Definitions

  • the present invention relates to dishwashing machines, and in particular to a removable glass-holding insert that may be hooked up to any of the dishwasher racks.
  • dishwasher racks are usually made from metal wires coated with plastic and welded together so as to form a supporting structure for the dishes.
  • mobile or removable supports are often provided which allow to change the exploitation of the rack according to the need of the moment.
  • a cup-supporting shelf extending along one or both sides of the rack, located at such a level as to allow the positioning of the glasses under the shelf.
  • Said shelf may also be used to place thereon large-size cutlery such as kitchen knives, kitchen spoons and the like, or as a support for goblet stems if the shelf is properly shaped, e.g. with a wavy edge, or it is formed by a series of parallel sticks between which the stems can be introduced.
  • the shelf is an obstacle if the upper rack needs to be exploited for larger dishes, whereby in order to allow such a possibility of exploitation the shelf can be made removable, as a separate insert, or as a tip-up shelf but in any case its position inside the rack can not be changed.
  • the shelf is designed also for other functions, as indicated above, and in supporting the goblets it operates in cooperation with the shaped bottom of the rack, also designed to perform other functions such as mainly the support of dishes and cookware, it is difficult to obtain a stable positioning of the goblets at an optimum angle for effective washing.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a removable glass-holding insert for dishwasher rack which overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • a removable glass-holding insert comprising at least an upper supporting crossbar and a lower supporting crossbar, said crossbars being provided with a plurality of seats, preferably equally spaced, and with at least one pair of means for the reversible coupling of the insert to the rack, said means being preferably arranged at the ends of the upper crossbar.
  • the fundamental advantage of the present removable glass-holding insert is to confer greater flexibility of use to the dishwasher since it can be placed in different positions, also centrally, both in the lower and upper rack thus allowing to exploit the available space in the wash tank to the best and to properly place the goblets even in the presence of the third rack.
  • a further advantage of this removable glass-holding insert stems from its structural simplicity, which results in a reduced cost, a high reliability and a great ease of use for the user.
  • a removable glass-holding insert according to a first embodiment of the present invention, generally indicated by reference numeral 1, comprises an upper supporting crossbar 2 and a lower supporting crossbar 3 that are substantially wavy and arranged in planes perpendicular to each other.
  • the upper crossbar 2 is provided with substantially U-shaped terminals 4 which extend towards the lower crossbar 3 in a plane perpendicular to said planes of the crossbars, whereas the lower crossbar 3 is provided with end uprights 5 which extend in its same plane up to the vicinity of the upper crossbar 2 and end with hooks 6 facing outwards and downwards.
  • the U-shaped terminals 4 have a straight proximal section 4a and intermediate section 4b, whereas the distal section 4c is shaped to protrude outwards in the lower portion and then return partially inwards in the upper portion, so as to form a "knee" and to remain protruding with respect to the plane containing the straight sections 4a and 4b, as better illustrated in the detail of Fig.9 .
  • the connection between the two crossbars 2, 3 is achieved by welding at one or both contact points between said elements, namely a first contact point 7a between hook 6 and the top of the proximal section 4a and a second contact point 7b between upright 5 and the center of the intermediate section 4b ( Fig.3 ).
  • the planes containing the wavy profiles of crossbars 2, 3 could also be oriented non-orthogonally provided that they remain within a range of ⁇ 20° ( Fig.1 ) with respect to the orthogonal arrangement shown in the figures. This could be achieved by varying the angle between the upper crossbar 2 and terminals 4 and/or the angle between the lower crossbar 3 and uprights 5.
  • insert 1 is preferably made as a traditional rack with plastic-coated metal wires which are welded together, for reasons of cost and robustness, nothing prevents from making it with other materials and construction methods.
  • insert 1 could be made of plastic by injection molding either in one piece or more preferably in multiple pieces connected by snap fit or interference, or by ultrasonic welding.
  • the profile of crossbars 2, 3 and the type of attachment means to the rack could be different from those illustrated in the figures which are advantageous for a structure of metal wires.
  • insert 1 in a dishwasher rack R it is sufficient to flatten at least a part of the mobile dish-holding supports of the rack so that the lower crossbar 3 rests on the bottom of the rack and hooks 6 rest on the upper peripheral wire P.
  • the protruding "knees" of the distal sections 4c of terminals 4 elastically snap engage said peripheral wire P latching under it, so as to ensure that hooks 6 remain engaged and do not slip along the peripheral wire P.
  • insert 1 can be extracted from rack R and the mobile dish-holding supports can be returned to their operative position.
  • the operative angle taken by insert 1 when it is coupled to rack R depends on the combination of two geometric parameters, namely the distance between the peripheral wire P and the bottom of the rack, which can also vary depending on the position of insertion in rack R, as well as the distance between hooks 6 and the lower crossbar 3.
  • This angle is typically 30° but it may vary within a range of ⁇ 10° for a given insert 1, in function of the rack R in which it is inserted and of the specific location of placement.
  • the figures show a disposition of insert 1 in the transverse direction relative to the direction of removal of the rack, it is clear that also a disposition aligned to said direction would be possible with the same procedures and could influence the operative angle of insert 1.
  • the present insert 1 thus allows to load in any rack R a plurality of goblets G also of different shapes and sizes, holding them at an optimal inclination for their washing and drying.
  • the wavy profiles of crossbars 2 and 3 have been designed with special dimensional ranges defined by the geometric parameters illustrated in figures 8 and 9 .
  • the upper crossbar 2 has a sinusoidal shape with a "frequency”, i.e. the distance F between two adjacent crests, equal to 30 ⁇ 5 mm and an "amplitude", i.e. the depth A of a valley, equal to 20 ⁇ 3 mm.
  • the lower crossbar 3 has a sinusoidal shape but “straightened” in the bottom portion to provide a greater bearing surface to the edge of the glass, with a "frequency” F' equal to 30 ⁇ 5 mm and an "amplitude” A' equal to 18 ⁇ 3 mm.
  • the wavy profiles of crossbars 2 and 3 are preferably in phase, i.e. the "frequencies" F and F' are equal and the crests are aligned.
  • the shapes used to obtain the equally spaced seats on the two crossbars may be correspondingly different.
  • the profiles could take the form of a triangular, square or sawtooth wave or the like and also be different between the upper crossbar and the lower crossbar.
  • the upper crossbar 2' and the lower crossbar 3' have an helical shape while the rest of the structure remains unchanged from the first embodiment.
  • the upper crossbar 2' consists of a helix having a pitch and a diameter slightly higher than the helix of the lower crossbar 3', which is therefore not in phase with it.
  • the two helical profiles could be identical and that each of them could be combined with a wavy profile of the first embodiment so as to derive further embodiments with mixed profiles, namely wavy above and helical below or vice versa.
  • crossbars 2, 3 may be shaped in a different way to obtain seats, possibly also not equally spaced, suitable to receive other types of glasses, and the engagement means can be constituted by other elements mechanically equivalent to hooks 6 and terminals 4, possibly by integrating the functions of coupling and locking into a single element (e.g. an elastic clip).
  • the coupling means could be arranged not at the ends of the upper crossbar 3 as explained above but at another position, whereby the coupling to rack R could be realized not at the upper peripheral wire P but at another element of the rack.
  • insert 1 could be provided with one or more additional crossbars (even straight) arranged between uprights 5 at such a distance from the lower crossbar 3 as not to interfere with the placement of goblets G yet to allow also the placement of glasses of a height shorter than the distance between crossbars 2 and 3.
