BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a dish basket installed in a dishwasher for storing dishes to be washed.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of a conventional tableware basket for a dishwasher disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-41026. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a car main body, and a plurality of support wires 2 are arranged in parallel with each other and intersect at the bottom.
It is composed of 3. Reference numeral 4 designates a prismatic guide tool attached to the intersection of the support wires 2 and 3, and has a plurality of guide grooves 5 formed on its upper surface. Reference numeral 6 denotes an auxiliary car which is detachably attached to the car main body 1, and is composed of a support wire 7 and a plurality of set pins 8 fixed at regular intervals. Note that auxiliary cars similar to the auxiliary car 6 are attached to the sides and above the auxiliary car 6, but are not shown.

A conventional tableware basket for a dishwasher is constructed as described above, and the auxiliary basket 6 is attached by press-fitting the support wire 7 into the guide groove 5 of the guide tool 4. By arranging tableware (not shown) between the set pins 8, the tableware is stored in the basket body 1, and set in the washing tank.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional tableware basket for a dishwasher as described above, since the spacing between the set pins 8 is constant, there is a problem in that it is inconvenient when storing tableware of different depths. There is.

The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a dishwasher basket that can easily accommodate dishes of different depths.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The tableware basket for a dishwasher according to the present invention has a set pin inserted through a support wire so as to be slidable along the support wire.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned device, a spring for pressing the set pin is fitted in the support wire.

[0008]

[Operation] In this invention, the set pin is made slidable along the support wire, so that the set pin can be moved according to the depth of the tableware.

Furthermore, since a spring is provided to press the set pin, the tableware is pressed in one direction.

【Example】

Example 1. 1 to 3 are diagrams showing one embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 1 is a perspective view, FIG. 2 is an enlarged side view of the set pin portion, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the set pin, which is different from the conventional device. Similar parts are indicated by the same reference numerals.

In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a set pin consisting of a sliding tube 11a and a pin 11b fixed to the sliding tube 11a at one end. are connected to each other by a connecting rod 11c. Further, the pin 11b extends upward from the sliding tube 11a.

In the dishwasher basket constructed as described above, dishes are set between the set pins 11 as in the conventional device, but the set pins 11 are slid according to the depth of the dishes. This allows tableware of different depths to be easily set.

Example 2. 4 and 5 are views showing another embodiment of the present invention, with FIG. 4 being a side view and FIG. 5 being an enlarged view of the main parts. In this embodiment, a push spring 13 is fitted to the support wire 3 of the first embodiment. 14 is tableware. That is, since the set pin 11 is pressed in one direction by the pressure spring 13, especially when a large number of tableware 14 are lined up, the tableware 14 is pressed by the pressure spring 13 and is held securely.

[0014]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, in this invention, the set pin is inserted into the support wire so that it can slide along the support wire, so the set pin can be moved according to the depth of the tableware. It has the effect of allowing you to easily store different types of tableware.

[0015] Furthermore, since the support wire is fitted with a spring that presses the set pin, there is an effect that the tableware can be pressed in one direction and held securely.
