Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dishwasher comprising a shelf wherein the items to be washed are placed.
  • baskets are disposed on the washing cabin so that small items such as cutlery are washed thoroughly and are not dispersed around.
  • the washed items is enabled to be cleaner and any deformation to any items and the machine resulting from dispersing of the items is prevented.
  • These baskets can be disposed on the lower rack as well as in areas in the vicinity of the ceiling of the washing cabin, as preferred recently.
  • the washing capacity of the lower shelf is increased and larger items such as plates that occupy more space are enabled to be washed.
  • the water directly reaches to the basket that is located near the ceiling.
  • the items are enabled to be placed in an orderly manner.
  • cutlery baskets used between the ceiling and the upper rack are very close to the ceiling in most of the cases. Therefore, placement of longer items, such as scoops, on the cutlery basket becomes difficult. Moreover, when placed on the upper rack, longer items get caught on the cutlery basket. This may prevent taller items from being placed onto the upper rack and cause deformations on the items or on the cutlery basket. Therefore, cutlery baskets that can be attached to/detached from the upper rack can be used. However, the upper rack space remaining under the attached cutlery basket can be used in a limited manner. Therefore, the interior space of the dishwasher cannot be used effectively.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a dishwasher wherein the interior volume of the washing cabin can be effectively used.
  • the dishwasher realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a body; a washing cabin that is disposed on the body, wherein the items to be washed are placed by the user, and a rack disposed in the washing cabin.
  • the shelf is disposed between the ceiling of the washing cabin and the rack.
  • the dishwasher of the present invention comprises the shelf that is disposed in the vicinity of the ceiling of the washing cabin, wherein small items are placed, that can be attached to and detached from the rack by the user and that has an upper position and a lower position.
  • the shelf is moved between the upper position and the lower position by means of a foot under the shelf. When in the upper position, the shelf moves away from the rack. In the lower position, on the other hand, the distance between the shelf and the rack decreases and the shelf moves away from the ceiling of the washing cabin.
  • the foot comprises an upper position element that enables the shelf to be in the upper position by increasing the distance between the shelf and the rack, and a lower position element that enables the shelf to be in the lower position by bringing the shelf closer to the rack.
  • the shelf moves away from the rack and shifts to the upper position.
  • the shelf comprises a holder wherein the lower position element moves by rotating.
  • the foot is fixed on the shelf by means of the holder.
  • the shelf shifts between the lower position and the upper position, the lower position element rotates in the holder.
  • the foot comprises the upper position element that extends from over the shelf toward the rack when the lower position member rotates by 90 degrees and is concealed under the shelf when the lower position element rotates in reverse direction by 90 degrees.
  • the upper position element extends from over the shelf toward the rack, the lower position element is concealed under the shelf.
  • the shelf comprises more than one claw that enables the upper position element to be fixed.
  • the upper position element is fixed by means of the claws.
  • the upper position element and the lower position element are produced as integrated with each other.
  • the lower position element is L-shaped.
  • Figure 1 – is the perspective view of the dishwasher.
  • Figure 2 - is the perspective view of the rack when the shelf is in the upper position.
  • Figure 3 - is the perspective view of the rack when the shelf is in the lower position.
  • Figure 4 - is the perspective view of the lower position element, the holder and the claw.
  • Figure 5 - is the perspective view of the upper position element, the holder and the claw.

  • the foot (6) comprises an upper position element (7) that enables the shelf (4) to remain in the upper position (U) by increasing the distance between the shelf (4) and the rack (5) and a lower position element (8) that enables the shelf (4) to approach the rack (5) and remain in the lower position (L).
  • the upper position element (7) enables the shelf (4) to move away from the rack (5).
  • the rack (5) is enabled to be used more effectively while the shelf (4) can be used as well.
