Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dishwasher with increased loading capacity for the items to be washed, particularly with regard to cutlery.
  • the dishwasher to which the present invention relates is of the type comprising a parallelepipedal washing chamber accessible from the front through a door pivotable about a horizontal articulation axis disposed in the vicinity of the bottom of the chamber, the dishwasher also comprising a plurality of crockery compartments slidable horizontally like drawers in the chamber on respective sliding guides carried by the internal vertical side walls of the chamber.
  • the cutlery In dishwashers of the type indicated above, the cutlery is generally housed for washing in a vertical position in baskets with walls and bases which are perforated to allow the water to pass through them. These baskets are placed in one of the crockery compartments of the machine, usually in the lower one, and can be removed manually.
  • the number of baskets varies according to the amount of cutlery to be washed.
  • the baskets when they are not used during a washing operation, they take up space whether they are kept outside the dishwasher or are left inside where they occupy space which could more appropriately be used for crockery.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a dishwasher having a cutlery container which does not interfere with the space intended for the loading of the crockery but which nevertheless permits the use of conventional cutlery baskets if it is considered necessary.
  • the dishwasher 1 has a front door 2 pivotable about a horizontal axis 3 by means of conventional hinges, not shown in detail.
  • the machine 1 has a washing chamber 4 inside which there are crockery compartments 5 and 6 slidable like drawers on conventional guides 7 and 8 carried by the vertical side walls 9 and 10 of the chamber 4.
  • the internal face 11 of the door 2 has a container, generally indicated 14, for holding cutlery.
  • the container 14 is formed as a basket anchored firmly to the face 11 of the door 2 and comprises a perforated end 15, the depth A of which is no greater than the distance X between the face 11 of the door 2, when it is closed, and the front walls 5a and 6a of the compartments 5 and 6 when they are fully inserted in the chamber 4.
  • the width L of the container 14 may take up the entire free width of the face 11 up to the region of the detergent and rinse-aid compartments 12 and 13.
  • the width L is in any case no less than the length of an item of table cutlery.
  • the container 14 has a pivotable lid 16 for preventing the cutlery from coming out of the container after the cutlery has been inserted manually and the door 2 has been closed for washing cycles to be performed.
  • the formation of the container 14 as a perforated basket allows the washing water to penetrate between the items of cutlery.
  • the cutlery can also be loaded into the container 14 through the end opposite the end wall 15 with the door 2 in an inclined or semi-open position, as shown in Figure 3.
  • the cutlery container is indicated 140 and is connected to the internal face 11 of the door 2 by mechanical snap couplings constituted by recesses 141 formed in the face 11 of the door 2 and by pins 142 fixed to the container 140.
  • the depth A of the end wall 150 is also no greater than the distance X between the front walls 5a and 6a of the drawer-like compartments 5 and 6 and the face 11 of the door 2 although, in the intermediate portion of the container 140 corresponding to the vertical space between the compartments 5 and 6, the depth of the container 140 may exceed this distance, extending up to a distance Y such as to enable it to house the rounded portions of spoons, even those larger than conventional spoons, for example, so-called serving spoons.
  • the cutlery is loaded into the container 140, after the lid 240 has been raised, with the door 2 in an inclined position, as shown in Figure 3, or fully open, as shown in Figure 1.
  • the container 140 may be completely removed from the door 2 to enable the cutlery also to be loaded at a distance from the dishwasher.
  • the cutlery container 140 with perforated or grid-like walls has a lid 240 hinged on an axis 241 extending along the edge 242 of a base 243 which in turn is anchored to the face 11 of the door 2.
  • the lid 240 of the container 140 can adopt a position for the loading of the cutlery, shown in Figure 4, in which it is arranged perpendicular to the face 11 of the door 2 and a washing position in which, after pivoting about the axis 241, it lies on the container parallel to the face 11 of the door 2.
  • the lid 240 has a convex central portion 244 for receiving and housing the rounded portions even of large serving spoons.
  • the dishwasher according to the invention can house and hence wash a large amount of cutlery, for example, a complete service, without affecting the space in the chamber conventionally intended for crockery, although the possibility of the additional use of conventional baskets to be placed in the crockery compartments is not excluded.
  • the grid-like configurations of the cutlery containers may vary according to requirements, for example, to facilitate the positioning of items of cutlery individually or in groups or to permit adequate and efficient circulation of the washing water, without thereby departing from the scope of the invention.
