Definitions

  • the present invention relates to dishwashing machines, and in particular to a dishwasher rack provided with a tip-up shelf.
  • dishwasher racks are usually made from metal wires coated with plastic and welded together so as to form a supporting structure for the dishes.
  • mobile or removable supports are often provided which allow to change the exploitation of the rack according to the need of the moment.
  • the upper rack which is usually intended to receive the smaller dishes such as cups, glasses and the like.
  • a cup-supporting shelf extending along one or both sides of the rack and located at such a level as to allow the positioning of the glasses under the shelf.
  • the presence of the shelf is an obstacle when the upper rack has to be used for larger dishes.
  • the shelf can be made completely removable, as a separate insert, or tipped up to a vertical position.
  • the drawback that if the user does not properly secure the shelf this can result in the shelf falling down on the underlying glasses under the load of the cups.
  • Tip-up shelves do not have these drawbacks since they are fixed onto the rack, but they have size constraints. In fact, the rotation of the shelf takes place around an axis located at the point where the shelf is connected to the rack side. This means that the distance of said axis from the ceiling of the dishwasher tank must be greater than the width of the shelf, otherwise when the shelf is in the vertical position the rack could no more enter the tank.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a rack suitable to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • This object is achieved by means of a rack wherein the shelf can not only be rotated to a vertical position, but also moved vertically when it is in said position.
  • the main advantage of this rack is that it combines the simplicity and safety of use of the tip-up shelf with the capability of size increase without constraints which is typical of the removable shelf.
  • a further advantage of this rack is that it carries out the above-mentioned combined movement of the shelf through a very simple and tough structure, with positive effects on cost and reliability.
  • a conventional upper rack CS positioned within the tank of a dishwasher is provided along the left side with a tip-up shelf MR.
  • said shelf MR can receive a cup T having a maximum diameter of 86 mm, while under the shelf there can be positioned a glass B having a maximum height of 125 mm.
  • the shelf MR can be tipped up to a vertical position to eliminate the space occupied in the horizontal direction. It is clear that in order to be able to rotate completely the shelf it is necessary that its free end does not reach the tank ceiling CV.
  • Figs.2 and 3 clearly show the advantage achieved through the arrangement devised by the applicant.
  • the shelf 1 can still be tipped up to a vertical position around a horizontal axis 2, said axis 2 being however not fixed but rather capable of moving vertically downwards along a travel L.
  • the free end of the shelf 1 moves down along such a distance L and is therefore well far from the tank ceiling CV.
  • said roto-translational movement of the shelf 1 can be carried out even when the rack is inside the tank, but it is more practical to split it into a rotational movement followed by a vertical translational movement carried out when the rack is completely extracted from the tank.
  • this arrangement results in the possibility of easily receiving on the shelf 1 a cup T' having a maximum diameter of 100 mm, i.e. 16% larger than in the previous case. This result is achieved while maintaining the underlying room for a 125 mm glass B and the possibility of loading a large vessel C. As a matter of fact, it would be possible to increase further the width of the shelf 1, since its free end in the vertical position is farther from the tank ceiling CV than in the previous case with the fixed axis of rotation.
  • fig.4 illustrates a preferred embodiment suitable to allow the above-mentioned combined movement of rotation and translation.
  • the shelf When the shelf is in the loading position, it is supported by a shaped member 3 joined to the wires 4 forming the rack side.
  • This member 3 is L-shaped in a vertical plane perpendicular to said wires 4, and then terminates with an end 3a which is bent through 90° in the horizontal plane so as to be parallel with the axis 2.
  • the axis 2 is retained in the vertical direction by the L-shaped portion of the member 3, while the shelf 1 abuts on the end 3a through one of the rods which make it up.
  • a second shaped member 5 controls the vertical movement of the shelf 1.
  • the member 5 has an elongated U shape and is also located in a vertical plane perpendicular to the wires 4 and joined thereto. The height of the member 5 defines the vertical travel L of the shelf 1.
  • the above-described and illustrated embodiment of the device according to the invention is just an example susceptible of various modifications.
  • the shape and location of the supporting and guiding members 3, 5 can be changed according to the need, as long as they allow the above-described roto-translational movement.
  • the two above-mentioned members 3, 5 could even be combined into a single supporting and guiding member.
