Abstract
The present invention relates to a cutlery basket (1) suitable for use in dishwashers, comprising a first basket (2) and a second basket (3) having openings (O) of different sizes in which items such as forks, spoons, etc. are placed.
Description
The present invention relates to a cutlery basket used in dishwashers.
It is rather difficult to wash items of small sizes with many indentations in dishwashers. Therefore, baskets are provided on the washing cabinet in which small-sized items such as forks and spoons are placed for being well-washed and not being dashed during washing. Thus, washed items are made to be cleaner and deformations on the items and on the machine to arise from being dashed is prevented. However, smaller-sized forks and knives stay in the basket and are not fully washed as the baskets are too deep. Therefore, separators are used on the baskets. Small-sized items e.g. forks, spoons, etc., are individually placed on the openings provided in the separator. The washing performance is thus increased and the items are prevented from being dashed. Separators can also comprise openings of different sizes. Items of different sizes can thus be placed on the separator. However, the openings on the separator are not sufficient to meet the needs of the user or cannot be used as there are of an excessive number. Separators therefore prevent effective use of the volume of the basket.
In state of the art international patent application no. WO2011154386, a cutlery basket is mentioned which enables the capability of variable volume storage thanks to storage units movable with respect to each other.
The aim of the present invention is to realize a cutlery basket which can be used in accordance with user needs.
Cutlery basket suitable for use in dishwashers realized to achieve the aim of the present invention and disclosed in the claims, comprises a first basket and a second basket comprising on them openings of different sizes. Items to be washed, for example forks, spoons, etc. are placed on the openings.
The cutlery basket of the invention comprises a first basket and a second basket rotatable in various directions, and a movement mechanism enabling simultaneous use of the openings of different sizes by rotation of the first basket and the second basket. The first basket and the second basket comprise openings of different sizes on their different surfaces.
In an embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism comprises a handle, a movement member arranged on the handle, a first coupling member arranged on the first basket, and a second coupling member arranged on the second basket. The movement member is arranged so as to rotate on a horizontal axis extending between the side surfaces of the movement member. The first coupling member and the second coupling member enable coupling of the first basket and the second basket.
In an embodiment of the invention, the cutlery basket comprises a female or male first coupling member, and a male or female second coupling member capable of rotating by intertwining each other.
In an embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism comprises a movement member. The first coupling member and the second coupling member connect on the movement member.
In an embodiment of the invention, the cutlery basket comprises one or more rotatable and movable shelves. The movable shelf is arranged on the handle.
In an embodiment of the invention, the cutlery basket comprises a handle having openings of different sizes in which items such as forks, spoons, etc. are placed. A seat and a tab attached on the seat, are arranged on the handle. The tab is released from the seat and the handle is split into two pieces according to user needs.
In an embodiment of the invention, a connecting member is arranged between the handle and the movement member. The connecting member allows rotation of the handle on horizontal and vertical axes. At least one locking member is arranged on the handle. The handle is fixed by means of the locking member on the movement member when it rotates on the vertical axis.
In an embodiment of the invention, the first basket and/or the second basket comprise a cover. The cover forms a surface of the basket and can be attached/detached according to desire of the user.

Openings are arranged on all surfaces of the first basket (2) and the second basket (3). The sizes of the openings on each different surface are different from each other. Openings on different surfaces can be used together by rotation of the first basket (2) and the second basket (3). For example, the surface of the first basket (2) comprising small openings and the surface of the second basket (3) comprising large openings can be used by bringing them together. The cutlery basket (1) can thus be used with different options depending of desire of the user.
In an embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism (4) comprises a handle (5), a movement member (6) arranged so as to be rotatable on the horizontal axis extending between the side surfaces of the handle (5), a first coupling member (7) arranged on the surface of the first basket (2) facing the second basket (3), enabling coupling of the first basket (2) with the second basket (3), and a second coupling member (8) arranged on the surface of the second basket (3) facing the first basket (2), enabling coupling of the second basket (3) with the first basket (2). The first coupling member (7) and the second coupling member (8) enable coupling of the first basket (2) and the second basket (3).
In an embodiment of the invention, the cutlery basket (1) comprises a male or female first coupling member (7), and a male or female second coupling member (8) being able to perform rotary motion by intertwining each other. The first coupling member (7) and the second coupling member (8) can rotate by intertwining each other.
In an embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism (4) comprises a movement member (6) on which the first coupling member (7) and the second coupling member (8) connect. The movement member (6) is interposed between the first basket (2) and the second basket (3). The movement member (6) also enables the handle to connect with the cutlery basket since it is arranged on the handle (5).
In an embodiment of the invention, the cutlery basket (1) comprises one or more movable shelves (9) rotatably mounted on the handle (5). The movable shelves (9) can rotate on the handle (5) depending of the direction of use. They can be detached by the user from the handle (5) when not in use.
In an embodiment of the invention, the cutlery basket (1) comprises a handle (5) having openings (O) of different sizes in which items such as forks, spoons, etc. are placed, which can be split into two pieces and can be joined thanks to a seat (10) provided on thereof and a tab (11) attached on the seat (10). Openings in which cutlery of different sizes can be placed, are arranged on the handle (5). The handle (5) can thus be used as a loading area. It can be split into two pieces by separation of the seat (10) and the tab (11) arranged thereon.
In an embodiment of the invention, the cutlery basket (1) comprises a connecting member (12) enabling connection of the handle (5) and the movement member (6), and rotation of the handle (5) in horizontal and vertical axes, and at least one locking member (13) enabling fixing of the handle (5) on the movement member (6) when the handle (5) rotates in vertical axis. A connecting member (12) arranged between the handle (5) and the movement member (6), enable rotation of the handle (5) in horizontal and vertical axes when it is split into two pieces.
