Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to dishwashing machines, and in particular to a removable glass-holding insert that may be hooked up to any of the dishwasher racks.
- It is known that dishwasher racks are usually made from metal wires coated with plastic and welded together so as to form a supporting structure for the dishes. In order to make the use of said racks more flexible, mobile or removable supports are often provided which allow to change the exploitation of the rack according to the need of the moment.
- An example of such a flexibility of use is found in the upper rack which is usually intended to receive the smaller dishes such as cups, glasses and the like. In order to fully exploit its height there is usually provided a cup-supporting shelf, extending along one or both sides of the rack, located at such a level as to allow the positioning of the glasses under the shelf. Said shelf may also be used to place thereon large-size cutlery such as kitchen knives, kitchen spoons and the like, or as a support for goblet stems if the shelf is properly shaped, e.g. with a wavy edge, or it is formed by a series of parallel sticks between which the stems can be introduced.
- However the presence of the shelf is an obstacle if the upper rack needs to be exploited for larger dishes, whereby in order to allow such a possibility of exploitation the shelf can be made removable, as a separate insert, or as a tip-up shelf but in any case its position inside the rack can not be changed. Furthermore, given that the shelf is designed also for other functions, as indicated above, and in supporting the goblets it operates in cooperation with the shaped bottom of the rack, also designed to perform other functions such as mainly the support of dishes and cookware, it is difficult to obtain a stable positioning of the goblets at an optimum angle for effective washing.
- For a still better exploitation of the available space inside the wash tank it is also known to use a substantially flat third rack, positioned in the upper part of the dishwasher above the upper rack, with the function of cutlery tray. The presence of such a third rack, however, implies a significant reduction of the available vertical space in the upper rack making it difficult to place goblets therein.
- Therefore the object of the present invention is to provide a removable glass-holding insert for dishwasher rack which overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks.
- This object is achieved by means of a removable glass-holding insert comprising at least an upper supporting crossbar and a lower supporting crossbar, said crossbars being provided with a plurality of seats, preferably equally spaced, and with at least one pair of means for the reversible coupling of the insert to the rack, said means being preferably arranged at the ends of the upper crossbar.
- The fundamental advantage of the present removable glass-holding insert is to confer greater flexibility of use to the dishwasher since it can be placed in different positions, also centrally, both in the lower and upper rack thus allowing to exploit the available space in the wash tank to the best and to properly place the goblets even in the presence of the third rack.
- Another advantage of such a removable glass-holding insert is implicit in the fact of being specially designed to support glasses, goblets typically, and thus being able to provide them with a stable positioning at an optimum angle for effective washing and drying.
- A further advantage of this removable glass-holding insert stems from its structural simplicity, which results in a reduced cost, a high reliability and a great ease of use for the user.
- Further advantages and features of the removable glass-holding insert according to the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of two embodiments thereof with reference to the attached drawings in which:
-
Fig.1 is a top perspective view of a first embodiment of the insert; -
Fig.2 is a front view of the insert ofFig.1 ; -
Fig.3 is an enlarged partial perspective view similar toFig.1 ; -
Figs. 4 and5 are views similar to the previous one showing the insert coupled to a rack; -
Fig.6 is a side view showing various positions in which the insert can be placed inside the rack; -
Fig.7 is a top perspective view of the insert coupled to a rack and loaded with a plurality of different goblets; -
Figs. 8 and 9 are enlarged partial views, respectively from above and from the front, showing the geometric parameters of the wavy profiles of the crossbars; - Fug.10 is a top perspective view of a second embodiment of the insert; and
-
Fig.11 is a side view of the insert ofFig.10 . - Referring to
figures 1 to 3 , there is seen that a removable glass-holding insert according to a first embodiment of the present invention, generally indicated byreference numeral 1, comprises an upper supportingcrossbar 2 and a lower supportingcrossbar 3 that are substantially wavy and arranged in planes perpendicular to each other. Theupper crossbar 2 is provided with substantially U-shapedterminals 4 which extend towards thelower crossbar 3 in a plane perpendicular to said planes of the crossbars, whereas thelower crossbar 3 is provided withend uprights 5 which extend in its same plane up to the vicinity of theupper crossbar 2 and end withhooks 6 facing outwards and downwards. - More specifically, the U-shaped
terminals 4 have a straightproximal section 4a andintermediate section 4b, whereas thedistal section 4c is shaped to protrude outwards in the lower portion and then return partially inwards in the upper portion, so as to form a "knee" and to remain protruding with respect to the plane containing thestraight sections Fig.9 . The connection between the twocrossbars first contact point 7a betweenhook 6 and the top of theproximal section 4a and asecond contact point 7b between upright 5 and the center of theintermediate section 4b (Fig.3 ). - As previously mentioned, the planes containing the wavy profiles of
crossbars Fig.1 ) with respect to the orthogonal arrangement shown in the figures. This could be achieved by varying the angle between theupper crossbar 2 andterminals 4 and/or the angle between thelower crossbar 3 anduprights 5. - Furthermore, although the
present insert 1 is preferably made as a traditional rack with plastic-coated metal wires which are welded together, for reasons of cost and robustness, nothing prevents from making it with other materials and construction methods. For example,insert 1 could be made of plastic by injection molding either in one piece or more preferably in multiple pieces connected by snap fit or interference, or by ultrasonic welding. In that case, of course, the profile ofcrossbars terminals 4, hooks 6) could be different from those illustrated in the figures which are advantageous for a structure of metal wires. - Referring now also to
figures 4 to 7 , the simple and effective operation of the above-described removable glass-holding insert is readily understood. - To introduce
insert 1 in a dishwasher rack R it is sufficient to flatten at least a part of the mobile dish-holding supports of the rack so that thelower crossbar 3 rests on the bottom of the rack and hooks 6 rest on the upper peripheral wire P. In order to provide greater stability to insert 1, the protruding "knees" of thedistal sections 4c ofterminals 4 elastically snap engage said peripheral wire P latching under it, so as to ensure thathooks 6 remain engaged and do not slip along the peripheral wire P. - It is therefore evident that the user can couple
insert 1 to rack R with two simple operations, and also the restoration of the standard configuration of rack R is just as easy since the release ofinsert 1 only requires to push inwards the ends of thedistal sections 4c to disengage them from the peripheral wire P. In this way,insert 1 can be extracted from rack R and the mobile dish-holding supports can be returned to their operative position. - It should be noted that the operative angle taken by
insert 1 when it is coupled to rack R depends on the combination of two geometric parameters, namely the distance between the peripheral wire P and the bottom of the rack, which can also vary depending on the position of insertion in rack R, as well as the distance betweenhooks 6 and thelower crossbar 3. This angle is typically 30° but it may vary within a range of ±10° for a giveninsert 1, in function of the rack R in which it is inserted and of the specific location of placement. Furthermore, although the figures show a disposition ofinsert 1 in the transverse direction relative to the direction of removal of the rack, it is clear that also a disposition aligned to said direction would be possible with the same procedures and could influence the operative angle ofinsert 1. - As shown in
Fig.7 , thepresent insert 1 thus allows to load in any rack R a plurality of goblets G also of different shapes and sizes, holding them at an optimal inclination for their washing and drying. To achieve that result, the wavy profiles ofcrossbars figures 8 and 9 . - More specifically, the
upper crossbar 2 has a sinusoidal shape with a "frequency", i.e. the distance F between two adjacent crests, equal to 30±5 mm and an "amplitude", i.e. the depth A of a valley, equal to 20±3 mm. Similarly, thelower crossbar 3 has a sinusoidal shape but "straightened" in the bottom portion to provide a greater bearing surface to the edge of the glass, with a "frequency" F' equal to 30±5 mm and an "amplitude" A' equal to 18±3 mm. The wavy profiles ofcrossbars - Obviously in the case of an insert made with a different material and/or constructive method the shapes used to obtain the equally spaced seats on the two crossbars may be correspondingly different. For example in the above-mentioned case of a plastic molded insert the profiles could take the form of a triangular, square or sawtooth wave or the like and also be different between the upper crossbar and the lower crossbar.
- Furthermore, while maintaining the traditional structure of metal wires coated in plastic and welded together, it is possible to obtain the equally spaced seats on the two crossbars also with other types of profiles as shown in the second embodiment of
figures 10 and 11 . In this case, in fact, the upper crossbar 2' and the lower crossbar 3' have an helical shape while the rest of the structure remains unchanged from the first embodiment. - In the illustrated example the upper crossbar 2' consists of a helix having a pitch and a diameter slightly higher than the helix of the lower crossbar 3', which is therefore not in phase with it. However it is clear that the two helical profiles could be identical and that each of them could be combined with a wavy profile of the first embodiment so as to derive further embodiments with mixed profiles, namely wavy above and helical below or vice versa.
- It is therefore clear that the above-described and illustrated embodiment of the removable glass-holding insert according to the invention is just an example susceptible of various modifications. In particular,
crossbars hooks 6 andterminals 4, possibly by integrating the functions of coupling and locking into a single element (e.g. an elastic clip). In addition, the coupling means could be arranged not at the ends of theupper crossbar 3 as explained above but at another position, whereby the coupling to rack R could be realized not at the upper peripheral wire P but at another element of the rack. - Finally, in another embodiment not shown in the figures,
insert 1 could be provided with one or more additional crossbars (even straight) arranged betweenuprights 5 at such a distance from thelower crossbar 3 as not to interfere with the placement of goblets G yet to allow also the placement of glasses of a height shorter than the distance betweencrossbars
