Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a rinse product receptacle for a domestic dishwasher and a domestic dishwasher having such a rinse product receptacle. Background Art

[0002] A dishwasher has a rinse product container in which rinse products can be accommodated. To accommodate the rinse products, the rinse container may include a rinse product container, such as a lower basket, an upper basket, and / or a cutlery drawer. To support the rinse products contained therein, the rinse product container may include so-called flip pins that can be flipped from a folded position to an open position. To identify the flip pins for the user, a marking element, for example, in the form of a cover made of elastically deformable plastic, may be provided on the flip pins.

[0003] EP 0 661 019 A1 discloses a rinse product container for a dishwasher, which comprises a tilting pin strip, wherein a cover made of plastic or rubber is provided on the pin strip as a marking element. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Against this background, the object of the present invention is to provide an improved rinse product receptacle for a domestic dishwasher.

[0005] Accordingly, a rinse product receptacle for a domestic dishwasher is proposed. The rinse product receptacle comprises a rinse product basket for receiving rinse product, a support device movably mounted on the rinse product basket for supporting the rinse product, and a marking device, wherein the support device comprises a plurality of support elements, and the marking device is attached to at least one of the support elements, wherein the marking device comprises a bushing element for accommodating at least one support element and a sleeve element for accommodating the bushing element.

[0006] By making the marking device two-part and comprising a bushing element and a sleeve element, a multi-part design of the marking device is achieved. This multi-part design allows the use of hard, and therefore alkali-resistant, plastic for the bushing element and the support element. As a result, the marking device maintains its desired functionality throughout the entire life of the flushing product receptacle. Furthermore, the two-part design reduces the installation forces, thereby preventing damage to the coating provided on the support element.

[0007] The rinse basket can be, for example, the upper or lower basket of a domestic dishwasher. Preferably, the rinse basket is box-shaped and comprises a bottom, two opposing side walls, a front wall, and a rear wall opposite the front wall. The rinse basket is preferably constructed from a plurality of interconnected metal wires, particularly steel wires. The steel wires are preferably coated with plastic. For example, the rinse basket can be powder-coated. Alternatively, the rinse basket can be made of plastic. In this case, the rinse basket can be an injection-molded part.

[0008] Preferably, the support device is a pin strip, in particular a tilting pin strip. The support element is preferably a pin of a tilting pin strip or a tilting pin. "Movable" mounting of the support device on the wash basket can mean that the support device is mounted on the wash basket so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation. However, the support device can also be mounted on the wash basket so as to be linearly movable.

[0009] The marking device can also be referred to as a touch point. It is suitable for indicating to the user that the support element forms a movable part of the rinse product receptacle. This can be achieved, for example, by having the marking device have a distinct color that stands out against the color of the rinse product basket. In other words, the user can grasp the marking device with two fingers, for example, and use it to move, in particular, pivot, the support device. Therefore, the marking device can also be referred to as an operating device. In particular, the marking device can also be referred to as a marking and operating device.

[0010] Preferably, the marking device is cylindrical. The marking device can be constructed rotationally symmetrically with respect to the axis of symmetry. Preferably, exactly one support element of the support device has such a marking device. However, the support element can also include a plurality of marking devices. The bushing element and the sleeve element are two separate components. That is to say, the marking device is multi-piece, in particular two-piece. The bushing element and the sleeve element are preferably plastic components, in particular injection-molded components. Preferably, an alkali-resistant plastic is used as the material for the bushing element and the sleeve element, for example polyoxymethylene (POM). However, other suitable plastics can also be used.

[0011] The sleeve element is external. The bushing element is internal. In other words, the bushing element is housed in the sleeve element. For example, the sleeve element can have a different color than the bushing element. Preferably, the sleeve element has a distinct color. For example, the sleeve element can be red, green, blue, or a similar color. In particular, the color can be a signal color. The marking device, in particular the sleeve element, preferably has a different color than the rinse basket. The marking device can also have the same color as the rinse basket. For example, the marking device is dark gray, and the rinse basket can also be dark gray.

[0012] In this context, the phrase "a bushing element accommodates at least one supporting element" means that the supporting element is at least partially guided through the bushing element. The bushing element can thereby contact the supporting element. In this context, the phrase "a sleeve element accommodates" a bushing element means that the bushing element is at least partially arranged within the sleeve element. This means that the sleeve element is hollow and includes a receiving area for accommodating the bushing element. Preferably, the bushing element is tubular and has a recess in which the supporting element is accommodated or guided through.

[0013] According to one embodiment, the bushing element surrounds the head section of the at least one support element in a form-fitting manner.

[0014] Preferably, the supporting element comprises a base segment in the form of a wire, on the end side of which a head segment is arranged. The base segment and the head segment are preferably designed as a one-piece, in particular as a single piece. "One-piece" or "one-piece" in the present case means that the head segment and the base segment form a unit and do not consist of separate parts or elements. "Single piece" in the present case means that the head segment and the base segment are continuously made of the same material, for example steel. Preferably, the head segment has a spherical or at least partially spherical geometry. The form-fitting connection is produced by the meshing or rear meshing of two connecting parts, in the present case the bushing element and the head segment.

[0015] According to another embodiment, the bushing element and the sleeve element engage in a form-fitting manner.

[0016] The bushing element is thereby fixed to the sleeve element in a manner which prevents it from being disengaged. For example, the marking device can have a pre-assembled state or an unlocked state, in which the bushing element and the sleeve element are plugged into each other and engage in a form-fitting manner. This pre-assembled state can be automatically generated.

[0017] According to another embodiment, the marking device transitions from an unlocked state to a locked state by means of the insertion of the bushing element into the sleeve element, the first engaging section of the sleeve element and the mating engaging section of the bushing element are engaged in a form-fitting manner in the unlocked state, and the second engaging section of the sleeve element and the mating engaging section are engaged in a form-fitting manner in the locked state.

[0018] The unlocked state can also be referred to as a pre-assembled state. Preferably, the first meshing section and the second meshing section are configured as an annular groove arranged at the accommodating area of ​​the sleeve element. On the contrary, the mating meshing section is preferably configured as a protrusion that annularly surrounds the bushing element. Alternatively, the first meshing section and the second meshing section can be configured as a protrusion that is located at the accommodating area of ​​the sleeve element. In this case, the mating meshing section is preferably configured as a groove, particularly an annular groove, that annularly surrounds the bushing element. In particular, the marking device transitions from the unlocked state to the locked state by squeezing or pressing the bushing element into the sleeve element.

[0019] According to another embodiment, the first toothing section and the second toothing section are arranged spaced apart from one another, viewed along the axis of symmetry of the sleeve element.

[0020] The sleeve element is particularly designed to be essentially rotationally symmetrical with respect to the axis of symmetry. The bushing element also has an axis of symmetry and is designed to be essentially rotationally symmetrical with respect to the axis of symmetry. In the unlocked state and the locked state, the axis of symmetry of the sleeve and the axis of symmetry of the bushing element are coaxially positioned with respect to each other.

[0021] According to another embodiment, the bushing element has a spring-elastically deformable web section, which in the unlocked state performs a transfer movement away from the at least one support element when the marking device is translated onto the at least one support element, wherein the sleeve element blocks the transfer movement in the locked state.

[0022] The number of tab segments is arbitrary. For example, two, three or four tab segments are provided. Particularly preferably, exactly two tab segments are provided. An intermediate cavity is provided between the tab segments, so that an intermediate cavity is provided between the two tab segments and a tab segment is provided between the two intermediate cavities. When the marking device is pushed onto the support element, the tab segment is deformed radially outwards away from the axis of symmetry of the bushing element, while the head segment of the support element is guided through the tab segment on the inside. As long as the head segment is guided through the tab segment, it engages with the head segment at the rear in a form-fitting manner. As long as the marking device is in the unlocked state, the marking device can be removed from the support element again. In the locked state, the sleeve element locks the radial transfer movement of the tab segment, so that the marking device can no longer be removed from the support element in the locked state, in particular no longer be removed non-destructively.

[0023] According to another embodiment, the sleeve element has a receiving area, in which the bushing element is at least partially received, wherein the receiving area has a first receiving section for receiving the web section in the unlocked state and a second receiving section for receiving the web section in the locked state, and wherein the second receiving section locks the transfer movement.

[0024] In particular, the tab section bears against the second receiving section in the locked state. The second receiving section and the first receiving section can both be cylindrical. The tab section can also have at least partially a cylindrical geometry, being arranged in the second receiving section in the locked state and in the first receiving section in the unlocked state.

[0025] According to a further embodiment, the first receiving section has a first diameter, wherein the second receiving section has a second diameter, and wherein the first diameter is greater than the second diameter.

[0026] Preferably, the bushing element has a diameter slightly smaller than the first diameter on the base section. On the tab section, the bushing element has a diameter slightly smaller than the second diameter, so that the tab section can be accommodated in the second receiving section and the transfer movement of the tab section is prohibited in the locked state. Each tab section has a first lower section and a second lower section connected thereto. In particular, all the first lower sections of the tab sections together form a conical or truncated cone-shaped geometry. All the second lower sections of the tab sections together form a cylindrical geometry. In the locked state, the second lower sections of the tab sections are accommodated in the second receiving section of the receiving area of ​​the sleeve element.

[0027] According to a further embodiment, the bushing element has a spring-like, elastically deformable clamping section which bears against the at least one supporting element when the marking device transitions from the unlocked state into the locked state.

[0028] In particular, the clamping section rests against the base section of the support element and clamps it into the marking device. This ensures that the marking device is fixed to the support element without gaps. The number of clamping sections is arbitrary. For example, two, three, or four such clamping sections can be provided. The clamping sections are evenly distributed around the axis of symmetry of the bushing element.

[0029] According to a further embodiment, the bushing element has a base section which is penetrated by windows, wherein a clamping section is arranged in each window.

[0030] Preferably, the base section is tubular. The base section is rotationally symmetrical with respect to the axis of symmetry of the bushing element. The windows form recesses in the base section. The windows are, for example, rectangular. Each window has such a clamping section.

[0031] According to another embodiment, the clamping section is wedge-shaped in cross section.

[0032] Thus, when the marking device transitions from the unlocked state to the locked state, the clamping section slides down on the inside at the receiving area of ​​the sleeve element and moves in the direction of the axis of symmetry of the bushing element or in the direction of the support element and clamps it in the marking device.

[0033] According to a further preferred embodiment, the supporting device comprises a base element, on which the supporting element is attached, wherein the base element is movably mounted on the wash product basket.

[0034] In particular, the base element is a metal wire, preferably a steel wire. The support element is also constructed as a metal wire, preferably a steel wire. For example, the support element is welded to the support device. The support device is plastic-coated, in particular powder-coated. As mentioned above, the support device is or can be referred to as a pin header or a flip pin header. However, the support device can also be a plastic component.

[0035] According to a further embodiment, the supporting device is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the rinse product basket.

[0036] For this reason, suitable supporting positions can be provided at the bottom.Yet the supporting device can also be rotatably supported on the side walls or rotatably supported on the front wall and the rear wall of the washing basket.

[0037] According to another embodiment, the support device can be transferred from a folded state to an unfolded state and vice versa, the support element being arranged parallel to the base in the folded state and perpendicular to the base in the unfolded state.

[0038] The support element transitions from the folded state to the unfolded state and conversely can be realized as follows, that is, the support device engages and pivots at its support element. Alternatively, the support device can also engage and pivot at the marking device as mentioned above.

[0039] Furthermore, a domestic dishwasher is proposed, which comprises a rinsing container and at least one such rinse product receptacle accommodated in the rinsing container.

[0040] A domestic dishwasher can have multiple such rinse product containers. For example, a lower basket, an upper basket, and a cutlery drawer can be provided in the rinse container. The rinse product container can be moved out of or into the rinse container. For this purpose, guides, in particular so-called telescopic rails, can be provided.

[0041] Other possible concepts of the rinse product container and / or the domestic dishwasher include combinations of features or embodiments described previously or later in connection with the exemplary embodiments, which have not been described in detail above. A person skilled in the art would also add these concepts as improvements or supplements to the corresponding basic design of the rinse product container and / or the domestic dishwasher.

The rinsing container 2 has a bottom 7, a cover 8 opposite the bottom 7, a rear wall 9 opposite the closed door 3, and two opposite side walls 10, 11. The bottom 7, cover 8, rear wall 9, and side walls 10, 11 can be made, for example, of sheet metal. Alternatively, the bottom 7 can be made of plastic, for example.

[0055] The domestic dishwasher 1 further comprises at least one rinse product container 12 to 14. Preferably, a plurality of rinse product containers 12 to 14, for example three, can be provided, wherein the rinse product container 12 can be a lower rinse product container or a lower basket, the rinse product container 13 can be an upper rinse product container or an upper basket, and the rinse product container 14 can be a cutlery drawer. Figure 1 As shown, the rinse material receptacles 12 to 14 are arranged one above the other in the rinsing container 2. Each rinse material receptacle 12 to 14 can be optionally moved into or out of the rinsing container 2. In particular, each rinse material receptacle 12 to 14 can be inserted into or into the rinsing container 2 in an insertion direction E (arrow) and can be withdrawn or removed from the rinsing container 2 in a withdrawal direction A (arrow) opposite to the insertion direction E (arrow).

[0056] Figure 3 A detail of an embodiment of the aforementioned flushing product receptacle 12 is shown. Figure 3 Shown according to Figure 2 The following is a partial diagram of III. Figure 2 and Figure 3 .

[0057] The rinse product containers 12 to 14 can be constructed identically. Therefore, only the rinse product container 12 will be described below. The rinse product container 12 includes a rinse product basket 15. The rinse product basket 15 is box-shaped and comprises a grid-like rear wall 16, a front wall (not shown) arranged parallel to the rear wall 16 and spaced apart therefrom, and two opposite and spaced-apart front walls. Figure 2 Only one side wall 17 is shown, as well as a bottom 18 delimiting the rinse basket 15 downwards.

[0058] The rear wall 16, the front wall, the side walls 17, and the bottom 18 are designed in a grid-like manner and can be composed of a plurality of interconnected, in particular welded, metal wires. The rinse basket 15 can, for example, be composed of steel wires that are firmly connected to one another and are coated with plastic, for example. Alternatively, the rinse basket 15 can also be made of plastic.

[0059] A rotatably mounted pulley 19 can be provided on the side wall 17, by means of which the rinse product container 12 can be moved out in the withdrawal direction A (arrow) and back into the rinsing container 2 in the insertion direction E (arrow) opposite to the withdrawal direction A (arrow). The pulley 19 can be part of a guide device for guiding the rinse product container 12 in or on the rinsing container 2. In particular, the guide device can be a telescopic rail. Such a guide device is provided on each of the two opposing side walls 10, 11 of the rinsing container 2.

[0060] In addition to the wash basket 15, the wash receptacle 12 also includes a support device 20 for supporting the wash items contained in the wash basket 15. Here, the support element 20 is movably supported on the wash basket 15. In particular, the support device 20 is a pin header or a tilt pin header. The support device 20 includes a base element 21 in the form of a wire and a plurality of support elements 22 to 24 in the form of wires, wherein the base element 21 is a base element 21 in the form of a wire and a plurality of support elements 22 to 24 in the form of wires. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Only two of them are provided with reference numerals. In particular, the support elements 22 to 24 are pin headers or flip pin headers.

[0061] The support elements 22 to 24 are fixedly connected to the base element 21. For example, the support elements 22 to 24 are welded to the base element 21. The base element 21 and the support elements 22 to 24 can be configured as welded wires. In this case, the support device 20 has a plastic coating, in particular a powder coating. Alternatively, the support device 20 can also be a plastic component, in particular an injection-molded component. The support elements 22 to 24 are arranged at an angle of inclination α to the base element 21. The angle of inclination α can be, for example, 60° to 80°.

[0062] The support device 20 is supported rotatably about a rotation axis 25 on the wash basket 15, in particular on the bottom 18 of the wash basket 15. The support device 20 can be transferred from a folded state (not shown) in which the support elements 22 to 24 are arranged parallel to the bottom 18 to a folded state. Figure 2 The folded-out state is shown in which the support elements 22 to 24 are arranged perpendicular to the base 18 .

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, each support element 22 to 24 has a base segment 26 in the form of a wire, with a head segment 27 provided on its end facing away from the base element 21. The head segment 27 can be spherical or at least partially have a spherical geometry. In particular, the diameter of the head segment 27 is larger than the diameter of the base segment 26. The base segment 26 and the head segment 27 can be connected to each other in one piece, in particular, integrally. "One piece" or "integral" means that the base segment 26 and the head segment 27 form a single component and are not composed of multiple separable parts or elements. "Integral" in this case means that the base segment 26 and the head segment 27 are continuously made of the same material. For example, the head segment 27 is welded to the base segment 26.

[0064] In order to indicate to the user that the support device 20 is a component that is movable relative to the rinse basket 15, a marking device 28 is provided on the support device 20. In particular, the marking device 28 accommodates at least a portion of the head segment 27 and the base segment 26 of one of the support elements 22 to 24. The support device 20 can also be equipped with a plurality of such marking devices 28.

[0065] The marking device 28 can also be referred to as a display device or a contact point. Preferably, the marking device 28 has a different color than the support device 20, so that the marking device 28 can be easily identified. Specifically, the signal color can be, for example, red, green, or blue. The marking device 28 can also be multicolored. The marking device 28 can also be used to operate the support device 20. For example, a user can grasp the marking device 28 with two fingers and move the support device 20 from the folded state to the unfolded state, and vice versa. Therefore, the marking device 28 can also be referred to as an operating device or a marking and operating device.

[0066] The marking device 28 includes Figure 4 The sleeve element 29 is shown. The sleeve element 29 is made of plastic. Preferably, the sleeve element 29 is made of an alkali-resistant plastic. In other words, the plastic is not damaged by the rinsing liquid floating in the rinsing container 2. In this context, "rinsing liquid" can be understood to mean water, cleaning agents dissolved in water, and / or dirt particles dislodged from the rinsing material. For example, the sleeve element 29 is made of polyoxymethylene (POM). Other suitable plastics can also be used. The sleeve element 29 can be an injection molded part.

[0067] The sleeve element 29 is cylindrical and is designed rotationally symmetrically with respect to a center axis or axis of symmetry 30. The sleeve element 29 comprises a cylindrical base section 31 and a Figure 4 The cover section 32 of the sleeve element 29 is closed on the upper side in the orientation of the sleeve element 29. The user can grasp the marking device 28 on the base section 31. The sleeve element 29 is hollow and includes a receiving area 33 passing through the base section 31 to receive one of the support elements 22 to 24.

[0068] The receiving area 33 includes a guide bevel 34 that is rotationally symmetrical about the axis of symmetry 30. Adjoining the guide bevel 34 is a first receiving section 25 in the form of a cylindrical inner surface that is rotationally symmetrical about the axis of symmetry. The first receiving section 35 is interrupted by a first meshing section 36 and a second meshing section 37. The meshing sections 36, 37 are spaced apart from one another as viewed along the axis of symmetry 30. The meshing sections 36, 37 are designed as annular grooves that are arranged on the receiving area 33 and rotated about the axis of symmetry 30.

[0069] The receiving section 35 is adjoined by a chamfer 38 which transitions into a second receiving section 39 in the form of a cylindrical inner surface of the receiving area 33, which is designed rotationally symmetrically with respect to the axis of symmetry 30. The receiving area 33 has a diameter d35 at the first receiving section 35. The receiving area 33 has a diameter d39 at the second receiving section 39. In this case, the diameter d35 is greater than the diameter d39. The cover section 32 is Figure 4 In the orientation of , the receiving area 33 is closed at the end.

[0070] Furthermore, the marking device 28 comprises Figure 5 The bushing element 40 shown can be accommodated in the sleeve element 29. The bushing element 40 is made of an alkali-resistant plastic, in particular POM. The bushing element 40 is an injection-molded part. The bushing element 40 is essentially rotationally symmetrical with respect to the center axis or axis of symmetry 41.

[0071] The bushing element 40 is designed to be tubular. The bushing element 40 includes a central notch 42 through which one of the support elements 22 to 24 can pass. The notch 42 is arranged at a base section 43 that is cylindrical and rotationally symmetrical with respect to the axis of symmetry 41 and passes through the base section. A mating engagement section 44 is provided on the outside of the base section 43, which rotates annularly around the bushing element 40 and is arranged to engage in a form-fitting manner in one of the two engagement sections 36, 37 of the sleeve element 29. The form-fit connection is produced by the meshing or rear meshing of at least two connecting parts, in this case the mating engagement section 44 and the engagement sections 36, 37.

[0072] The base section 43 has a diameter d43 that is slightly smaller than the diameter d35 of the sleeve element 29 . This means that the base section 43 can be accommodated in the first receiving section 35 of the receiving area 33 of the sleeve element 29 . The base section 43 is penetrated by a plurality of windows 45 , 46 . The number of windows 45 , 46 is arbitrary. For example, three or four such windows 45 , 46 may be provided. The windows 45 , 46 are evenly distributed around the axis of symmetry 41 .

[0073] A clamping section 47, 48 is assigned to each window 45, 46. The number of clamping sections 47, 48 corresponds to the number of windows 45, 46. The clamping sections 47, 48 are wedge-shaped and project beyond the base section 43 radially, i.e., perpendicularly to the axis of symmetry 41. The clamping sections 47, 48 are integrally connected to the base section 43, in particular, integrally. The clamping sections 47, 48 are elastically deformable in a spring-like manner, so that they can be moved into the recess 42 in the direction of the axis of symmetry 41. The clamping sections 47, 48 have a wedge-shaped cross section.

[0074] A plurality of web sections 49, 50 are connected to the base section 43. The number of web sections 49, 50 is arbitrary. For example, three or four web sections 49, 50 can be provided, evenly spaced from one another and distributed around the axis of symmetry 41. An intermediate space 51 is provided between two adjacent web sections 49, 50. The web sections 49, 50 and the intermediate space 51 are arranged such that the intermediate space 51 is located between two web sections 49, 50, and the web sections 49, 50 are located between two intermediate spaces 51.

[0075] Each tab segment 49 , 50 is spring-elastically deformable, allowing the corresponding tab segment 49 , 50 to elastically deform radially outward from the axis of symmetry 41 . Each tab segment 49 , 50 includes a first lower segment 52 and a second lower segment 53 connected to the first lower segment 52 . This "elastic" or "spring-elastic" deformation is reversible. That is, the tab segments 49 , 50 can be deformed by applying a force. If the force is no longer applied, the tab segments 49 , 50 automatically deform back to their undeformed initial state.

[0076] All first lower sections 52 of the web sections 49 , 50 together form a conical or frustoconical geometry having a diameter d53 . The diameter d53 is slightly smaller than the diameter d39 of the second receiving section 39 of the sleeve element 29 . This means that the second receiving section 39 of the web sections 49 , 50 can be received in the second receiving section 39 of the receiving region 33 of the sleeve element 29 .

[0077] A chamfer 54 is provided on the second lower section 53 about the axis of symmetry 41 . Figure 5 The flange section 55 is connected to the base section 43 on the lower side in the orientation of . The flange section 55 is annular and has a diameter that is larger than the diameter 43 of the base section 43.

[0078] Figure 6 The marking device 26 is shown in the pre-assembled or unlocked state. To transition the marking device 28 to the unlocked state Z1, the bushing element 40 is moved along the axis of symmetry 30 into the receiving area 33 of the sleeve element 29. In particular, the bushing element 40 is moved into the sleeve element 29 in an installation direction M (arrow) that is aligned along or parallel to the axes of symmetry 30, 41. The axes of symmetry 30, 41 are arranged coaxially with each other. When the bushing element 40 is moved into the sleeve element 29, the mating engagement section 44 of the bushing element 40 engages in a form-fitting manner in the first engagement section 36 of the sleeve element 29.

[0079] This unlocked state Z1 of the marking device 28 can be produced, for example, immediately after the sleeve element 29 of the bushing element 40 has been removed from the injection molding tool by inserting the sleeve element 29 and the bushing element 40 into one another. This pre-assembly can be performed automatically. Thus, the bushing element 40 can be connected to the sleeve element 29 in an unfastened state without being disengaged.

[0080] Figure 7 and Figure 8 The mounting of the marking device 28 on the support element 22 is shown. Figure 7As shown, the support element 22 is introduced into the marking device 28 in the installation direction M (arrow), or the marking device is plugged onto the support element 22 opposite to the installation direction M (arrow). In this case, the head section 27 of the support element 22 is inserted through the recess 42 of the bushing element 40, wherein the web sections 49, 50 are elastically deformed radially outward from the axes of symmetry 30, 41.

[0081] Here, the tab sections 49, 50 are arranged in the first receiving section 35 of the receiving area 33 so that they can be deformed outward in the direction of the first receiving section 35 without contacting it. The first engagement section 36 and the counter-engagement section 44 engage in a positive-locking manner as before. The support element 22 is guided into the marking device 28 until its inner side abuts against the cover section 32 of the sleeve element 29.

[0082] Subsequently, the marking device 28 is Figure 7 The unlocked state Z1 shown transitions to Figure 8 The locked state Z2 is shown. To this end, the bushing element 40 is moved further into the sleeve element 29 along the axes of symmetry 30, 41 or in the installation direction M (arrow), so that the second engagement section 37 engages with the counter-engagement section 44 in a form-fitting manner. To this end, the bushing element 40 is pressed into the sleeve element 29, for example, on the flange section 55. The clamping sections 47, 48 slide onto the inside of the first receiving section 35 of the receiving area 33 and are elastically deformed radially inward in a spring-like manner in the direction of the base section 26 of the support element 22 until they contact the base section 26 (not shown).

[0083] At the same time, the tab sections 49, 50 also move into the receiving area 33 until the tab sections 49, 50, in particular the second lower sections of the tab sections 49, 50, abut against or are received in the second receiving section 39 of the receiving area 33. Since the second receiving section 39 has a smaller diameter d39 than the first receiving section 35, the tab sections 49, 50 can no longer be deformed radially outward from the support element 22, and thus the head section 27 of the support element 22 can no longer be withdrawn from the marking device 28. The tab sections 49, 50 thus surround the head section 27 in a form-fitting manner.

[0084] Thus, the marking device 28 can be connected to the support element 22 in a non-detachable manner in the locked state Z2. The marking device 28 can also be removed from the support element 22 simply by destroying it. Here, the clamping sections 47, 48 are supported on the base section 26 of the support element 22 and clamp it between them, so that the support element 22 is accommodated in the marking device 28 without any gaps and cannot tilt.

[0085] Since the marking device 28 is two-part and has a sleeve element 29 and a bushing element 40, it is possible to use a hard material that is resistant to washing alkalis, such as POM, to produce the marking device 28. Compared to soft materials such as thermoplastic rubber (TPE), in particular thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber (TPU), the marking device 28 has an improved retention and an increased holding force based on the plastic used and can no longer be removed from the support element 22 with a high expenditure of force.

[0086] Only low installation forces are required to install the marking device 28 , so that there is less risk of damaging the coating on the support element 22 . Furthermore, the marking device 28 can be preassembled and installed automatically.

[0087] Although the present invention has been described based on the embodiments, the present invention can be modified in many ways.
