Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dishwasher rack comprising pivoting/folding supports.
  • the handling of the supports requires two movements: a first upward coupling or uncoupling movement and a second upward or downward side movement.
  • these supports require sliding guides comprising wires that form the dishwasher rack, and that therefore are statically constrained in a predetermined position, making it impossible to re-position and/or remove them to the detriment of the loading flexibility of the dishwashing machine.
  • the present invention provides to solve these and other problems by making available a dishwasher rack comprising pivoting supports, preferably for positioning pots and pans, as in the annexed claim 1.
  • the idea at the base of the present invention is a pair of supports both being folding/pivoting ones, wherein the first is positioned at one side of the rack and the second at the bottom thereof, allowing one or more pots to be supported in an optimal washing/drying position in a dishwasher rack, further allowing the inner volume of the washing tank of the dishwasher to be better exploited.
  • This rack 1 has a substantially parallelepiped shape, it is made of metal wires suitably shaped and welded together and it comprises a bottom 30 from which a plurality of walls 31, 32, 33, 34 extend, a first support 3 for pots and pans (that for more clarity will be denoted by the term frame) and a second support 2.
  • pots and pans such as pans, frying pans, over-proof dishes, etc.
  • a washing tub of a dishwasher not shown in the figures
  • Both these supports 2,3 are equipped with hook devices that will be described below, which allow such supports to be advantageously coupled to wires 4,5 comprised in the rack 1.
  • the support 2 comprises a container 6, preferably having a parallelepiped shape, from which a supporting element 7 protrudes, which is preferably made of the same material as the wire forming the rack 1, and has a shape similar to an elongated omega, wherein the two ends (not shown in the figures) are contained into the container 6.
  • This shape allows the two ends of the supporting element 7 to act as guide elements by sliding into sliding guides (not shown in the figures) comprised in the container 7.
  • the top of the container 6 is closed by walls 8, thus acting as end-of-travel element upon the deployment of the supporting element 7 due to the interference between the two ends of the element 7 and the inner parts of said walls 8.
  • figs. 1 and 2 show three supports 2 in three possible positions (from left to the right):
  • the supporting element 7 When the supporting element 7 is reaching the operating position, it is elastically deformed by compression by the coupling teeth 13, then it extends, once it reaches the operating position; this elastic deformation action by compression of the supporting element 7 is repeated during the release operation.
  • the release occurs by applying a force from the bottom to the top in a point of the supporting element 7; this force has to have a modulus value sufficient for compressing and deforming the supporting element 7 for allowing it to pass beyond the coupling teeth 13.
  • the procedure for deploying and folding the support 2 occurs by moving the supporting element 7 in the positions listed above, in the direct and opposite order described above and repeated here: non-operating position, intermediate position, operating position, or, operating position, intermediate position, non-operating position.
  • the support 7 behaves like a lever whose fulcrum is the portion of the support 7 positioned in the housings 11, the first arm is the portion of the support 7 upon which the load can be placed, and the second arm is the portion of the support 7 comprised between the housings 11 and the walls 8.
  • the support 2 is preferably placed on the rear wall 33 of the rack 1, but obviously it is possible, for the person skilled in the art, to find a place suitable for meeting the design requirements by placing this support 2 on one of the other walls 31, 32, 34.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 show three supports 2 coupled to the rack 1, but it is again possible for the person skilled in the art to select the number of supports 2 to be included in said rack 1 such to better meet the loading flexibility requirements, necessary for achieving the design objects.
  • each frame 3 comprises the following parts:
  • the frame 3 pivots between a raised position, wherein the segments 18 are faced to the inside of the rack 1 while the corrugated strip 19 is substantially parallel to the bottom 30, and a lowered position, wherein the segments 18 are substantially parallel to the bottom 30 while the corrugated strip 19 is substantially vertical.
  • the corrugated strip 19 serves for advantageously preventing pots and pans from slipping by means of loops 20 in an horizontal position, thus facilitating the proper positioning already described above; this strip 19 is integral with the base wire 16, and therefore, also with segments 18 (with which it forms a right angle) by fastening means that comprise snap-on hooks 21 and 22, which can match with the base wire 16 and the segments 18 respectively.
  • FIG. 6 shows a corrugated strip 19' similar to the corrugated strip 19 just described; this strip 19' is different than the previous one for the used fastening means. Instead of hooks 21,22, snap-on seats 21' and slots 22' are used respectively allowing the strip 19' to be coupled with the frame 3.
  • Snap-on seats 21' match with the base wire 16, while the slots 22' match with the segments 18 of the frame 3. Sliding the segments 18 inside said slots 22', until snap-on seats 21' are coupled with the base wire 16, makes possible to accomplish a firm coupling between the strip 19' and the frame 3.
  • the bottom 30 of the rack 1 comprises a plurality of constraints suitable for eliminating all the degrees of freedom of the frame 3 except for the rotation about the axis of the base wire 16.
  • the bottom 30 comprises to this end a plurality of semi-circular seats 24, formed by wire portions and arranged along the extension of the base wire 16 with such a shape to stably house the base wire 16, only allowing it to rotate about its own axis.
  • the free rotation of the base wire 16 is limited by the provision of the bent ends 17, which are shaped so as to act as end-of-travel elements by interfering with a wire 25, which is comprised in the bottom 30 of the rack 1, when the frame 3 is in a raised position.
  • Each bent end 17 comprises a groove in which the wire 25 stably is housed thus guaranteeing the interference necessary for firmly keeping the frame 3 in the raised position and for releasing on the rack 1 the weight of the dishes supported on segments 18, without the need of tensioning the base wire 16.
  • the corrugated strip 19,19' is in a substantially horizontal position and parallel to the bottom 30; said strip, in addition, comprises orifices 23 such to advantageously increase the flow of the washing fluid directly reaching the dishes arranged on the frame 3 and to facilitate the subsequent drainage in the drying step.
  • Fig.2 shows two frames 3, in the lowered position, with the corrugated strips 19,19' in a nearly vertical position, in this position it is possible to easily position pans and pots exploiting also at least one of the supports 2, thus increasing the washing efficiency of the dishwasher, since (as already said above) it is possible to better wash more frying pans or pots than a dishwasher equipped with a conventional rack.
  • this position is made stable by the segments 18 acting as end-of-travel elements by interfering with the wires of the rack 1 and/or by a particular shape of the bent ends 17 allowing them to act as end-of-travel elements even in the lowered position of the rack 3.
  • the segments 18 of the two frames 3 are arranged on the bottom of the rack 1 at a very close distance one another, such to form an almost supporting surface upon which it is possible to put not only pots and pans but also objects having a certain length (e.g. knives, ladles, etc.).
  • the frames 3 extend for all the width of the rack 1, but as an alternative these frames can occupy only a portion of the rack width.
