Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a basket for use in washing, drying and storing glasses.
  • Baskets for machine washing, drying and storage of glasses are well known in the Catering Industry.
  • Such baskets may be open for mixed glasses, or partly or fully compartmented depending on the degree of protection needed during washing and carrying.
  • Drying is achieved by draining rather than by evaporation so as to prevent deposition of unsightly dissolved solids.
  • evaporation so as to prevent deposition of unsightly dissolved solids.
  • water residues being retained on the rim of wet glasses when inverted. This problem is most pronounced on glassware having a rounded bead rim profile.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a basket which overcomes some of the problems.
  • a washing drying and storing basket for use with glassware comprising:
  • the supporting portions may be inclined such that, in use, glassware supported thereon is supported at an angle to the plane of the base of the frame.
  • the angle may be 15° to 20° to the horizontal when the basket is in use.
  • the supporting portions may be shaped as a rectangular or knife edge so as to facilitate drainage of water residues.
  • the frame may further comprise an upper section such that, in use, it provides additional support to the glassware and may also comprise side portions arranged to join the upper section and the base.
  • the supporting strip may be formed with the base of the frame as a single component.
  • the lower blade edge of the supporting strip may comprise notches to which portions of the base may be attached.
  • the basket may further comprise one or more additional supporting strips, and the supporting strips may then be aligned parallel to one another.
  • the supporting strips may be joined to one another at one of their ends by a joining strip situated at an edge of the base.
  • the supporting strips and the joining strip may be pre-formed as a single component which is attached to the base of the frame.
  • the supporting strips and the joining strip may be formed of plastics material.
  • the frame may comprise a nylon coated wire frame.
  • the basket may be formed by injection moulding.
  • the basket of the present invention is designed to allow maximum surface area exposure of the glassware to the air, whilst providing support beneath each item of glassware.
  • the items are separated from one another, and an upper section provides added support to each item.
  • the glassware is tilted at an angle to the plane of the base of the frame, allowing stray drips of water to run down the glassware and through the base of the frame or down the strips. In this way, any remaining drops which would ordinarily rest, for example, on the rim of an item of glassware can be removed.
  • contact between the glassware and the basket is minimised, allowing more effective air circulation during either assisted or unassisted drying.
  • the basket of the present invention therefore provides a more efficient structure on which to dry glassware completely.
  • a basket 1 comprises a frame including a base 2, an upper section 3 and vertical side portions 4.
  • the base comprises a rectangular parameter and a plurality of parallel inner legs 5 which join two of the opposing sides of the parameter.
  • the upper section comprises a parameter of similar proportions to the base, together with an inner section 6 shaped to hold glassware.
  • the inner section 6 is formed in a number of hexagons, and is specifically designed to hold glasses 7, as shown in figures 2 and 3. The number, shape, or frequency of the shapes formed by the inner section 6 may vary according to the type of glassware being dried.
  • one or more supporting strips 8 are connected to the inner legs 5 of the base 2.
  • the supporting strips 8 are arranged to sit perpendicular to the inner legs 5 and extend to the parameter of the base 2 of the frame.
  • the supporting strips 8 may comprise notches 9 into which the inner legs 5 of the base 2 fit, or alternatively, can be formed with the base 2 as a single component, as described further below. Additionally, further support is provided to the strips 8 by an alignment leg 10, which is arranged parallel to the inner leg 5 of the base 2, but which need not necessarily connect with the rectangular parameter of the base 2.
  • Joining strips 11 are provided to give extra support to the supporting strips 8, and provide a secure connection between the supporting strips 8 and the edge of the base 2.
  • each of the supporting strips 8 comprises one or more supporting portions 12.
  • these portions preferably comprise depressed inclined portions in the upper edge of the strips, which are spaced according to the desired spacing of the glassware items being dried.
  • each of the openings in inner section 6 of the upper section 3 is situated directly above one of the inclined supporting portions 12.
  • the inner section 6 and the supporting strips 8 of the basket 1 can be formed to accommodate different shapes and sizes of glassware.
  • the supporting strips 8 of the basket 1, together with the joining strips 11, may be pre-formed, as a single component, of plastics material. This component may then be attached to the base 2 of the frame, which is formed of wire, such as nylon coated wire.
  • the basket 1 can be manufactured as a single component by injection moulding.
  • the present invention therefore provides a light, yet secure, basket 1 which allows fast and complete drying of glassware.
  • the basket may be used in unassisted drying or, alternatively, may be designed to be placed in or on a dryer.
