Definitions
- the present invention relates to a drawer adapted to be placed in a dishwasher tub, as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
- Cutlery and other kitchen items of larger sizes such as ladles, cleavers, carving knives, sausage knives or the like, are known to be unable to be easily and effectively machine-washed, when these items are placed in a cutlery rack or in traditional washing racks.
- cutlery In case of a heavy cutlery load, cutlery is often bundled up in a cutlery rack, which reduces the effectiveness of a washing cycle as compared with the case in which cutlery is placed on the bottom of one of these racks, where it is more effectively reached by a washing fluid. Nevertheless, the latter case involves the risk that cutlery may most likely fall to the bottom of the tub, and hence that it may block one of the washing mechanisms, such as the arms or else, or obstruct one of the drain hoses, thereby stopping the running washing cycle. Concerning the position of long kitchen items (e.g. ladles, kitchen knives or else), they must be placed in one of the racks in an inclined position, possibly using part of the washing load for support and/or retention. In this case, it will be easily understood that the fall of any one of these items during rack loading/unloading may cause injury and/or bruises to the user.
- long kitchen items e.g. ladles, kitchen knives or else
- Cutlery drawers have been designed to obviate the above drawback.
- WO 2008/035866 A1 by LG ELECTRONICS, also discloses a cutlery drawer whose support elements are removable but cannot partially be in overlapping relationship in a plurality of positions, thereby limiting the flexibility of load positioning in the dishwasher tub and the versatility of its rack.
- the present invention has the object of obviating these and other drawbacks by providing a drawer adapted to be placed in a dishwasher tub, as defined in the annexed claim 1.
- the present invention intends to obviate these and other drawbacks by providing a dishwasher comprising one or more sensors arranged in the tub, as defined in the annexed claim 14.
- the idea behind the present invention is the addition of a pull-out drawer in a dishwasher tub, which drawer is designed to receive cutlery and/or kitchen items such as ladles, knives or else, and comprises removable trays possibly having removable rack supports [S1]fixed thereon, allowing the trays to overlap in a plurality of positions, for improved tub loading flexibility.
- a dishwasher drawer 1 comprises a peripheral frame 2, a concave tray 4, a flat tray 5, and one or more cutlery support means.
- the peripheral frame 2 comprises a peripheral structure, preferably made of metal, which in turn comprises at least one front bar 21 and one rear bar 21, which are substantially parallel and joined together by side bars 23; these bars 21 include a central part 21b and substantially parallel bent sides 21a, whereas the respective ends of the side bars 23 are preferably electrowelded together in pairs to the sides 21a, such that the peripheral frame 2 has a rectangular plan shape, compatible with the internal dimension of a dishwasher tub (not shown).
- Said peripheral frame 2 is preferably made of metal and is covered with a layer of a waterproofing material, which prevents contact between the metal and the washing water.
- the stiffness of the peripheral frame 2 is improved by one or more reinforcement bars 24, which are arranged perpendicular to the side bars 23 and are coupled thereto, preferably by electrowelding.
- both the concave tray 4 and the flat tray 5 have a bottom 43,53, which in turn comprises a grid, allowing the passage of the washing liquid.
- the term grid is intended as a general support structure, through which the washing water is allowed to flow: therefore, any woven structure or the like that is suitable for the above purpose will fall within the definition of the grid as used herein.
- the tray 4 comprises a cavity 41, which is adapted to receive long kitchen tools, such as knives, ladles, etc.; this cavity 41 comprises side openings 42 along one side, which allow the passage of a washing liquid delivered by appropriate supply means (not shown) and positioning of materials having protrusions (e.g. tea cups, coffee cups, etc.). Furthermore, this cavity 41 also comprises a rack 48, preferably located opposite to the side with the side openings 42. Thus, the combined action of the rack 48 and the side openings 42 allows safe positioning of particularly long objects, such as knives or else.
- the tray 4 also comprises a flat surface 47 adjacent to the cavity 41. Cutlery or other objects of similar size may be placed above the flat surface 47 and held against the flat surface 47 using support means, which comprise rack supports 6, such that the cutlery can be prevented from being displaced by the relatively high-speed jets of washing liquid, during the washing cycle.
- the rack supports 6 comprise hooks 64, preferably having a snap operation, which allow the trays 4 and 5 to be coupled to the bottom 43,53, and advantageously to be separated therefrom, for increased load flexibility and easy cleaning/maintenance; these means may be preferably made of a soft material, such as TPE rubber.
- the rack supports 6 further comprise a base 61 comprising the hooks 64, the wings 62 for retaining cutlery, and openings 63 for easier passage of the washing liquid.
- these supports 6 include an abutment 65, preferably having a cylindrical or frustoconical shape, that can be engaged with holes 49,59 of the trays 4 and 5 respectively (see Figs. 5 and 6 ).

Description
- The present invention relates to a drawer adapted to be placed in a dishwasher tub, as defined in the preamble of
claim 1. - Cutlery and other kitchen items of larger sizes, such as ladles, cleavers, carving knives, sausage knives or the like, are known to be unable to be easily and effectively machine-washed, when these items are placed in a cutlery rack or in traditional washing racks.
- In case of a heavy cutlery load, cutlery is often bundled up in a cutlery rack, which reduces the effectiveness of a washing cycle as compared with the case in which cutlery is placed on the bottom of one of these racks, where it is more effectively reached by a washing fluid. Nevertheless, the latter case involves the risk that cutlery may most likely fall to the bottom of the tub, and hence that it may block one of the washing mechanisms, such as the arms or else, or obstruct one of the drain hoses, thereby stopping the running washing cycle. Concerning the position of long kitchen items (e.g. ladles, kitchen knives or else), they must be placed in one of the racks in an inclined position, possibly using part of the washing load for support and/or retention. In this case, it will be easily understood that the fall of any one of these items during rack loading/unloading may cause injury and/or bruises to the user.
- Cutlery drawers have been designed to obviate the above drawback.
-
US 2012/0155280 , by MIELE & CIE, KG discloses a cutlery drawer composed of three support trays, which can be stably coupled together but cannot be in a freely overlapping relationship, due to the presence of cutlery racks fixed to the bottom of the trays; these racks interfere with the grid on the bottom of the support elements and prevent the elements from sliding one above the other. -
WO 2008/035866 A1 , by LG ELECTRONICS, also discloses a cutlery drawer whose support elements are removable but cannot partially be in overlapping relationship in a plurality of positions, thereby limiting the flexibility of load positioning in the dishwasher tub and the versatility of its rack. - The present invention has the object of obviating these and other drawbacks by providing a drawer adapted to be placed in a dishwasher tub, as defined in the annexed
claim 1. - The present invention intends to obviate these and other drawbacks by providing a dishwasher comprising one or more sensors arranged in the tub, as defined in the annexed claim 14.
- The idea behind the present invention is the addition of a pull-out drawer in a dishwasher tub, which drawer is designed to receive cutlery and/or kitchen items such as ladles, knives or else, and comprises removable trays possibly having removable rack supports [S1]fixed thereon, allowing the trays to overlap in a plurality of positions, for improved tub loading flexibility.
- Further advantageous characteristics of the present invention will form the subject of the claims annexed hereto.
