Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Geschirrkorb einer Geschirrspülmaschine zur Aufnahme von Geschirrstücken, mit einem Boden und mit den Boden umrahmenden Seitenteilen, wobei an dem Boden mindestens eine Stachelreihe für die Halterung der Geschirrstücke angeordnet ist, welche aus mindestens einem Stachelbasisdraht und mindestens einer daran befestigten Stachelreihe aus einzelnen Stacheldrähten besteht sowie eine Geschirrspülmaschine mit einem entsprechenden Geschirrkorb.The present invention relates to a crockery basket of a dishwashing machine for accommodating pieces of crockery, comprising a bottom and floor-framing side parts, wherein at least one row of barbs is arranged on the bottom for holding the crockery pieces comprising at least one barbed base wire and at least one row of barbs attached thereto individual barbed wires and a dishwasher with a corresponding crockery basket.

Die Druckschrift DE 72 35 591 U offenbart einen Geschirrkorb, welcher einen Boden aufweist, der von Seitenteilen umrahmt ist. Boden und Seitenteile bestehen aus einzelnen Drähten, die miteinander verbunden sind. Zur Aufnahme von Geschirrstücken sind an dem Boden des Geschirrkorbs parallel verlaufende Welldrähte vorgesehen, an welchen Stacheldrähte mit jeweils einem Ende fest angeordnet sind. Das andere Ende des jeweiligen Stacheldrahts ragt frei in das Korbinnere hinein. Die Welldrähte dienen zusammen mit den Stacheldrähten zur Aufnahme von Geschirrstücken. Nachteilig bei dieser Ausführung eines Geschirrkorbs ist die aufwändige Fertigung des Geschirrkorbs aufgrund der Welldrähte. Die Welldrähte, welche sich in dem Bodenbereich befinden, haben den weiteren Nachteil, dass zwischen den Welldrähten und den Stacheldrähten aufgenommene Geschirrstücke, insbesondere kleine Teller, bis in einen Bereich unterhalb des Geschirrkorbs ragen. Hierdurch ist eine Beschädigung der Geschirrstücke durch einen häufig unterhalb des Geschirrkorbs angeordneten Sprüharm nicht auszuschließen. Außerdem ist durch die feste Anordnung der Stacheldrähte eine Befüllung des Geschirrkorbs mit großen Geschirrstücken schwierig.The publication DE 72 35 591 U discloses a crockery basket having a bottom framed by side panels. Bottom and side panels consist of individual wires connected together. To accommodate pieces of crockery parallel corrugated wires are provided at the bottom of the crockery basket, to which barbed wires are fixedly arranged with one end. The other end of each barbed wire protrudes freely into the basket inside. The corrugated wires are used together with the barbed wires to accommodate pieces of crockery. A disadvantage of this design of a dish rack is the complex production of the dish rack due to the corrugated wires. The corrugated wires, which are located in the bottom area, have the further disadvantage that crockery pieces, in particular small plates, received between the corrugated wires and the barbed wires protrude into a region below the crockery basket. As a result, damage to the pieces of crockery can not be ruled out by a spray arm which is frequently arranged below the crockery basket. In addition, a filling of the crockery basket with large pieces of crockery is difficult by the fixed arrangement of the barbed wires.

Die Druckschrift DE 299 21 601 U1 offenbart einen Geschirrkorb für Geschirrspülmaschinen, bei welchem an dem Boden eine Stachelreihe für die Halterung der Geschirrstücke angeordnet ist. Die Stachelreihe besteht aus einem Stachelbasisdraht und einer daran befestigten Stachelreihe aus einzelnen Stacheldrähten. Der Stachelbasisdraht liegt dabei auf dem Boden des Geschirrkorbs, welcher ein Drahtgitter ist, auf. Die Geschirrstücke werden durch zwei Stachelreihen zwischen jeweils zwei Stacheldrähten gehalten. Die Stachelreihen können bei Bedarf umgeklappt und an den Boden angelegt werden. Die Lagerung erfolgt mit zusätzlichen, gebogenen Drähten in der Basismatte des Geschirrkorbs, welche den Stachelbasisdraht umgreifen. Nachteilig ist hierbei, dass die Lagerstelle gleichzeitig auch die Stelle ist, an der das Geschirrstück zu halten ist. Eine stabile und schonende Halterung des Geschirrstücks ist damit nicht gewährleistet. Sind die Geschirrstücke beispielsweise kleine Teller, so ragen diese durch die Basismatte des Geschirrkorbs hindurch und können durch eine Bewegung eines Sprüharms, welcher unterhalb des Gitterkorbs in der Geschirrspülmaschine angeordnet ist, beschädigt werden. Außerdem kann das Geschirrstück mit Drähten der Basismatte des Bodens des Geschirrkorbs in Berührung kommen, wodurch das Geschirrstück nur instabil gehalten wird und ebenfalls beschädigt werden kann.The publication DE 299 21 601 U1 discloses a crockery basket for dishwashers in which a row of barbs for holding the crockery pieces is arranged on the bottom. The spine row consists of a spiked base wire and a row of spiked single barbed wires attached to it. The spiked base wire lies on the bottom of the dish rack, which is a wire mesh on. The pieces of crockery are going through held two rows of spikes between two barbed wires. The rows of barbs can be folded down as needed and put on the ground. The storage takes place with additional, curved wires in the base mat of the crockery basket, which surround the spiked base wire. The disadvantage here is that the bearing is at the same time also the point at which the piece of crockery is to be held. A stable and gentle mounting of the piece of tableware is not guaranteed. For example, if the dishes are small plates, they will protrude through the base mat of the dish rack and may be damaged by movement of a spray arm located below the wire basket in the dishwasher. In addition, the piece of tableware may come in contact with wires of the base mat of the bottom of the dish rack, whereby the piece of tableware is only kept unstable and can also be damaged.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die oben beschriebenen Nachteile zu vermeiden und eine stabile Lage eines Geschirrstücks in dem Geschirrkorb sicherzustellen, dabei Beschädigungen an dem Geschirrstück zu vermeiden und die Spülleistung und Trocknung zu verbessern. Der Geschirrkorb soll darüber hinaus flexibel in der Möglichkeit seiner Beladung sein.Object of the present invention is to avoid the disadvantages described above and to ensure a stable position of a piece of tableware in the dish rack, thereby avoiding damage to the piece of tableware and to improve the flushing performance and drying. The dish basket should also be flexible in the possibility of its loading.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch einen Geschirrkorb und eine Geschirrspülmaschine mit den Merkmalen der unabhängigen Patentansprüche.The object is achieved by a crockery basket and a dishwasher with the features of the independent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß weist ein Geschirrkorb einer Geschirrspülmaschine zur Aufnahme von Geschirrstücken einen Boden sowie Seitenteile auf, welche den Boden umrahmen. An dem Boden ist mindestens eine Stachelreihe für die Halterung der Geschirrstücke angeordnet. Die Stachelreihe besteht aus mindestens einem Stachelbasisdraht und mindestens einer daran befestigten Stachelreihe aus einzelnen Stacheldrähten. Die einzelnen Stacheldrähte sind in einem vorgegebenen Abstand von dem Stachelbasisdraht mit einem Verbindungsdraht verbunden. Der Verbindungsdraht ist im aufgestellten Zustand der Stachelreihe vom Boden beabstandet. Der Boden besteht aus einer Basismatte aus Draht und der Stachelbasisdraht ist mit seinen Enden mittels jeweils einem Drehlagerelement an dem Boden beziehungsweise der Basismatte angeordnet. Ferner ist eines der Drehlagerelemente ein Loslager und das andere Drehlagerelement ein Festlager für den Stachelbasisdraht.According to the invention, a crockery basket of a dishwasher for holding crockery pieces has a base and side parts which frame the floor. At least one row of spikes for holding the pieces of tableware is arranged at the bottom. The spine row consists of at least one spiked base wire and at least one spiked row of individual barbed wires attached thereto. The individual barbed wires are connected to a connecting wire at a predetermined distance from the barbed base wire. The connecting wire is spaced in the erected state of the spiked row from the ground. The bottom consists of a base mat made of wire and the spiked base wire is arranged with its ends by means of a respective rotary bearing element on the floor or the base mat. Furthermore, one of the rotary bearing elements is a floating bearing and the other rotary bearing element is a fixed bearing for the spiked base wire.

Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung wird für die Halterung des Geschirrstücks zwischen den Stacheldrähten ohne Zusatzdrähte oder Zusatzteile auf eine einfache und kostengünstige Weise ein Abstand eines Geschirrstücks von dem Boden eines Geschirrkorbs bewirkt. Die Geschirrstücke werden nicht in der Ebene des Bodens gehalten, sondern in einer darüber liegenden Ebene, wodurch nach unten ragende Teile der Geschirrstücke innerhalb des Geschirrkorbs verbleiben. Hierdurch wird sowohl eine stabile Lagerung der Geschirrstücke und damit wiederum Schutz vor Beschädigung erzielt als auch vermieden, dass die Geschirrstücke außerhalb des Geschirrkorbs durch bewegte Teile innerhalb der Geschirrspülmaschine beschädigt werden. Außerdem wird vermieden, dass die Geschirrstücke beim Aus- und Einschieben des Geschirrkorbs in beziehungsweise aus der Geschirrspülmaschine an Gehäuseteilen der Geschirrspülmaschine anstoßen und hierdurch beschädigt werden könnten.With the present invention, a distance of a piece of tableware from the bottom of a dish rack is effected for the holder of the piece of crockery between the barbed wires without additional wires or accessories in a simple and cost-effective manner. The pieces of crockery are not held in the plane of the floor, but in an overlying level, leaving downwardly projecting parts of the crockery within the crockery basket. As a result, both a stable storage of the pieces of crockery and thus again protection against damage is achieved and avoided that the pieces of crockery outside the Crockery basket can be damaged by moving parts inside the dishwasher. In addition, it is avoided that the utensils during removal and insertion of the dish rack in or out of the dishwasher to housing parts of the dishwasher abut and thus could be damaged.

Die erfindungsgemäße Halterung der Geschirrstücke in den Stachelreihen wird ohne wesentlichen zusätzlichen Aufwand bei der Herstellung des Geschirrkorbs erzielt. Durch den Verbindungsdraht wird die Stelle, an welcher die Geschirrstücke gehalten werden, gegenüber dem Boden abgehoben. Gleichzeitig wird die Stachelreihe über den auf dem Boden des Geschirrkorbs aufliegenden Stachelbasisdraht abgestützt. Auch bei schweren Geschirrstücken wird ein Durchbiegen der Stachelreihe nach unten vermieden. Werden die Geschirrstücke zumindest teilweise auf dem Verbindungsdraht aufgestellt und gehalten, so ragen diese Geschirrstücke, insbesondere kleine Teller, in den Bereich zwischen Verbindungsdraht und Stachelbasisdraht beziehungsweise Boden, aber nicht bis unterhalb des Bodens. Sie sind somit gegen eine Beschädigung von unten geschützt. Üblicherweise werden die Geschirrstücke durch zwei gleichartig ausgebildete Stachelreihen gehalten, wobei jedes einzelne Geschirrstück auf zwei parallel verlaufenden Verbindungsdrähten und zwischen insgesamt vier Stacheldrähten angeordnet werden. Das Geschirrstück wird somit oberhalb des Bodens gehalten. Vorzugsweise ist zumindest ein Ende des Stachelbasisdrahts gekantet, das heißt gebogen und an dem Boden drehbar gelagert. Diese zweckmäßige Art der Befestigung des Stachelbasisdrahts an dem Boden erzeugt eine gegenüber dem Boden in vorteilhafter Weise klappbare Stachelreihe in dem Geschirrkorb. Der Geschirrkorb selbst wird hierdurch vielseitig einsetzbar. Bei aufgestellten Stachelreihen können beispielsweise Teller oder Schälchen geordnet und zur besseren Reinigung und Vermeidung von Beschädigungen beabstandet zwischen den Stacheldrähten aufgenommen werden. Zur Reinigung von größeren Geschirrstücken kann die Stachelreihe weggeklappt werden und somit Platz zur Aufnahme von beispielsweise Töpfen schaffen. Durch die Dreh- beziehungsweise Klapplagerung des Stachelbasisdrahts an dessen Ende wird die Halterung der Geschirrstücke nicht nachteilig beeinflusst, da die Lagerung des Stachelbasisdrahts an einer Stelle, nämlich dem Verbindungsdraht, erfolgt, die nicht gleichzeitig zur Stützung der Geschirrstücke dient. Eine Beschädigung der Geschirrstücke durch Bauteile der Lagerung wird dadurch vermieden. Insbesondere durch drehbare Lagerung der Stachelreihe kann eine flexible Einteilung des Geschirrkorbs erreicht werden.The inventive holder of the pieces of crockery in the rows of barbs is achieved without significant additional effort in the production of the crockery basket. Through the connecting wire, the point at which the pieces of crockery are held, lifted off the ground. At the same time, the row of spikes is supported by the spiked base wire resting on the bottom of the dish rack. Even with heavy pieces of cake bending of the row of spikes down is avoided. If the pieces of tableware are placed and held at least partially on the connecting wire, then these pieces of tableware, in particular small plates, protrude into the area between connecting wire and spiked base wire or ground, but not below the floor. They are thus protected against damage from below. Usually, the pieces of tableware are held by two similar trained rows of spikes, each piece of tableware are arranged on two parallel connecting wires and between a total of four barbed wires. The piece of crockery is thus held above the ground. Preferably, at least one end of the spiked base wire is canted, that is bent and rotatably mounted on the ground. This convenient way of attaching the spiked base wire to the floor will produce a spiked row of spikes in the dish rack, advantageously foldable with respect to the floor. The crockery basket itself becomes versatile. When erecting rows of spikes, for example, plates or bowls can be arranged and spaced to better cleaning and avoiding damage between the barbed wires are added. To clean larger pieces of crockery, the row of barbs can be folded away and thus create space for receiving pots, for example. By the pivotal or folding support of the spiked base wire at the end of the holder of the utensils is not adversely affected, since the storage of the spiked base wire at a location, namely the connecting wire, takes place, which does not serve to support the pieces of crockery. Damage to the dishes by Components of storage is thereby avoided. In particular, by rotatable storage of spiked row flexible classification of the dish rack can be achieved.

Alternativ dazu kann es aber auch bereits genügen, wenn die Stachelreihe im aufgestellten Zustand fest mit dem Boden verbunden ist, insbesondere an diesem fest angeschweißt, verlötet oder mit einer sonstigen Verbindungstechnik fixiert ist.Alternatively, however, it may already be sufficient if the row of spikes in the erected state is firmly connected to the ground, in particular firmly welded to it, soldered or fixed with another connection technique.

Die den Boden ausbildende Basismatte aus Draht, welche im Wesentlichen einem Drahtgitter entspricht, ist kostengünstig herstellbar und gewährleistet eine gute Zugänglichkeit an das Geschirrstück für die Reinigungsflüssigkeit sowie eine gute Trocknung des Geschirrstücks. Die Basismatte aus Draht ermöglicht eine gute Stabilität des Geschirrkorbs bei geringst möglicher Abdeckung des Geschirrstücks gegenüber der Reinigungsflüssigkeit sowie bestmöglicher Abtropfung des trocknenden Geschirrstücks.The bottom forming base mat of wire, which essentially corresponds to a wire mesh, is inexpensive to produce and ensures good accessibility to the piece of tableware for the cleaning liquid and a good drying of the piece of tableware. The base mat made of wire allows a good stability of the crockery basket with the least possible coverage of the piece of crockery compared to the cleaning liquid and the best possible dripping of the drying piece of crockery.

Das Drehlagerelement erbringt den Vorteil einer besonders einfachen Verbindung zwischen der Basismatte des Bodens und dem Stachelbasisdraht der Stachelreihe. Das Drehlagerelement kann entweder durch die Formgebung der Drähte zueinander erfolgen, oder es wird ein separates Drehlagerelement verwendet, welches mit dem Boden beziehungsweise der Basismatte verbunden wird und den Stachelbasisdraht drehbar führt. Die Stachelreihe wird damit flexibel in dem Geschirrkorb angeordnet und ermöglicht somit einerseits eine stabile Halterung der Geschirrstücke und andererseits die Schaffung eines großvolumigen Raums ohne Einteilung, in welchem auch große Geschirrstücke gelagert und gereinigt werden können.The pivot bearing element provides the advantage of a particularly simple connection between the base mat of the ground and the spiked base wire of the spiked row. The rotary bearing element can be done either by the shape of the wires to each other, or it is used a separate rotary bearing element, which is connected to the bottom or the base mat and rotatably guides the spine base wire. The spiked row is thus arranged flexibly in the dish rack and thus allows on the one hand a stable mounting of the pieces of crockery and on the other hand the creation of a large volume without disposition in which even large pieces of crockery can be stored and cleaned.

Die unterschiedlichen Drehlagerelemente, ein Loslager zur drehbaren Lagerung der Stachelreihe und ein Festlager für den Stachelbasisdraht, erbringen den Vorteil, dass entstehende Fertigungstoleranzen der Drehlagerelemente, der Befestigungsstellen der Drehlagerelemente an dem Boden beziehungsweise der Basismatte und der Stachelreihe mit dem Stachelbasisdraht einfach ausgeglichen werden.The different pivot bearing elements, a movable bearing for rotatably supporting the spiked row and a fixed bearing for the spiked base wire, provide the advantage that resulting manufacturing tolerances of the pivot bearing elements, the attachment points of the pivot bearing elements on the floor or the base mat and the row of spikes are easily compensated with the spiked base wire.

Eine besonders einfache und daher bevorzugte Befestigung des Drehlagerelements in dem Boden, insbesondere in den Drähten der Basismatte wird dadurch erzielt, dass das Drehlagerelement in Bauteile des Bodens beziehungsweise in die Drähte der Basismatte eingeclipst ist. Die Montage wird dadurch besonders erleichtert.A particularly simple and therefore preferred attachment of the rotary bearing element in the bottom, in particular in the wires of the base mat is achieved in that the rotary bearing element is clipped into components of the floor or in the wires of the base mat. The assembly is thereby particularly facilitated.

Weist das Drehlagerelement eine Raste für das Ende des Basisstacheldrahts auf, so wird die Stachelreihe in der entsprechenden Position, insbesondere in der aufrechten Stellung gehalten. Die Geschirrstücke können dadurch gut in die Stachelreihen eingeführt werden, ohne dass diese versuchen wegzuklappen. Nur bei einer beabsichtigten Drehung der Stachelreihe ist diese durch eine etwas höhere Krafteinwirkung aus der ersten gerasteten Stellung in die andere Stellung zu bewegen.If the rotary bearing element has a catch for the end of the base barbed wire, then the row of spikes is held in the corresponding position, in particular in the upright position. The pieces of crockery can thus be easily inserted into the rows of barbs without them trying to fold away. Only with an intended rotation of the spiked row is this move by a slightly higher force from the first latched position to the other position.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn zumindest ein Ende des Stachelbasisdrahts eine Einfachkantung aufweist, bei welcher vorzugsweise die Kantung im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig zu dem Stachelbasisdraht erfolgt. Das Drahtende vor der Kantung ermöglicht eine sehr einfache Verbindung mit der Drehlagerung an dem Boden, insbesondere an der Basismatte des Bodens. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Kantung an dem Ende des Stachelbasisdrahts derart erfolgt, dass das Ende des Stachelbasisdrahts im Wesentlichen rechtwinkelig zu der Ebene der Stacheldrähte angeordnet ist. Erfolgt die Kantung zudem zweckmäßigerweise in einer Richtung, welche von der Klapprichtung des Stacheldrahts abgewandt ist, so bildet das Drahtende vorteilhafter Weise einen Anschlag, über den die aufgestellte Stachelreihe, beispielsweise auf einer in dem Drehlagerelement vorgesehenen Abstützfläche abgestützt werden kann.It is advantageous if at least one end of the spiked base wire has a single edge, in which preferably the edging takes place substantially at right angles to the spike base wire. The wire end before the edging allows a very simple connection with the pivot bearing on the floor, in particular on the base mat of the floor. It is particularly advantageous if the edging takes place at the end of the spiked base wire in such a way that the end of the spiked base wire is arranged essentially at right angles to the plane of the barbed wires. If the edging expediently also occurs in a direction which faces away from the folding direction of the barbed wire, the wire end advantageously forms a stop by means of which the raised row of spikes can be supported, for example on a supporting surface provided in the rotary bearing element.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn ein Ende des Stachelbasisdrahts in einer Öse der Basismatte, insbesondere eines Querdrahts gelagert ist. Es sind nur geringe Fertigungskosten erforderlich um hierdurch eine Drehlagerstelle der Stachelreihe zu erhalten. Der Draht der Basismatte ist dabei vorzugsweise aus der Ebene des Bodens heraus und kurz danach wieder hinein gebogen. In die dadurch entstehende Öse wird das Ende des Stachelbasisdrahts gesteckt und ist in Art eines Loslagers drehbar verankert.It is particularly advantageous if one end of the spiked base wire is mounted in an eye of the base mat, in particular of a transverse wire. There are only low production costs required to thereby obtain a pivot bearing the spiked row. The wire of the base mat is preferably out of the plane of the soil and shortly thereafter bent back into it. In the resulting eyelet, the end of the spiked base wire is inserted and is rotatably anchored in the manner of a floating bearing.

Das Ende mit der Einfachkantung kann je nach Gestaltung des Drehlagerelements vorzugsweise als Festlager und gegebenenfalls als Anschlag der Stachelreihe dienen. Der Anschlag bewirkt ein zu weites Aufkippen des Stacheldrahts. Das Loslager, bei welchem das Drahtende des Stachelbasisdrahts in Längsrichtung frei beweglich bleibt, kann Toleranzen ausgleichen. Hierdurch ist ein Ausgleich der Fertigungstoleranzen der Basismatte des Geschirrkorbs und der Stachelreihe mit dem Stachelbasisdraht ermöglicht. Durch die Erhöhung der zulässigen Fertigungstoleranzen ist wiederum eine Maßnahme getroffen, um eine kostengünstige Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Geschirrkorbs zu ermöglichen.Depending on the design of the rotary bearing element, the end with the single bend can preferably serve as a fixed bearing and optionally as a stop for the row of spikes. The stop causes too much tilting of the barbed wire. The floating bearing, in which the wire end of the spiked base wire remains freely movable in the longitudinal direction, can compensate for tolerances. This makes it possible to compensate for the manufacturing tolerances of the base mat of the dish rack and the row of pricks with the prong base wire. By increasing the allowable manufacturing tolerances, in turn, a measure is taken to enable a cost-effective production of the dish rack according to the invention.

Vorteilhafterweise weisen die beiden Enden des Stachelbasisdrahts fluchtend zueinander verlaufende Bereiche auf, welche die Drehachse der Stachelreihe bilden. Besondere Bauteile oder Maßnahme sind hierdurch nicht mehr erforderlich. Die Drehung der Stachelreihen ist schon durch die Formgebung des Stachelbasisdrahts möglich.Advantageously, the two ends of the spiked base wire have mutually aligned areas which form the axis of rotation of the spiked row. Special components or measures are no longer required. The rotation of the rows of spikes is already possible by the shape of the spiked base wire.

Der Abstand des Verbindungsdrahts von dem Stachelbasisdraht beziehungsweise von dem Boden des Geschirrkorbs führt in vorteilhafter Weise zu einem Abstand der Halterungsstellen für das Geschirrstück. Das Geschirrstück wird dabei zwischen zwei Stachelreihen aufgenommen und befindet sich zwischen insgesamt vier Stacheldrähten und liegt auf den beiden Verbindungsdrähten der Stachelreihen auf. Durch den Abstand des Verbindungsdrahts von dem Boden des Geschirrkorbs wird vorteilhafterweise bewirkt, dass ein darin aufgenommenes Geschirrstück, insbesondere ein Teller, den Boden des Geschirrkorbs beziehungsweise die Basismatte nicht berührt oder gar durch diese hindurchragt. Das Geschirrstück wird hierdurch stabil aufgenommen und zudem vor Beschädigung geschützt.The distance of the connecting wire from the spine base wire or from the bottom of the dish basket advantageously leads to a distance of the support locations for the piece of tableware. The piece of crockery is picked up between two rows of spikes and is located between a total of four barbed wires and rests on the two connecting wires of the rows of spikes. By the distance of the connecting wire from the bottom of the dish basket is advantageously causes a dishware picked up therein, in particular a plate, the bottom of the dish basket or the base mat is not touched or even protrudes through it. The piece of crockery is thereby stably absorbed and also protected from damage.

Vorzugsweise sind die Stacheldrähte in Bezug auf den Stachelbasisdraht schräg ausgerichtet. Hierdurch wird die Aufnahme von voluminösen Geschirrstücken erleichtert und durch eine Schrägstellung der Geschirrstücke sowohl die Reinigung als auch die Trocknung der Geschirrstücke verbessert. Durch die Schrägstellung der Geschirrstücke entstehen keine oder nur wenige Stellen an dem Geschirrstück, welche horizontal verlaufen, so dass das Wasser schnell und ohne Trockenspuren zu hinterlassen ablaufen kann.Preferably, the barbed wires are obliquely aligned with respect to the barbed base wire. As a result, the inclusion of voluminous pieces of crockery is facilitated and improved by an inclination of the crockery both the cleaning and the drying of the crockery. The skewing of the pieces of crockery creates no or only a few places on the piece of crockery, which run horizontally, so that the water can drain off quickly and without leaving any traces of dry.

Eine Geschirrspülmaschine mit einem oben beschriebenen Geschirrkorb ist kostengünstig herstellbar und liefert ein sehr gutes Reinigungs- und Trocknungsergebnis der darin befindlichen Geschirrstücke.A dishwasher with a crockery basket described above is inexpensive to produce and provides a very good cleaning and drying results of the crockery contained therein.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion des Geschirrkorbs wird insbesondere durch Herstellen eines Abstands eines Geschirrstücks von der Basismatte eines Geschirrkorbs vermieden, dass an dem Geschirrstück undefinierte Anlagestellen entstehen, wodurch die Spülleistung und Trocknung verbessert wird. Während bei vergleichbaren Geschirrspülmaschinen ein Abstand mittels Zusatzdrähten beziehungsweise Zusatzteilen hergestellt wird, welche durch deren Einbringen in den Besteckkorb die Kosten erhöhen, wird mit der vorliegenden Erfindung ein kostengünstiger und zuverlässiger Geschirrkorb geschaffen. Die Erfindung beschreibt eine flexible Stachelreihe eines Geschirrkorbs, mit der es möglich ist, ohne Verwendung von zusätzlichen Drähten, Geschirrstücke von einer Basismatte abzuheben und Anlagestellen zu verhindern. Der Abstand wird vorzugsweise durch den Verbindungsdraht, der die Stacheldrähte verbindet, realisiert.Due to the construction of the crockery basket according to the invention, in particular by establishing a distance of a piece of crockery from the base mat of a crockery basket, undefined contact points are formed on the crockery, whereby the flushing performance and drying is improved. While in comparable dishwashers a distance is made by means of additional wires or additional parts, which increase their cost by introducing them into the cutlery basket, a cost-effective and reliable dish rack is created with the present invention. The invention describes a flexible row of spikes of a dish rack with which it is possible, without the use of additional wires, to lift pieces of crockery from a base mat and to prevent contact points. The distance is preferably realized by the connecting wire connecting the barbed wires.

Die Stachelreihe hat in einer bevorzugten Ausführung an zumindest einem Ende eine Kantung.In a preferred embodiment, the spiked row has an edging at at least one end.

Vorteilhaft bei der erfindungsgemäßen Konstruktion ist insbesondere die vereinfachte Herstellung, welche in die Stachelfertigung integriert ist und nur einen geringen Zusatzaufwand zum Kanten beziehungsweise Biegen der Drahtenden erfordert. Es ist kein zusätzlicher gebogener beziehungsweise gekanteter Draht notwendig, wodurch eine Zeit- und Kostenersparnis im Vergleich zu bekannten Lösungen erzielt wird.An advantage of the construction according to the invention is in particular the simplified production, which is integrated into the sting production and requires only a small additional effort for edging or bending of the wire ends. There is no additional bent or canted wire necessary, whereby a time and cost savings compared to known solutions is achieved.

Um den flexiblen Stachel in Position zu halten, werden gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung vorzugsweise Elemente an dem Anfang und/oder an dem Ende der Stachelreihe vorgesehen, die insbesondere ein Rasten in der aufrechten und/oder geklappten Position sicherstellen. Gegebenenfalls kann dabei in vorteilhafter Weise ein Rastelement dabei als Festlager und ein Element als Loslager dienen, um entstehende Fertigungstoleranzen auszugleichen. Gemäß einer zweckmäßigen Weiterbildung kann eine Kantung des Stachelbasisdrahts des Weiteren vorteilhafter Weise eine Reduzierung einer Torsion der Stachelreihe bewirken, da sich der Draht an dem Lager abstützt. Beim Einführen von eigentlich zu großen Geschirrstücken in die Stachelreihen wird dadurch ein unzulässiges Wegklappen der Stachelreihen nach außen vermieden.In order to hold the flexible spike in position, preferably elements are provided at the beginning and / or at the end of the spike row, which in particular ensure a locking in the upright and / or folded position. Optionally, in this case advantageously a locking element serve as a fixed bearing and an element as a floating bearing to compensate for manufacturing tolerances. According to an expedient development, an edging of the spiked base wire can furthermore advantageously bring about a reduction of a torsion of the spiked row, since the wire supported on the camp. When inserting actually too large pieces of crockery in the rows of barbs an impermissible folding away the rows of barbs is avoided to the outside.

Sonstige Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen wiedergegeben.Other developments of the invention are given in the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung und ihre Weiterbildungen sowie deren weiteren Vorteile sind in den nachfolgenden Ausführungsbeispielen beschrieben.The invention and its developments and their further advantages are described in the following embodiments.

They each show schematically

Die Fig. 1 ist ein schematisch dargestellter Schnitt durch einen erfindungsgemäß konstruierten Geschirrkorb 1. Der Geschirrkorb 1 besteht aus einer Basismatte 2, welche den Boden des Gitterkorbs 1 bildet. Der Boden ist von Seitenteilen 3.1, 3.2 und 3.3 umrahmt. Ein viertes Seitenteil ist nicht dargestellt. Die Seitenteile 3.1, 3.2 und 3.3 bestehen ebenso wie die Basismatte 2 des Bodens aus kreuzweise miteinander verbundenen Drähten. Diese Drähte bewirken eine geringe Abschirmung der zu reinigenden Geschirrstücke und dadurch auch eine sehr gute Trocknung der Geschirrstücke, da sich kein Stauwasser bildet. Ein Geschirrstück 4 ist schematisch in dem Geschirrkorb 1 dargestellt.The Fig. 1 is a schematically illustrated section through an inventively constructed crockery basket 1. The crockery basket 1 consists of a base mat 2, which forms the bottom of the mesh basket 1. The floor is framed by side panels 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. A fourth side part is not shown. The side parts 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 are made as well as the base mat 2 of the floor of cross-connected wires. These wires cause little shielding of the dishes to be cleaned and thus a very good drying of the dishes, since no backwater forms. A piece of tableware 4 is shown schematically in the dish rack 1.

Die Basismatte 2 besteht aus Längsdrähten 2.1 und Querdrähten 2.2a bis 2.2d. Zur Aufnahme von Geschirrstücken 4 ist eine Stachelreihe 5 vorgesehen. Die Stachelreihe 5 besteht aus einer Vielzahl von Stacheldrähten 5.1, welche an einem Stachelbasisdraht 5.2 befestigt sind. Der Stacheldraht 5.1 ist im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel rechtwinklig an dem Stachelbasisdraht 5.2 befestigt, insbesondere angeschweißt, und im weiteren Verlauf hierzu schräg abgewinkelt. Der Stacheldraht kann auch schräg an dem Stachelbasisdraht befestigt sein. Durch die Abwinkelung wird bewirkt, dass das Geschirrstück 4 schräg gehaltert wird, so dass sich kein Stauwasser an dem Geschirrstück 4 bildet und somit keine Trocknungsflecken entstehen. Vorzugsweise sind alle wesentlichen Flächen des gehaltenen Geschirrstücks 4 um einen Winkel von ca. 30° gegenüber der Horizontalen geneigt, so dass das Wasser gut von dem Geschirrstück 4 abfließen kann. Das Geschirrstück 4 ist zwischen zwei Stacheldrähten 5.1 einer Stachelreihe 5 gehalten. Es stützt sich dabei weiterhin auf einem Verbindungsdraht 5.3 ab. Der Verbindungsdraht 5.3 verbindet die Reihe der Stacheldrähte 5.1 miteinander. Er verläuft im Wesentlichen parallel zu dem Stachelbasisdraht 5.1 und in einem Abstand A hierzu.The base mat 2 consists of longitudinal wires 2.1 and cross wires 2.2a to 2.2d. For receiving pieces of crockery 4 a spiked row 5 is provided. The spine row 5 consists of a plurality of barbed wires 5.1, which are attached to a spine base wire 5.2. In the present exemplary embodiment, the barbed wire 5.1 is fastened at right angles to the barbed base wire 5.2, in particular welded, and angled obliquely thereafter. The barbed wire may also be attached obliquely to the spine base wire. The angling causes the piece of crockery 4 to be held at an angle, so that no backwash water forms on the crockery piece 4 and thus no drying stains are formed. Preferably, all essential surfaces of the held piece of kitchenware 4 inclined at an angle of about 30 ° relative to the horizontal, so that the water can flow well from the piece of tableware 4. The piece of tableware 4 is held between two barbed wires 5.1 of a row of spikes 5. It continues to rely on a connecting wire 5.3. The connecting wire 5.3 connects the row of barbed wires 5.1 together. It runs substantially parallel to the spine base wire 5.1 and at a distance A thereto.

Der Stachelbasisdraht 5.2 ist an einem Ende gekantet. Die Enden sind ihrerseits an dem Boden über Drehlagerelemente 6.1 und 6.2 drehbar gelagert. Das Drehlagerelement 6.2 ist als Festlager und das Drehlagerelement 6.1 ist als Loslager ausgebildet.The spine base wire 5.2 is canted at one end. The ends are in turn rotatably mounted on the floor via pivot bearing elements 6.1 and 6.2. The rotary bearing element 6.2 is a fixed bearing and the rotary bearing element 6.1 is designed as a floating bearing.

Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel endet der Stachelbasisdraht 5.2 an seinem linken Endstück 5.2a geradlinig. Das Endstück 5.2a ist in dem Loslager 6.1 drehbar und längs beweglich gelagert. Hierdurch sind Fertigungstoleranzen der einzelnen Teile des Geschirrkorbs 1 ausgleichbar. Das Drehlagerelement 6.1 besteht aus einer dreifachen Kantung des Querdrahts 2.2a der Basismatte 2, welcher hierdurch eine Öse erzeugt, in die das Endstück 5.2a gesteckt ist. Das Endstück 5.2a ist in der Öse drehbar gelagert.In the present embodiment, the spiked base wire 5.2 ends straight at its left end piece 5.2a. The end piece 5.2a is rotatably mounted in the floating bearing 6.1 and longitudinally movable. As a result, manufacturing tolerances of the individual parts of the dish rack 1 can be compensated. The rotary bearing element 6.1 consists of a triple edging of the transverse wire 2.2a of the base mat 2, which thereby produces an eyelet into which the end piece 5.2a is inserted. The end piece 5.2a is rotatably mounted in the eyelet.

An dem anderen Ende des Stachelbasisdrahts 5.2 befindet sich bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel eine Einfachkantung. Der Stachelbasisdraht 5.2 vor dem Endstück 5.2b bildet eine Drehachse für die Stachelreihe 5. Es ist in einem Festlager 6.2 drehbar angeordnet und positioniert dadurch die Stachelreihe 5 in Längsrichtung. Das Drehlagerelement 6.2 ist mit dem Boden, hier mit dem Querdraht 2.2d der Basismatte 2, verbunden, insbesondere eingeclipst. Durch diese Bauweise mit einem Loslager 6.1 und einem Festlager 6.2 können Toleranzen von mehreren Millimetern ausgeglichen werden, welche für die Funktion der Stachelreihe 5 nicht wesentlich sind, die Fertigung des Geschirrkorbs 1 und der Stachelreihe 5 allerdings wesentlich vereinfacht und kostengünstiger durchführen lässt.At the other end of the spiked base wire 5.2 is in the present embodiment, a single bend. The spiked base wire 5.2 in front of the end piece 5.2b forms an axis of rotation for the spiked row 5. It is rotatably arranged in a fixed bearing 6.2 and thereby positions the spiked row 5 in the longitudinal direction. The rotary bearing element 6.2 is connected to the bottom, in this case with the transverse wire 2.2d of the base mat 2, in particular clipped. By this design with a floating bearing 6.1 and a bearing 6.2 tolerances of several millimeters can be compensated, which are not essential for the function of the row of spikes 5, however, the production of the dish rack 1 and the spiked row 5 can be much simpler and cheaper to perform.

Die Kantung, welche in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel in einer Ebene rechtwinkelig zu der Ebene der Stacheldrähte 5.1 erfolgt, bewirkt, dass das Endstück 5.2b aus der Zeichenebene heraus gebogen ist. In aufgestellter Position der Stachelreihe 5 liegt das Endstück 5.2e auf einer Auflage des Drehlagerelements 6.2 auf und bildet einen Anschlag 7. Die Stachelreihe 5 kann nur soweit aufgestellt werden, wie es der Anschlag 7 und das Endstück 5.2b zulassen. Ein Klappen der Stachelreihe 5 ist nur in einer Richtung möglich, wenn das Endstück 5.2b sich von dem Anschlag 7 an dem Drehlagerelement 6.2 weg bewegt. Damit ist gewährleistet, dass ein zu weites Aufklappen der Stachelreihe 5 vermieden wird.The edging, which in this embodiment takes place in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the barbed wires 5.1, causes the end piece 5.2b from the Drawing plane is bent out. In the erected position of the row of spikes 5, the end piece 5.2e rests on a support of the rotary bearing element 6.2 and forms a stop 7. The spiked row 5 can only be set up as far as the stop 7 and the end piece 5.2b allow. A flaps of the row of spikes 5 is possible only in one direction when the end piece 5.2b moves away from the stop 7 on the rotary bearing element 6.2. This ensures that too wide unfolding of the row of barbs 5 is avoided.

Das Endstück 5.2b ist in der Position, in der es an dem Anschlag 7 anliegt mittels einer Raste 8 gesichert. Nur durch eine bewusste Kraftaufbringung überwindet das Endstück 5.2b diese Raste 8 und erlaubt das Klappen der Stachelreihe 5.The end piece 5.2 b is secured in the position in which it rests against the stop 7 by means of a catch 8. Only by a deliberate application of force over the end piece 5.2b this catch 8 and allows the folding of the row of spines. 5

Der Verbindungsdraht 5.3 ist so angeordnet, dass er parallel zu dem Boden beziehungsweise der Basismatte 2 verläuft. Insbesondere durch den Abstand A zwischen dem Stachelbasisdraht 5.2 und dem Verbindungsdraht 5.3 wird bewirkt, dass Geschirrstücke 4, welche zur Aufnahme in der Stachelreihe 5 vorgesehen sind, keinen Kontakt mit der Basismatte 2 beziehungsweise dem Boden erhalten und auch nicht durch die Basismatte 2 beziehungsweise den Boden hindurchragen. Hierdurch wird gewährleistet, dass zum Beispiel Sprüharme, welche sich unterhalb der Basismatte 2 bewegen, nicht in Kontakt mit dem Geschirrstück 4 geraten und damit zu einer Beschädigung des Geschirrstücks 4 führen könnten. Außerdem wird durch die Verwendung zweier parallel angeordneter Stachelreihen 5 eine stabile Aufnahme des Geschirrstücks 4 bewirkt, wie in den folgenden Figuren noch näher ausgeführt werden wird.The connecting wire 5.3 is arranged so that it runs parallel to the bottom or the base mat 2. In particular, by the distance A between the spiked base wire 5.2 and the connecting wire 5.3 is caused that pieces of tableware 4, which are intended to be included in the spiked row 5, no contact with the base mat 2 or the floor and not through the base mat 2 and the floor protrude. This ensures that, for example, spray arms that move below the base mat 2, do not get in contact with the piece of tableware 4 and thus could lead to damage of the piece of tableware 4. In addition, a stable reception of the piece of tableware 4 is effected by the use of two parallel rows of spikes 5, as will be explained in more detail in the following figures.

In der Fig. 2 ist dementsprechend eine Ansicht quer zur Darstellung der Fig. 1 in einem Ausschnitt dargestellt. Es ist dabei das Geschirrstück 4, hier ein Teller, gezeigt, welcher auf zwei parallel verlaufenden Verbindungsdrähten 5.3 aufgelagert ist. Das Geschirrstück 4 stützt sich weiterhin an den Stacheldrähten 5.1 der beiden Stachelreihen 5 ab. Die Verbindungsdrähte 5.3 befinden sich im Abstand A von dem Stachelbasisdraht 5.2, um zu vermeiden, dass das Geschirrstück 4 in Kontakt mit dem Querdraht 2.2d gerät. Der Abstand kann je nach Ausführung und Anordnung der Stachelreihe 5 in Bezug auf die Querdrähte 2.2a bis 2.2d beziehungsweise den Längsdrähten 2.1 als Abstand zwischen dem Verbindungsdraht 5.3 und dem Längsdraht 2.1 oder als Abstand zwischen dem Verbindungsdraht 5.3 und dem Querdraht 2.2a bis 2.2d bestimmt sein. Wesentlich ist in jedem Fall, dass kein Kontakt zwischen dem vorgesehenen Geschirrstück 4 und einem der Längsdrähte und Querdrähte 2.1, 2.2 erfolgt.In the Fig. 2 is accordingly a view across the representation of Fig. 1 shown in a section. It is the piece of tableware 4, here a plate shown, which is superimposed on two parallel connecting wires 5.3. The piece of tableware 4 is still supported on the barbed wires 5.1 of the two rows of spikes 5. The connecting wires 5.3 are located at a distance A from the spine base wire 5.2, to avoid that the piece of tableware 4 comes in contact with the cross wire 2.2d. The distance can, depending on the design and arrangement of the row of spikes 5 with respect to the transverse wires 2.2a to 2.2d or the longitudinal wires 2.1 as a distance between the connecting wire 5.3 and the longitudinal wire 2.1 or as a distance between the connecting wire 5.3 and the Cross wire 2.2a to 2.2d be determined. It is essential in any case that no contact between the intended piece of crockery 4 and one of the longitudinal wires and transverse wires 2.1, 2.2 takes place.

Der Stachelbasisdraht 5.2 ist an seinem Ende abgekantet und bildet dadurch einen Lagerbolzen für das Drehlagerelement 6.2 und ein Endstück 5.2b für den Anschlag 7 aus. Der Anschlag 7 wirkt mit dem Endstück 5.2b in aufgeklappter Position der Stachelreihe 5 zusammen. In gestrichelter Darstellung ist die rechte Stachelreihe 5 in nicht vollständig geklappter Position dargestellt. Das Endstück 5.2b wandert dabei aus einer horizontalen in eine vertikale Position, während die Stacheldrähte 5.1 horizontal zu liegen kommen. Eine Raste 8 kann für eine feste Endstellung sowohl in aufgeklappter als auch in abgeklappter Position vorgesehen sein.The spiked base wire 5.2 is bent at its end and thereby forms a bearing pin for the rotary bearing element 6.2 and an end piece 5.2b for the stop 7. The stopper 7 cooperates with the end piece 5.2b in the unfolded position of the row of spikes 5. In dashed line the right row of spikes 5 is shown in not fully folded position. The tail 5.2b migrates from a horizontal to a vertical position, while the barbed wires 5.1 come to lie horizontally. A catch 8 can be provided for a fixed end position both in the unfolded and in the folded-down position.

Die Fig. 3 zeigt eine schematische perspektivische Darstellung eines Ausschnitts aus einem erfindungsgemäßen Geschirrkorb 1. Es sind wieder die beiden im Wesentlichen parallel verlaufenden Stachelreihen 5 dargestellt. Jede Stachelreihe 5 weist einen Stachelbasisdraht 5.2 auf, an welchem eine Vielzahl von Stacheldrähten 5.1 befestigt sind. Die Enden des Stachelbasisdrahts 5.2 sind auf einer Seite mit einer Kantung versehen und laufen auf der anderen Seite gerade aus. Hierdurch wird auf der Seite der Einfachkantung ein Anschlag in horizontaler Richtung durch das Zusammenwirken mit dem Festlager 6.2 und auf der anderen Seite mittels des geraden Endes eine längenveränderliche Befestigung durch das Loslager 6.1, welche eine Öse des Querdrahts 2.2a ist, erzeugt. Fertigungstoleranzen werden durch diese beiden unterschiedlichen Lagerungen 6.1 und 6.2 ausgeglichen. Das Drehlagerelement 6.2 ist in dem Kreuzungspunkt der Querdrähte 2.2d und der Längsdrähte 2.1 angeordnet. Hierdurch wird eine stabile Befestigung der Lagerungen in dem Geschirrkorb 1 erhalten. Die Endstücke 5.2b sind in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel beidseitig von dem Drehlagerelement 6.2 geführt. Mittels der Raste 8 sind sie in ihrer Lage gehalten.The Fig. 3 shows a schematic perspective view of a section of a crockery basket according to the invention 1. It again the two substantially parallel rows of spikes 5 are shown. Each spine row 5 has a spiked base wire 5.2 to which a plurality of barbed wires 5.1 are attached. The ends of the spiked base wire 5.2 are edged on one side and straight on the other side. As a result, a stop in the horizontal direction by the interaction with the fixed bearing 6.2 and on the other side by means of the straight end on the side of the single edge a variable-length attachment by the floating bearing 6.1, which is an eye of the cross wire 2.2a generated. Manufacturing tolerances are compensated by these two different bearings 6.1 and 6.2. The rotary bearing element 6.2 is disposed at the intersection of the transverse wires 2.2d and the longitudinal wires 2.1. As a result, a stable attachment of the bearings in the dish rack 1 is obtained. The end pieces 5.2b are guided on both sides of the rotary bearing element 6.2 in this embodiment. By means of the catch 8 they are held in position.

Die Stachelreihe 5 wird flexibel an dem Boden, hier an der Basismatte 2, angeordnet. Zwischen zwei Stachelreihen 5 ist das Geschirrstück 4 durch die Stacheldrähte 5.1 und die Verbindungsdrähte 5.3 gehalten. Ein Kontakt mit dem Boden des Geschirrkorbs 1 wird durch den Abstand der Verbindungsdrähte 5.3 von dem Boden des Geschirrkorbs 1 bei Verwendung der vorgesehenen Geschirrstücke 4 vermieden. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 3 werden die beiden Stachelreihen 5 in dieselbe Richtung, also nicht aufeinander zu geklappt. Dies kann insbesondere bei kleinen Abständen der Stachelreihen 5 zueinander und langen Stacheldrähten 5.1 von Vorteil sein.The spiked row 5 is flexibly arranged on the floor, here on the base mat 2. Between two rows of spikes 5, the piece of tableware 4 is held by the barbed wires 5.1 and the connecting wires 5.3. Contact with the bottom of the crockery basket 1 is determined by the distance of the connecting wires 5.3 from the bottom of the crockery basket 1 when using the provided crockery pieces 4 avoided. In the embodiment of the Fig. 3 be the two rows of spikes 5 in the same direction, so not folded towards each other. This can be particularly advantageous for small distances of the rows of spikes 5 to each other and long barbed wires 5.1.

Die vorliegende Erfindung ist nicht auf die dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt. Insbesondere sind gleichartige Abkantungen an den Enden der Stachelbasisdrähte möglich. Vorteilhaft ist insbesondere, dass kein zusätzlicher gebogener oder gekanteter Draht erforderlich ist, sondern dass der Abstand durch mehrere übereinander verlaufende Drähte an der Stachelreihe erzielt wird. Hierdurch wird eine einfache Herstellung, welche voll- oder teilautomatisiert in die Stachelfertigung integriert ist, bei nur geringem Zeitaufwand zum Kanten beziehungsweise Biegen der Drahtenden und damit eine deutliche Kostenersparnis im Vergleich zu bekannten Stachelreihen erreicht. Die Halterung der Geschirrstücke erfolgt erfindungsgemäß in einem Abstand zu dem Basisgeschirrkorb, wodurch eine gute Reinigung und Trocknung bei gleichzeitiger stabiler Halterung der Geschirrstücke erreicht wird.The present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments. In particular, similar bends are possible at the ends of the spine base wires. It is particularly advantageous that no additional curved or canted wire is required, but that the distance is achieved by a plurality of wires extending one above the other at the spiked row. As a result, a simple production, which is fully or partially automated integrated into the sting production, with only a small amount of time to edge or bending of the wire ends and thus a significant cost savings compared to known rows of spikes achieved. The holder of the pieces of crockery according to the invention is carried out at a distance from the base crockery basket, whereby a good cleaning and drying while maintaining stable support of the crockery pieces is achieved.

Alternativ zur klappbeweglichen Anbindung der Stachelreihe kann es ggf. genügen, diese im aufgestellten Zustand fest an dem Boden anzubringen. Insbesondere kann sie an diesem fest angeschweißt, verlötet oder mit einer sonstigen Verbindungstechnik fixiert sein.As an alternative to the hinged connection of the spiked row, it may be sufficient to fix it to the floor in the erected state. In particular, it can be welded firmly to this, soldered or fixed with another connection technique.
