  • connection device recesses (13) have suitable shapes to support and receive the movable bars (7) in a guided manner so that the interconnected movable receiving sections (8) can displace back and forth.
  • the amount of displacement is restricted by two consecutive support extensions (10) leaning on the connection device (12) on each side thereof.
  • connection devices (12) are provided on each longitudinal side of the connection bar(s) (6).
  • the connection device recesses (13) are configured to allow easy removal of the interconnected movable receiving sections (8) assembly.
  • the connection device (12) comprises resilient flaps (14) on each side thereof, said resilient flaps (14) receiving the movable bars (7) in an at least partially enclosing manner.
  • the movable receiving sections assembly (15) is therefore individually removable from inside the fixed receiving sections assembly (16) by bending up the resilient flaps (14) and pulling out the same along the connection bar (6) axis.
  • the movable receiving sections (8) and the fixed receiving sections (9) have symmetrical shapes while the movable receiving sections (8) are smaller in proportion to the fixed sections.
  • This arrangement allows a more convenient space distribution adjustment in the case of consecutively placed very big but shallower plates (4) leaning on the smaller movable receiving sections (8) because it will be possible to accommodate such bigger plates in the vertical space between the upper and lower racks of the dishwasher.
  • the present invention provides that the plates (4) are consecutively arrangeable such that plates (4) of different sizes can be placed in the most appropriate placement.
  • the movable receiving sections assembly (15) and the fixed receiving sections assembly (16) placed at different positions and angles allows accommodation of the plates (4) without obstructing each other.
  • the dishwasher rack unit (3) of the present invention is placed on any portion of a dishwasher rack (1).
  • the base section thereof may be designed in preferred sizes and shapes to match the tines (2) present on the dishwasher rack (1).
