Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a cutlery basket for a dishwasher comprising at least one crockery basket into which at least one cutlery basket can be inserted, which is provided with a plurality of passages for washing liquid to pass through at least in the bottom of the cutlery basket or in at least one side wall of the cutlery basket.
- It is generally known to use crockery baskets to hold crockery items—such as plates, cups, glasses, cutlery etc., in particular in domestic dishwashers. Such a crockery basket is known, for example, from German Unexamined Laid-Open Patent Application DE-31 30 627 A1 or from German Utility Model DE-88 11 474 U1.
- In crockery baskets of this type, additional removable inserts, so-called cutlery baskets are usually provided to hold cutlery, in which the cutlery items to be cleaned, e.g. knives, forks, spoons etc. are arranged substantially vertically upwards in the position of use. Such cutlery baskets are known, for example, from German Patent DE-36 41 020 C1 or German Unexamined Laid-Open Patent Application DE-100 56 487 A1. In all the known crockery baskets of the type specified initially, the cutlery items arranged in these cutlery baskets project upwards from the cutlery basket and from the crockery basket.
- Dishwashers known on the market, in particular domestic dishwashers, have at least one crockery basket for arranging the items to be cleaned, where the at least one cutlery basket is usually arranged in the crockery basket which, when the door of the dishwasher is opened, rests thereon when withdrawn, in the lowermost crockery basket. The door of such dishwashers is usually pivotable about a horizontal axis. Such doors are known, for example, from German patent DE-35 37 185-C1.
- In practice, it has been shown that when dishwashers are placed on the floor, the cutlery items, particularly when these are arranged so that their tips project upwards from the cutlery basket, present a major source of danger. When a door is opened out and then runs in a plane parallel to the floor at a short distance from the floor, inattentive persons, in particular children, could stumble over the open door and fall onto the crockery basket, sustaining considerable injuries from pointed elements and/or items of cutlery projecting upwards from the crockery basket, especially if these are arranged with their tips pointing upwards, e.g. forks, steak knives etc.
- It is thus the object of the invention to at least significantly reduce the risk of injury described above in a simple fashion.
- This object is achieved according to the invention by at least one of the side walls of the cutlery compartment rising at least above the height of the cutlery items which are arranged so that they point upwards in the cutlery basket.
- Since the side wall of the cutlery basket is higher than the hazardous inserted objects, the risk of injury is significantly reduced since a person falling onto the crockery basket is kept at a distance from the hazardous inserted objects by the raised side wall of the cutlery basket. The invention significantly reduces the risk of injury from upwardly projecting items of cutlery in a simple manner.
- To complete the protection, according to a preferred feature of the invention, all the side walls of the cutlery basket at least rise above the height of the cutlery items arranged so that they point upwards in the cutlery basket.
- More appropriately, in dishwashers with at least two crockery baskets arranged one above the other and at least one cutlery basket arranged in the lowermost crockery basket in the position of use, the height of the cutlery basket side walls which at least exceed the height of the cutlery items optionally arranged in the cutlery basket so that they point upwards is limited by the next crockery basket arranged above the lowermost crockery basket and/or its spray device in the position of use or alternatively in dishwashers having only one crockery basket, the height of the cutlery basket side walls which at least exceed the height of the cutlery items optionally arranged in the cutlery basket so that they point upwards is limited by the opening height of the treatment chamber of the dishwasher. This measure ensures that at the location of the hazard, the object of avoiding injuries according to the invention is achieved.
- According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cutlery basket side walls which rise above the cutlery items arranged in the cutlery basket so that they point upwards are arranged so that they diverge upwards in the position of use at least partly in a funnel shape so that despite the raised side walls of the cutlery basket, it is easier to fill the cutlery basket with cutlery.
- According to a preferred feature of the invention, the cutlery basket side walls which rise above the cutlery items arranged in the cutlery basket so that they point upwards can be at least partially removed. This measure ensures that the object of reducing injuries according to the invention is also achieved with cutlery baskets located at the user since these can be retrofitted. Thus, it is additionally possible, for example, when the children are grown up, to further operate the retrofitted cutlery basket and also that originally fitted with the removable wall portion by removing the additional wall portion, in which case in particular it is easier to fill the cutlery basket with cutlery.
- The cutlery basket according to the invention is preferably manufactured simply if the removable wall portion consists of individual wall portions.
- In a particularly advantageous manner, the individual wall portions of the removable wall portion are hinged about vertical axes in the position of use so that the removable wall portion is foldable, allowing space-saving storage.
- The removable wall portion is preferably manufactured simply if the removable wall portion is produced in one piece.
- According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cutlery basket has a cover. The arrangement of the cover increases still further the reduction of injuries forming the object of the invention since the hazardous inserted objects are additionally covered.
- Easier handling of the cover, since this need not be stored separately, is appropriately achieved if the cover is hinged to at least one of the cutlery basket side walls or to at least one of the individual wall portions of the cover.
- The cutlery basket or the removable wall portion is preferably manufactured simply by fabricating the cutlery basket in one piece with the cover or the removable wall portion in one piece with the cover.
- According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, water guiding surfaces are arranged at least at one of the cutlery basket side walls which diverge upwards in a funnel shape in the position of use or at least at one of the individual wall portions which diverge upwards in a funnel shape in the position of use. These water guiding surfaces are used to ensure better action of water on the cutlery inserted in the funnel-shaped cutlery basket.
- The invention is explained hereinafter with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawings. In the figures:
