Dishwasher, especially domestic dishwasher

Abstract

Dishwasher, in particular domestic dishwasher, comprising a crockery basket which comprises a, in particular rotating, washing arm which is supplied with water by a water transferring pipe (1), wherein the water transferring pipe (1) is connected with the crockery basket and coupling means (2) are provided for hydraulic coupling of the water transferring pipe (1) to a water supply pipe (3) which is arranged in a wall or in a corner of the washing cavity, wherein the crockery basket is adjustable in its height relatively to the washing cavity of the dishwasher and the coupling means (2) allow hydraulic coupling of the water transferring pipe (1) to the water supply pipe (3) in at least two different height positions of the crockery basket, wherein the coupling means (2) comprise a bellow that is elastically deformable, wherein the bellow (4) is connected to the water supply pipe (3); and comprises an open axial end (5) that is adapted for releasable sealing contact with the water transferring pipe (1), wherein the bellow (4) has a sealing surface (6) at its open axial end (5) which cooperates with at least one sealing surface (7', 7'') of an adapter element (8) which is provided at the corresponding end of the water transferring pipe (1), and wherein the adapter element (8) has at least two sealing surfaces (7', 7'') for different height positions of the crockery basket.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a dishwasher, preferably a domestic dishwasher, having a crockery basket, preferably the crockery basket is movable in translational direction into a washing chamber of the dishwasher, wherein the crockery basket has In particular a rotating washing arm supplied with water by a water delivery pipe connected to a crockery basket, wherein coupling means are provided for coupling the water delivery pipe to a water supply pipe connected to the housing of the dishwasher , wherein the coupling device allows hydraulic coupling of the delivery pipe to the water supply pipe. Background technique [0002] Dishwashers of this type are disclosed, for example, in DE 41 37 227 C2 and in DE 197 05 548 B4. A crockery basket is arranged in the dishwasher, which crockery basket can be pulled out of the washing cavity in order to load the basket with dishes; the basket is then pushed back into the washing cavity in order to carry out the washing...

Glasses and other saucers may tip due to this unwanted movement

Furthermore, water that has remained on top of the wash load (such as on the bottom of an inverted glass) after the end of the drying step of the wash cycle may be thrown off by this jerking motion of the basket, causing Undesirably wetting of dry otherwise wash load items
