Due to such a constitution, rigidity ofdish basket 21 per se is enhanced so that a shape ofdish basket 21 can be stably maintained. - In this exemplary embodiment, the description is made by taking the shape which imitates a sectional shape of
dishes 20 to be set as an example of the shape of connectingmember 30. However, the shape of connectingmember 30 is not limited to such a shape. For example, the shape of the connecting member may be changed corresponding to a design ofdish basket 21 or a kind of dish to be placed. To be more specific, connectingmember 30a having an arc shape shown inFIG. 7A or connectingmember 30b having a trapezoidal shape shown inFIG. 7B may be adopted as the shape of the connecting member. Such connectingmembers - In this exemplary embodiment, the description is made with respect to the example where
dish basket 21 is made of a resin and the connecting member is also made of a resin. However, the present invention is not limited to such a constitution. For example, the dish basket, the connecting member or the like may be formed using a wire. Such a constitution also can acquire the substantially same advantageous effect. - In this exemplary embodiment, the description is made by taking the case where a lower portion of
dishes 20 is supported at two support points and a rear side of a dish is supported at two support points as an example. However, the number of support points is not limited to two. The number of support points may be desirably set as long asdishes 20 can be stably supported. - Hereinafter, a dishwasher according to a second exemplary embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to
FIG. 8 . -
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a connecting member of a dish basket of the dishwasher according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - As shown in
FIG. 8 , the dishwasher of this exemplary embodiment differs from the dishwasher of the first exemplary embodiment with respect to a point that a protruding shape which imitates a shape of a dish base of a dish provided to the connecting member of the first exemplary embodiment is not provided to a connecting member of this exemplary embodiment, and recessedshape 32b is formed oninner end surface 32a which is a curved surface of connectingmember 32. Other constitutions and the manner of operation and advantageous effects of this exemplary embodiment are substantially equal to the corresponding constitutions and manner of operation and advantageous effects of the first exemplary embodiment and hence, the detailed description of other constitutions and the manner of operation and advantageous effects of this exemplary embodiment is not given. - That is, as shown in
FIG. 8 , recessedshape 32b is formed oninner end surface 32a of connectingmember 32 which connects supportingmembers 33 to each other at a position in the vicinity of a center portion of connectingmember 32. In the same manner as the first exemplary embodiment, a sectional shape of connectingmember 32 is a shape which imitates a curved shape of a dish having a dish base, for example. It is needless to say that a sectional shape of connectingmember 32 having a shape which imitates a curved shape of a dish having a dish base may also include a shape of an outline portion of a bottom of the dish base. Recessedshape 32b is formed on connectingmember 32 on a side of a surface (inner end surface 32a) of connectingmember 32 which confronts the dish base of the dish at a position corresponding to the dish base. - That is, a portion having a narrow projected area is formed at a portion of connecting
member 32 in the vicinity of the center portion of connectingmember 32. By forming such a portion, it is possible to further reduce an amount of washing water blocked by connectingmember 32. As a result, the washing performance of the dishwasher can be further enhanced. - In this exemplary embodiment, the description is made by taking the shape which imitates a sectional shape of a dish to be set as an example of the shape of connecting
member 32. However, the shape of connectingmember 32 is not limited to such a shape. For example, the shape of the connecting member may be changed in accordance with a design of a dish basket or a kind of dish to be placed. To be more specific, recessedshape 32b may be formed on connectingmember 30a having an arc shape shown inFIG. 7A or connectingmember 30b having a trapezoidal shape shown inFIG. 7B which are described in the first exemplary embodiment. Such a constitution can also acquire the substantially same advantageous effect. - In this exemplary embodiment, the description is made by taking the case where only recessed
shape 32b is formed on the portion of connectingmember 32 in the vicinity of the center portion of connectingmember 32 as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to such a case. For example, a protruding shape may be further formed on connectingmember 32 by combining the constitution of this exemplary embodiment with the constitution of the first exemplary embodiment. In such a case, it is preferable that intervals between supporting pins for connectingmembers 32 on which the protruding shape is formed are set larger than intervals between supporting pins for connectingmembers 32 on which the recessed shape is formed. By setting the intervals between the supporting pins as described above, the lowering of the rigidity of the connecting member can be suppressed. - As has been explained above, the dishwasher of the present invention includes the dish basket in which a dish is placed standing upward on an edge of the dish, and the dish basket includes: the supporting members which support the dish in at least two positions; and the connecting member which connects the supporting members. The connecting member may have, between the supporting members, a shape which imitates a sectional shape of the dish having a dish base, and may have a protruding shape on a face of the connecting member opposite to another face confronting the dish base of the dish at a position corresponding to the dish base.
- Due to such a constitution, a user can intuitively recognize a kind of dish which can be placed and the dish placing direction. As a result, it is possible to realize a dishwasher which can exhibit favorable usability and the original washing performance while enhancing property of the dishwasher in setting dishes into the dish basket.
- Further, the dishwasher of the present invention includes a dish basket in which a dish is placed standing upward on an edge of the dish, and the dish basket includes: supporting members which support the dish in at least two positions; and a connecting member which connects the supporting members. The connecting member may have, between the supporting members, a curved shape which imitates the dish having a dish base, and may have a recessed shape on a face of the connecting member which confronts the dish base of the dish at a position corresponding to the dish base.
- Due to such a constitution, a range where washing water sprayed from the washing nozzles is blocked by the connecting member can be decreased so that an amount of washing water blocked by the connecting member can be further reduced. As a result, the washing performance of the dishwasher can be further enhanced.
- According to the present invention, a user can intuitively recognize a kind of dish which can be placed and the dish placing direction and hence, property of the dishwasher in setting dishes is enhanced. Accordingly, the present invention is effectively applicable to a dish basket provided to a dishwasher or a dish dryer where favorable operability is required without lowering the washing performance.
