Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to an insert for a dishwasher rack, and in particular to an insert adapted to hold long-stem glasses.
  • a dishwasher generally have what are known as racks for receiving and supporting dishware therein.
  • a dishwasher has a lower rack, an upper rack and may additionally have a cutlery tray.
  • the lower rack due to its spacing from the upper rack, is used in particular for receiving and supporting plates, glasses and/or other small items of dishware.
  • a common problem is to place long-stem glasses, such as wine or champagne glasses, in conventional racks in a manner that provides positional stability while at the same time ensuring that the desired washing result is actually achieved.
  • Previously known racks allow long-stem glasses, for example, to be received and supported horizontally therein.
  • this way of supporting glasses not only has the disadvantage of requiring a large volume of space, but may also result in rinse water remaining in the bowl of the glass.
  • supporting long-stem glasses vertically does not provide positional stability because the glasses are not sufficiently supported. This may disadvantageously result in glass breakage which, of course, is to be avoided.
  • German Patent Application DE 199 44 883 A1 describes a click & safe holder for holding long tubular glasses, such as wheat beer glasses.
  • This holder includes a head portion carrying a plurality of movable arms.
  • the wheat beer glass is placed over the head portion thereof, the movable arms securing the glass in position.
  • glasses having long stems cannot be securely held in position by this type of holder.
  • a rack insert for long-stem wine and champagne glasses is described in DE 200 05 725 U1.
  • the insert described therein is intended to hold wine and champagne glasses in a suspended manner.
  • This insert is made up of a main member mounted on the end of a tube that serves as a holding stem. When used as intended, this tube is slipped over a tine of the dishwasher rack, as can be seen in FIG. 2 of DE 200 05 725 U1.
  • the insert described in DE 200 05 725 U1 is disadvantageous for two reasons. For one thing, only glasses up to a certain height can be accommodated. This limitation is due to the height of the tines that carry the insert during the intended use thereof. Another drawback is due to the suspended positioning, which results in residual liquid accumulating in the region between a fork-shaped holding portion of the main member and the foot of a glass, leaving spots on the glass foot and/or stem. During later use of the glass, these dishwasher spots are particularly striking because they are in the direct field of view of an observer. Consequently, the insert described in DE 200 05 725 U1 is neither suitable for holding long-stem glasses, nor does it not allow satisfactory washing results.
  • the present invention provides an insert for a rack of a dishwasher including a bowl holder having a frustoconical shape and a contact rib.
  • the contact rib has an exterior side and a sawtooth profile disposed on the exterior side.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an insert in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic view of an insert in accordance with another embodiment of the present.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view showing an embodiment of a bowl holder
  • FIG. 4 is a view showing the bowl holder of FIG. 3 from a different perspective
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing a portion of the bowl holder of FIG. 3 ;
  • FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing a detail of an embodiment of a foot holder in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a schematic view showing the bowl holder of FIG. 3 in combination with a clamping element
  • FIG. 8 is a schematic perspective view showing the manner in which a clamped holder can be arranged on the lower rack of a dishwasher;
  • FIG. 9 is a schematic perspective view showing the foot holder
  • FIG. 10 is a side view showing the manner in which an insert can be arranged on the lower rack of a dishwasher
  • FIG. 11 is a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a holding device in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 12 is a schematic perspective view of another embodiment of a holding device in accordance with the present invention.
  • the present invention provides an insert which is adapted to hold in particular long-stem glasses and which assists in achieving a desired washing result while at the same time providing positionally stable support.
  • An insert in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention has a bowl holder which is frustoconical in shape. When used as intended, this bowl holder holds the bowl of a glass. In order for the glass to be held as intended, it is placed with the bowl over the bowl holder of the insert of. The glass is securely held due to the frustoconical shape of the bowl holder. Wash and rinse liquid can run off from both the interior and exterior surfaces of the bowl, so that, advantageously, no dishwasher spots are left on the bowl of the glass.
  • the bowl of the glass rests by its edge on a contact rib of the bowl holder.
  • a sawtooth profile is formed on the exterior side of said contact rib. This configuration provides a drainage rib for wash and rinse water, allowing any remaining water to run off therealong. This enables the achievement of the desired washing result.
  • the frustoconical bowl holder further has the advantage that it allows glasses of different bowl diameters to be positioned in an optimized manner at all times.
  • the insert is not subject to any limitations with respect to the shape of the glass.
  • the bowl holder includes a first and a second truncated cone section, the contact rib extending between these two truncated cone sections. It is also possible to provide a plurality of contact ribs, for example three, four or more contact ribs.
  • the configuration including two truncated cone sections has the advantage of minimizing the contact area between the insert and the glass, which, on the one hand, facilitates the intended use and, on the other hand, eliminates the cause of unwanted accumulation of residual water.
  • the truncated cone sections may be circular segments, the first truncated cone section being smaller in diameter than the second truncated cone section.
  • first truncated cone section is meant to refer to the one that is closer to the glass. This configuration results in an overall frustoconical shape of the bowl holder.
  • the bowl holder may be formed in one piece from plastic. This allows for easier manufacture and increased ease of use.
  • the insert may include a clamping element for securing the bowl holder to the dishwasher rack.
  • This clamping element serves to secure the bowl holder in position on a dishwasher rack generally known in the art.
  • the clamping element may also be referred to as a connecting adapter, which serves to connect the bowl holder and the dishwasher rack.
  • the clamping element may be U-shaped and geometrically configured in such a way that it can be clamped, for example, into a standard loop of a lower rack.
  • the clamp has a peripheral receiving groove which, when used as intended, is engaged by the plastic-coated wire of the loop of the rack.
  • the insert may have a foot holder which serves to supportingly receive the foot of a glass.
  • the insert includes a bowl holder and a foot holder, so that, when used as intended, a glass is received by the bowl holder and supported at its foot by the foot holder.
  • the foot holder includes a contact leg which has a sawtooth profile on the side facing the foot of the glass.
  • the foot holder can include an attachment portion.
  • This attachment portion serves to secure the foot holder to the dishwasher rack.
  • the attachment portion may take the form of a clamping element which allows the foot holder to be attached to the dishwasher rack by means of a click-type connection.
  • the foot holder is preferably formed in one piece from plastic.
  • the bowl holder and the foot holder may be combined to form a common holding device.
  • the holding device may have a kind of connecting web which interconnects the bowl holder and the foot holder. Provision may be made, in particular, for the foot holder to be attached to the connecting web so that it is movable relative thereto and, more specifically, in a direction along and/or transverse to the connecting web. This configuration enables the holding device to be individually adapted to glasses of different types, sizes and shapes.
  • embodiments of the present invention provide an insert which is adapted to hold in particular long-stem glasses and which allows glasses to be securely positioned in the rack of a dishwasher and at the same time is easy to use.
  • the insert of the present invention due to its design as described above, ensures that a good washing result is achieved and prevents, in particular, unwanted accumulations of residual water.
  • the insert can be removably attached to the rack at substantially any desired position.
  • FIG. 1 shows an insert 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Insert 1 has a bowl holder 6 which, when used as intended, holds bowl 3 of a glass 2 .
  • insert 1 further has a foot holder 16 , on which supportedly rests foot 5 of glass 2 , which is provided on the end of a stem 4 .
  • Foot holder 16 provides a contact leg 17 having a sawtooth profile 18 on the side facing the glass.
  • bowl holder 6 has a contact rib 9 which provides a sawtooth profile 12 on the exterior side; i.e., on the side facing the glass.
  • insert 1 increases convenience when washing, in particular, long-stem glasses.
  • Bowl 3 of glass 2 is supported on a frustoconical bowl holder 6 , the frustoconical shape having the advantage that it allows glasses 2 of different bowl diameters to be positioned in an optimized manner at all times. This is readily apparent when viewing the FIGS. 1 and 2 in conjunction with one another. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , bowl 3 is of greater diameter.
  • sawtooth profiles 12 and 18 allow any remaining water to run off more effectively. This makes it possible to achieve an optimized washing result. Further, the position of the ridges of sawtooth profile 12 is selected such that they are always extend at the lowermost point of bowl 3 , which makes it possible to prevent water and evaporation residues.
  • sawtooth profile 18 provided by foot holder 16 permits optimized drying, so that foot 5 of glass 2 is also kept free from unwanted accumulations of residual water and/or evaporation residues.
  • the configuration of sawtooth profile 18 makes it possible to supportingly receive feet 5 of glasses 2 of different geometric shape, as is readily apparent when viewing especially FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 in conjunction with one another.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate an exemplary embodiment of a bowl holder 6 of the present invention.
  • bowl holder 6 includes a first truncated cone section 7 and a second truncated cone section 8 .
  • First truncated cone section 7 is formed by a circular circumferentially extending segment 10
  • second truncated cone section 8 is formed by a circular circumferentially extending segment 11 .
