Definitions

  • This invention relates to a multi-purpose racks used in dish washing machines, with the height thereof being adjustable.
  • a variety of racks and baskets are used in dish washing machines for the purpose of washing various dining set utensils.
  • the most common are the baskets for forks-spoons-knives and racks for glasses-cups.
  • Forks-spoons-knives having large bodies are usually placed in the spaces found within the upper plate rack.
  • finding space to place items such as ladles that are both large and difficult to place is especially a problem.
  • the case is similar for large and sharp items such as bread knives. Placing items of this sort is also difficult, and the sharp edges of such items damage the coating of the lower and upper baskets.
  • Different rack mechanisms therefore, have been developed in order to properly place kitchen utensils that are both large and difficult to place.
  • a dish washing machine rack such as the one disclosed in the published patent application EP1275336 belonging to the prior art may be provided as an example of such an apparatus.
  • the rack disclosed herein is structured to be fixed to the upper basket and can rotate on a single axis.
  • This rack, the height of which cannot be adjusted, is designed for placing various kitchen utensils on it.
  • Document WO-A- 01 87133 describes a rack mechanism attachable to a dish washing machine basket having a connection wire, a rack whose height can be adjusted, at least one connection slot and at least one resting surface.
  • the rack mechanism provided by this invention is one that takes up little space (compact) and which can be assembled with ease.
  • This apparatus includes a wire used for assembly and a rack that is fixed to the said wire.
  • the wire is designed to be easily detached when necessary and has the feature of being attachable to many current dish washing machines.
  • the rack of the present invention is quite easily applicable to current dish washing machines.
  • the height of the rack that is attached to the connection wire is adjustable to at least two positions. It is closed when not in use, and the flexible hooked fastening elements found herein prevent it from deviating from this position by gripping onto the connection wire.
  • the mechanism provides a structure allowing for the safe placement and retraction of knives having a sharp edge without endangering the user.
  • it may also be used as a cup-glass rack.
  • the rack mechanism is made yet more convenient, as the connection wire may be attached and detached from the upper-lower baskets.
  • This mechanism makes available a relatively large space, especially as used next to the plate rows in the lower basket. That the rack may be aligned in an open position provides for a more thorough washing of the cups-glasses placed within it.
  • a further important feature of the invention is that it can be assembled in a very quick manner. Fewer numbers of parts and the simple geometric structure thereof allow for easy assembly while also saving time. Furthermore, this makes the parts safer and more durable. The assembly process is completed easily and swiftly since additional parts and connection tools are no longer necessary.
  • the objective of the present invention is to provide an mechanism comprising a single piece rack which can be opened and closed and is height adjustable to allow for the placement in washing machines of large kitchen utensils such as forks-spoons-knives.
  • a further objective of the invention is to provide a rack mechanism that can also be attached to and detached from the present dish washing machine basket afterwards.
  • a further objective of the invention is to provide a rack mechanism that can remain in a closed position and does not, even in such a position, obstruct the available areas inside the dish washing machine.
  • a further objective of the invention is to provide a rack mechanism whose height can be adjusted to at least two positions.
  • a further objective of the invention is to provide a rack mechanism which increases the usable space through placement in different areas on the dish washing machine basket.
  • a further objective of the invention is to provide a rack mechanism that makes a more thorough washing of utensils such as cups-glasses possible by allowing for the rack to remain in an open position.
  • a further objective of the invention is to provide a rack mechanism, wherein the assembly processes may be easily carried out even by the user without having to resort to additional parts and connection tools.
  • a further objective of the invention is to provide a rack mechanism, wherein different kitchen utensils can also be placed.
  • a further objective of the invention is to provide a rack mechanism, wherein especially sharp edged knives may safely be placed and retracted without endangering the user.
  • a further objective of the invention is to provide a rack mechanism of which assembly is quick, safe and cheap.
  • connection wire (2) shown in: figures 1-5 is a part placed in such a way on the horizontal and vertical wires of the basket (1) so as to be flexibly attachable and detachable, and can remain, without slippage, in position on the basket (1) as placed, via notches on the horizontal and vertical wires.
  • connection slot (31) that is situated on the rear surface (39) and extends from the rear surface (39) so as to allow the rack (3) to be at a slanted angle in the open position, used for the upward and downward motion of the rack (3) on the vertical wires (22) found on the connection wire (2).
  • each connection slot (31) On the rear surface (39) of the rack and beneath each connection slot (31) is a resting surface (37) in the form of a channel, on the inner surface of which rests the vertical wire (22).
  • a resting surface (37) Apart from the said surfaces (37), there is at least one separate resting surface (38) that is linear so as to be able to rest against at least one vertical wire (22), or that has a channel form which can receive the wire (22).
  • at the said rear surface (39) there is provided at least one double-hooked fastener (not shown in the drawings) for firmly gripping the vertical wires to provide a stronger bond to the vertical wires (22) when the rack is in an open position.)
  • At least one double-hooked fastener (34) extends upwards from the upper part (30) of the rack (3) to the vertical wires (22) to prevent it from opening on its own (or to prevent a change in any present connection).
  • the body of the rack (3) is in the form of a grill, with the parts connecting the front and rear surfaces (39', 39), the side edges, having on them aligned at certain intervals, at least one row of separators (32) that extend upward from the upper section (30).
  • connection slot (31) is provided as "C" shaped and allows for a vertical wire (22) to pass into the channel (31') on the inside through an opening to the outside (31") that is located on its side.
  • the vertical wire (22) is inserted into the said channel (31')
  • the extended form of the channel allows the rack (3) to move in a rotary motion relative to the vertical wire (22).
  • the relative left and right motion of the rack (3) to the wire (2) is prevented by maintaining the width of the said channel (31') at a measure close to the width of the wire (22) inside.
  • each connection slot (31) in order for the rack (3) to remain steady in an open position on the vertical wire (22), each connection slot (31) must be in a resting position on the upper section (23) of the notches (21) situated on the vertical wire (22). In this position, each resting surface (37) is in a resting position on its corresponding vertical wire (22). Because a force is inflicted on the notch (21) by the connection slot (31) (resting on the upper section (23) of the notch (21) in the attached drawings) and by the resting surface (37) on the vertical wire (22), upon a load being placed on the rack (3), the rack (3) can easily be suspended in this position.
  • Each notch (21) is formed as a protrusion in a given direction on certain points of a vertical wire (22).
  • the number of notches (21) on a vertical wire (22) defines the number of different heights at which the rack (3) will be positioned.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a side view of the rack (3) as attached to the connection wire (2) in the lower position
  • figure 4 shows a side view of the rack (3) as attached to the connection wire (2) in the upper position.
  • the rack (3) is brought to the desired height by moving the connection slots (31) up and down on the vertical wires (22), and is then attached to the notches (21) by being brought to a fully open position at the desired height.
  • the rack (3) is formed to remain at a slanted angle (angle (A) is shown in figure 4 ) in the open position as shown in figure 4 .
  • Figure 11 provides a perspective view from above of an example embodiment of the invention. This illustrates the knife (6) and fork (7) placed between the separators (32). In addition, it is possible, as illustrated in this figure, to place items such as glasses-cups (8) on the rack (3).
  • materials of high friction coefficient are used for areas that come in contact with the rack's (3) connection wire (2). This way, the possibility of the rack (3) slipping off the wire (2) in areas in between where notches (21) are not used is decreased.
  • more than one rack (3) ( Figure 11 illustrates two racks) may be used side by side.
  • the facing edges of two racks (3) aligned next to each other are formed without a difference in their height adjustment. This way, it becomes possible to place long kitchen utensils on more than one rack at a time.
  • At least one feeder (40) (shown in figure 7 ) providing an elevation is provided on at least one side of the rack (3) of the invention in order to prevent the kitchen utensils from spilling out of the rack (3).
