[0019]
Here, the tableware basket 14 will be described in detail.
The tableware basket 14 is formed by assembling wires, and as shown in FIG. 3, the base portion 33 has a shape of a rectangular parallelepiped container having a shallow bottom, and is upward from the bottom of the base portion 33. A plurality of (many) wires 34 and 35 are provided as seed tableware supports.
[0020]
Among them, the wires 34 are suitable for arranging the bowls 16, and are alternately arranged on the left side of the base portion 33 (see FIG. 4) in the left-right direction with the wires 34 'shorter than the wires 34, and are arranged in four front and rear rows (FIG. 3). The four rows of wires 34 (34 ') are paired in two rows, and each pair faces each other in an inverted C-shape to support the bowl 16 with good stability.
[0021]
On the other hand, the wire 35 is suitable for arranging the plates 15, that is, constitutes a portion for arranging the plates 15, and is longer than the above-described wire 34 and is on the right side of the base portion 33 ( 4) (see FIG. 4), they are also arranged in the left-right direction at the front and rear intermediate portions, and are provided in two front and rear rows (see FIG. 3). The two rows of wires 35 form a pair, similarly to each pair of wires 34, and face each other in an inverted C-shape to support the plate 15 with good stability.
[0022]
FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the wire 35 in more detail. In particular, as is apparent from FIG. 1B, the wires 35 are long at the left and right ends, and the wires between them are shorter, and are connected together by a connecting wire 36. ing. As shown in FIG. 1A, a curled portion 35a is formed at the lower end of each of the long ends, and the curled portion 35a is rotatably attached to the bottom component wire 37 of the base portion 33. Thus, the wires 35 are provided so as to be able to undulate by their rotation.
[0023]
The prone direction of the wire 35 is a direction in which the wires 35 approach each other as shown in FIG. 2, and the upright direction is a direction in which the wires 35 move away from each other as shown in FIG. 1. Further, the wire 35 lies on the bottom surface of the base portion 33 when lying down, and is supported in the above-described inverted C shape by the stopper 38 provided on the base portion 33 when standing up. Further, the wire 35 also has a curled portion 35b at the upper end.
[0024]
Further, the bottom component wire 37 of the base portion 33, which is the center axis of rotation of the wire 35, is different from the front edge wire 39 and the rear edge wire 40 of the base portion 33, as shown in FIG. The curl portion 35a of the wire 35 is attached at a position on a line (virtual) substantially parallel to the side edge wire 41 of the base portion 33. . As a result, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the two wires 35 facing each other are in a state of being mixed with the wires 35 of the other party when both prone.
[0025]
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the tableware basket 14 has sliding members 42 on both left and right outer sides of the base portion 33, and the sliding members 42 are provided on both side surfaces in the cleaning tank 19. The tableware can be put in and out through the tableware entrance 10 by a drawer system that slides on a rail 43 formed at the lower part.
[0026]
Next, the arrangement of dishes and other objects to be washed with respect to the dish basket 14 having the above configuration will be described in detail.
As described above, the tableware basket 14 has two kinds of tableware support wires 34 (34 ') and 35, of which the wire 34 (34') is provided as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. Then, the bowl 16 is inserted between each of the left and right rows, and the bowl 16 is held upright. On the other hand, in a state where the wire 35 is erected as shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), and furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 15 is inserted, and the plate 15 is held upright.
[0027]
In this way, the bowl 16 and the plate 15 are arranged in the tableware basket 14, and in this state, the tableware is washed, rinsed, and dried.
Then, in order to set a large object to be cleaned (a pan in the illustrated example) 44 such as a pan or a bowl shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B other than the tableware, the wire 35 is set as shown in FIG. Prone. Then, a larger space is created on the wire 35, and a large object 44 to be cleaned is placed thereon.
In this way, the large object 44 to be washed is set on the tableware basket 14, and the object 44 to be washed, rinsed and dried in this state.
[0028]
As described above, according to the present configuration, the wire 35 of the tableware basket 14 is provided so as to be able to be raised and lowered, and the wire 35 is prone to set the large cleaning object 44 such as a pot or a ball thereon. Can be washed.
Moreover, in this case, the necessary plurality of wires 35 are connected to each other by the connecting wires 36, and therefore, it is possible to simultaneously raise and lower the entirety of one row, thereby making each wire 35 undulate. Since no trouble is required, the handling can be improved.
[0029]
Further, two rows of the wires 35 are provided to face each other, so that the wires 35 facing each other are mixed with each other when lying down. Thus, when the wires 35 are prone, the proneness can be made smoother without colliding with the mating wires 35, respectively, so that the handleability can be further improved. In addition, in this case, since the wire 35 can be made to prone more compactly, a large space for setting the large-sized object 44 to be cleaned can be secured thereon, and when the object 44 is placed. Can be improved in stability.
[0030]
Further, in this case, the above-described configuration in which the wires 35 are mixed with each other in a prone state is achieved only by making the center axis of rotation (undulation) of the wire 35 (the bottom component wire 37 of the tableware basket 14) inclined. Therefore, it has a feature that can be realized with a simpler configuration.
[0031]
5 and 6 show a second embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. Only different parts will be described. State.
In this case, the undulating wire 35 is only one row on the front side (the left side in each (a) of FIGS. 5 and 6 and the lower side in each (b)), and the plurality of wires 51 in the other row are tableware. Each of them is fixed to the bottom constituent wire 52 of the car 14 by welding or the like.
[0032]
In this case, the bottom component wire 37, which is the center axis of the rotation (undulation) of the wire 35, is provided in parallel with the front edge wire 39 and the rear edge wire 40, that is, in a non-inclined shape, together with the bottom component wire 52. The mounting position of the wire 35 on the bottom component wire 37 is slightly shifted from the mounting position of the wire 51 on the bottom component wire 52.
In this configuration, as shown in FIG. 5B, the plate 15 is inserted and held diagonally between the left and right rows of the wire 35 and the wire 51.
[0033]
Also in this configuration, the wires 35 can be raised and lowered even in a single row, and when the wires 35 are prone, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, a pot or a ball is placed thereon. A large cleaning object 44 can be set and cleaned. Further, when the wire 35 is laid down, it is mixed with the wire 51 which is another wire facing the wire 35, so that the wire 35 can be laid down more smoothly and more compactly. Therefore, even in this case, the same operation and effect as described above can be obtained.
[0034]
In this case, even when the wire 35 is prone, the tableware 53 such as a glass can be arranged outside the wire 51 (the right side in FIG. 6A).
When the second embodiment is considered together, one of the two rows of wires 35 in the first embodiment is one wire, and the other row of wires 35 functions as another wire. I have.
[0035]
FIGS. 7 to 9 show a third embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. Only different parts will be described. FIGS. 7A and 7B show a state where two rows of wires 35 facing each other stand up, and FIGS. 8A and 8B show a state where the two rows of wires 35 lie down.
[0036]
In the base portion 33 of the tableware basket 14, two bottom component wires 55, 55 provided on both front and rear sides of the two bottom component wires 37, 37, a spring member made of a wire as shown in FIG. 56 is attached. This spring member 56 has curled portions 56a at both ends, and is disposed between the second wire 35 and the third wire 35 from the right in each row as shown in FIG. 7B. The curl portions 56a at both ends are attached to the two bottom constituent wires 55 so as not to come off. As shown in FIG. 7A, the spring members 56 are arranged so as to press the two rows of connecting wires 36 connecting the wires 35 from above. Each curl portion 56a is attached so as to be movable with respect to the bottom connecting wire 55.
[0037]
In this configuration, in the state of FIG. 7 in which the two rows of wires 35 are erected, the respective connecting wires 36 are pressed from above by the spring member 56, so that the two rows of the wires 35 are held in the erected state. I have. For this reason, when the plate 15 is set, the wire 35 does not easily fall down as long as the plate 15 or the hand touches the raised wire 35. Therefore, there is an advantage that the dish 15 can be easily set even though the wire 35 can be raised and lowered. Further, in this case, since the spring members 56 are arranged so as to straddle the two rows of the connecting wires 36, the two rows of wires 35 can be held in an upright state by one spring member 56. The structure can be simplified as compared with the case where a spring member is provided.
[0038]
Then, as shown in FIG. 8A, the spring member 56 does not hinder the setting of the large cleaning object 44 in a state where the two rows of wires 35 are prone.
In addition, the spring member 56 is not limited to a wire rod, and may be configured by a leaf spring.
[0039]
FIGS. 10 to 14 show a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those in the first and third embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. Only different parts will be described.
As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, in the portion where the dishes are arranged, five wires 35 on each side are provided to face each other. Of the five wires 35 on one side, the wires 35 at the left and right ends and the central wire 35 are connected inside by a connecting wire 60, and the remaining two wires 35, 35 are connected outside by a connecting wire 61. Connected. Therefore, among the five wires 35, three wires 35 are connected by the connecting wires 60 every other wire, and the remaining two wires 35 are connected by the connecting wires 61. Here, the three wires 35 connected by the connection wires 60 are referred to as a first wire group 62, and the two wires 35 connected by the connection wires 61 are referred to as a second wire group 63.
[0040]
In the first wire group 62, the curls 35a at the lower ends of the wires 35 at the left and right ends are rotatably attached to the bottom component wires 37, respectively. One central wire 35 is set shorter than that of both ends, and has a lower end connected to the connecting wire 60. Therefore, the three wires 35 (the first wire group 62) connected by the connecting wires 60 are provided on the bottom component wire 37 so as to be able to undulate by rotation. In the second wire group 63, the two wires 35 each have a curl portion 35a rotatably attached to the bottom component wire 37, and are provided so as to be able to undulate by rotation. The distance between the two stoppers 38 of the base 33 is smaller than that of the first to third embodiments, corresponding to the length of the connecting wire 61 of the second wire group 63.
[0041]
Then, the facing second wire group 63 is supported in an inverted C-shape by the connecting wire 61 abutting against the stopper 38 when standing up. Also, the first wire group 62 facing the center wire 35 contacts the connecting wire 61 of the second wire group 63 and the connecting wire 60 contacts each wire 35 of the second wire group 63 when standing up. By contact, it is supported in an inverted C shape. In this case, in the upright state of the first and second wire groups 62 and 63, the position of the connection wire 61 of the second wire group 63 is higher than the connection wire 60 of the first wire group 62, and the spring member 56 holds the second wire group 63 in an upright state by pressing down the connecting wire 61 from above, but is separated from the connecting wire 60 of the first wire group 62.
[0042]
Here, in a state where the first wire group 62 and the second wire group 63 are both erected, as shown in FIG. 10B, the interval A1 between the adjacent wires 35 is the first to third. As in the embodiment, it is relatively narrow and has a size suitable for arranging relatively shallow dishes 15. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, in a state where the second wire group 63 is erected and the first wire group 62 is prone, adjacent wires in the erected state are laid. The interval A2 between the holes 35 is about twice as large as the interval A1, and as shown in FIG. 13, has a size suitable for arranging the dishes 64 having a relatively large thickness t. Then, in a state where both the first and second wire groups 62 and 63 are prone, the facing wires 35 are mixed with each other as in the first embodiment and the third embodiment. Therefore, the first and second wire groups 62 and 63 are connected to each other so that the wires 35 can be raised and lowered, and are provided so as to be selectable in different states of standing and prone.
[0043]
In the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 10, when the first and second wire groups 62 and 63 in the front and rear two rows are both erected, the relatively shallow dish 15 is set between the adjacent wires 35. be able to.
As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, when each first wire group 62 is prone in a state where each of the second wire groups 63 in the front and rear two rows is erected, the distance between the wires 35 in the erected state is reduced. The interval A2 is widened, and a deep dish 64 can be set there.
[0044]
As shown in FIG. 14, in a state in which the first and second wire groups 62 and 63 in the front and rear two rows are both prone, a large space can be secured thereon. The object to be cleaned 44 can be set.
Therefore, by selecting a case where the first and second wire groups 62 and 63 are both erected, a case where they are prone together, and a case where only the first wire group 63 is prone, the object to be cleaned that can be set is selected. It is possible to increase the types.
[0045]
Further, in the above-described configuration, since the three wires 35 of the first wire group 62 of the first and second wire groups 62 and 63 are connected inside by the connection wire 60, the first and second wires are connected. In a state where the second wire groups 62 and 63 are both prone, the first wire group 62 and the second wire are rotated by holding one wire 35 of the first wire group 62 in the upright direction. The group 63 can be raised at a time. Moreover, since the two wires 35 of the first wire group 63 connected on the inside are arranged at both ends, they are easy to hold and operate when standing them.
[0046]
In the above configuration, the front and rear two rows of the wires 35 are each five, but the number is not limited to an odd number and may be an even number. Also, the way of connecting the wires 35 of the first and second wire groups 62 and 63 is not necessarily limited to every other wire.
[0047]
