Definitions

  • the invention relates to a crockery basket with a dishwashing device mounted pivotally on the crockery basket for supporting crockery set in the crockery basket.
  • the lower dish rack is provided with a pivotally mounted dish holding device.
  • the dish-holding device can be pivoted by 90 ° between a vertical and a horizontal position.
  • a plurality of support elements arranged on the crockery holding device lie largely flat on the crockery basket bottom, so that bulky items such as pans can be placed on the crockery basket bottom.
  • the dish-holding device In the unfolded position, the dish-holding device usually interacts with another pivotable dish-holding device, so that a plurality of plates or plates can be arranged between the vertically oriented support elements of the pivotable dish-holding device.
  • a crockery basket according to the preamble of the independent claim is from the document WO-A-01/80702 known.
  • a dish rack with at least one pivotally mounted dish-holding device is provided, which can be transferred between a first and a second pivot position.
  • Disposed on a base member of the dish-holding apparatus is a plurality of support members which are vertically or obliquely upwardly oriented in a first (erected) pivotal position. If two such hinged dish-holding devices or a pivotable dish-holding device and a further dish-holding device provided with a plurality of support members, the vertically or obliquely upwardly extending support members serve to support, for example, plates or plates, which are set between the support elements.
  • the support elements in the first pivot position seen in Schwenkachsplatz extend vertically upwards and are perpendicular to the pivot axis seen from the side view slightly inclined aligned to the vertical, so that there is a stable storage of the set between the support items ware.
  • the support elements In a second, tilted pivoting position of the dishwashing apparatus, the support elements extend at an angle of at least 5 ° to 45 ° to the horizontal, i.
  • the support elements are at an angle of 5 ° to 35 ° to the dish rack bottom.
  • Another advantageous range of the inclination of the support elements in the second pivot position is a range of 8 ° to 35 °, more preferably from 8 ° to 20 °.
  • the support elements are at this angle in their entire length, but it is sufficient if the tilted, second position upwardly facing side of the support elements form substantially at an angle inclined to this plant level with respect to the horizontal. Due to the inclined position of the support elements in the tilted, second position of the dish-holding device, items of small or medium dimensions can be placed on the top side of the support elements (eg glasses, cups, trays or the like), the dishwashing liquid being inclined to the lowest point of the items to be washed and there drips better than in the horizontal position of the items to be washed (for example, on the downwardly facing glass edge of a set glass).
  • the dishwashing liquid being inclined to the lowest point of the items to be washed and there drips better than in the horizontal position of the items to be washed (for example, on the downwardly facing glass edge of a set glass).
  • the dish-holding device preferably builds less in the tilted position than in the upright, first position, so that when the dish-holding device is folded, the setting of large items to be washed, such as pots or the like, is slightly impeded by the protrusion of the dish-holding device.
  • the longitudinal axis of at least one part of the support elements extends at a distance of 0.3 to 8 cm, preferably 0.5 to 5 cm, from the pivot axis of the dish-holding device.
  • This distance offset or vertical offset of the support elements to the pivot axis results in a stop or a stop of the harness holder in a position in which the tips of the support elements in the bottom plane of the dish rack, the previously described, oblique orientation of the support elements in the folded Position of the harness holder.
  • the base element on which the support elements are arranged is advantageous for this purpose Spaced parallel offset to the pivot axis, so that for example the support elements can be provided as straight wire pins on the base member.
  • the ratio of the length of the support elements to the distance of the parallel offset is at least 2: 1, preferably at least 4: 1.
  • the support elements themselves are angular and fastened with the short leg on the base element, so that the parallel offset of the support elements is predetermined to the pivot axis by the shape of the support elements.
  • second position of the dishwashing device items between the angular support elements can be adjusted, such as saucers, which are supported in a space-saving and dimensionally reduced space in the dish rack by the support elements.
  • projections are arranged on the base element, which serve in the second, tilted position of the dish-holding device as anti-slip for ajar wash ware.
  • the projections are extension extensions of the support elements, the at upright dish holding device projecting from the base element down.
  • the dish-holding device abuts both the first, erected pivot position and the second, tilted pivot position against abutment elements arranged on the crockery basket, wherein the abutment elements prevent gravity-induced further pivoting of the crockery fixture by the abutment elements.
  • one or more latching or hanging devices are provided, in which the dish holding device can be locked in the raised first and / or in the tilted second pivoting position.
  • the above-described crockery holding device can be provided in pairs on the crockery basket, wherein both are opposite or in the same direction hinged. Or such a dish-holding device is combined with fixed, arranged on a lattice bar of the dish rack support elements, so that large plates between the erected dish-holding device and the fixed support elements can be adjusted, while folded dish-holding device z. B. saucers between the support elements of the folded harness holder and the fixed support elements are adjustable. Furthermore, a combination of the above-described crockery holding device and a pivotally mounted dish-holding device, which rests flat in the folded state on the crockery basket bottom, is provided so that when folded crockery holders a large, almost flat crockery bottom surface is available.
  • FIG. 1A and 1B show a partial view of a dish rack with a first dish holder 10 and a second dish holder 15.
  • Both tableware holders 10, 15 are pivotally mounted on the dish rack 1, wherein the first dish holder 10 in Fig. 1A in the unfolded position and in FIG. 1B is shown in the folded-down position.
  • a front and rear wire rod 2 of the upper dish rack border are shown in Fig. 1A only partially.
  • transverse bars 6, which are perpendicular to the extension direction of the dish rack only partially shown.
  • At the front and back of the crockery basket 1 extend from the upper bars 2 each two side bars 3 of the Geschirrkorboberseite to the dish basket bottom or to the dish rack bottom.
  • eyelets 4 are arranged, whose underside are in turn connected in the extension direction of the dish rack in each case with a longitudinal bar.
  • the first harness holder 10 comprises a base wire extending substantially in the extension direction, on which a plurality is attached by support rods 11.
  • the support rods 11 project vertically from the base wire 12 upwards.
  • the ends of the base wire 12 are double-angled in the region of the front and back of the dish rack 1, wherein a trained as a bearing pin 13 portion of the base wire 12 engages in the front and back respectively in an eyelet 4.
  • the support rods are pivotable. Due to the double bending of the ends of the base wire 12, the main portion of the base wire, on which the support rods 11 are arranged, during pivoting about the bearing pins 13 performs a pivotal movement parallel to the pivot axis.
  • the second harness holder 15 has a rectilinear base wire 17, the ends of which extend through the eyelets 4 of the staggered side bars 3. Support rods 16 are also provided on the base wire 17 which, when the second dish holder 15 is in the unfolded position, are vertical or obliquely upward, while in the folded-down position of the second dish holder 15, the support bars 16 lie in the dish floor plane.
  • a locking device for locking the second harness holder 15 in the erected position is not shown here.
  • the first dish holder 10 is shown as a part removed from the dish rack 1.
  • the upper ends of the support rods 11 are in the tilted position on the base wire 17 of the second harness holder 15 on. Due to the double angled shape of the base wire 12 at its ends, the support rods 11 are raised in the region of the base wire 12 on the dishwashing level, so that the Support rods 11 in the tilted position have an oblique course. That is, the support rods 11 are inclined in the tilted position to the dish rack bottom plane. In both the tilted position (FIG. 1B) and the erected position (FIG.
  • the dead weight of the first harness holder 10 exerts a torque with respect to the pivot axis (through the front and rear eyelets 4) the first harness holder 10 is stabilized in both positions.
  • the base wire 12 rests against the transverse transverse rods 6.
  • it may additionally be provided such a locking or suspension device.
  • FIGS. 2A and 2B again schematically show and enlarge the first dish holder in the upright position (FIG. 2A) and in the folded-down position (FIG. 2B) in side view.
  • the lower end (upright position, Fig. 2A) of the support rods 11 does not coincide with the base wire 12, but the support rods 11 are extended beyond the base wire 12 by the extensions 11A.
  • the first harness holder 10 is folded down, while the second harness holder 15 is locked in the upright position.
  • a placed on the support rods 11 of the first dish holder 10 glass 20 is located with its lower edge on the support rods 11.
  • the oblique position runs both at the lower edge of the glass 20 and on the bottom surface of the glass, the rinsing liquid after the rinsing easier from.
