Definitions

• Dish basket for holding dishes and household dishwashers
• the invention relates to a crockery basket for holding crockery parts, in particular in a household dishwasher, with a rake-like holding device comprising a plurality of spikes, which can be folded between different pivot positions, and a household dishwasher.
• crockery baskets for holding crockery items - such as plates, cups, glasses, etc. - in particular in household dishwashers.
• German utility model DE-GM 88 11 474 a crockery basket for a household dishwasher with a rake-like holding device made of interconnected spines is known.
• the holding device is pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis between different positions.
• protruding parts are formed perpendicular to the pivot axis and on both sides to a support surface of the holding device, which serve as tableware stops to secure cups or similar small parts against slipping.
• the spikes of the holding device are angled at their lower ends facing the crockery basket bottom according to the subject matter of the invention. Due to the spikes of the already existing holding device, which are angled at the ends according to the invention, crockery parts, in particular hollow body Crockery items - such as glasses, vases, cups, bowls and the like - can also be added to the crockery basket in a simple and inexpensive manner.
• a further advantage of the spines angled at the ends according to the invention is that the additional holding capacity of the crockery basket can be used flexibly if necessary, without other devices having to be installed in the crockery basket if the capacity is increased and removed again when not required.
• a variant of the invention has proven to be particularly advantageous in which the spikes are angled at their ends in such a way that they form a storage surface for hollow crockery parts in the event of an oblique pivoting position of the holding device that deviates from a horizontal or vertical pivoting position. This results in more storage space for hollow parts of crockery in the crockery basket, so that the total absorption capacity increases.
• this elegant solution variant - consisting of the combination of the angled spike ends with the inclined swivel position of the holding device - allows the hollow body crockery to be stored particularly easily and yet safely.
• the angled spikes preferably form the storage surface in a central position between the horizontal pivot position and the vertical pivot position of the holding device, in order to achieve the greatest possible security when storing the hollow body crockery parts.
• Another variant of the invention has also proven to be favorable, in which the spikes are angled at their ends in such a way that they form stops for holding hollow parts of crockery in an at least approximately horizontal pivot position. This creates more receptacles for hollow crockery items in the crockery basket, so that the total absorption capacity increases.
• only one in two spikes of the spines is angled at its lower end and serves as a stop for holding wider hollow body crockery parts intended.
• This has the advantage that additional storage spaces, especially for wide hollow parts of crockery - such as compote bowls, bowls and the like - are flexibly available if necessary.
• the spikes angled at their lower ends are preferably L-shaped or U-shaped. This allows the hollow body crockery parts to be held particularly securely on the additional storage surfaces in the inclined swivel position or at the stops of the additional parking spaces.
• a household dishwasher which has a crockery basket with the features according to the invention, offers the possibility of a flexible increase in the absorption capacity by more storage space or storage space for hollow crockery parts if necessary.
• FIG. 1 is a partial view of a crockery basket according to the subject of the invention for receiving crockery parts
• FIG. 2 is a partial view of a crockery basket according to the subject of the invention in a first variant for receiving crockery parts
• FIG. 3 shows a partial view of a crockery basket according to the subject of the invention in a second variant for accommodating wider crockery parts
• FIG. 4 shows a side view of the one in the crockery basket according to FIG. 2
• a household dishwasher, not described in more detail, of a conventional type has at least one crockery basket 1, which is shown in each case in a partial view according to FIGS. 1 to 3.
• the crockery basket 1 can be used both as an upper basket and as a lower basket. It usually consists of a wire-formed one Basket construction with bottom wires 3 running longitudinally and transversely on a crockery basket bottom 2. Spikes 4 which are essentially vertically upward and optionally inclined in one plane are fastened to these bottom wires 3. These spikes 4 serve to hold dishes - usually flat dishes 6 such as plates and the like - which are arranged between the spikes 4 resting on the basket base 2.
• the spines 4 are limited in height and have free ends 5 directed upwards.
• the spikes 4 form a rake-like holding device which can be folded between different pivot positions.
• the holding device with the spikes 4 according to FIG. 1 is in a vertical swivel position, according to FIG. 3 in a horizontal swivel position and according to FIG. 2 in an oblique swivel position between the horizontal and the vertical swivel position.
• the spikes 4 assume a 90 ° position in the vertical swivel position, a 0 ° position in the horizontal swivel position and preferably a 45 ° position in the oblique swivel position corresponding to a central position.
• the crockery basket 1 shows the crockery basket 1 for receiving crockery parts 6 with the rake-like holding device, in which according to the invention the spikes 4 are angled at their lower ends 7 facing the basket base 2.
• the spikes 4 with the angled ends 7 preferably have an L-shape, but can alternatively also have a U-shape.
• the spines 4 angled at their ends 7 have a storage surface for hollow crockery parts 8, such as vessels, cups, vases and the like . Due to the inclination - preferably the 45 ° center position - of the holding device, the hollow crockery parts 8 rest securely on the angled ends 7 of the spikes 4.
• 3 shows a further variant of the crockery basket 2 for accommodating, in particular, wider crockery parts 9, such as, for example, compote bowls, salad bowls and the like.
• the rake-like holding device with the spines 4, which are angled according to the invention at their ends 7 ', is in the horizontal pivot position, corresponding to the 0 ° position of the spikes 4 relative to the basket base 2.
• the ends 7' of the angled spikes 4 protrude in this pivot position in essentially vertically upwards and therefore form stops for holding the hollow crockery parts 9.
• the crockery basket 2 of a plurality of spikes 4 in a row of spikes only every second spike 4 is angled at its lower end 7 'in order to act as a stop in particular Keep wider hollow body dishes 9 to effect. This shows in verdeutlichter form of the Fig. 4, with a side view of a hollow body harness part 9.
• the hollow body harness part 9 is held between two stops, which formed during flattening of the holding device in the O p position of the adjacent ends 7 'of two angled spikes 4 are.
• the spike 4 arranged between the two spikes 4 with angled ends 7 'does not have an L-shaped extension in order to achieve a greater width for the additional space created for accommodating a compote bowl 9 or a salad bowl.
