Description

  The present invention relates to a dishwasher having an improved tableware basket.

In general, a dishwasher equipped in a dishwasher is required to store as many dishes as possible in order to support the dishes to be cleaned, and to be able to be washed reliably and to be easy to use. Yes. In particular, the more compact type that uses the dishwasher installed on the kitchen sink, it is strongly desired to arrange and store dishes efficiently in a small space. This is important in line with the recent trend toward compactness. One of the challenges.
Therefore, conventionally, for example, a rotatable shelf is provided above one side of the tableware basket, and if necessary, the shelf is expanded to place cups, cups, etc. so that more tableware can be washed (for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2001-231737 A (4th and 5th pages, FIG. 1)

  However, in the above-described conventional one, the size and shape of the shelf itself are greatly limited in terms of the rotational structure and space, and there is a limit on the number of dishes that can be accommodated in a tableware basket that is a washing capacity that can be washed once. There is a need for further increase in storage capacity. In addition, if all the tableware on the shelf is not taken out, the tableware below it cannot be taken out.

  Therefore, as a countermeasure, for example, it may be possible to arrange tableware baskets of approximately the same capacity in two upper and lower stages in the cleaning tank, but the limited space in the vertical direction of the cleaning tank due to the arrangement of two upper and lower stages. Is narrowed and restricted by the height of the available tableware, especially when stored, making it unsuitable for cleaning large and small tableware, or having difficulty in storing a small arrangement in a tableware basket. Also had problems such as lowering.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention can store many dishes by improving the tableware basket, and can accommodate and wash a wide variety of tableware in particular, and can also accommodate tall dishes. The object is to provide a dishwasher that is easy to use.

In order to achieve the above object, a dishwasher according to the present invention is provided with a tableware basket in which a tableware is stored in a washing tank so that it can be taken in and out from the front surface of the washing tank. And the upper tableware basket is composed of a car body and a tableware support member that can be attached to and detached from the car body and whose mounting height position can be changed. The position setting where the mounting height of the member is high is a structure that supports the frame on the front and rear sides of the car body, whereas the position setting where the mounting height is low is set on the left and right frame parts of the car body. It is characterized by having a structure for mounting and supporting .

  According to the tableware washing machine of the present invention, a large number of dishes can be stored in the upper and lower two stages, and the tableware support member provided in the upper table basket is mounted while the table baskets are arranged in the upper and lower two stages. Since the height position can be changed, particularly tall dishes can be stored on the lower side corresponding to the height without any trouble, and various kinds of dishes can be washed as desired.

Embodiments to which the present invention is referred will be described below with reference to FIGS.
First, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the external configuration of the dishwasher, and shows the dishwasher main body 11, the door 12 provided on the front surface thereof, and the operation panel 13. Among them, the main body 11 is configured to include an outer box 14 that roughly constitutes the outer shell, a cleaning tank 19 and a cleaning mechanism portion 21 (both see FIG. 2) provided in the outer box 14 and the like. .

  The door 12 includes a lower door 12a that rotates about a lower end portion and an upper door 12b that rotates about an upper end portion, and the lower door 12a of the door 12 is configured to be interlocked with a door lock mechanism (not shown). Therefore, the unlocking button 15 and the handle 16 are provided. Therefore, when the door 12 is opened, if the handle 16 is pulled forward while pressing the unlocking button 15, the lower door 12a is rotated downward. Then, the upper door 12b is rotated upward in conjunction with the opening so that the front surface is largely opened. The upper door 12b is provided with an exhaust port 17 communicating with the cleaning tank.

On the other hand, the operation panel 13 is used for setting the operation course of the dishwasher and performing operations related to the start and stop of the operation. Although not described in detail, various operation keys 13a such as a course setting key and a start key are provided. I have.
As shown in FIG. 2, a control device 18 composed of a microcomputer or the like is disposed on the back side of the operation panel 13, and this is based on the operation input of the operation panel 13, and the operation of the dishwasher in general. To control.

  Next, the internal configuration of the main body 11 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 1 is a front view of the main body 11 with the door 12 removed, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal side view showing the main body 11 cut away. As shown in FIG. 2, the cleaning tank 19 occupying a large space is disposed in the outer box 14. The washing tank 19 forms an entrance / exit 20 for tableware with its front surface largely open, and is closed watertight by the doors 12 (the lower door 12a and the upper door 12b) that open and close the entire surface of the entrance / exit 20. Yes.

  The above-described cleaning mechanism 21 is disposed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 19. The mechanism portion 21 includes a cleaning pump 22, a pump motor 23 that drives the cleaning pump 22, and an injection body 26 that will be described later. A drainage pump 24 that is coaxially arranged with the cleaning pump 22 is also included in the pump motor 23. Are controlled so that they can be driven in common. As the control means, a motor capable of rotating the pump motor 23 forward and backward is used. For example, the cleaning pump 23 normally functions as a pump during clockwise rotation, while the drain pump 24 does not function, and drains during reverse rotation. The pump 24 normally functions as a pump and can drain from the drain pipe 25 to the outside of the machine, but the configuration of the pump runner or the clutch mechanism is provided so that the cleaning pump 22 does not function.

  In this way, with respect to the cleaning pump 23 provided on the outer bottom surface side of the cleaning tank 19, the spray body 26 functioning as a rotating nozzle is communicated and supported on the inner bottom side of the cleaning tank 19 by the shaft cylinder portion 27. The cylindrical portion 27 is connected to the discharge side of the cleaning pump 22 and is thus configured as the cleaning mechanism portion 21. Further, the suction side of the cleaning pump 22 is connected to the recess 19a, which is the lowest part of the cleaning tank 19, via the connecting pipe 28. Accordingly, for example, during the cleaning operation, the cleaning mechanism 21 is driven to drive the cleaning tank. The cleaning water supplied into the interior 19 is pumped from the recess 19 a to the ejector 26 via the cleaning pump 22, and is ejected from the ejector 26 mainly upward in the cleaning tank 19. Repeat the water cycle. In this case, the ejector 26 is rotated by utilizing the reaction when the cleaning water is ejected in the lateral direction.

  Furthermore, a heater 29 such as a sheathed heater is disposed on the inner bottom of the cleaning tank 19 so that the outside air taken in during the heating or drying operation of the cleaning water is heated and heated. As the warm air heating means, although details are omitted, an air blower 30 is disposed on the back side of the cleaning tank 19, and the outside air taken in by the air blower 30 is supplied from the vicinity of the heater 29 below the cleaning tank 19. The heater 29 is heated and warmed.

  Further, as a means for supplying water to the cleaning tank 19, a water supply valve 31 is provided so that water can be supplied inward from the back side of the cleaning tank 19 so that tap water as an external water supply source can be supplied. A water level detection device 32 is provided to control the amount of water supplied by the water supply means, which includes, for example, a float type switch (not shown) that operates by detecting a predetermined water level. It is provided in communication with the inner bottom.

As is apparent from FIGS. 1 and 2, a dish basket 33 arranged in two upper and lower stages is accommodated in the washing tank 19 so as to be able to be taken in and out of the entrance / exit 20.
In the following, the tableware basket 33 will be described in detail. This tableware basket is arranged at the bottom to store so-called tableware such as tableware such as tea bowls and cups and cooking utensils (tools) such as pots and chopping boards. 33a and a tableware basket 33b arranged in the upper stage, and in the present embodiment, these tableware baskets 33a and 33b are independent components, and can be operated independently. Yes. Each of these tableware baskets 33a and 33b is formed in a container shape having a substantially rectangular frame shape with wires assembled and an open upper surface.

  First, the lower tableware basket 33a will be described. This forms a storage space for tableware having a relatively shallow container shape. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. A storage space A for arranging so-called tall dishes that are vertically long when storing a large plate 34, a long spoon 35, chopsticks 36, etc., and a tea bowl 37, a bowl (not shown), etc. in the remaining left half It is set as the space division made into the storage space B which arranges the general tableware.

  Therefore, in the tall storage space A of the tableware on the right side of the figure, a plurality of long tableware supports 38 (see FIG. 2) standing upside down from the bottom are arranged, and a cylindrical accessory case 39 is provided. Is held upright. Therefore, between the tableware supports 38, among the dishes 34, in the illustrated example, a small bowl 34a having a small diameter and a middle dish 34b having a large diameter are arranged in a line in the horizontal direction in a standing state, and The accessory case 39 accommodates and supports the spoon 35, chopsticks 36, and the like.

On the other hand, in the general tableware storage space B on the left side of the figure, a plurality of short tableware supports 40 standing upside down from the bottom are arranged. As shown in FIG. 1, the first and second supports 40a and 40b, which are long and short, are configured as a pair. Therefore, the individual teacups 37 are arranged and supported so that the individual teacups 37 are sandwiched between the supports 40a and 40b, and as shown in FIG.
Incidentally, the lower tableware basket 33a having such a configuration is arranged above the jetting body 26, and on both the left and right sides of the lower tableware basket 33a with respect to the rail members 41 fixed to the left and right side walls of the washing tub 19. It is placed and supported so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction via a slide member 42 attached to the lower part.

  Next, the details of the configuration of the upper tableware basket 33b will be described later. First, the general configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. That is, a portion corresponding to the upper part of the storage space A for the tall tableware on the right side of the lower tableware basket 33a is formed as a so-called shallow storage space C with the bottom at the upper side, and the storage space B on the left side is also formed. A so-called deep storage space D having a bottom portion at a lower position is formed in a portion corresponding to the upper side of the head. In the illustrated example, the right shallow storage space C stores relatively small dishes such as a cup 43 and a mug (not shown), while the left deep storage space D includes a pot. Large tableware such as 44 can be stored.

  In addition, as a support means of the upper tableware basket 33b, the slide members 46 mounted on the left and right sides of the tableware basket 33b are slidable with respect to the rail members 45 fixed to the left and right side walls of the washing tub 19. The sliding support means is configured to be engaged and supported, and the slide member 46 and the rail member 45 will be described in detail later so that the height position of the upper table basket 33b can be changed in the vertical direction. The engagement support position can be changed.

4 and 5 are disclosed in order to explain the specific configuration of the upper tableware basket 33b and the slide member 46, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the assembled state of the both. FIG.
In the following, the upper tableware basket 33b is characterized in that the tableware support member 47 constituting a part of the tableware basket 33b can be attached and detached, as is apparent from FIG. The tableware support member 47 constitutes a part corresponding to the shallow storage space C described above.
That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper tableware basket 33b has a structure in which the car body 48 and the tableware support member 47 are detachably incorporated. Therefore, the car body 48 has a shallow storage space C on the right side thereof. On the side, an open port 48a is formed such that the bottom is removed, and only the peripheral frame is formed of a wire.

  On the other hand, the tableware support member 47 is mainly composed of a shelf 47a that assembles wires in a lattice shape to form a flat shelf-like bottom, and stands one wire upward from the four corners thereof, from the side. An arm portion 47b that is bent in the front-rear direction as viewed and formed in an inverted L shape, and an inverted L-shaped handle that is positioned between the two arm portions 47b on the front side and formed in an approximately same shape It is comprised from the arm part 47c. Among them, the arm portions 47b at the four corners can be flexibly elastically deformed with a single wire at the tip, while the handle / arm portion 47c is bent in an inverted U shape on the free end side. As a result, the handle portion is formed, and thus elastic deformation with increased rigidity is made possible, and an engagement recess 47d recessed rearward is formed in the upper portion.

  Thus, to configure the upper tableware basket 33b shown in FIG. 4, the tableware support member 47 is inserted into the opening 48a of the car body 48 from above as shown in FIG. The two arm portions 47b on the side are engaged so as to be hooked on the rear frame portion 48b of the peripheral frame, and then the handle / arm portion 47c on the front side of the tableware support member 47 is pushed downward while pressing downward. To do. Then, the handle / arm portion 47c is inserted while being elastically deformed while being in sliding contact with the inner surface of the front frame portion 48c of the peripheral frame. When the handle / arm portion 47c is inserted to the position of the engagement recess portion 47d, the recess portion 47d is inserted into the front frame portion 48c. At the same time, the front arm portion 47b is also inserted into the front frame portion 48c while being elastically deformed, and is engaged in a downward-preventing state.

  As a result, the tableware support member 47 mounted on the shallow storage space C side of the car body 48 closes the opening 48a to form a bottom portion on the shallow storage space C side by the shelf 47a and has four corners. In addition to being pressed and elastically held mainly by the lower arm 47b and the handle / arm 47c, the handle / arm 47c Due to the elastic engagement with the front frame portion 48c, an upward pull-out preventing action is obtained in particular, and the state is securely held. In this case, not only the elastic deformation of the tableware support member 47 described above, but also the elastic deformation of the front frame portions 48b and 48C can be used after the peripheral frame is configured, so that it can be easily press-fitted under effective elastic deformation. Can be installed.

  Conversely, when removing the tableware support member 47 in the assembled state, the procedure may be reversed. That is, first, the end of the highly rigid handle / arm 47c is grasped and lifted upward while pushing backward (backward). Then, the engagement of the engagement recess 47d with the front frame portion 48c on the front side and the arm portion 47b are released from the press-fitted state, and the engagement portion between the arm portion 47b on the rear side and the rear frame portion 48b is a fulcrum. Is turned upward. Therefore, the tableware support member 47 can be removed from this state by lifting it upward, and in this case, the upper tableware basket 33b can be easily attached and detached with the tableware basket 33b taken out from the entrance / exit 20.

  FIGS. 4 and 5 also show a specific configuration of the slide member 46 for the upper table basket 33b described above. As is apparent from the drawing, wires are provided on the left and right side surfaces of the table basket 33b. Using the elasticity, the slide member 46 is mounted by elastic engagement. Further, for example, three stages of groove portions 46a, 46b, 46c of upper and lower stages are provided on both outer side surfaces, and either one of these is selected and rail members 45 ( The upper table basket 33b can be taken in and out of the entrance / exit 20 by being slidably engaged with (see FIG. 1).

  Moreover, when the uppermost groove 46a is selected and engaged with the rail member 45, the upper tableware basket 33b in the washing tub 19 is accommodated and supported at the lowest height position as shown in FIG. In the case of the combination of the lowermost groove portion 46c and the rail member 45, the tableware basket 33b is accommodated and supported at the highest position, and constitutes a support means capable of so-called height adjustment. . This means that the upper table basket 33b can be set at an appropriate height according to the height of the tableware stored in the lower table basket 33a.

  FIG. 6 is a view corresponding to FIG. 1 showing an embodiment in the case where the tableware different from that shown in FIG. 1 is stored in the tableware basket 33. The details of the operation will be described later. In the storage space A for tall dishes on the right side of the basket 33a, for example, a dish 34 (in this case, an inner dish 34b), a barley tea bottle 49, a ladle 50 stored in an accessory case 39, chopsticks 51 and the like are stored. In addition, a plurality of bowls 52 are stored in the storage space B for general tableware on the left side.

On the other hand, in the upper tableware basket 33b, the tableware support member 47 attached to the right shallow storage space C is removed, and no tableware is stored and supported. Further, for example, a plurality of cups 43 are stored and supported in the left deep storage space D.
In this case, the upper table basket 33b is accommodated and supported at the highest position. Therefore, the lowermost groove 46c of the slide member 46 is engaged with the rail member 45, and is supported so as to be slidable.

Next, the operation of the dishwasher configured as described above will be described based on FIG. 1 and FIG.
First, FIG. 1 shows a form that is commonly used, and it is possible to store and wash many dishes at once using the tableware storage space of the tableware baskets 33a and 33b arranged in two upper and lower stages. It is said. In addition, in the present embodiment, the upper table basket 33b is configured to have different heights on the left and right sides, and there are many combinations by combining this with the tableware storage spaces having different heights in the lower table basket 33a. It can cope with cleaning of various types of tableware.

  That is, in the storage space A for the tableware on the right side of the lower tableware basket 33a, the small plate 34a, the middle plate 34b as the relatively tall plate 34, and the spoon 35 and chopsticks stored in the accessory case 39 are provided. 36 etc. are arranged and supported in an upright state using a long tableware support 38. An upper table basket 33b is disposed so that the shallow storage space C is positioned corresponding to the upper side, and a tableware support member 47 is detachably attached to the opening 48a of the space C (see FIG. 4 and 5), and constitutes the bottom of the shallow storage space C.

  Therefore, a plurality of cups 43 are placed and stored on the tableware support member 47 which is a shallow bottom. In this case, as shown in the drawing, the upper table basket 33b is in the support state in which the uppermost groove portion 46a of the slide member 46 and the rail member 45 are engaged with each other. By effectively utilizing the lower side of the tableware support member 47 constituting the bottom of the shallow storage space C, a relatively large dish 34, spoon 35 and the like can be arranged and stored in the lower stage.

  Further, in a general tableware storage space B on the left side of the lower tableware basket 33a, a short tableware such as a plurality of bowls 37 is arranged and supported via a short tableware support 40. Accordingly, the deep bottom storage space D side of the upper table basket 33b can be arranged corresponding to the upper side, and a large pan 44 or the like can be placed on the lower tea bowl 37 without any trouble in the space D as a whole. Can be stored.

  In this manner, the upper tableware basket 33b having a different structure and the lower tableware basket 33a having the storage space A for storing tall tableware are made in a state in which a useless space is made as small as possible in the vertical direction. It can be properly arranged in the washing tub 19 and therefore can effectively store a large number of different tableware over the upper and lower two stages, and the water jetted from the jetting body 26 provided below is for the dishes arranged in the upper stage. Therefore, it can be sprayed effectively and a desired cleaning effect can be expected.

On the other hand, FIG. 6 shows an example suitable for cleaning including tall dishes. As a usage pattern of the dish basket 33, the lower dish basket 33a is in the same state as above, but the upper stage The tableware basket 33b is set in a high storage position and shows a usage form in a state where the tableware support member 47 is removed.
That is, in the lower tableware basket 33a, the storage space A for tall tableware shows a use form in which tableware that is longer than the middle plate 34b is stored for cleaning, and here it is often used in summer. The barley tea bottle 49 to be stored is stored face down, and a ladle 60, chopsticks 51, etc. stored and supported in the accessory case 39 are arranged. In the left general tableware storage space B, for example, a plurality of bowls 52 are arranged and supported.

  For such a particularly tall tableware arranged in the lower stage, the upper table basket 33b is housed and supported in the lowermost stage as shown in FIG. Since the bottle 49 and the like come into contact with each other, in FIG. 6, the slide member 46 is adjusted in height so that the upper table basket 33b is engaged and supported at the uppermost position, and the shallow storage space C is attached / detached. It is set as the use form which removed the possible tableware support member 47. FIG. Therefore, not only the tall but also thick barley tea bottle 49 or a cutting board (not shown) can be stored upright. In the deep storage space D on the left side, the space between the cleaning tank 19 and the ceiling surface is narrowed, so that a plurality of small bowls and the illustrated cups 43 are arranged and supported.

  As a result, tall dishes arranged in the lower stage corresponding to the shallow storage space C side due to the stepped structure of the upper tableware basket 33b can be securely stored without coming into contact with each other, and constitute the space C side. Washing more types of dishes such as taller dishes can be stored at the position corresponding to the opening 48a by making the bottom part open (open opening 48a). Is possible.

  However, the usage form of the upper tableware basket 33b is not limited to the above, and various changes can be made according to the tall tableware arranged in the lower stage. For example, the tableware basket 33b can be mounted with the tableware support member 47 attached. Various deployments are possible, such as when it is only necessary to adjust the height supported on the uppermost stage, or when only the tableware support member 47 is removed while being supported on the middle or lowermost stage and the removal space is used effectively It is.

  Further, the tableware support member 47 removed from the upper tableware basket 33b can be held by the lower tableware basket 33a. For example, the lower table can be stored using a large lattice-like mesh of the flat shelf 47a. By inserting it into a short tableware support 40 standing on the space B side and overlapping the bottom, it can be stored compactly without fear of losing it. It is also possible to support the arrangement, and in this case, it is convenient that the storage state can be dealt with even during the cleaning operation. In addition, it is possible to store and store in the space D as a size that can be stored in the deep space D section of the upper tableware basket 33b.

As described above, the present embodiment has the following effects.
Since the tableware basket 33 is composed of the tableware baskets 33a and 33b arranged in two upper and lower stages, it is possible to store a large amount of tableware while suppressing an increase in the size of the washing tank 19, and the number of tableware that can be washed at one time is increased. I can plan. In addition, since the tableware baskets 33a and 33b are independent components, the loading and unloading operation can be performed lightly and is easy to use. Furthermore, the upper tableware basket 33b has a shallow bottom storage space C and a deep bottom storage space D as different configurations with different heights, so that the combination according to the height of the tableware stored in the lower step Therefore, it is possible to provide a compact dishwasher that can efficiently store and clean a wide variety of dishes such as large diameter, small diameter, large items, and small items.

  In addition to the above, in particular, the tableware support member 47 constituting a part of the upper tableware basket 33b is detachably provided, so that the tableware can be stored depending on the presence or absence of the tableware support member 47. In addition to the effects of the above-described stepped configuration, in particular, when the tableware support member 47 is removed, tall dishes can be stored in the lower tableware basket 33a at a position corresponding to the lower side thereof, and various tableware can be stored. Desired cleaning is possible.

  In addition, since the tableware support member 47 is disposed on the shallow storage space C side, which is a stepped side having a different step structure, it is possible to store even higher tableware in the lower tableware basket 33a. The advantage of being able to store tall tableware in the lower tier without hindering the upper table basin 33b while having the configuration of the tableware basin 33 composed of upper and lower two-tier arrangements, increases the practical value for convenience. obtain. Moreover, since the part which provides the tableware support member 47 so that attachment or detachment is possible is made into the step part side with a high step structure in a present Example, the tableware support member 47 can always be attached or detached on the side which stores tall tableware. The positioning can be specified and the handling is easy.

  Furthermore, the slide members 46 mounted on the left and right sides of the upper tableware basket 33b are slidably engaged with and supported by rail members 45 fixedly provided on both side walls of the washing tub 19, and Since the plurality of grooves 46a to 46c of the slide member 46 with respect to the rail member 45 can be engaged and disengaged and selectively supported, the height position at which the so-called upper tableware basket 33b is set in the washing tub 19 is set. Can be adjusted to multiple stages.

Therefore, it is convenient that the lower table can store taller dishes if it is set on the uppermost level. On the contrary, the lower tableware is like a general fixture or a small dish, or at least these lower levels. Since the upper table basket 33b can be set at the lower position within the range where the tableware does not come into contact, the water jetted from the jetting body 26 provided below acts effectively on the tableware set at the upper stage. A desired cleaning effect can be obtained.
In the above embodiment, the upper table basket 33b has been described as a flat bottom, but this may have a table support 40 such as the lower table basket 33a. The structure of the arm portion 47b to which the camera is attached can be modified as appropriate.

( Example)
7 and 8 are diagrams corresponding to FIGS. 4 and 5 showing an embodiment of the present invention. In the following, the same parts as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted, and only different parts are described. explain.
This is the same as the first embodiment except that only the tableware support member 53 constituting a part of the upper tableware basket 33b is different. That is, the tableware support member 53 is formed by forming an arm portion 53e that rises upward from both left and right sides and has a curled tip, as shown in FIG. Two of the wires to be formed are extended in the left-right direction to form two arm portions 53e, and formed in correspondence with the left-right direction with respect to the arm portions 53b corresponding to the front-rear direction of the four corners. And they have substantially the same standing height.

With respect to the tableware support member 53 having the above-described configuration, the upper tableware basket 33b to which the tableware support member 53 is attached can be attached to the left and right side frames of the peripheral frame of the opening 48a of the car body 48. That is, the right frame portion 48d and the left frame portion 48e, in which a part of the peripheral frame of the opening 48a is made of a wire, are framed at positions lower than the front and rear frame portions 48c and 48b.
Therefore, when the tableware support member 53 is incorporated into the car body 48 using the left and right arm portions 53e, the curl ends of the left and right arm portions 53e are engaged with the left and right frame portions 48e and 48d as shown in FIG. It is jointly supported and is attached at a lower position than the above-described attachment state using the front and rear arm portions 47b (see FIG. 4).

  Next, the usage form of the above configuration will be described. First, as a procedure for attaching the tableware support member 53, the tableware support member 53 is inserted from the lower side of the opening 48a, for example, with the left side up or in a heel-inclined state. First, the left arm 53e is hooked on the left frame 48e, and then the right arm 53e is lifted upward and slightly bent and hooked on the right frame 48d. In this case, since the left and right arm portions 53e are easily elastically deformed by the wire, the tableware support member 53 can be made to have a dimensional relationship that is elastically sandwiched between the left and right frame portions 48e and 48d in the attached state. It can be securely attached and held without inadvertent movement or slight vibration. Note that the tableware support member 53 can be attached while being appropriately bent from above the opening 48a when the upper tableware basket 33b is drawn outward from the entrance / exit 20.

  Thus, in the upper table basket 33b to which the tableware support member 53 is attached as described above, the tableware support member 53 is mounted at a different height so that in the shallow storage space C on the right side, A bottom portion that is slightly deeper than that of the first embodiment is formed, and for example, a mug (not shown) that is slightly larger than a normal cup 43 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) can be stored. It should be noted that the mounting height of the tableware support member 53 is not limited to the present embodiment, and can be easily adjusted to a plurality of stages, and the height position is made equal to the left deep bottom storage space D. The usage pattern can be widely developed.
