). Consequently the glass rim (5) maintains contact with the free basket struts (2) and also provides a contact with the draining aids (7) between the basket struts (2).

Die Abtropfhilfen (7) sind mit den Korbstreben (2) verbunden und vorzugsweise durch elastische Bewicklungen auf und zwischen den Korbstreben (2) ausgeführt. Eine Abtropfhilfe (7) kann durch band- oder fadenförmig ausgebildete Gummi- oder Kunststoffwickel realisiert werden, wobei gemäß Fig. 1 vorzugsweise mehrere Korbstreben (2) einer Ablagespur (3) meanderförmig umwickelt sind. Dadurch werden die Räume zwischen den Korbstreben (2) überbrückt, wobei die zusätzlichen Berührungs- oder Kontaktflächen (8) für das Spülgut entstehen. Die größere Anzahl der Berührungspunkte um die Glasöffnung herum verhindert zuverlässig eine Tropfenansammlung und somit Abdampfrückstände am Glas (4) nach dem Geschirrtrocknen. Insbesondere wird der Glasrand (5) immer an seiner tiefsten Stelle berührt. Diese Stelle ist die eigentliche Problemzone bei leicht geneigt abgestellten Spülguthohlkörpern. Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung und Ausbildung der Abtropfhilfen (7) verhindert aufgrund der vielen Berührungspunkte mit dem Spülgut aber auch, daß sich bei waagerecht abgestellten Gläsern ein Tropfen am Glasrand ausbilden kann.The draining aids (7) are connected to the basket struts (2) and preferably by elastic ones Wraps on and between the basket struts (2). A draining aid (7) can be realized by rubber or plastic wraps in the form of a band or thread, 1 preferably a plurality of basket struts (2) of a storage track (3) meandering are wrapped. This bridges the spaces between the basket struts (2), the additional contact or contact surfaces (8) for the wash ware. The larger number of points of contact around the glass opening reliably prevents a drop of droplets and thus evaporation residues on the glass (4) after drying the dishes. In particular, the glass rim (5) is always touched at its lowest point. This place is the real problem area with slightly inclined washware. The invention The arrangement and design of the drip aids (7) prevents due to the many points of contact with the wash ware but also that with horizontally placed glasses Can form drops on the edge of the glass.

Es besteht ferner die Möglichkeit, eine Ausbildung der Abtropfhilfen (7) in Form von Wippen oder dergl. herzustellen, wie dies durch Fig. 3 näher verdeutlicht ist. Wird ein Glas (4) im Geschirrkorb (1) abgestellt, so wird das hochgeschwenkte eine Hebelende (9) der an einer Korbstrebe (2) befestigten Wippe vom Spülgut (hier Glas 4) niedergedrückt und berührt dabei den Glasrand (5) an der Problemstelle. Ein anhängender Spülwassertropfen kann sofort abgeleitet werden, bzw. bildet sich nicht erst. Wird das Glas später aus dem Korb genommen, so schwenkt das Hebelende (9) in die gestrichelte Ausgangsposition zurück. Dies kann dadurch erreicht werden, wenn der rechte Hebelarm ggf. durch ein angebrachtes Gewicht oder durch einen verlängerten Hebelarm schwerer ausgebildet ist als das linke Hebelende (9). Mehrere solcher Wippen könnten dabei einer Ablagespur (3) zugeordnet sein.There is also the possibility of training the draining aids (7) in the form of rockers or the like. To produce, as is illustrated by Fig. 3 in more detail. Will a glass (4) in the crockery basket (1) turned off, so the swung up is a lever end (9) of a basket strut (2) the attached rocker is pressed down by the wash ware (here glass 4) and touches the Glass edge (5) at the problem point. An attached drop of rinse water can be drained off immediately or does not form. If the glass is later removed from the basket, so swivels the lever end (9) back to the dashed starting position. This can be done can be achieved if the right lever arm, if necessary, by an attached weight or by an extended lever arm is heavier than the left end of the lever (9). Several such rockers could be assigned to a storage track (3).

Auch ist es denkbar, die Korbstreben (2) der Ablagespuren (3) dünn mit elastischem Material partiell zu beschichten oder die Abtropfhilfen (7) als separate Federelemente aus Kunststoff oder Edelstahl auszubilden, welche auch separat von den Korbstreben (2) am Korbgestell zwischen den An- und/oder Auflageflächen des Spülguts angebracht werden können.It is also conceivable to thin the basket struts (2) of the storage tracks (3) with elastic material partially coat or the drip aids (7) as separate spring elements made of plastic or stainless steel, which also separate from the basket struts (2) on the basket frame between can be attached to the contact and / or support surfaces of the wash ware.

Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Tropfenableithilfen in Kombination zu Korbstreben (2) im Bereich der Stellflächen des Spülguts werden zuverlässig sichere Kontaktpunkte (8) oder Kontaktflächen mit den Rändern des Spülguts hergestellt, wobei das Spülgut, bspw. ein zu spülendes Glas (4), nicht auf eine bestimmte Formgebung oder Abmessung seiner Öffnung ausgelegt sein muß. Der Kontakt mit den Abtropfhilfen (7) stellt sich zusätzlich zu den Abstützpunkten des Glases mit den freien Korbstreben (2) ein. Wichtig ist, daß die elastischen Abtropfhilfen (7) bzw. deren Auflageflächen (7a) bei nicht aufliegendem Spülgut höher liegen als die festen Korbdrähte. Wird dann ein Glas (4) oder eine Tasse abgestellt, so hat der Glas- (4) oder Tassenrand zuerst Kontakt mit der elastischen Bewicklung und danach mit den festen Korbdrähten. Ein zuverlässiger Bodenkontakt insbesondere an den Problemstellen ist daher immer gewährleistet.Through the drop deflection aids according to the invention in combination with basket struts (2) in the area The shelves of the items to be washed reliably become safe contact points (8) or contact areas produced with the edges of the wash ware, the wash ware, for example Glass (4), not to be designed for a specific shape or dimension of its opening got to. The contact with the draining aids (7) is in addition to the support points of the Glases with the free basket struts (2). It is important that the elastic draining aids (7) or whose contact surfaces (7a) are higher than the fixed basket wires when the wash ware is not lying on them. If a glass (4) or a cup is then set down, the glass (4) or cup edge has first contact with the elastic wrapping and then with the fixed basket wires. Reliable contact with the ground, especially at problem areas, is therefore always guaranteed.

Selbstverständlich können im Korbgestell auch die Ablagespuren für die Teller und Tassen mit Abtropfhilfen (7) kombiniert werden, wenn dies gefordert ist.Of course, the storage tracks for the plates and cups can also be in the basket frame Draining aids (7) can be combined if required.
