  • Washing And Drying Of Tableware (AREA)

Description

  • The present invention relates to a glass holder suitable for use in dishwashers.
  • In dishwashers, washing is performed by spraying water on the items to be washed. Efficiency is increased by decreasing the washing process duration through high water flow rate. However, items are sometimes dashed due to the impact of sprayed water. This may lead to damaging of fragile items. Such fragile items require being placed with care in a washing cabinet in order to prevent them from being damaged in the dishwasher. Therefore, several holder compartments have been developed enabling fixing of fragile items in the washing cabinet. Wine glasses are usually placed in glass racks in washing cabinets. Several holders have been developed with the purpose of washing wine glasses on glass racks. However, such holders occupy excessive space in the washing cabinet when not in use. Therefore, portable wine glass washing accessories placed in the washing cabinet are used. Wine glass accessories comprise surfaces on which wine glasses are placed. The surface structures sometimes lead to the wine glasses not being sufficiently cleaned. Also, in the drying process, drying problems occur since the mouth of a wine glass is partially closed, creating spots on the wine glass.
  • State of the art international patent application no. WO2016034200 mentions a portable wine glass holder suitable for use in a dishwasher, which is enabled to occupy a small space when not used.
  • The aim of the present invention is to realize a glass holder which can be used in dishwashers, enabling effective washing and drying of wine glasses.
  • The glass holder suitable for use in dishwashers realized to achieve the aim of the present invention and disclosed in the claims, comprises a body and a base. The body comprises two mutual pillars and a crosspiece provided between the pillars. The base is provided between the pillars. A plurality of wine glass holders utilized to grasp the stem portions of the wine glasses, are provided on the crosspiece. The base is fixed between the pillars.
  • The glass holder of the invention comprises at least one frame provided on the base, and at least one support member placed on the frame. The support member is detachably placed on the frame. Items other than wine glasses can also be placed on the glass holder when the support members are detached from the frame. The support member has an open position in which it is biased, and a closed position in which it is parallel to the base.
  • In an embodiment of the invention, the glass holder comprises at least one protrusion provided on the support member. The protrusions move by sliding on at least one channel arranged on the base.
  • In an embodiment of the invention, the glass holder comprises a channel biased from the floor of the base to its surface. By this, the protrusion moving on the channel is also enabled to ascend or descend in direction of the channel.
  • In an embodiment of the invention, the glass holder comprises a plurality of seats provided on the channel. The protrusions are fixed by being seated on the seats while advancing on the channel. The inclination of the support member is enabled to vary by means of the protrusions being seated in various seats while advancing on the channel.
  • In an embodiment of the invention, the glass holder comprises a support member capable of shifting from the open position to the closed position, or from the closed position to the open position thanks to the protrusion advancing on the channel.
  • In an embodiment of the invention, the glass holder comprises a support member on which wine glasses can be placed in closed and open positions.
