Benefits of technology

The present invention is a dishwasher with a device to prevent bowls from slipping during use. The device is attached to a dish rack and can be easily detached. This invention solves the problem of utensils slipping during use in the kitchen.

Problems solved by technology

However, in washing mode, the kitchen utensils placed on the tines easily slip to the bottom surface of the dish rack since the tines are inclined.
Further, if the kitchen utensils slip to the bottom surface of the dish rack from the tines, the kitchen utensils are not cleanly washed since they are placed upside-down on the flat bottom surface of the dish rack.

first embodiment

[0026]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a dish rack with a slip-preventing device according to the present invention.

[0027] Referring to FIG. 1, a dish rack 100 includes an outer frame 110 forming the exterior of the dish rack 100, and an accommodation frame 120 coupled to the outer frame 110 for forming a bottom portion of the dish rack 100.

[0028] The accommodation frame 120 is bent into a U-shape and supports kitchen utensils placed on the dish rack 100.

[0029] In detail, the accommodation frame 120 includes bent portions 122 bent at a predetermined angle and coupled to the outer frame 110, and bottom portions 121 forming a lower portion of the dish rack 100.

[0030] A rack grip 130 is formed on one side of the outer frame 110. A user can easily pull and push the dish rack 100 using the rack grip 130.

[0031] A slip-preventing device 200 (three are shown) may be mounted on the accommodation frame 120. That is, the slip-preventing device 200 may be mounted on the bottom portions 121 o...

second embodiment

[0061] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the slip-preventing device 400 of the second embodiment is formed of a rubber material, such that kitchen utensils can be prevented from slipping.

[0062] In detail, the slip-preventing device 400 is formed into a rectangular shape and includes one or more tine inserting grooves 410 for coupling with the tines 140. The slip-preventing device 400 can be detachably coupled to the tines 140 by the tine inserting grooves 410.

[0063] The slip-preventing device 400 further includes drain holes 420. Therefore, washing liquid falling from kitchen utensils can be easily drained through the drain holes 420.

[0064] In detail, the slip-preventing device 400 may be formed into a pad-shape using rubber or plastic by injection molding. Further, the slip-preventing device 400 may include an inner frame such as a rigid body. In this case, the slip-preventing device 400 may be formed by injecting a rubber material around the inner frame by insert molding.
