The household dishwasher's washware holder can be, for example, a crockery basket, in particular a lower or upper crockery basket. It is also conceivable for the household dishwasher to hold items to be washed in the form of a cutlery basket or a cutlery drawer. As far as “basket” is used in the present case, this means a grid structure which is designed in the shape of a container, with grid elements of the grid structure being made of metal, in particular wire, and/or plastic.
Bei der ebenen Abstellfläche kann es sich um eine Küchenoberfläche etwa einer Küchenarbeitsplatte handeln. "Eben" meint, dass die Abstellfläche eine Ebene mit gleicher oder im Wesentlichen gleicher Höhe bildet.The flat storage surface can be a kitchen surface, such as a kitchen worktop. “Flat” means that the storage area forms a level with the same or essentially the same height.
Bei den Stielgläsern kann es sich beispielsweise um Wein- oder Sektgläser handeln.The stemware can be, for example, wine or champagne glasses.
Soweit vorliegende von "oben", "unten", "hoch" oder "Höhe" gesprochen wird, so bezieht sich dies auf die Schwerkraftrichtung.As far as "above", "below", "high" or "height" is used, this refers to the direction of gravity.
Es kann ein und derselbe Fuß sowohl dem Aufsetzen des Glashalteraufsatzes auf die Spülgutaufnahme der Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine wie auch dem Abstellen des Glashalteraufsatzes auf der ebenen Abstellfläche dienen. Grundsätzlich ist es denkbar, dass alle Füße (erste und zweite) diese Doppelfunktion aufweisen. Dies wird jedoch in der Regel gar nicht erforderlich sein. Vielmehr genügt es, wenn beispielsweise vier Füße vorgesehen sind, welche die Doppelfunktion aufweisen, also jeweils als erste und zweite Füße fungieren. Vier Füße dieser Art gewähren nämlich einen sicheren Stand des Glashalteraufsatzes auf der ebenen Abstellfläche. Darüber hinaus können beispielsweise zwei, drei, vier oder mehr weitere Füße vorgesehen sein, welche ausschließlich als erste und nicht als zweite Füße fungieren. Damit sind die weiteren Füße ausschließlich für das Aufsetzen des Glashalteraufsatzes auf die Spülgutaufnahme der Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine vorgesehen. Die weiteren Füße gewähren - über die vorstehend beschriebenen Füße hinaus - eine zusätzliche Abstützung des Glashalteraufsatzes auf der Spülgutaufnahme der Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine und sorgen damit für einen verbesserten Stand. In anderen Ausführungsformen könnte wiederum vorgesehen sein, dass keiner der Füße die vorstehend beschriebene Doppelfunktion aufweist, das heißt es gibt solche Füße, welche für das Aufsetzen des Glashalteraufsatzes auf die Spülgutaufnahme der Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine vorgesehen sind, und andere Füße, welche für das Abstellen des Glashalteraufsatzes auf der ebenen Abstellfläche vorgesehen sind.One and the same foot can be used to place the glass holder attachment on the washware holder of the household dishwasher as well as to place the glass holder attachment on the flat shelf. In principle, it is conceivable that all feet (first and second) have this dual function. However, this will usually not be necessary. Rather, it is sufficient if, for example, four feet are provided which have the dual function, i.e. each function as the first and second feet. Four feet of this type ensure that the glass holder attachment stands securely on the flat surface. In addition, for example, two, three, four or more additional feet can be provided, which function exclusively as first and not as second feet. This means that the other feet are intended exclusively for placing the glass holder attachment on the washware holder of the household dishwasher. The additional feet provide - in addition to the feet described above - additional support for the glass holder attachment on the washware holder of the household dishwasher and thus ensure an improved stand. In other embodiments, provision could be made for none of the feet to be as described above Has dual function, that is, there are feet which are intended for placing the glass holder attachment on the washware holder of the household dishwasher, and other feet which are intended for placing the glass holder attachment on the flat shelf.
Damit ergibt sich eine sichere Abstützung des auf der Spülgutaufnahme der Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine aufsitzenden Glashalteraufsatzes.This results in secure support for the glass holder attachment sitting on the washware holder of the household dishwasher.
Gemäß einer Ausführungsform weisen die ersten Füße eine U-Form auf, welche dazu eingerichtet ist, ein Drahtelement des oberen Seitenrands der Spülgutaufnahme der Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine teilweise zu umgreifen, wenn der Glashalteraufsatz auf diese aufgesetzt ist.According to one embodiment, the first feet have a U-shape, which is designed to partially surround a wire element of the upper side edge of the washware holder of the household dishwasher when the glass holder attachment is placed on it.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform weisen die zweiten Füße eine U-Form auf, welche dazu eingerichtet ist, ein Drahtelement des Bodens der Spülgutaufnahme der Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine teilweise zu umgreifen, wenn der Glashalteraufsatz auf diese aufgesetzt ist, und mit seinen freien Enden auf der ebenen Abstellfläche zu stehen, wenn der Glashalteraufsatz auf dieser abgestellt ist.According to a further embodiment, the second feet have a U-shape, which is designed to partially surround a wire element of the bottom of the washware holder of the household dishwasher when the glass holder attachment is placed on it, and to stand with its free ends on the flat shelf when the glass holder attachment is placed on it.
Mittels einer derartigen U-Form lässt sich sicher verhindern, dass der Glashalteraufsatz von der Spülgutaufnahme der Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine in seinem auf diese aufgesetzten Zustand abrutscht. Es sind jedoch auch andere konstruktive Ausgestaltungen denkbar, die ein solches Abrutschen verhindern. Beispielsweise könnten die ersten und zweiten Füße in an der Spülgutaufnahme der Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine vorgesehene Vertiefungen oder Taschen einsteckbar sein. "U-Form" ist vorliegend dahingehend zu verstehen, dass auch andere in ihrer Wirkung vergleichbare geometrische Formen eingeschlossen sind, beispielsweise eine V-Form oder Halbkreisform.By means of such a U-shape, it is possible to reliably prevent the glass holder attachment from slipping off the washware holder of the household dishwasher when it is placed on it. However, other structural designs are also conceivable that prevent such slipping. For example, the first and second feet could be insertable into recesses or pockets provided on the washware holder of the household dishwasher. “U-shape” is to be understood in the present case to mean that other geometric shapes with comparable effects are also included, for example a V-shape or semicircular shape.
Bevorzugt weisen ein oder mehrere der ersten oder zweiten Füße (oder auch alle) einen stabförmigen Abschnitt auf. An diesen stabförmigen Abschnitt kann sich die vorstehend erwähnte U-Form anschließen. Je nachdem, ob es sich nun um einen langen oder kurzen Fuß handelt, ist der stabförmige Abschnitt unterschiedlich lang ausgebildet.One or more of the first or second feet (or all) preferably have a rod-shaped section. The above-mentioned U-shape can adjoin this rod-shaped section. Depending on whether it is a long or short foot, the rod-shaped section has different lengths.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform sind die ersten Füße und/oder die zweiten Füße an der Halterung angebracht.According to a further embodiment, the first feet and/or the second feet are attached to the holder.
Dies kann mittelbar oder unmittelbar vorgesehen sein. So können die ersten und zweiten Füße beispielsweise mithilfe eines später noch näher erläuterten Rahmens mit der Halterung verbunden sein (mittelbare Befestigung).This can be provided directly or indirectly. For example, the first and second feet can be connected to the holder using a frame that will be explained in more detail later (indirect attachment).
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform sind ein oder mehrere der ersten Füße und/oder der zweiten Füße schwenkbar vorgesehen.According to a further embodiment, one or more of the first feet and/or the second feet are provided to be pivotable.
Dadurch lässt sich der Glashalteraufsatz platzsparend verstauen, wenn er nicht benötigt wird, beispielsweise in einem Küchenschrank. Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass sämtliche zweite Füße, also alle langen Füße, schwenkbar vorgesehen sind. Demgegenüber können die kurzen Füße fest, also nicht schwenkbar, an der Halterung angebracht sein. Weiter kann wiederum vorgesehen sein, dass - anstelle der schwenkbaren Befestigung - die langen Füße abnehmbar von der Halterung vorgesehen sind. Dazu sind die langen Füße lösbar an der Halterung befestigt. Entsprechendes könnte auch für die kurzen Füße vorgesehen sein.This means that the glass holder attachment can be stowed away to save space when it is not needed, for example in a kitchen cupboard. In particular, it can be provided that all second feet, i.e. all long feet, are designed to be pivotable. In contrast, the short feet can be attached to the holder firmly, i.e. not pivotably. Furthermore, it can again be provided that - instead of the pivotable attachment - the long feet are provided so that they can be removed from the holder. The long feet are detachably attached to the holder. The same could also be provided for the short feet.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform weist der Glashalteraufsatz Handgriffe für das Aufsetzen des Glashalteraufsatzes auf die Spülgutaufnahme der Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine und Abstellen desselben auf der ebenen Abstellfläche auf.According to a further embodiment, the glass holder attachment has handles for placing the glass holder attachment on the washware holder of the household dishwasher and placing it on the flat shelf.
Die Handgriffe können beispielsweise U-förmig ausgebildet sein. Insbesondere können die Handgriffe aus Kunststoff und/oder Metall, insbesondere Draht, gebildet sein. Bevorzugt sind zwei, drei oder vier Handgriffe vorgesehen.The handles can be U-shaped, for example. In particular, the handles can be made of plastic and/or metal, in particular wire. Two, three or four handles are preferably provided.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist die Halterung dazu eingerichtet, die Stielgläser hängend in einer Reihe und/oder geneigt zu halten.According to a further embodiment, the holder is designed to hold the stemware hanging in a row and/or at an angle.
"Hängend" meint, dass die Stielgläser an deren Stiel und/oder deren Fuß gehalten werden, wobei der Kelch nach unten gerichtet ist. Dies verbessert eine Trocknung derselben. Die Trocknung wird noch weiter verbessert, indem die Stielgläser zusätzlich geneigt gehalten werden, weil dadurch ein singulärer Abtropfpunkt geschaffen wird."Hanging" means that the stemware is held by its stem and/or foot, with the bowl pointing downwards. This improves drying the same. Drying is further improved by keeping the stemware at an additional angle, because this creates a unique dripping point.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform weist die Halterung zumindest zwei parallele Stäbe auf, welche voneinander beabstandet sind, um Stiele der Stielgläser zwischen sich aufzunehmen, wobei zumindest einer der Stäbe dazu eingerichtet ist, sich an die Stiele anschließende Füße nach oben abzustützen.According to a further embodiment, the holder has at least two parallel rods, which are spaced apart from one another in order to accommodate stems of the stemware between them, with at least one of the rods being designed to support feet adjoining the stems upwards.
Dadurch kann die vorstehend beschriebene hängende Halterung der Stielgläser einfach bewerkstelligt werden. Insbesondere kann die Halterung mehrere Paare von jeweils zwei parallelen Stäben aufweisen. Dadurch können mehrere Reihen von Stielgläsern parallel nebeneinander gehalten werden. Bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass die zwei parallelen Stäbe jeweils zu einer Seite an einem noch näher beschriebenen Rahmen befestigt sind. An ihren jeweiligen Enden sind die zwei parallelen Stäbe frei, so dass von dieser Seite die Stielgläser zwischen die zwei parallelen Stäbe eingeschoben werden können. Bevorzugt korrespondiert die nachstehend noch näher beschriebene offene Seite des U-förmigen Rahmens mit den freien Enden der Stäbe, so dass die Stielgläser über die offene Seite des Rahmens zu den freien Enden der Stäbe bewegt und dort zwischen diese eingeschoben werden können.This means that the above-described hanging holder for the stemware can be easily achieved. In particular, the holder can have several pairs of two parallel rods. This allows several rows of stemware to be held parallel to each other. It is preferably provided that the two parallel rods are each attached to one side on a frame described in more detail. The two parallel rods are free at their respective ends so that the stemware can be inserted between the two parallel rods from this side. The open side of the U-shaped frame, described in more detail below, preferably corresponds to the free ends of the rods, so that the stemware can be moved over the open side of the frame to the free ends of the rods and inserted between them.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform sind die Stäbe auf unterschiedlicher Höhe angeordnet.According to a further embodiment, the bars are arranged at different heights.
Dadurch kann die vorstehend beschriebene geneigte Halterung der Stielgläser einfach bewerkstelligt werden. Der Stiel eines jeweiligen Stielglases liegt somit an zwei Punkten auf unterschiedlicher Höhe an gegenüberliegenden Seiten des jeweiligen Stiels an.This means that the inclined holder of the stemware described above can be easily achieved. The stem of a respective stemmed glass therefore lies at two points at different heights on opposite sides of the respective stem.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform umfasst der Glashalteraufsatz einen U-förmigen Rahmen mit zwei seitlichen Rahmenelementen und einem dazwischen angeordneten rückseitigen Rahmenelement, wobei die Halterung an dem rückseitigen Rahmenelement, die ersten Füße und/oder die zweiten Füße an dem seitlichen Rahmenelement und/oder die Handgriffe an dem seitlichen Rahmenelement angebracht sind.According to a further embodiment, the glass holder attachment comprises a U-shaped frame with two side frame elements and a rear frame element arranged between them, the holder being on the rear frame element, the first feet and/or the second feet on the side frame element and/or the handles are attached to the side frame element.
Die Rahmenelemente können aus Kunststoff und/oder Metall, insbesondere aus Draht, gefertigt sein. Bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass sich die kurzen Füße jeweils von Enden der Rahmenelemente nach unten erstrecken. Weiter kann vorgesehen sein, dass an den seitlichen Rahmenelementen jeweils zwei lange Füße vorgesehen sind, welche sich von diesen nach unten erstrecken. Die langen Füße sind insbesondere zwischen jeweils zwei kurzen Füßen an einem jeweiligen seitlichen Rahmenelement vorgesehen. Die Handgriffe können an den zwei seitlichen Rahmenelementen derart vorgesehen sein, dass sie sich nach oben erstrecken. Die Handgriffe sind damit besonders gut für eine Bedienerperson erreichbar.The frame elements can be made of plastic and/or metal, in particular wire. It is preferably provided that the short feet each extend downwards from the ends of the frame elements. Furthermore, it can be provided that two long feet are provided on the side frame elements, which extend downwards from them. The long feet are in particular provided between two short feet on a respective side frame element. The handles can be provided on the two side frame elements in such a way that they extend upwards. The handles are therefore particularly easy to reach for an operator.
