Definitions

  • the invention relates to an insert for a dish basket of an automatic dish washer according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • an insert for a dish basket in an automatic dish washer for cleaning and drying silverware pieces and small dishes.
  • at least one dish basket is provided with a silverware basket, that can be inserted therein, having openings for the penetration of dish washing liquid in the floor of the silverware basket and the-walls of the silverware basket, respectively.
  • the insert is provided with several insert compartments separated from one another by dividing walls. Additionally, a tray may be inserted into the basket floor of the dish basket, having additional openings for silverware pieces to be hung and/or fasteners and/or retainers for small dishes, or may be loaded into the dish basket in a lid-like fashion.
  • the dish basket known has an even usable height throughout in spite of the differently big and/or long silverware pieces. Some silverware pieces stand in the inserted compartments, others, particularly small parts, are hanging from the openings of the tray. The hanging ones, and the contacting silverware pieces as well, are critical regarding the run-off of drops of dish washing liquid, developing drying spots at those points of the silverware pieces, at which they contact the insert.
  • the invention is based on the object to provide an insert of the type described, by which an improved drying result can be achieved compared to conventional solutions.
  • the insert embodied according to the invention results in an essentially improved drying result for the silverware pieces and/or small dishes placed into the insert.
  • the silverware pieces and/or the small dishes may be placed, depending on their respective length/size/shape, into the insert compartment with the corresponding compartment floor having the suitable height such that they stand on the compartment floor and are no longer required to hang.
  • the run-off of drops of dish washing liquid is enhanced, which otherwise lead to the undesired drying spots.
  • the hanging, particularly of the small pieces into a cover, causing the run-off problems mentioned for the drops, is eliminated by the insert compartments having compartment floors of different levels.
  • the improved drying is also beneficial for the cleaning performance of a rinsing and drying program of an automatic dish washer.
  • the height of the compartment floors is adjustable to the length and/or the size of the silverware pieces and/or the small dishes. This results, depending on requirements, in sections, partially adjusted in their useful height, which can be combined for a variably adjustable insert for most different silverware pieces and/or small dishes.
  • the insert compartments form a silverware basket provided with a compartment floor having various usable heights provided by the floors of the silverware basket.
  • the insert is embodied as a silverware basket 1 for being loaded with silverware pieces and/or small dishes, in the example selected using spoons 2 and 3 having different lengths and/or size.
  • This silverware basket 1 may be loosely arranged in a dish basket in an automatic dish washer or may be mounted to it firmly or movably.
  • the elementary structure of this silverware basket 1 having side walls, a floor and/or a cover is equivalent to the insert described in the German patent DE 36 41 020.
  • the silverware basket 1 comprises a total of three insert compartments 4 , 5 , 6 , separated from one another by two vertically extending dividing walls 7 and 8 .
  • the silverware basket may be provided with a different number of compartments, however, at least two separated ones.
  • at least two insert compartments here, for example, the insert compartments 4 and 5 or 5 and 6 are provided with compartment floors 4 ′ and 5 ′ or 5 ′ and 6 ′ being arranged at different levels.
  • the long spoon 2 as shown, is loaded into the insert compartment 4 with the corresponding compartment floor 4 ′ and the longer usable height, so that it stands securely on the compartment floor 4 ′.
  • the insert compartment 5 positioned in the center of the exemplary embodiment shown, serves for accepting and/or loading the short spoon 3 , so that this one as well stands securely on the corresponding compartment floor 5 ′.
  • the three insert compartments 4 , 5 , 6 are preferably provided with compartment floors 4 ′, 5 ′, 6 ′ positioned in different levels, in order to create various usable heights for the silverware basket 1 , partially adjustable in the individual sections. Overall, this creates a floor of a silverware basket having different utilization heights by the insert compartment floors 4 ′, 5 ′, 6 ′ of the compartments 4 , 5 , 6 being individually adjustable in height. This allows a raising or lowering of the floor of the silverware basket in selected sections, in order to optimize the drying result when loading the insert with silverware pieces and/or with small dishes of various length, size, shape, etc., in particular.
  • the improved drying is achieved by the variable embodiment of the insert according to the invention such, that the run-off of the dish washing liquid off a silverware basket having various usable heights is improved.
  • the silverware pieces and/or small dishes in any case resting on the compartment floors 4 ′, 5 ′, 6 ′, dry faster.
  • the rapid and autonomous slippage of the dish washing liquid off the respective insert compartments 4 , 5 , 6 , having a compartment floor 4 ′, 5 ′, 6 ′ suitable height not only optimizes the drying performance, additionally it advantageously improves the cleaning performance of the rinsing and drying program of an automatic dish washer.
