It is therefore the task of the present invention. achieve a basket insert for a dishwasher that is constituted in a simple way and that is adequate to deposit Bottles in the basket for dishes.

This task is solved with an insert of basket for a dishwasher with the characteristics of the claim 1.

Within the framework of the invention it is arranged, to a certain distance from the wavy clamp, a tie, in the that are arranged spikes that protrude upwards, for the lateral support of the bottle or other piece of the dishes. This way can be deposited between the tie rod and the wavy clamp bottles of different sizes, since the lateral support by means of spikes and the strap allows some compensation from tolerances In addition, the basket insert can be used in a flexible way also for objects other than bottles, in which only lateral support is desired.

For simple assembly of the insert of basket, it can be hooked in an insert of the floor of the basket for dishes. This way they can be equipped in addition to the existing dishes baskets also easily with the basket insert. When the wavy clamp of the basket insert can hooked to the bottom of a basket for dishes such that the clamp can be housed as a storage area for pieces of dishes that cover the housings, then you can serve the wavy clamp for both the lateral support of bottles as well as deposit surface, with which the Filling the basket for dishes remains simple. The piece basket insert can then be hooked on a bottom of a crockery basket such that a bottle has a certain inclined position with respect to the strap and the pins.

According to a preferred configuration of the invention, forms the corrugated clamp housing that wrap a part of the neck of a bottle in less than half. This The accommodation can serve as a support element, but without be limited especially to a diameter of the neck of the bottle.

For quick assembly of the insert basket, this can have at least one hook open laterally and an open hook down. Then the insert of basket can be easily attached to braces and existing basket for dishes. For a configuration stable of the basket insert, the corrugated clamp and the rod with the spikes by means of several cross braces. In these cross braces they can then be configured at respective opposite ends suspension hooks.

The invention will be described below in detail based on an example of execution with reference to attached drawings. It shows in

A basket for tableware 1 includes a bottom 2 on which pieces of dishes can be deposited, being configured the bottom 2 with grid form and being surrounded by a side wall 3 that goes around. On the bottom 2 of the basket for tableware 1 an insert of basket is arranged, which includes a wavy clamp 4, whose individual waves configure receptacles 5. In these receptacles 5 can be placed the neck of a bottle 6.

On the opposite side to the wavy clamp 4, the bottle 6 is supported on a strap 7 with spikes 8 which protrude upwards, being able to present the bottle 6 a certain inclined position with respect to the strap 7 and the pins 8.

The wavy clamp 4 and the strap 7 are linked together by cross braces 9, which present in its end a hook 10 and a hook 11. The hook 10 is curved from such that it is open laterally, while the hook 11 It is open down. On hooks 10 and 11 you can hook the basket insert in the bottom 2 in the form of basket rack for tableware 1, the first ones being suspended hooks 10 on the side of the corrugated clamp 4 on a brace longitudinal of bottom 2 and then turning the piece basket insert such that the hooks 11 cover from above another longitudinal strap

Figure 2 shows the basket for the tableware 1 with another filling, which is not formed by bottles 6 but for a cup 16. Cup 16 has a perimeter greater than bottlenecks 6, so that the wavy clamp 4 it serves as a deposit surface and on the opposite side the strap 7 with the pins 8 for the lateral support of the cup 16. Also cups 16 can then be stably accommodated in the basket for dishes 1.

In figure 3 the piece is shown in detail Basket insert. Bottle 6 includes a bottleneck 60 narrowed and configured for example as a bottle. The neck of the bottle 60 can be inserted between the wavy clamp 4 and the tie 7 and thereby remain stable during the process of washed. Next to it is the rate 16, which is deposited on the corrugated clamp 4 and which is supported on the spikes 8 on the strap 7. Also the cup 16 can thus be deposited in a manner stable in the basket insert.

In the execution example represented the distance between the wavy clamp 4 and the strap 7 is the same, so that the accommodations 5 are planned for certain bottleneck sizes. It is also possible to modify the distance between the wavy clamp 4 and the strap 7, to be able to accommodate bottles of different sizes in the insert of basket.

In the example of execution shown they are associated with each housing 5 in each case two pins 8 in the tie 7, so that a bottle 6 can be supported and maintained with safety on both pins 8. The pins 8 have a length of more than 4 cm, preferably more than 6 cm, so longer bottles can also be supported 6.
