Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cutlery basket used in dishwashers.
  • Forks, spoons and knives disposed in the cutlery baskets are generally taken out by being held from the end portions, which will contact the food, while being taken out after washing, and this situation causes a problem in terms of hygiene. Furthermore, for example, when knives are tried to be taken out by being held from their sharp and pointed ends, injuries can happen.
  • a cutlery basket which is used in dishwashers and which comprises a body wherein small sized items such as forks, spoons etc. are placed, and a base that carries the items placed in the body and that can be moved upwards and downwards inside the body and when moved upwards in the body pushes upwards the items thereon such that the ends of the items project outwards from the body.
  • separators which separate the inside of the body and which provide the items to be carried in a more balanced manner by providing the items to bear on are used.
  • the separators since the separators move with the base when the base is moved upwards, they extend towards the outside of the body. This situation makes the items to be unloaded from the body difficult.
  • Separators are preferably produced shorter in consideration to the height of the body to solve the problem. The separators being short cause the items placed in the cutlery basket not to be carried in a balanced manner and the items can fall over one another. Therefore, problems such as not cleaning the items thoroughly are encountered.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a cutlery basket that is used for placing items such as forks and spoons in the dishwasher, and which provides both hygienic and ergonomic conditions of use for the user.
  • the cutlery basket of the present invention comprises a body wherein the items such as fork, spoon, etc. are placed and which has a base and side walls. The access of the user to the handle portions of the items is facilitated by moving the base and the side walls with respect to each other.
  • the cutlery basket further comprises at least one separator the length of which lengthens and shortens as a result of the movement of the base and the side walls with respect to each other and which divides the inside of the body into compartments during the movement.
  • the compartmental structure of the body can be maintained by preventing the formation of any extension or protrusion towards the outside of the body during the movement of the base and the side walls with respect to each other.
  • undesired situations such as separators hitting the user's hands during the access to the handle portions of the items by the user, etc. are prevented.
  • the separators consist of two pieces. One piece of the separator is fixed to the base and the other to the side walls. During the movement of the base and the side walls with respect to each other, the pieces of the separator also move with respect to each other.
  • both pieces of the separator are in plate form. During the movement of the base and the side walls with respect to each other, the pieces of the separator also make a sliding movement with respect to each other.
  • one piece of the separator is in plate form and the other in casing form.
  • the pieces of the separator are positioned in the body by being inserted into each other. At least some portion of the piece in casing form of the separator surrounds the end portion of the piece in plate form. During the movement of the base and the side walls with respect to each other, the pieces of the separator also make a telescopic movement with respect to each other.
  • one piece of the separator is inverse U-shaped. Thus, accumulation of dirt between pieces of the separators is prevented.
  • the separator is in bellows form.

  • the total length of the body is changed by moving the side walls upwards, downwards with respect to the guardrails.
  • the piece of the separator connected to the base is fixed, the piece thereof connected to the side walls moves upwards, downwards with the side walls.
  • the bearing of the items is facilitated by providing one piece of the separator to be positioned above the other and thus the items are provided to be carried in a more balanced manner.
  • the cutlery basket [0015] In another embodiment of the present invention, the cutlery basket
  • the separator comprises a locking mechanism having at least one stopper situated on one of the pieces of the separator and an opening situated on the other piece of the separator into which the stopper seats.

  • the upward movement of the side walls and the movable piece of the separator is limited by the upper edge of the opening bearing on the stopper.
  • the height of the opening is almost equal to the distance the side walls move vertically.

  • the cutlery basket (1) is used in dishwashers for the purpose of placing items (E) such as forks, spoons, etc. in an effective washing position.
  • the cutlery basket (1) of the present invention comprises a body (2)
  • the user prefers to unload the items from body (2) by holding from the handle portions remaining below the end portions, without holding from the used (contacting foods) portions of items, for example not from the pointed and sharp ends of items such as knives, in order to provide hygienic and ergonomic conditions of use. Therefore, he/she can take the items (E) out from the body (2) by bringing them to the position where he/she can easily access the handle portions by moving the base (3) and the side walls (4).
  • the separators (5) By means of the separators (5), the inside of the body (2) is separated into independent compartments. Thus, by providing the items (E) placed in the body to bear on the side walls (4) and the separators (5), they are provided to be carried in a more balanced manner. Furthermore, by providing the items (E) to contact each other less during the washing process, washing efficiency is increased and more hygienic conditions of use are created. [0035] During the movement of the base (3) or the side walls (4) with respect to each other, the length of the separators (5) lengthens and shortens. By changing the length of the separators (5), the length of the separator (5) is provided not to exceed the level of the upper edges of the side walls (4).
  • the compartmental structure of the inside of the body (2) can be maintained by preventing the formation of any extension or protrusion towards the outside of the body (2) during the movement of the base (3) or the side walls (4) with respect to each other. Accordingly, the user can perform the loading/unloading operation of items (E) more conveniently without hitting any barrier. Furthermore, risks such as the items (E) falling over others, etc. are prevented by lengthening and shortening the length of the separators (5) during the movement of the base (3) or the side walls

  • the piece (B) of the separator (5) fixed to the side walls (4) moves together with the side walls (4).
  • the length of the separator (5) is provided to be changed by lengthening and shortening. Furthermore, by producing the separator (5) in two pieces (A, B) and fixing it both to the base (3) and to the side walls (4), the strength of the base (3) and the side walls (4) is increased, and the base (3) and the side walls (4) acquire a more rigid structure instead of a resilient structure.
