BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings, using a tableware dryer as an example.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body made of synthetic resin, in which a warm air generating means accommodating chamber 5 containing a warm air generating means 4 composed of a heater 2 and a blower 3 is formed.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a lid body composed of a plurality of lid pieces 7 which cover the upper surface of the main body 1 in an openable and closable manner. The main body 1 and the lid body 6 form a tableware drying chamber 8 for storing a tableware basket 10 described later. .

A reference numeral 9 is formed at a position which communicates with the warm air generating means storage chamber 5 of the main body 1 and faces the tableware drying chamber 8. The warm air from the warm air generating means 4 is supplied to the tableware drying chamber 8. It is a wind supply port.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a table basket stored in the table drying room 8, which is formed by bending a steel wire such as stainless steel,
It is formed by welding bent steel wires in a grid pattern at predetermined intervals.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a portion which constitutes one side portion of the dish basket 10 (in this embodiment, one side portion in the longitudinal direction of the dish basket 10), and has a surface which protrudes inside the dish basket 10 and is continuous in the vertical direction. When tableware such as a plate is placed in an upright state between the adjacent tableware holders 11 formed by folding the tableware holders, the tableware holders 11 hold the tableware. ing.

As shown in FIG. 3, the tableware holding section 11 is continuously bent from one side having the tableware holding section 11 to one side with respect to the steel wire forming the bottom of the tableware basket 10. When the tableware such as a plate having a relatively deep depth is placed between the tableware holding portions 11 and 11, the tableware holding portion 11 located on the upper surface side of the tableware enters the inside of the tableware and Since the tableware holding portion 11 located on the bottom side allows the depth (height) of the tableware to escape, it is possible to reliably hold the tableware having a relatively deep depth in the standing state.

According to the above construction, the tableware holding portion 11 is bent in a state of being inclined to one side with respect to the steel wire forming the bottom of the tableware basket 10, so that tableware having a relatively deep depth can be stored. The tableware holder 11 located on the top side of the tableware enters the inside of the tableware, and the tableware holder 11 located on the bottom side of the tableware allows the depth (height) of the tableware to escape, so that it can be securely held in the standing state. , The usability can be improved.

In the above-described embodiment, the tableware holding portion 11 is formed into a substantially U-shape by bending as shown in FIG. 6, but it is sufficient to form a continuous surface of the tableware basket 10 in the vertical direction. It may be bent into a substantially triangular shape as shown in FIG.

Further, in the above embodiment, the tableware holder 1
1 was simply bent and formed in a state of being inclined to one side with respect to the steel wire forming the bottom of the tableware basket 10.
Since the upper end and the lower end of 1 are in a state in which they are substantially vertically coplanar, when the table baskets 10 are stacked in the process of manufacturing the table baskets 10, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9,
The tableware holders 11 of the upper and lower tableware baskets 10 interfere with each other and cannot be overlapped with each other.

Therefore, as in the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, it is preferable to make the tableware holding portion inclined in the vertical direction. Hereinafter, description will be given based on the drawings, but the same portions as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

That is, the reference numeral 12 is formed in a portion that constitutes one side portion (one side portion in the longitudinal direction of the dish basket 10 in the present embodiment) of the dish basket 10 by bending so as to project to the inside of the dish basket 10. It is a tableware holding part.

The tableware holder 12 is bent in one direction with respect to the steel wire forming the bottom of the tableware basket 10, and as shown in FIGS. It is formed so as to be inclined toward one side.

According to the above structure, when the table baskets 10 are stacked in the process of manufacturing the table baskets 10, the upper table baskets 1 are provided along the tableware holding portions 12 inclined in the vertical direction of the table baskets 10.
0 can be inserted into the lower basket 10 and the height can be reduced even when the basket 10 is loaded, so that productivity can be improved.

In each of the above embodiments, the tableware dryer is described as an example, but a tableware basket for draining the washed tableware may be used.

Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the dish basket formed by bending the stainless steel wire has been described as an example. However, a dish basket formed of synthetic resin in a lattice shape may be used. Compared with a synthetic resin dish basket, the dish basket is less likely to have water stains and the like, and has the effect of being hygienically usable.

[0028]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the free end side of the holding portion is inclined to one side with respect to the line forming the bottom of the table basket, the tableware having a relatively deep depth is stored. However, since the holding part located on the top side of the tableware enters the inside of the tableware, and the holding part located on the bottom side of the tableware allows the depth (height) of the tableware to escape, the tableware can be reliably held in the standing state, Usability can be improved.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the free end side of the holding portion is inclined to one side with respect to the line forming the bottom of the dish basket, and the holding portion is unidirectional from the upper portion to the lower portion. By tilting the table to the table, it is possible to securely hold the tableware in the standing state even when storing tableware with a relatively deep depth, and to reduce the height dimension even when the tableware basket is loaded in the process of manufacturing the tableware basket. And productivity can be improved.

Further, according to claim 3 of the present invention, by forming the table basket with a steel wire made of corrosion-resistant metal,
Prevents adhesion of water stains and the like to maintain hygiene.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, by tilting the free end side of the holding portion to one side with respect to the line forming the bottom of the dish basket, even when storing dishes having a relatively deep depth, The holding part located on the top side of the tableware enters the inside of the tableware, and the holding part located on the bottom side of the tableware allows the depth (height) of the tableware to escape so that the tableware can be securely held in the upright state. Can be improved.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the free end side of the holding portion is inclined to one side with respect to the line forming the bottom of the dish basket, and the holding portion is unidirectional from the upper portion to the lower portion. By tilting the table to the table, it is possible to securely hold the tableware in the standing state even when storing tableware with a relatively deep depth, and to reduce the height dimension even when the tableware basket is loaded in the process of manufacturing the tableware basket. And productivity can be improved.

Further, according to claim 6 of the present invention, by forming the dish basket with a corrosion-resistant metal steel wire,
Prevents adhesion of water stains and the like to maintain hygiene.
