Definitions
- the invention relates to a cup support for pivotable arrangement on a crockery basket of a dishwasher.
- Dish racks for dishwashers in general and cup supports for pivoting arrangement on a dish rack of a dishwasher in particular are well known per se from the prior art, which is why separate printed evidence is not required at this point.
- Dishwashers have, in a manner known per se, a washing compartment which provides a washing space. When used as intended, the washing compartment serves to accommodate items to be washed to be cleaned.
- Crockery baskets are used to securely accommodate items to be washed in the washing chamber, with at least one lower and one upper crockery basket being provided depending on the design of the dishwasher.
- a crockery basket known from the prior art is typically formed from a wire mesh made from a plastic-coated wire and provides support surfaces for receiving items to be cleaned. Furthermore, items to be washed can be provided in the form of spikes, loops and/or the like.
- cup supports of this type can be transferred from a position of use to a position of non-use and vice versa.
- cup supports typically serve to accommodate items to be washed, in particular small items, such as cups, or in the sense of an abutment to support larger items to be washed, which are accommodated by the crockery basket, such as long-stemmed glasses.
- a cup rest is known with a plurality of stemmed glass receiving units arranged on the longitudinal edge of the cup rest. These each have a holding element made of a flexible material, which when loaded with a stemmed glass encloses the stem of the glass.
- the EP 3127464 A1 (post-published prior art according to Art. 54(3) EPC) describes a cup support which has a base body, a mounting strip arranged thereon and a damping strip made of a soft, elastic plastic and arranged between the base body and the mounting strip.
- cup supports Although previously known cup supports have proven themselves in everyday practical use, there is a need for improvement, in particular with regard to protecting the items to be washed when they are used as intended. It is therefore the object of the invention to propose a cup support of the type mentioned at the outset which structurally allows gentler handling of the items to be washed.
- the cup support has a longitudinal edge which, when in use, serves as a support edge for items to be washed.
- items to be washed that have been picked up by the dish rack are leaning against this supporting edge, with which they are supported against the cup support.
- larger items to be washed, such as stemmed glasses require support from the longitudinal edge of the cup support for a secure arrangement in the washing basket.
- this longitudinal edge of the cup support which serves as a support edge, has a wavy design.
- This wavy contour arises from the fact that alternating sections are provided, specifically sections running in a straight line on the one hand and sections providing a recess on the other.
- This wavy contour of the support edge is advantageous as follows.
- the sections providing a recess in each case serve to receive stems of stemmed glasses in a secure position.
- the support edge designed according to the invention is therefore particularly suitable for being able to support long-stemmed glasses by inserting the stem of a glass into the recess of an optional section on the user side.
- the arrangement of the stem of a stemmed glass within a recess of the supporting edge ensures that the stemmed glass supported by the supporting edge does not unintentionally slide along the supporting edge during a displacement movement of the crockery basket or even fall over. Rather, the stem of the glass is caught in the associated recess with respect to a displacement movement of the crockery basket, so that a secure arrangement is achieved with the result that an arrangement that is gentle on the items to be washed is present.
- the sections running in a straight line are used to be able to support other types of items to be washed, ie items to be washed without handles.
- the support edge designed according to the invention is thus suitable both for being able to hold stemmed glasses in a secure position and for being able to also securely support stemless items to be washed by resting on the straight sections.
- the cup support according to the invention is further characterized in that a base body and a mounting strip arranged thereon are provided, with a damping strip being arranged between the base body and the mounting strip.
- This damping bar is made of a soft, elastic plastic such as silicone.
- the damping strip protrudes beyond the base body and the mounting strip on the supporting edge side. The result of this is that items to be washed that are in contact with the support edge of the cup support come into physical contact with the damping strip, but not with the base body and/or the mounting strip.
- the damping strip is made of a soft, elastic plastic, this geometric configuration ensures that the items to be washed lie softly on the support edge, so that unwanted scratching of the items to be washed due to a relative movement between the items to be washed on the one hand and the cup support on the other are reliably avoided. This design measure also ensures gentle treatment of the items to be washed.
- the cup support according to the invention is characterized by two essential aspects.
- the cup support provides a support edge with a wavy contour, so that the support edge can serve to support large items to be washed as well as to support long-stemmed glasses in particular.
- the wave-shaped contour ensures that long-stemmed glasses, in particular, are held in their position and do not slip and/or fall over even when the basket is displaced.
- the cup support is characterized by its damping strip, which extends beyond the base body and the mounting strip of the cup support on the supporting edge side protrudes, in particular along the entire or substantially the entire length of the supporting edge or the cup support.
- the damping strip is in particular designed in one piece.
- the damping strip consists of silicone.
- silicone is particularly suitable as a soft-elastic plastic for the damping unit, since silicone is also resistant to cleaning chemicals that may be used, even at higher washing temperatures.
- the base body carries mandrels on the mounting strip side, which engage in correspondingly designed recesses in the mounting strip.
- the base body In order to arrange the mounting strip, which is preferably designed in one piece, on the base body, the base body carries mandrels on the mounting strip side. These are preferably designed as spring-elastic locking pins.
- the mounting bar has recesses that are designed to correspond to the spikes of the base body. In the final assembled state, the mandrels pass through the recesses provided by the mounting rails, with the result that a latched arrangement of the mounting rail on the base body is achieved.
- the damping strip has openings which are designed to correspond to the spikes of the base body.
- the spikes provided by the base body therefore reach through the associated openings in the damping strip. This ensures that the damping strip is fixed in its position relative to the base body secure position of the damping strip is ensured in relation to both the base body and the mounting strip.
- the overall result is a sandwich-like structure, after which the damping strip is arranged between the base body and the mounting strip. In this case, these three components are each preferably formed in one piece.
- the base body carries a railing on the supporting edge side.
- the purpose of this railing is to be able to support items to be washed, such as cups, that have been picked up by the cup support while minimizing the use of space. This ensures that the contact surface between the items to be washed and the cup support is kept to a minimum. In this way, standing washing liquid on the cup support is avoided as far as possible, which promotes the residue-free drying of the washware.
- the base body, the mounting strip and the damping strip have windows that overlap one another. These windows serve as a flow opening for washing liquid, so that on the one hand washing liquid released by a spray device of the dishwasher can reach the items to be washed picked up by the cup support as intended and on the other hand washing liquid applied to the items to be washed can flow out and no unwanted puddles of washing liquid form on the cup support.
- the sections of the supporting edges running in a straight line have projections. These projections also serve to reduce the physical contact between the supported items to be washed on the one hand and the supporting edge of the cup support on the other hand to a minimized contact area.
- the items to be washed therefore do not rest against the supporting edge over their entire surface, but rather are only supported on the supporting edge via the projections provided by the supporting edge. In this way, washing liquid can also flow off unhindered on the support edge side of the items to be washed.
- the longitudinal side of the mounting strip opposite the support edge carries tabs.
- These tabs serve the arrangement of the mounting strip on the base body.
- the base body has recesses that correspond to the tabs.
- the assembly strip engages in the associated recesses of the base body by means of its tabs, with its other long side, ie the support edge, being coupled to the base body via the mandrel arrangement already described above.
- this configuration has the advantage that the base body and mounting strip can be assembled in a simple manner. Because for an arrangement of the mounting bar on the base body, it is only necessary to introduce the mounting bar with its tabs first in the associated recesses of the base body.
- the mounting bar can be clipped onto the base body by inserting the mandrels on the base body into the associated recesses of the mounting bar.
- the crockery basket 1 shows, in a schematic perspective representation, a dish rack 1 known per se from the prior art for a dishwasher not shown in detail in the figures.
- the crockery basket 1 is designed as an upper basket and consists of a wire mesh made of a plastic-coated wire 2.
- the crockery basket 1 is used to accommodate items to be cleaned, for which purpose the washing basket 1 has corresponding receptacles in the form of spikes, loops and the like.
- the crockery basket 1 also has a cup support 4 according to the invention.
- the representation after 1 shows the cup support 4 in the folded-down position, that is to say the position of use, in which it is possible to accommodate small items to be washed, such as cups in particular. In its non-use position, the cup support 4 is folded counterclockwise upwards.
- the cup support 4 not only serves to accommodate small items to be washed, it also provides a longitudinal edge that serves as a support edge 5, on which large items 3 picked up by the dish rack 1 can be supported when used as intended, as is the case here 1 using a long-stemmed glass. while doing so 1 It is easy to see that the items to be washed, supported by the cup support 4, are accommodated by the crockery basket 1 at an angle to the horizontal, so that on the one hand the items to be washed 3 can be optimally loaded with washing liquid, but on the other hand, after the items to be washed 3 have been loaded with washing liquid, the latter can also be used to dry the items on the tableware 3 can flow off better.
- the supporting edge 5 of the cup support 4 is, as is also the case with the illustrations 2 and 3 can be seen, wavy, therefore has a wavy contour.
- the stem of a stemmed glass is arranged within the recess 8 of a section 7 when used as intended, so that when the crockery basket 1 is displaced in the extension or retraction direction, the items to be washed 3 can be unintentionally displaced relative to the cup support 4 or the items to be washed 3 can even tip over is certainly prevented.
- the rectilinear sections 6 of the supporting edge 7 serve to securely support stemless crockery.
- the straight sections 6 preferably have projections 16 on the support edge side, as is shown in particular in the illustration 2 reveals. Items to be cleaned are supported on these projections 16, with which a minimization of the contact surface between the items to be washed and the cup support 4 is given, so that the washing liquid adhering to the items to be washed can flow off without leaving any residue, particularly when it is drying.
- the cup support 4 is constructed in three parts in the manner of a sandwich, as can be seen from the illustration 2 and 3 results.
- the cup support 4 has a base body 9 and a mounting strip 10.
- a damping strip 20 is arranged between the base body 9 and the mounting strip 10, which damping strip 20 is formed from a soft-elastic plastic material, preferably silicone.
- the damping strip protrudes beyond the base body 9 and the mounting strip 10 on the supporting edge side, in particular both in the area of straight sections 6 and in the area of sections 7 providing a recess 8, preferably along the entire cup support 4. that items to be washed that are supported on the supporting edge do not come into direct physical contact with the base body 9 or the mounting strip 10, but with the damping strip 20 formed from a soft-elastic plastic material. Any scratching of the items to be washed as a result of a relative movement between the items to be washed and the cup support 4 are thus prevented.
- the wavy contour of the edge of the damping strip 20 is also curved in the area of the recesses 8, or in the area of the wave troughs formed by the recesses 8, or to put it another way, the wavy contour of the edge of the damping strip 20 points in the area of the recesses 8 , or in the region of the wave troughs formed by the recesses 8, several elevations 21. This ensures that the stem of a stemmed glass is held even more securely.
- the mounting strip 10 preferably has lugs 17 which engage in corresponding recesses 18 of the base body 9 in the final assembled state.
- mandrels 11 are also formed on the base body 9 and engage in associated recesses 12 of the mounting strip 10 in a latching manner.
- the damping strip 20 arranged between the base body 9 and the mounting strip 10 also has openings 13 corresponding to the mandrels 11, so that in the final assembled state a mandrel 11 provided by the base body 9 is latched through an associated opening 13 of the damping strip 20 into an associated recess 12 of the mounting strip 10. This type of arrangement ensures that the damping strip 20 is fixed in a secure position.
- the base body 9, the mounting strip 10 and the damping strip 20 each have windows 15 arranged congruently one above the other. This ensures that the washing liquid dispensed by the spray device of the dishwasher can reach the dishes picked up by the cup support 4 as intended. On the other hand, washing liquid can flow off the items to be washed through the windows 15, in particular for the purpose of drying.
- the base body 9 has a railing 14 on the supporting edge side. This serves in particular to minimize the contact surface between the cup support 4 and items to be washed that are picked up by the cup support 4, which promotes the flow of washing liquid.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Tassenauflage zur verschwenkbaren Anordnung an einem Geschirrkorb einer Geschirrspülmaschine.The invention relates to a cup support for pivotable arrangement on a crockery basket of a dishwasher.
Geschirrkörbe für Geschirrspülmaschinen im Allgemeinen sowie Tassenauflagen zur verschwenkbaren Anordnung an einem Geschirrkorb einer Geschirrspülmaschine im Speziellen sind aus dem Stand der Technik an sich gut bekannt, weshalb es eines gesonderten druckschriftlichen Nachweises an dieser Stelle nicht bedarf.Dish racks for dishwashers in general and cup supports for pivoting arrangement on a dish rack of a dishwasher in particular are well known per se from the prior art, which is why separate printed evidence is not required at this point.
Geschirrspülmaschinen verfügen in an sich bekannter Weise über einen Spülbehälter, der einen Spülraum bereitstellt. Im bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendungsfall dient der Spülraum der Aufnahme von zu reinigendem Spülgut. Für eine positionssichere Unterbringung von Spülgut im Spülraum dienen Geschirrkörbe, wobei je nach Bauform der Geschirrspülmaschine zumindest ein unterer und ein oberer Geschirrkorb vorgesehen sind.Dishwashers have, in a manner known per se, a washing compartment which provides a washing space. When used as intended, the washing compartment serves to accommodate items to be washed to be cleaned. Crockery baskets are used to securely accommodate items to be washed in the washing chamber, with at least one lower and one upper crockery basket being provided depending on the design of the dishwasher.
Ein aus dem Stand der Technik bekannter Geschirrkorb ist typischerweise aus einem Drahtgeflecht aus einem kunststoffummantelten Draht gebildet und stellt für die Aufnahme von zu reinigendem Spülgut Auflageflächen bereit. Es können ferner Spülgutaufnahmen in Form von Spikes, Schlaufen und/oder dergleichen vorgesehen sein.A crockery basket known from the prior art is typically formed from a wire mesh made from a plastic-coated wire and provides support surfaces for receiving items to be cleaned. Furthermore, items to be washed can be provided in the form of spikes, loops and/or the like.
Es ist aus dem Stand der Technik ferner bekannt, Geschirrkörbe mit verschwenkbar daran angeordneten Tassenauflagen auszurüsten. Dabei können derartige Tassenauflagen ob ihrer Verschwenkbarkeit aus einer Gebrauchsstellung in eine Nichtgebrauchsstellung überführt werden und umgekehrt. In ihrer Gebrauchsstellung dienen Tassenauflagen typischerweise der Aufnahme von insbesondere kleinteiligem Spülgut, wie zum Beispiel Tassen, oder im Sinne eines Widerlagers der Abstützung von größerteiligem Spülgut, das vom Geschirrkorb aufgenommen ist, wie zum Beispiel langstielige Gläser.It is also known from the prior art to equip crockery baskets with cup supports arranged thereon so that they can pivot. Because of their pivotability, cup supports of this type can be transferred from a position of use to a position of non-use and vice versa. In their position of use, cup supports typically serve to accommodate items to be washed, in particular small items, such as cups, or in the sense of an abutment to support larger items to be washed, which are accommodated by the crockery basket, such as long-stemmed glasses.
Aus der
Die
Obgleich sich vorbekannte Tassenauflagen im alltäglichen Praxiseinsatz bewährt haben, besteht Verbesserungsbedarf, insbesondere mit Blick auf eine Schonung des Spülguts im bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendungsfall. Es ist deshalb die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Tassenauflage der eingangs genannten Art vorzuschlagen, die konstruktiv eine schonendere Handhabung des Spülguts ermöglicht.Although previously known cup supports have proven themselves in everyday practical use, there is a need for improvement, in particular with regard to protecting the items to be washed when they are used as intended. It is therefore the object of the invention to propose a cup support of the type mentioned at the outset which structurally allows gentler handling of the items to be washed.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird mit der Erfindung eine Tassenauflage mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 vorgeschlagen.To solve this problem, a cup support with the features of
Die Tassenauflage verfügt über eine Längskante, die in Gebrauchsstellung als Stützkante für Spülgut dient. Im bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendungsfall ist gegen diese Stützkante vom Geschirrkorb aufgenommenes Spülgut angelehnt, womit es sich gegenüber der Tassenauflage abstützt. Insbesondere größeres Spülgut, wie zum Beispiel Stielgläser benötigen für eine lagesichere Anordnung im Spülkorb eine Stützung durch die Längskante der Tassenauflage.The cup support has a longitudinal edge which, when in use, serves as a support edge for items to be washed. In the intended use case, items to be washed that have been picked up by the dish rack are leaning against this supporting edge, with which they are supported against the cup support. In particular, larger items to be washed, such as stemmed glasses, require support from the longitudinal edge of the cup support for a secure arrangement in the washing basket.
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass diese als Stützkante dienende Längskante der Tassenauflage wellenförmig ausgebildet ist. Diese wellenförmige Kontur entsteht dadurch, dass einander abwechselnde Abschnitte vorgesehen sind, und zwar geradlinig verlaufende Abschnitte einerseits und jeweils eine Ausnehmung bereitstellende Abschnitte andererseits. Diese wellenförmige Kontur der Stützkante ist wie folgt von Vorteil. Die jeweils eine Ausnehmung bereitstellenden Abschnitte dienen der lagesicheren Aufnahme von Stielen von Stielgläsern. Damit ist die erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete Stützkante insbesondere dafür geeignet, langstielige Gläser abstützen zu können, indem der Stiel eines Glases in die Ausnehmung eines wahlweisen Abschnittes verwenderseitig eingebracht wird. Dabei erbringt die Anordnung des Stiels eines Stielglases innerhalb einer Ausnehmung der Stützkante, dass bei einer Verfahrbewegung des Geschirrkorbs das von der Stützkante abgestützte Stielglas nicht ungewollt entlang der Stützkante gleitet oder sogar umfällt. Der Stiel des Glases ist in der zugehörigen Ausnehmung mit Bezug auf eine Verfahrbewegung des Geschirrkorbs vielmehr gefangen, so dass eine lagesichere Anordnung mit dem Ergebnis erreicht ist, dass eine spülgutschonende Anordnung vorliegt.According to the invention, it is provided that this longitudinal edge of the cup support, which serves as a support edge, has a wavy design. This wavy contour arises from the fact that alternating sections are provided, specifically sections running in a straight line on the one hand and sections providing a recess on the other. This wavy contour of the support edge is advantageous as follows. The sections providing a recess in each case serve to receive stems of stemmed glasses in a secure position. The support edge designed according to the invention is therefore particularly suitable for being able to support long-stemmed glasses by inserting the stem of a glass into the recess of an optional section on the user side. The arrangement of the stem of a stemmed glass within a recess of the supporting edge ensures that the stemmed glass supported by the supporting edge does not unintentionally slide along the supporting edge during a displacement movement of the crockery basket or even fall over. Rather, the stem of the glass is caught in the associated recess with respect to a displacement movement of the crockery basket, so that a secure arrangement is achieved with the result that an arrangement that is gentle on the items to be washed is present.
Die geradlinig verlaufenden Abschnitte dienen indes dazu, andere Arten von Spülgut, das heißt stielloses Spülgut abstützen zu können. Damit ist die erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete Stützkante sowohl dazu geeignet, einerseits Stielgläser lagesicher aufnehmen zu können, sowie andererseits dazu ausgelegt, auch stielloses Spülgut durch Anlage an den geradlinig verlaufenden Abschnitten sicher abstützen zu können.However, the sections running in a straight line are used to be able to support other types of items to be washed, ie items to be washed without handles. The support edge designed according to the invention is thus suitable both for being able to hold stemmed glasses in a secure position and for being able to also securely support stemless items to be washed by resting on the straight sections.
Die erfindungsgemäße Tassenauflage zeichnet sich ferner dadurch aus, dass ein Grundkörper und eine daran angeordnete Montageleiste vorgesehen sind, wobei zwischen Grundkörper und Montageleiste eine Dämpfungsleiste angeordnet ist. Diese Dämpfungsleiste ist aus einem weich-elastischen Kunststoff wie zum Beispiels Silikon gebildet. Im endmontierten Zustand steht die Dämpfungsleiste stützkantenseitig über den Grundkörper und die Montageleiste hinaus vor. Dadurch ist erreicht, dass an der Stützkante der Tassenauflage anliegendes Spülgut in Berührungskontakt mit der Dämpfungsleiste, nicht aber mit dem Grundkörper und/oder der Montageleiste kommt. Da die Dämpfungsleiste aus einem weich-elastischen Kunststoff gebildet ist, wird durch diese geometrische Ausgestaltung ein weiches Anliegen von Spülgut an der Stützkante erreicht, so dass ungewollte Verkratzungen des Spülguts aufgrund einer Relativbewegung zwischen Spülgut einerseits und Tassenauflage andererseits sicher vermieden sind. Auch durch diese konstruktive Maßnahme wird mithin eine schonende Behandlung des Spülguts sichergestellt.The cup support according to the invention is further characterized in that a base body and a mounting strip arranged thereon are provided, with a damping strip being arranged between the base body and the mounting strip. This damping bar is made of a soft, elastic plastic such as silicone. In the final assembled state, the damping strip protrudes beyond the base body and the mounting strip on the supporting edge side. The result of this is that items to be washed that are in contact with the support edge of the cup support come into physical contact with the damping strip, but not with the base body and/or the mounting strip. Since the damping strip is made of a soft, elastic plastic, this geometric configuration ensures that the items to be washed lie softly on the support edge, so that unwanted scratching of the items to be washed due to a relative movement between the items to be washed on the one hand and the cup support on the other are reliably avoided. This design measure also ensures gentle treatment of the items to be washed.
Die erfindungsgemäße Tassenauflage zeichnet sich alles in allem durch zwei wesentliche Aspekte aus. Zum einen stellt die Tassenauflage eine in ihrer Kontur wellenförmig ausgebildete Stützkante zur Verfügung, so dass die Stützkante einerseits der Abstützung von großteiligem Spülgut ebenso dienen kann, wie der Abstützung von insbesondere langstieligen Gläsern. Dabei sorgt die wellenförmig ausgebildete Kontur dafür, dass insbesondere langstielig ausgebildete Gläser in ihrer Position gehalten sind und auch bei einer Verschiebebewegung des Korbes nicht verrutschen und/oder umfallen. Zum anderen zeichnet sich die Tassenauflage durch ihre Dämpfungsleiste aus, die stützkantenseitig über den Grundkörper und die Montageleiste der Tassenauflage hinaus vorsteht, insbesondere entlang der gesamten oder im Wesentlichen der gesamten Längserstreckung der Stützkante bzw. der Tassenauflage. Die Dämpfungsleiste ist dabei insbesondere einstückig ausgebildet. Im bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendungsfall kommt mithin ein von der Tassenauflage abgestütztes Spülgut mit dem weich-elastischen Kunststoffmaterial der Dämpfungsleiste in Berührungskontakt, so dass eine spülgutschonende Abstützung erreicht ist, so dass insbesondere im Falle einer Relativbewegung zwischen Spülgut und Tassenauflage unter Umständen ansonsten auftretende Verkratzungen und/oder dergleichen Beschädigungen des Spülguts sicher vermieden sind.All in all, the cup support according to the invention is characterized by two essential aspects. On the one hand, the cup support provides a support edge with a wavy contour, so that the support edge can serve to support large items to be washed as well as to support long-stemmed glasses in particular. The wave-shaped contour ensures that long-stemmed glasses, in particular, are held in their position and do not slip and/or fall over even when the basket is displaced. On the other hand, the cup support is characterized by its damping strip, which extends beyond the base body and the mounting strip of the cup support on the supporting edge side protrudes, in particular along the entire or substantially the entire length of the supporting edge or the cup support. The damping strip is in particular designed in one piece. In the intended use case, items to be washed that are supported by the cup support therefore come into contact with the soft-elastic plastic material of the damping strip, so that support that is gentle on the items to be washed is achieved, so that scratches and/or the like may otherwise occur, particularly in the event of a relative movement between the items to be washed and the cup support Damage to the items to be washed is safely avoided.
Die Dämpfungsleiste besteht gemäß einem besonderen Merkmal der Erfindung aus Silikon. Dabei ist insbesondere Silikon als weich-elastischer Kunststoff für die Dämpfungseinheit geeignet, da Silikon auch bei höheren Spültemperaturen sowie gegenüber unter Umständen eingesetzter Reinigungschemie beständig ist.According to a special feature of the invention, the damping strip consists of silicone. In this case, silicone is particularly suitable as a soft-elastic plastic for the damping unit, since silicone is also resistant to cleaning chemicals that may be used, even at higher washing temperatures.
Es ist gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass der Grundkörper montageleistenseitig Dorne trägt, die in korrespondierend hierzu ausgebildete Ausnehmungen der Montageleiste eingreifen.According to a further feature of the invention, it is provided that the base body carries mandrels on the mounting strip side, which engage in correspondingly designed recesses in the mounting strip.
Zur Anordnung der vorzugsweise einstückig ausgebildeten Montageleiste am Grundkörper trägt der Grundkörper montageleistenseitig Dorne. Diese sind bevorzugterweise als federelastische Rastdorne ausgebildet. Die Montageleiste verfügt über Ausnehmungen, die korrespondieren zu den Dornen des Grundkörpers ausgebildet sind. Im endmontierten Zustand durchgreifen die Dorne die von den Montageleisten bereitgestellten Ausnehmungen, womit eine verrastete Anordnung der Montageleiste am Grundkörper erreicht ist.In order to arrange the mounting strip, which is preferably designed in one piece, on the base body, the base body carries mandrels on the mounting strip side. These are preferably designed as spring-elastic locking pins. The mounting bar has recesses that are designed to correspond to the spikes of the base body. In the final assembled state, the mandrels pass through the recesses provided by the mounting rails, with the result that a latched arrangement of the mounting rail on the base body is achieved.
Die vorbeschriebene Anordnung der Montageleiste am Grundkörper erweist sich in vorteilhafter Weise stabil und robust sowie als einfach herzustellen in der Montage.The above-described arrangement of the mounting strip on the base body has proven to be stable and robust in an advantageous manner and easy to manufacture during assembly.
Die Dämpfungsleiste verfügt gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung über Durchbrüche, die zu den Dornen des Grundkörpers korrespondierend ausgebildet sind. Im endmontierten Zustand durchgreifen mithin die vom Grundkörper bereitgestellten Dorne die zugehörigen Durchbrüche in der Dämpfungsleiste. Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, dass die Dämpfungsleiste in ihrer relativen Lage gegenüber dem Grundkörper fixiert ist, eine lagesichere Anordnung der Dämpfungsleiste in Relation sowohl zum Grundkörper als auch zur Montageleiste sichergestellt ist. Insgesamt ergibt sich ein sandwichartiger Aufbau, wonach zwischen Grundkörper und Montageleiste die Dämpfungsleiste angeordnet ist. Dabei sind diese drei Bauteile jeweils vorzuugsweise einstückig ausgebildet.According to a further feature of the invention, the damping strip has openings which are designed to correspond to the spikes of the base body. In the final assembled state, the spikes provided by the base body therefore reach through the associated openings in the damping strip. This ensures that the damping strip is fixed in its position relative to the base body secure position of the damping strip is ensured in relation to both the base body and the mounting strip. The overall result is a sandwich-like structure, after which the damping strip is arranged between the base body and the mounting strip. In this case, these three components are each preferably formed in one piece.
Der Grundkörper trägt gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung stützkantenseitig eine Reling. Diese Reling dient dazu, unter minimierten Flächeninanspruchnahme von der Tassenauflage aufgenommenes Spülgut, wie zum Beispiel Tassen abstützen zu können. Damit ist eine möglichst minimierte Berührungsfläche zwischen aufgenommenem Spülgut einerseits und Tassenauflage andererseits sichergestellt, womit begünstigt ist, dass die während eines Spülprogrammes auf das Spülgut aufgebrachte Spülflüssigkeit möglichst rückstandslos sowohl vom Spülgut als auch von der Tassenauflage abströmen kann. Auf der Tassenauflage stehende Spülflüssigkeit wird so weitestgehend vermieden, was die rückstandsfreie Trocknung des Spülguts begünstigt.According to a further feature of the invention, the base body carries a railing on the supporting edge side. The purpose of this railing is to be able to support items to be washed, such as cups, that have been picked up by the cup support while minimizing the use of space. This ensures that the contact surface between the items to be washed and the cup support is kept to a minimum. In this way, standing washing liquid on the cup support is avoided as far as possible, which promotes the residue-free drying of the washware.
Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Grundkörper, die Montageleiste und die Dämpfungsleiste einander überdeckende Fenster aufweisen. Diese Fenster dienen als Durchströmungsöffnung für Spülflüssigkeit, so dass einerseits von einer Sprüheinrichtung der Geschirrspülmaschine abgegebene Spülflüssigkeit von der Tassenauflage aufgenommenes Spülgut bestimmungsgemäß erreichen kann und dass andererseits auf das Spülgut aufgebracht Spülflüssigkeit abströmen kann und sich keine ungewollten Spülflüssigkeitspfützen auf der Tassenauflage ausbilden.According to a further feature of the invention, it is provided that the base body, the mounting strip and the damping strip have windows that overlap one another. These windows serve as a flow opening for washing liquid, so that on the one hand washing liquid released by a spray device of the dishwasher can reach the items to be washed picked up by the cup support as intended and on the other hand washing liquid applied to the items to be washed can flow out and no unwanted puddles of washing liquid form on the cup support.
Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die geradlinig verlaufenden Abschnitte der Stützkanten Vorsprünge tragen. Auch diese Vorsprünge dienen dazu, den Berührungskontakt zwischen abgestütztem Spülgut einerseits und Stützkante der Tassenauflage andererseits auf eine minimierte Berührungsfläche zu reduzieren. Das Spülgut liegt mithin nicht vollflächig an der Stützkante an, sondern stützt sich vielmehr nur über die von der Stützkante bereitgestellten Vorsprünge an der Stützkante ab. Damit kann Spülflüssigkeit auch stützkantenseitig am Spülgut ungehindert abfließen.According to a further feature of the invention, it is provided that the sections of the supporting edges running in a straight line have projections. These projections also serve to reduce the physical contact between the supported items to be washed on the one hand and the supporting edge of the cup support on the other hand to a minimized contact area. The items to be washed therefore do not rest against the supporting edge over their entire surface, but rather are only supported on the supporting edge via the projections provided by the supporting edge. In this way, washing liquid can also flow off unhindered on the support edge side of the items to be washed.
Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die der Stützkante gegenüberliegende Längsseite der Montageleiste Laschen trägt. Diese Laschen dienen der Anordnung der Montageleiste am Grundkörper. Der Grundkörper verfügt zu diesem Zweck über zu den Laschen korrespondierende Ausnehmungen. Im endmontierten Zustand greift die Montageleiste mithin mittels ihrer Laschen in die zugehörigen Ausnehmungen des Grundkörpers ein, wobei sie hinsichtlich ihrer anderen Längsseite, das heißt der Stützkante über die schon vorbeschriebene Dorn-Anordnung mit dem Grundkörper gekoppelt ist. Konstruktiv hat diese Ausgestaltung den Vorteil, dass in einfacher Weise eine Montage von Grundkörper und Montageleiste vorgenommen werden kann. Denn für eine Anordnung der Montageleiste am Grundkörper ist es lediglich erforderlich, die Montageleiste mit ihren Laschen voran in die zugehörigen Ausnehmungen des Grundkörpers einzuführen. Alsdann kann in einer einfachen Verdrehbewegung der Montageleiste relativ gegenüber dem Grundkörper um eine durch die Laschen der Montageleiste definierte Längsachse die Montageleiste auf den Grundkörper durch Einführen der grundkörperseitigen Dorne in die zugehörigen Ausnehmungen der Montageleiste aufgeklipst werden.According to a further feature of the invention, it is provided that the longitudinal side of the mounting strip opposite the support edge carries tabs. These tabs serve the arrangement of the mounting strip on the base body. For this purpose, the base body has recesses that correspond to the tabs. In the final assembled state, the assembly strip engages in the associated recesses of the base body by means of its tabs, with its other long side, ie the support edge, being coupled to the base body via the mandrel arrangement already described above. Structurally, this configuration has the advantage that the base body and mounting strip can be assembled in a simple manner. Because for an arrangement of the mounting bar on the base body, it is only necessary to introduce the mounting bar with its tabs first in the associated recesses of the base body. Then, in a simple twisting movement of the mounting bar relative to the base body about a longitudinal axis defined by the tabs of the mounting bar, the mounting bar can be clipped onto the base body by inserting the mandrels on the base body into the associated recesses of the mounting bar.

Der Geschirrkorb 1 verfügt des Weiteren über eine erfindungsgemäße Tassenauflage 4. Diese ist mittels zweier Gelenkböcke 19 verschwenkbar an einer vom Geschirrkorb 1 bereitgestellten Seitenwandung angeordnet. Die Darstellung nach
Die Tassenauflage 4 dient nicht nur dazu, kleinteiliges Spülgut aufnehmen zu können, sie stellt auch eine als Stützkante 5 dienende Längskante zur Verfügung, an der sich im bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendungsfall vom Geschirrkorb 1 aufgenommenes großteiliges Spülgut 3 abstützen kann, wie dies
Die Stützkante 5 der Tassenauflage 4 ist, wie dies auch die Darstellungen nach
Die geradlinigen Abschnitte 6 der Stützkante 7 dienen indes dazu, stielloses Geschirrgut sicher abzustützen. Dabei verfügen die geradlinigen Abschnitte 6 stützkantenseitig vorzugsweise über Vorsprünge 16, wie dies insbesondere die Darstellung nach
Die Tassenauflage 4 ist dreiteilig nach Art eines Sandwiches aufgebaut, wie sich dies aus der Darstellung nach
Die Tassenauflage 4 verfügt über einen Grundkörper 9 und eine Montageleiste 10. Im endmontierten Zustand ist zwischen dem Grundkörper 9 und der Montageleiste 10 eine Dämpfungsleiste 20 angeordnet, welche Dämpfungsleiste 20 aus einem weich-elastischen Kunststoffmaterial gebildet ist, vorzugsweise aus Silikon.The
Im endmontierten Zustand steht die Dämpfungsleiste stützkantenseitig über den Grundkörper 9 und die Montageleiste 10 hinaus vor, insbesondere sowohl im Bereich von geradlinig verlaufende Abschnitten 6 als auch im Bereich von eine Ausnehmung 8 bereitstellende Abschnitten 7, vorzugsweise entlang der gesamten Tassenauflage 4. Hierdurch ist erreicht, dass sich an der Stützkante abstützendes Spülgut nicht in direkten Berührungskontakt mit dem Grundkörper 9 oder der Montageleiste 10, sondern mit der aus einem weich-elastischen Kunststoffmaterial gebildeten Dämpfungsleiste 20 kommt. Etwaige Verkratzungen des Spülguts durch eine Relativbewegung zwischen Spülgut und Tassenauflage 4 sind damit verhindert. Im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß
Zur sicheren Anordnung der Montageleiste 10 am Grundkörper 9 verfügt die Montageleiste 10 vorzugsweise über Laschen 17, die im endmontierten Zustand in entsprechende Ausnehmungen 18 des Grundkörpers 9 eingreifen. Stützkantenseitig sind zudem am Grundkörper 9 Dorne 11 ausgebildet, die in zugehörige Ausnehmungen 12 der Montageleiste 10 verrastend eingreifen.For the secure arrangement of the mounting
Die zwischen Grundkörper 9 und Montageleiste 10 angeordnete Dämpfungsleiste 20 verfügt ebenfalls über zu den Dornen 11 korrespondierende Durchbrüche 13, so dass im endmontierten Zustand ein vom Grundkörper 9 bereitgestellter Dorn 11 einen zugehörigen Durchbruch 13 der Dämpfungsleiste 20 durchgreifend in eine zugehörige Ausnehmung 12 der Montageleiste 10 verrastet ist. Durch diese Art der Anordnung wird eine lagesichere Fixierung der Dämpfungsleiste 20 sichergestellt.The damping
Der Grundkörper 9, die Montageleiste 10 sowie die Dämpfungsleiste 20 verfügen jeweils über einander deckungsgleich übereinander angeordnete Fenster 15. Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, dass von der Sprüheinrichtung der Geschirrspülmaschine abgegebene Spülflüssigkeit von der Tassenauflage 4 aufgenommenes Spülgut bestimmungsgemäß erreichen kann. Andererseits kann durch die Fenster 15 Spülflüssigkeit vom Spülgut insbesondere zwecks Trocknung abströmen.The
Der Grundkörper 9 weist stützkantenseitig eine Reling 14 auf. Diese dient insbesondere dazu, die Berührungsfläche zwischen Tassenauflage 4 und einem von der Tassenauflage 4 aufgenommenen Spülgut zu minimieren, was ein Abströmen von Spülflüssigkeit begünstigt.The
