Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen korbartigen Behälter eines Haushaltsgerätes nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The present invention relates to a basket-like container of a household appliance according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein korbartiger Behälter der gattungsgemäßen Art ist aus der EP-A-0 033 483 bekannt.A basket-like container of the generic type is from the EP-A-0 033 483 known.

Bei der in dieser Druckschrift beschriebenen Konstruktion ist eine Höhenverstellung des Behälters ausschließlich im Sinne einer Parallelverstellung möglich. Die Möglichkeit, den Behälter auch zu kippen oder zu neigen, ist nicht beschrieben.In the construction described in this document, a height adjustment of the container is possible only in the sense of a parallel adjustment. The possibility of tilting or tilting the container is not described.

Aus der US-A-5 657 878 ist ein Geschirrspüler mit einem darin verfahrbar gelagerten Gestell bekannt, welches zusätzlich zu seiner Verfahrbarkeit auch noch in der Höhe verstellbar ist.From the US-A-5,657,878 is a dishwasher with a movably mounted therein frame known, which in addition to its mobility is also adjustable in height.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen korbartigen Behälter der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, der sich durch eine aus wenigen und preiswert herstellbaren Teilen bestehende und leicht zu bedienende Höhenverstelleinrichtung auszeichnet.The present invention has for its object to provide a basket-like container of the generic type, which is characterized by a few and inexpensive to produce parts existing and easy-to-use height adjustment.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Eine derartig aufgebaute Höhenverstelleinrichtung besteht aus relativ wenigen sowie einfach herstellbaren Teilen, nämlich im Wesentlichen aus den führungsseitig festlegbaren Tragelaschen und den mit Rastklinken versehenen Trageinrichtungen, die Entriegelungshandhaben aufweisen. Insoweit ist eine derartige Höhenverstelleinrichtung äußerst preiswert herstellbar und auch noch leicht zu bedienen, da zum Entriegeln einer eingenommenen Position lediglich die Betätigung der Bedienungshandhaben erforderlich ist, durch welche die Rastklinken aus dem Eingriffsbereich der Rastkerben der Traglaschen herausbewegt werden. Nach einem Anheben oder Absenken oder einem eventuellen Neigen des Behälters kann durch Nichtbetätigung der Bedienungshandhabung diese neue Position fixiert werden.A height adjustment device constructed in this way consists of relatively few parts which are easy to produce, namely essentially the carrying lugs which can be fixed on the guide side and the carrying devices provided with detent pawls which have unlocking handles. In that regard, such a height adjustment is extremely inexpensive to produce and also easy to use, since to unlock a position occupied only the operation of the operating handle is required, through which the pawls are moved out of the engagement region of the notches of the support tabs. After raising, lowering or tilting the container, it is possible to fix this new position by not operating the handle.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.Further features of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.

In Figur 1 ist - wie in den weiteren Darstellungen auch - mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 insgesamt ein korbartiger Behälter eines Haushaltsgerätes bezeichnet, konkret handelt es sich hierbei um einen Geschirrkorb einer Spülmaschine.In FIG. 1 is - as in the other representations also - designated by the reference numeral 1 a total of a basket-like container of a household appliance, specifically, this is a dish rack of a dishwasher.

Der korbartige Behälter 1 ist in bekannter Weise längs seitlich angeordneter Führungen 2 aus einer Grundstellung in Inneren eines in den Zeichnungen nicht dargestellten Haushaltsgerätes, beispielsweise einer Geschirrspülmaschine, in eine vor dem Haushaltsgerät liegende Beschickungsstellung verfahrbar.The basket-like container 1 is movable in a known manner along laterally arranged guides 2 from a basic position in the interior of a household appliance, not shown in the drawings, for example, a dishwasher, in a feed position located in front of the appliance.

Der korbartige Behälter 1 ist darüber hinaus mit einer Höhenverstelleinrichtung 3 ausgestattet, mittels derer der Behälter 1 in unterschiedliche Höhenlagen gegenüber den Führungen 2 wie auch in verschiedene Schräglagen gebracht werden kann.The basket-like container 1 is also equipped with a height adjustment device 3, by means of which the container 1 can be brought to different heights relative to the guides 2 as well as in different inclinations.

Die Höhenverstelleinrichtung 3 umfaßt an den Führungen 2 befestigte und sich vertikal über die Führungen 2 nach oben hinaus erstreckende Tragelaschen 4 mit Rastkerben 5 und mit dem Behälter 1 verbundene Trageinrichtungen 6, wobei die Trageinrichtungen 6 mit Rastklinken 7 versehen sind, die in die Rastkerben 5 eingreifen und dabei den Behälter 1 abstützen, außerdem umfaßt jede Trageinrichtung 6 auch noch eine Entriegelungshandhabe 8, mittels derer die Rastklinken 7 aus dem Eingriffsbereich der Rastkerben 5 der Tragelaschen 4 heraus bewegbar sind.The height adjustment device 3 comprises attached to the guides 2 and vertically above the guides 2 upwardly extending support tabs 4 with notches 5 and connected to the container 1 carrying means 6, wherein the support means 6 are provided with detents 7, which engage in the notches 5 and thereby support the container 1, in addition, each support means 6 also includes an unlocking handle 8, by means of which the latching pawls 7 are movable out of the engagement region of the notches 5 of the support tabs 4 out.

Die Rastklinken 7 sind jeweils Bestandteil von Winkelhebeln 9, die jeweils innerhalb eines Gehäuses 10 schwenkbar gelagert sind. Dabei sind die Rastklinken 7 im Bereich eines Endes des Winkelhebels 9 ausgebildet und im Bereich ihrer jeweiligen anderen Enden sind die Winkelhebel 9 schwenkbar an der Entriegelungshandhabe 8 angeschlossen.The detents 7 are each part of angle levers 9, which are each pivotally mounted within a housing 10. In this case, the detents 7 are formed in the region of one end of the angle lever 9 and in the region of their respective other ends, the angle lever 9 are pivotally connected to the unlocking handle 8.

Die erwähnten Gehäuse 10, die fest mit dem korbartigen Behälter 1 verbunden sind, werden von den Tragelaschen 4 durchtreten.The mentioned housing 10, which are firmly connected to the basket-like container 1, will pass from the support tabs 4.

Wie sich aus Figur 2 ergibt, ist jeder Winkelhebel 9 durch eine Feder 11 in der Weise belastet, daß die Sperrklinken 7 in Richtung ihrer Raststellung gedrückt werden.As it turned out FIG. 2 shows, each angle lever 9 is loaded by a spring 11 in such a way that the pawls 7 are pressed in the direction of its rest position.

Ein unbeabsichtigtes Entriegeln einer eingestellten Position des Behälters 1 ist somit vermieden.Unintentional unlocking a set position of the container 1 is thus avoided.

Es sei ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen, daß der Behälter 1 an seinen beiden Längsseiten mit den vorstehend erwähnten Mitteln ausgestattet ist, so daß sich eine gleichmäßige und gute Abstützung des Behälters 1 gegenüber den Tragelaschen 4 und damit letztendlich der Führungen 2 ergibt.It should be expressly understood that the container 1 is provided on both its longitudinal sides with the means mentioned above, so that a uniform and good support of the container 1 relative to the support tabs 4 and thus ultimately the guides 2 results.

Es sei aber ebenso ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen, daß alternativ hierzu auch eine Art Dreipunktauflage verwirklicht werden kann dadurch, daß nur auf einer Seite, und zwar mit Abstand zueinander, angeordnete Tragelaschen 4 vorgesehen sind, während auf der gegenüber liegenden Seite nur eine derartige Tragelasche 4 Verwendung findet.It should also be expressly pointed out that, alternatively, a kind of three-point support can be realized in that only one side, at a distance from each other, arranged support tabs 4 are provided, while on the opposite side only such a carrying tab 4 use place.

Die erwähnten Gehäuse 10 sind mit angeformten Klammern 12 ausgestattet, mittels derer die Gehäuse 10 an dafür vorgesehene Drähte 13 des Behälters 1 angeclipst sind.The mentioned housing 10 are provided with molded-on brackets 12, by means of which the housing 10 are clipped to designated wires 13 of the container 1.

Selbstverständlich können auch andere Befestigungsmöglichkeiten zur Festlegung der Gehäuse 10 am Behälter 1 verwirklicht sein.Of course, other mounting options for fixing the housing 10 on the container 1 can be realized.

Einer der Drähte 13 kann vorteilhafterweise in Richtung des jeweiligen Gehäuses 10 abgewinkelt sein und mit diesem abgewinkelten Schenkel 13a (siehe Figur 4) in das jeweiligen Gehäuse 10 hineinragen, wobei dann der besagte abgewinkelte Schenkel 13a als Schwenkachse für den jeweiligen Winkelhebel 9 genutzt werden kann.One of the wires 13 may advantageously be angled in the direction of the respective housing 10 and with this angled leg 13a (see FIG. 4 ) protrude into the respective housing 10, in which case said angled leg 13a can be used as a pivot axis for the respective angle lever 9.

Wie aus den Figuren 3-5 besonders anschaulich hervorgeht, ist jedes Gehäuse mit einem durchgängigen Schlitz 14 ausgestattet, welchen jeweils eine Tragelasche 4 und das jeweilige Gehäuse 10 durchtritt.Like from the Figures 3-5 shows particularly clearly, each housing is equipped with a continuous slot 14, which in each case a carrying tab 4 and the respective housing 10 passes.

Jede Entriegelungshandhabe 8 ist, was Figur 7 besonders deutlich macht, mit angeformten, federnden Stiften 15 ausgestattet. Diese federnden Stifte 15 sind durch entsprechend angeordnete Löcher 16 der Winkelhebel 9 (siehe Figur 6) hindurchsteckbar und bilden eine Schwenkachse zwischen der Entriegelungshandhabe 8 einerseits und den Winkelhebeln 9 andererseits. Die besagten Löcher 16 sind als Langlöcher ausgebildet, so daß bei einer Betätigung der Entriegelungshandhaben 8 durch Anheben derselben die beiden Winkelhebel 9 jeweils um ihre Schwenkachse 13a verschwenkt werden können, was das Außereingriffbringen der Rastklinken 7 aus dem Eingriffsbereich der Rastkerben 5 zur Folge hat.Each unlock handle 8 is what FIG. 7 makes particularly clear, equipped with molded, resilient pins 15. These resilient pins 15 are by appropriately arranged holes 16 of the angle lever 9 (see FIG. 6 ) hindurchsteckbar and form a pivot axis between the Entriegelungshandhabe 8 on the one hand and the angle levers 9 on the other. The said holes 16 are formed as elongated holes, so that upon actuation of the Entriegelungshandhaben 8 by lifting the same, the two angle lever 9 can be pivoted about their pivot axis 13 a, which has the disengagement of the pawls 7 from the engagement portion of the notches 5 result.

Werden die Entriegelungshandhaben 8 wieder freigegeben, so wird durch die Schwenkraft einerseits sowie durch die Unterstützung der Federn 11 andererseits jeder Winkelhebel 9 wieder in seine Ausgangslage zurückverschwenkt, in der sich dann die Rastklinken 7 wieder in eine der Rastkerben 5 zurückbewegen mit der Folge, daß der Behälter 1 wieder vollkommen sicher auf den Tragelaschen 4 abgestützt liegt.If the Entriegelungshandhaben 8 released again, then by the pivoting on the one hand and by the support of the springs 11 each angle lever 9 zurückverschwenkt back to its original position in which then the pawls 7 move back into one of the notches 5 with the result that the Container 1 is again completely safely supported on the support tabs 4.

Um ein vollständiges Abheben des Behälters 1 von den Tragelaschen 4 zu verhindern, sind die Tragelaschen 4 in Richtung ihrer Längsachse jeweils mit einem Längsschlitz 17 ausgestattet, in den eine an dem jeweiligen Gehäuse 10 angeformte, federnde Nase 18 hineinragt. Diese federnde Nase 18 bildet dann am oberen Ende des jeweiligen Längsschlitzes 17 einer Tragelasche 4 eine Art Endanschlag, der das vollständige, unbeabsichtigte Abheben des Behälters 1 von den Tragelaschen 4 verhindert.In order to prevent a complete lifting of the container 1 from the support tabs 4, the support tabs 4 are each provided in the direction of their longitudinal axis with a longitudinal slot 17 into which an integrally formed on the respective housing 10, resilient nose 18 protrudes. This resilient nose 18 then forms at the upper end of the respective longitudinal slot 17 of a carrying tab 4 a kind of end stop, which prevents the complete, unintentional lifting of the container 1 from the carrying tabs 4.

Vorteilhafterweise sind die Gehäuse 10, die Winkelhebel 9 und die Entriegelungshandhaben 8 aus Kunststoff jeweils einstückig hergestellt.Advantageously, the housing 10, the angle lever 9 and the Entriegelungshandhaben 8 made of plastic are each made in one piece.

Die Tragelaschen 4 können aus Gründen der Belastbarkeit zweckmäßigerweise aus Metall gefertigt sein.The support tabs 4 may be made for the sake of resilience suitably made of metal.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung gemäß den Figuren 1-7 sind die Entriegelungshandhaben 8 jeweils griffähnlich ausgebildet und mit Griffmulden 19 ausgestattet.In the embodiment of the invention according to the Figures 1-7 are the Entriegelungshandhaben 8 each handle-like design and equipped with recessed grips 19.

Abweichend hiervon zeigt das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 8, welches im grundsätzlichen Aufbau und von seiner Funktionsweise her dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß den Figuren 1-7 vollinhaltlich entspricht, daß die Entriegelungshandhaben 8 auch aus einfachen Rohr- oder Stangenabschnitten bestehen können, die in ihren Lagerbereichen zu den Winkelhebeln 9 mit abgeflachten Kopfstücken 20 mit angeformten, federnden Stiften 15 ausgestattet sind.Notwithstanding this shows the embodiment according to FIG. 8 , which in the basic structure and its operation of the embodiment according to the Figures 1-7 vollinhaltlich corresponds that the Entriegelungshandhaben 8 can also consist of simple pipe or rod sections, which are equipped in their storage areas to the angle levers 9 with flattened head pieces 20 with molded, resilient pins 15.

Die Figuren 9 und 10 zeigen ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung, bei dem die Entriegelungshandhaben 8 insgesamt aus einer Tragbügelkonstruktion bestehen.The Figures 9 and 10 show an embodiment of the invention in which the Entriegelungshandhaben 8 total consist of a mounting bracket construction.

Darüber hinaus zeigt Figur 10, daß an den Winkelhebeln 9 auch unmittelbar eine der Wirkung der schon erwähnten Federn 11 entsprechende Federlasche 21 angeformt sein kann.In addition, shows FIG. 10 in that a spring tongue 21 corresponding to the action of the already mentioned springs 11 can also be formed directly on the angle levers 9.

Sämtliche gezeigten und beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung zeichnen sich dadurch aus, daß die Höhenverstelleinrichtung 3 aus insgesamt wenigen, einfach und preiswert herstellbaren Bauteilen besteht und extrem leicht bedienbar ist.All shown and described embodiments of the invention are characterized in that the height adjustment device 3 consists of a total of a few, simple and inexpensive to produce components and is extremely easy to use.

So ist einerseits ein Anheben des Behälters 1 aus einer unteren Grundposition nach oben heraus möglich, ohne die Entriegelungshandhaben 8 zu betätigen, da die Rastklinken bei dieser Aufwärtsbewegung die Rastkerben 5 einfach überratschen können.Thus, on the one hand lifting of the container 1 from a lower basic position up out possible without the unlocking handle 8 to operate, since the pawls can easily ratchet 5 in this upward movement of the notches.

Lediglich beim Absenken des Behälters 1 sind die Entriegelungshandhaben 8 zu betätigen, um die Rastklinken 7 außer Eingriff mit den Rastkerben 5 bringen zu können. In dieser entriegelten Position kann dann der Behälter 1 nach unten abgesenkt werden bis zu einer gewünschten tieferen Position, nach Freigabe der Entriegelungshandhaben 8 findet dann wieder ein Eingriff der Rastklinken 7 in die jeweils zugeordneten Rastkerben 5 statt, verbunden mit der schon erwähnten sicheren Abstützung des Behälters 1 einschließlich des darin befindlichen Füllgutes.Only when lowering the container 1, the Entriegelungshandhaben 8 are actuated to bring the pawls 7 out of engagement with the notches 5 can. In this unlocked position, the container 1 can then be lowered down to a desired lower position, after releasing the Entriegelungshandhaben 8 then takes again engagement of the pawls 7 in the respective associated notches 5, connected to the already mentioned safe support of the container 1 including the contents therein.
