Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cutlery drawer for dishwashers in accordance with the preamble of claim 1 .
  • a cutlery drawer for a dishwasher is known from DE 3721689 A1 which is arranged in a dishwasher interior.
  • the cutlery drawer in addition to support points, also features holding means fastened to the base section of the cutlery drawer and extending at a right angle upwards in the form of rods and thus forming lateral support surfaces serving to hold inserted cutlery items.
  • These rod-type holding means have a low mechanical stability however and also make it difficult to insert items of cutlery since a precise positioning of the cutlery items is required for this, which demands great care from an operator.
  • the object of the invention is thus to further develop a cutlery drawer for dishwashers so as to make operation easier.
  • a cutlery draw for dishwashers at least comprising a base section on which at least holding means for holding cutlery are arranged, with the cutlery drawer being characterized by the holding means featuring at least two fastening sections, with which the holding means are attached to the base section and a center section that connects the at least two fastening sections to each other.
  • the at least two fastening sections prefferably there is provision for the at least two fastening sections to be embodied for holding items of cutlery, i.e. for the two fastening sections to be arranged along a straight line, which essentially runs in parallel to a longitudinal axis of a inserted item of cutlery, so that at least two fastening sections hold onto at least two sections of an item of cutlery.
  • the at least two fastening sections to be embodied for holding items of cutlery on both sides, i.e. for the holding means, consisting of at least two fastening sections and a center section joining the two fastening sections, to be embodied symmetrically and to interact with a holding means arranged adjacent to them in each case.
  • the at least two fastening sections and the center section Preferably there is provision for the at least two fastening sections and the center section to have an identical cross section.
  • the two fastening sections and the center sections merge seamlessly into each other, which counteracts any undesired drop formation or adhesion.
  • the at least two fastening sections and/or the center section may have different cross sections.
  • the at least two fastening sections and the center section can have any shape of cross section, for example a half-round or half-oval cross section. It is also conceivable for the at least two fastening sections and the center section to have a rectangular cross section, a hexagonal cross section or a cross section featuring a larger number of corners. Preferably however there is provision for the at least two fastening sections and the center section to have a triangular cross section. In this case the two fastening sections and the center section are arranged and embodied such that items of cutlery inserted rest against one edge of the triangular cross section, so that the contact surface is minimized and staining is largely avoided.
  • the base section of the cutlery drawer, the at least two fastening sections and the center section can be made up of individual components which are joined together during an assembly process.
  • the base section, the at least two fastening sections and the center section can be embodied in one piece.
  • the base section of the cutlery drawer, the at least two fastening sections and the center section can be manufactured from a suitable plastic, e.g. by means of injection molding, with the plastic being appropriately temperature- and chemical-resistant in accordance with use inside a dishwasher.
  • the center section which connects at least two attachment sections of the holding means to each other can take any form, featuring notches for example.
  • the holding means is embodied in the form of a loop, i.e. for at least two fastening sections and the center section to be embodied essentially without transitions or kink-free in the form of a hyperbola going over into each other.
  • the holding means are preferably arranged in at least one row, so that the holding means are arranged next to each other and especially the holding means up to the holding means arranged at the end of the row are embodied for holding items of cutlery on both sides, so that a minimum number of holding means can hold a maximum number of items of cutlery.
  • the invention belongs to a dishwasher featuring at least one cutlery drawer of this type.
  • FIG. 1 a perspective diagram of a section of an inventive cutlery drawer
  • FIG. 2 a front view of an inventive exemplary embodiment
  • FIG. 3 an overhead view of an inventive exemplary embodiment
  • FIG. 4 a perspective view of an inventive exemplary embodiment of the invention.
  • the figures show a base section 2 of a cutlery drawer 14 for dishwashers (not shown) which has a plurality of holding means 4 arranged adjacent to each other in a row, with the base section 2 of the cutlery drawer 14 and the holding means 4 being formed in one piece, from a suitable plastic.
  • Two adjacent holding means 4 in each case form a support space 16 into which an item of cutlery, such as a knife 18 or also a spoon or a fork, can be inserted in this exemplary embodiment.
  • the holding means 4 each feature a fastening section 8 , 10 which is fastened to the base section 2 of the cutlery drawer.
  • the two fastening sections 8 , 10 are connected to each other by an arched center section 12 , so that the two fastening sections 8 , 10 and the center section 12 have a kink-free loop-shaped design.
  • the two fastening sections 8 , 10 and the center section 12 have the same cross section, which is embodied as a triangle.
  • the two holding elements 4 arranged adjacent to each other are arranged in relation to each other in this case so that the two fastening sections 8 , 10 of the two holding means 4 are each arranged on one side of an item of cutlery 6 to be held and thus guarantee that inserted knives remain standing on the cutting edge 20 of the blade 22 .
  • the holding means are arranged so that the edges formed by the triangular cross section form holding surfaces for the inserted items of cutlery, so that the contact surface between the edges and the item of cutlery 6 is minimized and it is thus guaranteed that staining is reduced during the drying process.
