Wird Silberbesteck über längere Zeit liegen gelassen oder kommt es in Kontakt mit bestimmten Lebensmitteln, so läuft die Oberfläche des Silberbestecks an, das heißt die Silberbesteck-Oberfläche verfärbt sich unter Bildung einer Silbersulfidschicht.If silver cutlery is left for a long time or comes into contact with certain foods, the surface of the silver cutlery starts to run, that is, the silver cutlery surface discolors to form a silver sulfide layer.

Aus der Druckschrift WO 99/19541 A1 ist ein Besteckkorbsystem für eine Geschirrspülmaschine, insbesondere Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine, bekannt. Das Besteckkorbsystem umfasst einen Besteckkorb, der mit mindestens einem Besteckteil bestückbar ist, das mit einem in dem Besteckkorb angeordneten Einsatzteil aus Aluminium in Anlage bringbar ist. Das in dem Besteckkorb angeordnete Einsatzteil besteht somit aus einem unedleren Metall als das Metall des Besteckteils, welches beispielsweise Silber sein kann. Der Besteckkorb des Besteckkorbsystems ist an einer seiner Seitenwände mit einer Auslassöffnung versehen, die mit Hilfe eines verstellbaren Schließteils in Form einer Klappe oder eines an einem Seitenwandstutzen angeordneten Schiebers verschließbar ist.From the publication WO 99/19541 A1 is a cutlery basket system for a dishwasher, in particular household dishwasher, known. The cutlery basket system comprises a cutlery basket which can be equipped with at least one piece of cutlery which can be brought into contact with an insert part of aluminum arranged in the cutlery basket. The insert part arranged in the cutlery basket thus consists of a less noble metal than the metal of the cutlery part, which may be silver, for example. The cutlery basket of the cutlery basket system is provided on one of its side walls with an outlet opening which can be closed by means of an adjustable closing part in the form of a flap or a slide arranged on a side wall stub.

Aus der Druckschrift DE 1 977 115 U ist ein Einsatzkorb für Geschirrspülmaschinen, bestehend aus Kunststoff oder mit Kunststoff überzogenem Metall bekannt, welcher einen oder mehrere Aluminiumeinsätze in Gestalt eines gelochten Blechs aufweist. Auf diese Weise werden silberne Besteckteile in metallischen Kontakt mit Aluminium oder einer Aluminiumlegierung gebracht, wodurch Oberflächenverfärbungen an silbernen oder versilberten Essbestecken vermieden beziehungsweise behoben werden können.From the publication DE 1 977 115 U is an insert basket for dishwashers, consisting of plastic or plastic coated metal known, which has a or more aluminum inserts in the form of a perforated plate. In this way, silver cutlery parts are brought into metallic contact with aluminum or an aluminum alloy, whereby surface discoloration on silver or silvered cutlery can be avoided or eliminated.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein verbessertes Besteckkorbsystem für eine Geschirrspülmaschine, insbesondere Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine, mit einem Besteckkorb bereitzustellen.The object of the invention is to provide an improved cutlery basket system for a dishwasher, in particular household dishwasher, with a cutlery basket.

Erfindungsgemäß kann die mindestens eine in der Bodenwand des Besteckkorbs angeordnete Auslassöffnung mit Hilfe eines verstellbaren Schließteils verschlossen und geöffnet werden, wobei das Schließteil in der Ebene der Bodenwand, in welcher die verschließbare Auslassöffnung vorgesehen ist, oder in einer dazu planparallelen Ebene verstellbar ist. Der zur Verstellung des Schließteils erforderliche Stellweg des Sperrelements ist in diesem Fall im Vergleich zu dem aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Schwenkweg wesentlich reduziert. Es ist daher auch bei beengten Platzverhältnissen innerhalb des Geschirrkorbs, in dem der Besteckkorb eingesetzt ist, eine zuverlässige Bedienbarkeit gegeben.According to the invention, the at least one outlet opening arranged in the bottom wall of the cutlery basket can be closed and opened by means of an adjustable closing part, the closing part being adjustable in the plane of the bottom wall in which the closable outlet opening is provided or in a plane parallel thereto. The adjustment path of the blocking element required for adjusting the closing part is substantially reduced in this case in comparison with the pivoting path known from the prior art. It is therefore given a reliable operation even in tight spaces within the dish rack, in which the cutlery basket is used.

Das verstellbare Schließteil kann in Gleitkontakt mit der Bodenwand oder der Seitenwand zwischen einer Staustellung, in der das Schließteil die mindestens eine Auslassöffnung des Besteckkorbs flüssigkeitsdicht verschließt, und einer Auslassstellung, in welcher eine in dem Besteckkorb angestaute oder gesammelte Flüssigkeit abströmen kann, verstellt werden.The adjustable closure member may be adjusted in sliding contact with the bottom wall or side wall between a stowage position in which the closure member closes the at least one outlet opening of the cutlery basket in a liquid-tight manner and an outlet position in which a liquid accumulated or collected in the cutlery basket can flow out.

Im Hinblick auf eine einfache Stellbewegung sowie auf einen einfachen Führungsmechanismus ist es gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass das Schließteil linear verstellt werden kann. Das Schließteil kann außerdem zumindest eine Durchlassöffnung aufweisen. Diese kann in der Auslassstellung des Schließteils zumindest teilweise mit der Auslassöffnung des Besteckkorbs überlagert werden, so dass in dem Überlagerungsbereich Flüssigkeit aus dem Besteckkorb austreten kann. Demgegenüber ist in der Staustellung die Durchlassöffnung außerhalb der mindestens einen Auslassöffnung des Schließteils angeordnet, so dass die Auslassöffnung/en verschlossen sind. Eine solche Ausgestaltung des Schließteils ist insbesondere bei einer perforierten Bodenwand des Besteckkorbs von Vorteil, bei der nicht nur eine, sondern eine Reihe von Auslassöffnungen vorgesehen ist. In diesem Fall kann die Lage und/oder Größe der Auslassöffnungen sowie der Durchlassöffnungen des Schließteils so aufeinander abgestimmt sein, dass bereits eine geringfügige Stellbewegung des Schließteils ausreicht, um einen Wechsel zwischen Staustellung und Auslassstellung zu bewirken.With regard to a simple adjusting movement as well as a simple guide mechanism, it is provided according to an embodiment of the invention that the closing part can be adjusted linearly. The closing part may also have at least one passage opening. This can be superimposed in the outlet position of the closing part at least partially with the outlet opening of the cutlery basket, so that liquid can escape from the cutlery basket in the overlay area. In contrast, in the stowed position, the passage opening is arranged outside the at least one outlet opening of the closing part, so that the outlet opening / s are closed. Such an embodiment of the closing part is in particular in a perforated bottom wall of the cutlery basket advantageous in which not only one, but a number of outlet openings is provided. In this case, the position and / or size of the outlet openings and the passage openings of the closing part can be matched to one another such that even a slight adjusting movement of the closing part is sufficient to effect a change between stowed position and outlet position.

Bevorzugt ist es, wenn das in den Besteckkorb eingestellte Besteck eine Stellbewegung des Schließteils nicht beeinflussen kann. Aus diesem Grund kann die Führungseinrichtung zusammen mit dem Schließteil mit Bezug auf einen Bestückungsraum des Besteckkorbs außerhalb der Besteckkorbbodenwand angeordnet sein. Somit ist das verstellbare Schließteil über die zwischengeschaltete Besteckkorbbodenwand von dem in dem Besteckkorb angeordneten Besteck separiert.It is preferred if the cutlery set in the cutlery basket can not influence an adjusting movement of the closing part. For this reason, the guide means may be arranged together with the closing part with respect to a loading space of the cutlery basket outside the cutlery basket bottom wall. Thus, the adjustable closure member is separated via the intermediate cutlery basket bottom wall of the arranged in the cutlery basket cutlery.

Die Bodenwand des Besteckkorbs kann gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung durch das Einsatzteil aus unedlem Metall gebildet sein. Das Einsatzteil kann zum Beispiel ein Aluminiumteil sein, das beispielsweise als Lochblech mit einer Reihe von Auslassöffnungen ausgebildet ist.The bottom wall of the cutlery basket can be formed by the insert part of base metal according to an embodiment of the invention. The insert may be, for example, an aluminum part, which is formed, for example, as a perforated plate with a series of outlet openings.

Der erfindungsgemäße Besteckkorb kann aus einem äußeren, kastenförmigen Kunststoffmantel bestehen, in den das Einsatzteil aus unedlem Metall eingesetzt ist. Der Kunststoffmantel ist oberseitig sowie bodenseitig im Wesentlichen offen gestaltet. Die Mantelflächen können bodenseitig mit einem nach innen abgewinkelten Randflansch abschließen, auf dem das Einsatzteil ruht. Das Einsatzteil wird somit in Einbaulage von dem Randflansch des Kunststoffmantels untergriffen.The cutlery basket according to the invention may consist of an outer, box-shaped plastic jacket into which the insert part made of base metal is inserted. The plastic jacket is designed to be substantially open at the top as well as at the bottom. The lateral surfaces can end on the bottom side with an inwardly angled edge flange on which rests the insert. The insert is thus under attack in the installed position of the edge flange of the plastic sheath.

Gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann der Besteckkorb eine Führungseinrichtung in Form von Führungsnuten aufweisen, in welchen das Schließteil geführt ist. So können zum Beispiel in dem Randflansch des Kunststoffmantels Führungsnuten vorgesehen sein, in denen das Schließteil linear verschiebbar geführt ist. In einer fertigungstechnisch besonders einfachen Ausgestaltung können diese Führungsnuten unmittelbar zwischen dem Randflansch und der Bodenwand des Besteckkorbs ausgebildet sein. In diesem Fall kann der Randflansch stufenförmig abgestuft sein, wobei die Abstufung zusammen mit der Bodenwand die Führungsnuten ausbildet.According to one embodiment of the invention, the cutlery basket may have a guide device in the form of guide grooves into which the closing part is guided. Thus, for example, be provided in the edge flange of the plastic sheath guide grooves in which the closing part is guided linearly displaceable. In a manufacturing technology particularly simple embodiment, these guide grooves can be formed directly between the edge flange and the bottom wall of the cutlery basket. In this case, the edge flange can be stepped graded, wherein the gradation forms together with the bottom wall, the guide grooves.

Für eine möglichst leichtgängige und komfortable Verstellbewegung kann zusätzlich zu den Führungsnuten eine Lageröffnung oder Durchgangsöffnung in einer der Seitenwände des Besteckkorbs vorgesehen werden, durch die das Schließteil nach außen geführt und auf diese Weise von außen manuell verstellbar ist. An dem nach außen ragenden Ende des Schließteils kann ein Betätigungsgriff angeformt sein, mit dem das Schließteil besonders komfortabel manuell verstellbar ist.For a smooth and comfortable adjusting movement, a bearing opening or passage opening in one of the side walls of the cutlery basket can be provided in addition to the guide through which the closure member is guided to the outside and in this way manually adjustable from the outside. At the outwardly projecting end of the closing part, an actuating handle may be formed, with which the closing part is particularly comfortable manually adjustable.

Zur Begrenzung eines Stellwegs des Stellteils kann mindestens ein Bewegungsanschlag vorgesehen sein. Dieser kann zum Beispiel als ein Anschlagprofil unmittelbar an dem Schließteil angeformt sein. Das Anschlagprofil des Schließteils kann außerdem mit einem entsprechenden Gegenprofil zum Beispiel in den Führungsnuten zusammenwirken, um den Stellweg zu begrenzen.To limit a travel of the control part, at least one movement stop can be provided. This can be formed, for example, as a stop profile directly on the closing part. The abutment profile of the closure member may also cooperate with a corresponding mating profile, for example in the guide grooves, to limit the travel.

Alternativ zu der oben genannten linearen Stellbewegung kann das Verschlussteil auch derart gelagert sein, dass es eine kurven- oder bogenförmige Stellbewegung ausführen kann. Insbesondere kann das Verschlussteil über einen Lagerzapfen an der Bodenwand oder Seitenwand des Besteckkorbs schwenkbar angelenkt sein, so dass es bei Betätigung in planparalleler Ausrichtung zur Bodenwand beziehungsweise zur Seitenwand verschwenkbar ist.As an alternative to the above-mentioned linear adjusting movement, the closure part can also be mounted in such a way that it can execute a curved or arcuate setting movement. In particular, the closure part can be pivoted about a bearing pin on the bottom wall or side wall of the cutlery basket, so that it is pivotable when actuated in plane-parallel alignment with the bottom wall or the side wall.

In einer besonders kompakten Ausführung kann das Verschlussteil innerhalb der Auslassöffnung des Besteckkorbs angeordnet werden. Das Verschlussteil und die die Auslassöffnung begrenzende Besteckkorbwand liegen somit in einer gemeinsamen Ebene, wodurch eine besonders raumsparende Anordnung des Schließteils realisiert wird.In a particularly compact design, the closure part can be arranged within the outlet opening of the cutlery basket. The closure part and the outlet opening limiting cutlery basket wall are thus in a common plane, whereby a particularly space-saving arrangement of the closing part is realized.

Während eines Spülgangs der Geschirrspülmaschine tritt zwischen dem unedlen Metall des Einsatzteils und dem Besteckteil, zum Beispiel dem Silberbesteckteil, eine Redoxreaktion auf, bei welcher Elektronen von dem unedleren Metall des Einsatzteils auf das Besteckteil übertragen werden. Die Elektronenaufnahme bewirkt dann an dem Besteckteil, zum Beispiel Silberbesteckteil, eine Reduktion der Anlaufschicht, zum Beispiel Silbersulfidschicht, wodurch eine Verfärbung des Besteckteils reduziert werden kann.During a rinse cycle of the dishwasher occurs between the base metal of the insert and the cutlery, for example, the silver cutlery, a redox reaction in which electrons are transferred from the baser metal of the insert on the cutlery. The electron uptake then causes a reduction of the tarnish layer on the piece of cutlery, for example silverware, for Example silver sulfide layer, whereby a discoloration of the cutlery part can be reduced.

Zur Durchführung eines Spülgangs ist das erfindungsgemäße Besteckkorbsystem in einem Geschirrkorb einer Geschirrspülmaschine anzuordnen. Das Schließteil des Besteckkorbs ist dabei in einem ersten Spülgang in der Staustellung, wodurch sich ein Flüssigkeitsbad in dem Besteckkorb aufstauen kann. Entsprechend ist ein elektrischer Kontakt zwischen dem Einsatzteil und dem darin gelagerten Besteckteil verbessert, was zu einer Beschleunigung der Reduktion der Anlaufschicht auf dem Besteckteil führt.To carry out a rinse cycle, the cutlery basket system according to the invention is to be arranged in a dish rack of a dishwasher. The closing part of the cutlery basket is in a first rinse in the stowage position, whereby a liquid bath can accumulate in the cutlery basket. Accordingly, electrical contact between the insert member and the cutlery member stored therein is improved, resulting in acceleration of the reduction of the tarnish layer on the cutlery member.

Nach Durchführung des ersten Spülgangs kann der Benutzer zur Vorbereitung eines folgenden zweiten Reinigungsspülgangs das Schließteil in die Auslassstellung verstellen, in der das aufgestaute Flüssigkeitsbad ablaufen kann und Speisereste durch die freigegebenen Auslassöffnungen ausgeschwemmt werden können.After performing the first rinse, the user can adjust the closing part in the outlet position in preparation for a subsequent second cleaning rinse, in which the pent-up liquid bath can run off and food debris can be flushed through the released outlet openings.

Unter den oben genannten ersten und zweiten Spülgängen können zwei vollständig voneinander getrennte Spülgänge verstanden werden. Alternativ dazu kann der erste Spülgang im Sinne der Erfindung ein Kurzspülgang sein, der beispielhaft nur solange andauert, bis sich genügend Spülflüssigkeit in dem Besteckkorb aufgestaut hat, die während eines Spülgangs in dem Spülraum umgewälzt wird. Anschließend kann der zweite Spülgang erfolgen, der als Hauptspülgang mit den an sich bekannten Programmschritten gestaltet ist.The above-mentioned first and second rinses can be understood to mean two completely separate rinses. Alternatively, the first rinse cycle in the context of the invention may be a short rinse cycle which, by way of example, lasts only until sufficient rinsing liquid has accumulated in the cutlery basket, which is circulated in the rinsing chamber during a rinse cycle. Subsequently, the second rinse can take place, which is designed as a main rinse with the program steps known per se.

Die oben genannten ersten und zweiten Spülgänge können auch als Teilspülgänge in einem einzigen, gemeinsamen Spülgang integriert sein. In diesem Fall kann nach Ablauf des ersten Teilspülgangs die Geschirrspülmaschine ein Hinweissignal generieren, das den Benutzer darauf hinweist, das Schließteil in seine Auslassstellung zu verschieben. Nachdem anschließend die Gerätetür der Geschirrspülmaschine wieder geschlossen ist, kann dann der zweite Teilspülgang, vorzugsweise automatisch, gestartet werden, in dem das Besteck vollständig gereinigt wird.The above-mentioned first and second rinses may also be integrated as partial rinses in a single, common rinse. In this case, after the expiry of the first partial rinsing cycle, the dishwasher can generate a warning signal, which informs the user to move the closing part into its outlet position. After then the appliance door of the dishwasher is closed again, then the second Teilspülgang, preferably automatically started, in which the cutlery is completely cleaned.

Nachfolgend sind Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung anhand der beigefügten Figuren beschrieben.Hereinafter, embodiments of the invention are described with reference to the accompanying figures.

a respective schematic representation of a cutlery basket according to the invention according to a second embodiment.

In den Figuren 1 bis 3 ist ein erfindungsgemäßes Besteckkorbsystem gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform gezeigt. Ein Besteckkorb besteht dabei im Wesentlichen aus einem äußeren, zum Beispiel quaderförmigen Kunststoffmantel 1 mit zueinander rechtwinkligen, umlaufenden Seitenwänden 2. In dem Innenraum des Kunststoffmantels 1 ist ein Einsatzteil 3 eingesetzt. Der quaderförmige Kunststoffmantel 1 ist an seiner Oberseite offen gestaltet. Bodenseitig schließt sich an den Seitenwänden 2 des Kunststoffmantels 1 ein nach innen um 90° abgewinkelter Randflansch 7 an (vergleiche Fig. 2 und Fig. 3).In the FIGS. 1 to 3 an inventive cutlery basket system according to a first embodiment is shown. A cutlery basket consists essentially of an outer, for example cuboidal plastic jacket 1 with mutually perpendicular, circumferential side walls 2. In the interior of the plastic sheath 1, an insert part 3 is inserted. The cuboid plastic jacket 1 is designed to be open at the top. Bodenseitig closes on the side walls 2 of the plastic sheath 1 an inwardly bent by 90 ° edge flange 7 (see Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 ).

Wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, ist das Einsatzteil 3 ein im Profil U-förmiges Blechteil, zum Beispiel aus Aluminium, das seitlich nach oben abgewinkelte Seitenwände 9 aufweist, die über einen horizontalen Bodenabschnitt 11 miteinander verbunden sind. Der Bodenabschnitt 11 weist eine Anzahl von Auslassöffnungen 12 auf. Der Bodenabschnitt 11 des Einsatzteils 3 bildet außerdem in der Einbaulage, wie in den Figuren 1 und 3 dargestellt, eine Bodenwand 10 des Besteckkorbs, auf welchem die Besteckteile aufliegen.As in Fig. 2 shown, the insert part 3 is a profile U-shaped sheet metal part, for example made of aluminum, which has laterally upwardly angled side walls 9, which are connected to each other via a horizontal bottom portion 11. The bottom portion 11 has a number of outlet openings 12. The bottom portion 11 of the insert part 3 also forms in the installation position, as in the FIGS. 1 and 3 represented, a bottom wall 10 of the cutlery basket on which rest the cutlery.

In der Zusammenbaulage ist das Einsatzteil 3 mit seinem Bodenabschnitt 11 auf dem bodenseitigen Randflansch 7 des Kunststoffmantels 1 abgestützt. Die beiden Seitenwände 9 des Einsatzteils 3 sind dabei mit den korrespondierenden Seitenwänden 2 des Kunststoffmantels 1 in Anlage. Der abgewinkelte Randflansch 7 ist an seinem oberen Eckbereich mit einer nach innen offenen Abstufung 13 versehen, die in einer Stützfläche 14 des Randflanschs 7 eingearbeitet ist. Auf der Stützfläche 14 ruht das Einsatzteil 3. Dadurch ergeben sich in Längsrichtung des Besteckkorbs seitliche Führungsnuten 15, die bodenseitig durch den Randflansch 7 und nach oben durch den Bodenabschnitt 11 des Einsatzteils 3 begrenzt sind. Die beiden Führungsnuten 15 sind einander zugewandt offen gestaltet, so dass sie den Rand eines als Schieber ausgebildeten Schließteils 17 lose umgreifen können und damit eine Führungseinrichtung für das Schließteil 17 bilden. Das Schließteil 17 ist somit linear bewegbar in den Führungsnuten 15 geführt.In the assembly position, the insert part 3 is supported with its bottom section 11 on the bottom-side edge flange 7 of the plastic jacket 1. The two side walls 9 of the insert part 3 are in contact with the corresponding side walls 2 of the plastic jacket 1. The angled edge flange 7 is provided at its upper corner region with an inwardly open gradation 13, which is incorporated in a support surface 14 of the edge flange 7. On the support surface 14 rests the insert part 3. This results in the longitudinal direction of the cutlery basket lateral guide grooves 15 which are bounded on the bottom side by the edge flange 7 and up through the bottom portion 11 of the insert part 3. The two guide grooves 15 are facing each other open designed so that they can loosely engage around the edge of a designed as a slide closing part 17 and thus form a guide device for the closing part 17. The closing member 17 is thus guided linearly movable in the guide grooves 15.

In der Seitenwand 2 des Kunststoffmantels 1 ist eine Durchgangsöffnung 19 in Form eines Führungsschlitzes vorgesehen, durch welche das plattenförmige Schließteil 17 nach außen ragt. Der außerhalb des Kunststoffmantels 1 befindliche Teil des Schließteils 17 weist einen nach oben abgewinkelten Befestigungsgriff 18 auf. Dadurch kann das Schließteil 17 komfortabel manuell zwischen einer, in Fig. 3 gezeigten Auslassstellung und einer Staustellung verstellt werden.In the side wall 2 of the plastic sheath 1, a passage opening 19 in the form of a guide slot is provided, through which the plate-shaped closing part 17 projects outwards. The outside of the plastic sheath 1 located part of the closing part 17 has an upwardly angled mounting handle 18. As a result, the closing part 17 can be comfortably moved manually between a, in Fig. 3 shown outlet position and a stowed position are adjusted.

Zusätzlich weist das Schließteil 17, wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, streifenförmige in der Stellrichtung hintereinander angeordnete Durchgangsöffnungen 25 auf. Diese können je nach Stellung des Schließteils 17 die in dem Bodenabschnitt 11 des Einsatzteils vorgesehenen Auslassöffnungen 12 vollständig oder teilweise überdecken oder außerhalb des Strömungsquerschnitts der Auslassöffnungen 12 angeordnet sein. Das Schließteil 17 ist dabei derart gestaltet, dass in der Staustellung die Auslassöffnungen 12 durch das Schließteil im Wesentlichen flüssigkeitsdicht verschlossen sind. Zur Erreichung eines flüssigkeitsdichten Verschlusses kann auch ein nicht dargestelltes Abdichtelement vorgesehen sein.In addition, the closing part 17, as in Fig. 2 shown, strip-shaped in the direction of adjustment successively arranged through holes 25. These can, depending on the position of the closing part 17, completely or partially cover the outlet openings 12 provided in the bottom section 11 of the insert part or be arranged outside the flow cross section of the outlet openings 12. The closing part 17 is designed in such a way that in the stowed position the outlet openings 12 are closed essentially liquid-tight by the closing part. To achieve a liquid-tight closure, a sealing element, not shown, can also be provided.

Die Auslassöffnungen 12 in dem Bodenabschnitt 11 des Einsatzteils 3 sind dabei hinsichtlich ihrer Anordnung und Größe derart ausgestaltet, dass bereits ein geringer Stellweg a ausreicht, um das Schließteil 17 von der Staustellung in die Auslassstellung zu bringen. Dabei entspricht der Stellweg in etwa dem Durchmesser der Auslassöffnungen 12 und beträgt zum Beispiel ein 1/5 oder 1/10 der Länge des gesamten Bodenabschnitts 11 in Richtung des Stellwegs a. Der Stellweg a des Schließteils 17 ist durch Bewegungsanschläge 21 und 23, welche gemeinsam ein spezielles Anschlagprofil 21, 23 bilden, begrenzt. Das Anschlagprofil ist dabei einerseits in dem Schließteil 17 und andererseits in den Führungsnuten 15 des Randflanschs 7 ausgebildet. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform weist das Anschlagprofil eine von dem Schließteil 17 nach unten abragende Erhebung 21 auf, die in einer korrespondierenden Aussparung 23 in der Führungsnut 15 geführt ist.The outlet openings 12 in the bottom portion 11 of the insert part 3 are designed with regard to their arrangement and size such that even a small travel a is sufficient to bring the closure member 17 from the stowed position to the outlet position. In this case, the travel corresponds approximately to the diameter of the outlet openings 12 and is for example a 1/5 or 1/10 of the length of the entire bottom portion 11 in the direction of the travel a. The travel a of the closing part 17 is limited by movement stops 21 and 23, which together form a special stop profile 21, 23. The stop profile is formed on the one hand in the closing part 17 and on the other hand in the guide grooves 15 of the edge flange 7. In the embodiment shown, the stop profile on a of the closing part 17 downwardly projecting elevation 21, which is guided in a corresponding recess 23 in the guide groove 15.

An den Seitenwänden 2 des quaderförmigen Kunststoffmantels 1 sind zusätzlich Rastvorsprünge 26 angeformt, über die der Besteckkorb in einem Geschirrkorb der Geschirrspülmaschine eingehängt werden kann. Zur Reinigung und Pflege von Silberbesteckteilen werden diese zunächst in den Besteckkorb eingelegt. Das Schließelement 17 ist hierbei in seiner Staustellung, in der die Auslassöffnungen 12 flüssigkeitsdicht abgedichtet sind. Anschließend kann in einem ersten Kurzspülgang ein Flüssigkeitsbad in dem flüssigkeitsdicht geschlossenen Besteckkorb aufgestaut werden. Eine bereits auf dem Silberbesteck vorhandene Anlaufschicht kann in diesem Flüssigkeitsbad beschleunigt reduziert werden. Nach erfolgtem erstem Spülgang kann der Benutzer das Schließteil 17 in seine Auslassstellung verschieben, in der das Flüssigkeitsbad durch die Auslassöffnungen in dem Lochabschnitt 11 des Einsatzteils 3 ablaufen kann. Im nunmehr folgenden zweiten Spülgang kann das von der Anlaufschicht befreite Silberbesteck von Speiseresten gereinigt werden.On the side walls 2 of the cuboid plastic jacket 1 latching projections 26 are also integrally formed, via which the cutlery basket can be hung in a dish rack of the dishwasher. For cleaning and care of silver cutlery pieces are first inserted into the cutlery basket. The closing element 17 is here in its stowed position, in which the outlet openings 12 are sealed liquid-tight. Subsequently, in a first short rinse cycle, a liquid bath can be dammed up in the liquid-tight closed cutlery basket. A start-up layer already present on the silverware can be acceleratedly reduced in this liquid bath. After the first rinse, the user can move the closing part 17 in its outlet position, in which the liquid bath can drain through the outlet openings in the hole portion 11 of the insert part 3. In the now following second rinse the freed from the tarnish silver cutlery can be cleaned of food residues.

In den Figuren 4 und 5 sind Teile einer zweiten Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Besteckkorbs gezeigt. Ein Schließteil 17' ist dabei ebenfalls als Schieber gestaltet, der zum Beispiel planparallel zu einer Bodenwand 10' des Besteckkorbs, welche abweichend von der dargestellten Ausführungsvariante auch wieder durch einen Bodenabschnitt des nicht dargestellten Einsatzteils 3 gebildet werden könnte, verschiebbar ist. Im Unterschied zur ersten Ausführungsform erfolgt die Stellbewegung nicht linear, sondern entlang eines kurven- oder bogenförmigen Schwenkwegs. Hierzu ist das Schließteil 17' über einen Lagerzapfen 31 drehbar an der Bodenwand 10' des Besteckkorbs angelenkt. Die Schwenkbewegung des Schließteils 17' ist von seitlichen Bewegungsanschlägen 32 begrenzt, die den Stellweg des Schließteils 17' definieren. Zusätzlich ist das Schließteil 17' mit einem Abdichtelement 30 versehen, das in der in Fig. 5 dargestellten Staustellung eine Auslassöffnung 12' flüssigkeitsdicht verschließt. Selbstverständlich können auch bei einer derartigen Ausführungsform mehrere Auslassöffnungen 12' vorgesehen sein.In the FIGS. 4 and 5 Parts of a second embodiment of a cutlery basket according to the invention are shown. A closing part 17 'is also designed as a slide which, for example, plane-parallel to a bottom wall 10' of the cutlery basket, which deviating from the illustrated embodiment could also be formed by a bottom portion of the insert part 3, not shown, is displaceable. In contrast to the first embodiment, the adjusting movement is not linear, but along a curved or curved pivoting path. For this purpose, the closing part 17 'is pivotally connected to the bottom wall 10' of the cutlery basket via a bearing journal 31. The pivoting movement of the closing part 17 'is limited by lateral movement stops 32 which define the travel of the closing part 17'. In addition, the closing part 17 'is provided with a sealing element 30, which in the in Fig. 5 illustrated stowage position an outlet opening 12 'closes liquid-tight. Of course, a plurality of outlet openings 12 'can also be provided in such an embodiment.
