  • the present invention particularly relates to a movable wire mechanism which enables the users to adjust the gaps between the wires depending on the dimensions of the items desired to be loaded into the dishwasher.
  • the washing process is performed in the washing tub.
  • Kitchen items to be washed such as plates, pots, cups, glasses and cutlery are placed onto the racks disposed in the washing tub, and the kitchen items placed onto the racks are cleaned with the water taken from the mains and the detergent delivered into the washing tub.
  • the arrangement of the kitchen items on the rack significantly affects the washing and drying performance.
  • the existing racks are composed of horizontal wires positioned in the form of a cage and vertical wires which extend perpendicular to the former wires, which are positioned at a certain distance from each other and which ensure that the kitchen items stay fixed throughout the washing process.
  • the fixed distance between said vertical wires may prevent kitchen items with various dimensions from being placed in the most efficient manner.
  • a narrower distance is required for thin items such as plates, while a wider distance may be required for thick items such as pans or deep plates. Therefore, it is required to adjust the distance between the plate-holding wires to enable the users to customize the layout of the rack as per their preference.
  • Patent Documents No. US 2012/292269 , US 2012/292270 , US 2013/299438 and US 2021/393108 disclose additional wire systems, which enable kitchen items with various dimensions to be placed into the dishwasher rack.
