Definitions

  • the present invention relates to dishwashers, and in particular to a dish-holding insert for dishwasher racks.
  • dishwasher racks are usually made from metal wires welded together and plastic coated to form a supporting structure for the dishes, which rest at the bottom on the horizontal wires of the rack bottom and at the back on substantially vertical support members.
  • the latter may be separate rods welded to the horizontal wires in a slightly tilted position, typically for the plate-holding supports, or they may simply be shaped portions of the horizontal wires.
  • the vertical support members may even be devised as inserts to be mounted on a grid-like base of horizontal wires having a small vertical sleeve welded at each cross-over point thereof, said sleeves being suitable to receive the uncoated bottom ends of the vertical members, so as to achieve a customizable rack as disclosed in JP-54138369U .
  • Some dishwasher rack inserts are already known which are specifically designed for holding delicate and/or difficult items, such as the insert disclosed in DE 19944883 for tall glasses or vases that are inverted for cleaning in a dishwasher on a vertically positioned bar having flexible arms which deform to the shape of the item, a base part having grooves which fit the wires of the rack at a cross-over point for stability.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a dish-holding insert for dishwasher racks which overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • the main advantage of the present insert is that of preventing the clinging of the water drops in the contact region between the dishes and the rack while retaining the ease of production of the rack, so as to improve the drying performance with a negligible increase in costs.
  • Another advantage of this insert stems from the fact that it can be easily applied even to existing racks, so as to provide an inexpensive upgrade of the dishwashers already in use.
  • Still a further advantage of said insert is its function of protecting the rack against corrosion, since its presence prevents the risks of damages to the plastic coating during the introduction and removal of the dishes from the rack, for example if a wet plate slips from the user's hands and hits hard the horizontal wires of the rack bottom.
  • a prior art dishwasher rack R conventionally includes a plurality of horizontal wires H to which there are welded a plurality of substantially vertical plate-holding supports V that act as back supports, being slightly tilted, for plates P that rest at the bottom on said horizontal wires H.
  • Some of the latter may be mounted on rack R so as to rotate around their longitudinal axis with the aid of hook-shaped horizontal supports S, such that the relevant plate-holding supports V are foldable.
  • a conventional dishwasher rack R can be provided with a plurality of inserts 1 (eight in the illustrated example) arranged at the vertical supports V such that plates P rest at the bottom on said inserts 1 rather than on the horizontal wires H to which the vertical supports V are welded.
  • Each insert 1 consists of a series of substantially arc-shaped elements 2 connected in line, each element 2 comprising an arcuate horizontal opening 3 and a lateral projecting portion 4 in which there is formed a vertical hole 5.
  • Each hole 5 is sized and shaped for the introduction on a vertical support V and the pitch of holes 5 is calculated to fit insert 1 over a row of supports V, the overall length of insert 1 being obviously set according to the position that it must take in rack R, as shown in the figure.
  • the coupling of insert 1 to rack R through holes 5 is very simple, fast and strong and further allows an easy removal of inserts 1 for their replacement/cleaning or in case they should interfere with the folding of supports V.
  • Fig.4 clearly shows how the top portion 6 of each element 2, and therefore of the whole insert 1, has a pointed shape, i.e. it has a vertex angle smaller than 70° and preferably comprised between 40° and 50°, such as to minimize the contact surface with plate P and to increase the angles between the latter and insert 1 whereby drops D can not cling and thus flow down by gravity.
  • the horizontal openings 3 are useful not only for making insert 1 lighter but also for the passage of the possible horizontal supports S, yet it would even be possible to make openings 3 only at said supports S.
  • top portion 6 is preferably made with a slight slope in the same direction of tilt of the vertical supports V so as to facilitate the correct positioning of plates P and the downflow of the water drops.
  • the material used for insert 1 can be any material suitable in terms of resistance to water, temperature and shocks such as plastic materials, rubber, metal, wood and the like.
