Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cutlery drawer for a dishwasher for receiving cutlery parts, in particular knives, or a part thereof, with a bottom section on which a plurality of holding cams are arranged in series, a receiving space for individual cutlery part receiving being formed between two adjacent holding cams, and with a retaining web arranged opposite the row of retaining cams on the bottom section, which serves to support the cutlery part at the other end.
  • Dishwashers and cutlery drawers for dishwashers are known per se from the prior art. It is therefore only an example of the DE 10 2008 062 761 B3 and the DE 10 2013 100 138 A1 referenced, each disclosing a cutlery drawer for a dishwasher. Cutlery drawers of the generic type are in the US 2009/0038657 A1 , the EP 0186157 A1 , the DE 102011053497 A1 as well as the DE 102005056886 B3 described Dishwashers, in particular in the form of household dishwashers, have a washing compartment which provides a washing compartment and, in the intended use, serves to hold items to be cleaned, such as dishes, cutlery and / or the like.
  • crockery baskets are typically provided which are mounted so that they can be pulled out of the washing compartment provided by the washing compartment.
  • Cutlery drawers have become known for receiving cutlery items, such as knives, forks, spoons and / or the like, which, like crockery baskets, are designed to be movable out of the washing compartment provided by the washing container.
  • Such cutlery drawers have a bottom section for holding cutlery items, on which holding cams, holding bars and / or the like are used for the individual placement of cutlery items. are arranged.
  • cutlery drawers Although known cutlery drawers have proven their worth in everyday practice, there is room for improvement. It has been shown that even if the cutlery drawer is properly equipped with cutlery parts, rinsing liquid remains on the cutlery parts, which dry during the drying program step and may leave visible stains, which is perceived by the user as disadvantageous. This problem arises in particular in the case of relatively large cutlery part configurations, as can be the case with handles, in particular with knife handles.
  • the cutlery parts accommodated in the cutlery drawer are stored in two points.
  • a first bearing point is provided by the bottom section between two adjacent holding cams.
  • a second bearing point is provided by the retaining web formed opposite the row of cams.
  • a piece of cutlery intended to be picked up from the cutlery drawer therefore rests on the one side in the receiving space between two adjacent holding cams on the one hand and on the other hand the support piece is supported on the other side of the cutlery part.
  • a first special feature of the invention is that the storage area provided by the holding web is formed in the height direction of the cutlery drawer above the bottom section located between two adjacent holding cams. This design ensures that the cutlery part is inclined when it is properly received through the cutlery drawer, in the longitudinal direction of the cutlery part.
  • the alignment of the cutlery part which is so structurally forced, means that the outflow of washing liquid is favored, the remaining washing liquid residues on the cutlery part are thus minimized, possibly even prevented.
  • one of the two holding cams of a pair of holding cams forming a receiving space on the foot side carries an extension projecting into the receiving space, the upper end edge of which is opposite the base section and is bevelled towards the adjacent holding cam.
  • This constructive design enables an inclined arrangement of the cutlery part in the longitudinal direction of the cutlery drawer, i.e. an arrangement rotated about the longitudinal axis of the cutlery part is forced. This also promotes the drainage of any liquid residues.
  • the constructive design of the cutlery drawer according to the invention ensures that cutlery items which are received as intended are oriented both in the longitudinal direction of the cutlery drawer and at an incline transversely thereto.
  • the risk of droplets of rinsing liquid residues remaining on the cutlery part, in particular on the cutlery part, is thereby minimized, which also minimizes the risk of stains appearing after drying.
  • the constructive design ensures that the contact points between the items to be washed and the cutlery drawer, in particular the holding bridge and the holding cams, are minimized, since a linear arrangement of the items to be washed is avoided and instead an essentially point-like arrangement is realized. This also creates the danger of stain patterns which set themselves after drying. At the same time, a stable storage of the cutlery parts is realized.
  • the holding web has a zigzag-shaped design, a zigzag valley lying directly opposite a receiving space formed between two adjacent holding cams, i.e. in the transverse direction of the cutlery drawer is directly opposite.
  • This configuration of the holding bridge is advantageous in two ways.
  • a forced inclined arrangement of the cutlery part about the longitudinal axis of rotation is achieved. This is because not only the one-sided section of the cutlery part is forced into the inclined position by the projections, but also the other-end section of the cutlery part by the zigzag-shaped design of the holding web.
  • the zigzag-shaped design ensures that when the cutlery drawer moves, either from the dishwasher's washing compartment or into the dishwasher, there is no unwanted slipping of the cutlery parts. These are fixed in position on the one hand by the holding cams rising in the vertical direction but also by the zigzag-shaped holding web.
  • the zigzag mountains are, in contrast to the zigzag valleys, not flattened but rather flattened. This contour enables particularly stable storage of the items to be washed, in particular the knives, and particularly high positioning comfort.
  • a side wall which is arranged on the base section and is oriented in the direction of movement of the cutlery drawer is provided and carries ribs which run in the height direction on the load side and which are each assigned to a zigzag valley provided by the retaining web.
  • Both the row of retaining cams and the associated retaining web are longitudinal, i.e. preferably aligned in the direction of movement of the cutlery drawer.
  • a further retaining web is provided, which is also aligned in the longitudinal direction of the cutlery drawer.
  • This holding bar is designed with respect to the transverse direction of the cutlery drawer between the row of cams on the one hand and the first holding bar on the other.
  • This further holding web serves to support cutlery parts which are comparatively short with respect to the respective longitudinal extension, or those cutlery parts which, due to their shape, either do not extend into the row of holding cams starting from the first holding web or cannot be picked up by the latter, such as spoons.
  • Such cutlery parts are supported on the one side on the further holding web on the one hand and on the other side on the first holding web on the other.
  • a large number of such further retaining webs can be provided, which increases the loading variety of the cutlery drawer.
  • the further retaining web also has a zigzag-shaped configuration.
  • this configuration achieves a positionally secure arrangement of the cutlery part that has been received, and on the other hand it ensures that slipping of a received cutlery part is basically prevented when the cutlery drawer moves.
  • the first holding web projects beyond the further holding web or the further holding webs in the height direction of the cutlery drawer.
  • this ensures that a piece of cutlery picked up by the first holding bridge and a row of cams does not rest on the further holding bridge or the further holding bridges, but remains with a two-point support, with the aim of creating unnecessary contact points at which Avoid residual rinsing liquids.
  • the Height-varying design of the holding webs achieves the advantage that it is possible in a simplified manner to reach under a cutlery part accommodated by the first holding web on the one hand and a row of cams on the other hand, which facilitates easier unloading of the cutlery drawer.
  • one of the further retaining webs can be designed as an anti-slip edge.
  • Such a holding bridge acts as a barrier and prevents cutlery items from accidentally sliding inside.
  • cutlery drawer With the cutlery drawer according to the invention it is structurally achieved to incline cutlery parts, in particular knives, in all axes in the most favorable angle so that residues of washing-up liquid can drain off.
  • This is achieved on the one hand by preferably providing a contour increase for the handle end of the knife, and on the other hand that an extension is attached to the foot of the knife tip between the cams receiving each, which allows the knife arranged between them to slide into a defined position, so that an inclination is brought about by the weight of the knife in the predetermined position.
  • the longitudinal side walls of the cutlery drawer have on their inside vertically extending ribs which are matched to the position of the cutlery items, in particular knives, received by the cutlery drawer. This ensures that the handle end of a knife cannot lie flat against the inner wall of the side wall of the cutlery drawer, which could otherwise lead to unsightly stains due to stuck drops and / or food residues.
  • Fig. 1 shows a cutlery drawer 1 according to the invention in a preferred embodiment.
  • the cutlery drawer 1 has a frame 4 in which three inserts 5, 6 and 7 are hung.
  • the inserts 5 and 7 can each be moved relative to the frame 4, specifically in the transverse direction 11.
  • the middle insert 7 can also be moved relative to the frame 4 in the transverse direction 11, as well as in the height direction 24.
  • the cutlery drawer 1 does not depend on the movability of the inserts 5, 6 and 7.
  • the cutlery drawer 1 can be moved in the direction X, ie in the longitudinal direction 10 of the cutlery drawer 1.
  • the cutlery drawer 1 is used to hold cutlery parts 2 and 3, with knives 2 on the one hand and a spoon 3 on the other hand being shown as cutlery parts in the exemplary embodiment shown.
  • the insert 5 has holding cams 13 on the one hand and a holding bridge 15 on the other hand
  • the holding cams 13 are arranged in a row on a base section 12 provided by the insert 5, a receiving space 14 being formed between two adjacent holding cams 13.
  • a receiving space 14 serves to receive the blade side of a knife 2, the blade side of a knife 2 being accommodated for each receiving space 14 in the intended use.
  • the row of cams serves to collect the cutlery parts.
  • the row of holding cams 13 is arranged on the bottom section 12 of the holding web 15. This serves to support cutlery on the other side, i.e. in the intended use, the knife 2 rests on the handle bar 15 on the handle side.
  • the holding web 15 provides a storage area 16. On this storage surface 16 rests a knife handle which is intended to be received by the cutlery drawer 1. According to the invention, it is provided that the storage surface 16 provided by the holding web is formed in the height direction 24 of the cutlery part drawer 1 above the bottom section 12 located between two adjacent holding cams 13. This factual context results in particular from a synopsis of Figures 4 and 7 , which show that the holding web 15 is supported by uprights 23 rising in the direction of height 24, which means that a contour elevation is achieved with respect to the holding web 15 with respect to the bottom section 12.
  • This difference in height between the storage surface 16 provided by the holding web 15 on the one hand and the bottom section 12 located between two adjacent holding cams 13 on the other hand ensures that a knife 2 which is intended to be received by the cutlery drawer 1 is inclined in the longitudinal direction of the cutlery, ie in the transverse direction 11 of the cutlery drawer 1.
  • a difference in height is provided between the storage surface 16 provided by the holding web 15 on the one hand and the bottom section 12 located between two adjacent holding cams 13 on the other hand, such that there is an inclination in the longitudinal direction of the cutlery of 3 and 3 for the cutlery part received, in particular for a knife 2 of a standard cutlery 5 ° results. Any rinsing liquid residues remaining on the knife 2 after a rinsing cycle can flow away or flow more favorably due to this tendency.
  • one of the two holding cams 13 of a pair of holding cams forming a receiving space 14 on the foot side carries an extension 18 protruding into the receiving space 14, the upper end edge 19 of which is opposite the bottom portion 12 and is formed so as to be slanted toward the adjacent holding cams 13.
  • This factual context results in particular from the presentation Fig. 7 , which can be seen that a knife 2 received by the cutlery drawer 1 is forced into an inclined position rotated about the longitudinal axis of the knife 2 due to the above-described extension 18, specifically because of the weight force acting on the knife 2. There is therefore an inclination of the knife 2 also in the longitudinal direction 10 of the cutlery part drawer 1. This inclination also supports the outflow or flow of any rinsing liquid residues adhering to the knife 2 after a rinsing cycle.
  • a knife 2 received therefrom is inclined and fixed securely both in the longitudinal direction 10 of the cutlery part drawer and in the transverse direction 11. This favors the outflow of otherwise adhering rinsing liquid residues, with the result that stains which are perceived as disadvantageous by the user are avoided.
  • the preferred embodiment according to the figures has a second Holding cam row 26, which is designed in an identical manner to the first holding cam row 17. This allows knives 2 of different lengths in the longitudinal direction to be picked up in the same way.
  • the holding web 15 is designed according to the invention in a zigzag shape. This results in particular from a synopsis of the Figures 5 . 6 . 7 . 10 and 11 , A zigzag valley 22 provided by the holding web 15 is formed directly opposite an associated receiving space 14 between two adjacent holding cams 13.
  • the zigzag-shaped design of the retaining web 15 supports the inclination of a knife 2 received by the cutlery drawer 1 in the longitudinal direction 10 of the cutlery drawer 1, in particular the illustration according to FIGS Figures 5 . 6 and 11 reveals.
  • the invention achieves an inclination or inclination to the longitudinal axis of the cutlery part with an angle ⁇ of 8 to 12 °, as in particular in Fig. 11 shown.
  • zigzag-shaped design of the retaining web 15 Another advantage of the zigzag-shaped design of the retaining web 15 is that the cutlery drawer 1 does not slip unintentionally when the cutlery drawer 1 moves in the direction of travel X.
  • the exemplary embodiment shown are different from the zigzag mountains in contrast to the one in FIGS Fig. 5 or 6 Embodiments shown are not pointed but flattened. This contour enables a particularly stable storage of the items to be washed, in particular the knives, and at the same time high positioning comfort.
  • a further retaining web 25 is provided according to the invention.
  • a cutlery part 3 is arranged with its grip section in the receiving spaces 14 formed between two holding cams 13 of a first and a second row of cams 17, 26 .
  • the functional section of the cutlery part 3 is supported by a further retaining web 25, which preferably also has a zigzag-shaped configuration for securing the position. This zigzag-shaped design also ensures that there is no unwanted slipping when the cutlery drawer 1 moves.
  • the cutlery drawer 1 has an anti-slip edge 27. This is also arranged on the bottom section 12 and prevents the cutlery part 3 from slipping inward.
  • the insert 7 has a side wall 20 oriented in the longitudinal direction 10 of the cutlery drawer 1.
  • This carries ribs 21 on the inside, ie on the load side, in the height direction 24.
  • These ribs 21 are each assigned to a zigzag valley 22 provided by the holding web 15, like this in particular the top view from the top Fig. 8 reveals.
  • the cutlery parts 2 can rest against these ribs 21 on the end face, thus preventing the cutlery parts 2 from resting against the side walls 20 over the entire surface. In this way, it is advantageously achieved that the risk of stuck rinsing liquid drops and / or food residues is minimized.
