Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a dish rack, particularly a bottom rack insert, for a dishwasher, especially a household dishwasher. Furthermore, this invention relates to dish racks, particularly bottom racks, for dishwashers, especially household dishwashers, and to dishwashers, particularly household dishwashers. Background Technology

[0002] Cutlery racks on the market, especially bottom racks, typically have multiple areas, each with two parallel pin rows. The pin rows are primarily designed to receive plates of various sizes. Glassware or ceramic cups can only be placed unsatisfactorily here. Small items can fall or pass through the underside of the rack and, in the worst case, clog the rinsing mechanism, especially the lower rinsing arm.

[0003] Furthermore, it is known that the foldable pin array can be installed in an inclined position to allow for the receipt of glass and ceramic cups. This is typically only possible in high-value cutlery racks, and means that plates cannot be placed at that pin array location.

[0004] Publication EP 2 377 455 A1 discloses a rinsing rack, particularly a bottom rack, for a dishwasher having multiple coils arranged sequentially in the filling direction of the dishwasher, each extending at least approximately across its entire width in the width direction of the rinsing rack. Each coil is configured to be bent multiple times and is integrated at its end into a needle extending in the vertical direction of the dishwasher. The rinse material receiving portion can have two bent arrangements designed to be spaced apart from each other, wherein the bent arrangements of the two coils arranged sequentially in the filling direction form a corresponding rinse material receiving portion therebetween. Furthermore, another bent arrangement of the two coils arranged sequentially in the filling direction can form a corresponding additional rinse material receiving portion therebetween.

[0005] Publication WO 2019 / 002930 A1 discloses a support for a washing machine, particularly a dishwasher, wherein the support has a shape that corresponds to the shape of the container to be rinsed, and includes a plurality of longitudinal lines and a plurality of transverse lines that are interconnected and arranged and shaped in a suitable manner to define at least one receiving cavity capable of receiving at least one dish, and includes at least one outer wall and at least one bottom defined by the longitudinal and transverse lines, wherein the bottom is substantially perpendicular to the outer wall and can be divided into at least three regions: at least one central region and at least two side regions, the side regions being substantially symmetrical about the central region. The arrangement of the longitudinal lines includes at least two support points for each dish, which are placed in the receiving cavity and must be provided and designed so that when one or more longitudinal lines are not in contact with the dish, they do not impede the proper positioning and placement of the dish in the receiving cavity.

[0006] Publication DE 10 2016 208 112 A1 discloses a cutlery rack for receiving rinsed items, particularly multiple different plates, having an open bottom surface comprising multiple spaced longitudinal lines, wherein the longitudinal lines form an open and preferably nearly horizontally oriented bottom surface, particularly a plane, and having an open receiving surface comprising multiple spaced transverse lines extending at an angle to the longitudinal lines, particularly perpendicular or nearly perpendicular, and preferably connecting the longitudinal lines on the upper side, wherein the open receiving surface extends at an angle to the open bottom surface. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Against this background, the object of the present invention is to provide a rack insert for a dish rack, particularly a bottom rack, in a dishwasher, especially a household dishwasher, which enables optimized utilization of the rinsing chamber provided by the dishwasher, particularly a household dishwasher. The rack insert for a dish rack, particularly a bottom rack, according to the present invention should be able to simultaneously receive very different items to be rinsed, such as plates, ceramic cups, glasses, pots, and the like.

[0008] To achieve the objectives of the invention, a rack insert for a dish rack, particularly a bottom rack, of a dishwasher, is provided. The rack insert has a plurality of spaced-apart coils, each coil being arranged with multiple bends and having a coil extension. The rack insert also has a plurality of connecting wires that connect the coils multiple times along the coil extensions. The rack insert according to the invention has multiple differently designed areas along the coil extensions for receiving different items to be rinsed, particularly different tableware such as plates, ceramic cups, glasses, pots, and the like.

[0009] Based on this design of the rack insert according to the invention, cutlery racks for various loading components can be used in areas designated for this design, without requiring the user to match the area, for example, by folding a pin. The advantage of this design also lies in the fact that, for example, plates and ceramic cups can be placed adjacent to each other simultaneously, and the provided rinsing chamber can be used flexibly.

[0010] The distribution of the coils can be changed at least once along the length of the connecting line, i.e., the depth direction, or the direction of movement of the cutlery rack. Therefore, for example, it is possible to design a configuration with a smaller half for receiving flat plates and a larger half for receiving deeper plates. The smaller half of the coils also allows for the placement of smaller rinsing items without them extending through the underside of the rack insert and / or cutlery rack according to the invention, and, where possible, obstructing the rotation of the lower rinsing arm.

[0011] Alternatively, the rear area can also be implemented using the same portion across the entire width.

[0012] Specifically, the dish rack can be a bottom rack, and correspondingly, the dishwasher can be a household dishwasher.

[0013] It is possible to set at least three different areas along the coil extension for receiving different rinsing materials, particularly the left area, the middle area and the right area.

[0014] The setup of multiple distinct zones allows for the safe and problem-free reception of different flushing materials.

[0015] A first and left region can be provided between a first connecting line and another, particularly a second connecting line, and the first and left regions are particularly suitable for receiving glass cups and / or ceramic cups; a second and middle region is provided at least between another, particularly a second connecting line and another, particularly a fourth connecting line and is particularly suitable for receiving plates of various sizes; and a third and right region is provided at least between another, particularly a fourth connecting line and another, particularly a seventh connecting line and is also particularly suitable for receiving glass cups and / or ceramic cups.

[0016] In the first and left regions of the holder insert according to the invention, glass cups and / or ceramic cups can be securely abutted against the side wall of the cutlery rack, particularly the bottom rack. Furthermore, this region can be raised slightly to create space below for different contents to be placed in and / or on the bottom of the container. It is also apparent that this region can be lowered even without such contents in and / or on the bottom of the container.

[0017] In the second and intermediate regions of the holder insert according to the invention, additional raised portions are provided to outline the contours of the pin array arranged on an additional, particularly fourth connecting line, and for a safe position to receive the rinsed material. Specifically, the received rinsed material is a plate.

[0018] Furthermore, in the third and right regions of the holder insert according to the invention, it is possible, for example, to abut against the pin array in the second and middle regions on the other side.

[0019] Between each coil extension having at least one embossed protrusion, an additional, particularly a second connecting line, can be provided in the second intermediate region.

[0020] At least one protrusion, imprinted between each coil, having a suitable profile such as wavy, triangular, rectangular, and / or polygonal, significantly improves the placement stability of the received rinsed item, at least not due to the shape fit achieved by using a smaller number of abutment points. Therefore, the received rinsed item can no longer slide laterally on the rear side. In particular, the received rinsed item can be a plate.

[0021] Alternatively or additionally, the second intermediate region, particularly the second connecting line, mainly and particularly has a completely straight extension, i.e., without any protrusions.

[0022] Additional, particularly a fourth connecting line, is provided between each of the coil extensions having at least one needle, in the form of a second intermediate region, wherein the corresponding needle is oriented relative to the vertical line at an angle range of + / -25°, preferably + / -20°, and particularly + / -15°.

[0023] As part of a needle array, such a positioned needle can, as already explained, contribute to the secure positioning of the received rinse material. The needle array can be implemented as both rigid and foldable. The set angle range particularly advantageously affects the received rinse material and practical applicability. In particular, the received rinse material can be a plate.

[0024] The corresponding needle can have a needle length in the range of 30mm to 110mm, preferably 40mm to 100mm, especially 50mm to 90mm, and / or an orientation angle in the range of 45° to 90°, preferably 50° to 85°, especially 60° and 80° relative to its other, especially fourth connecting line.

[0025] These two possible characteristics of the needle, the needle length, and the orientation angle also contribute to the secure positioning of the received rinse material. In particular, the received rinse material can be a plate.

[0026] The second intermediate region and the corresponding needles, particularly the second connecting line, can have a horizontal spacing in the range of 80mm to 125mm, preferably 100mm to 120mm, particularly 110mm to 115mm, and / or a vertical spacing in the range of -5mm to 30mm, preferably 0mm to 20mm, particularly 0mm to 15mm or 0mm to 10mm. A negative vertical spacing indicates that the corresponding needle is arranged vertically below the second intermediate region, particularly the second connecting line. Conversely, a positive vertical spacing indicates that the corresponding needle is arranged vertically above the second intermediate region, particularly the second connecting line.

[0027] Furthermore, these two possible geometric characteristics, the horizontal spacing and the vertical spacing, also contribute to the secure positioning of the received rinsed item. In particular, the received rinsed item can be a plate.

[0028] Additionally, particularly the second connecting line and the third connecting line can have a horizontal spacing in the range of 60mm to 100mm, preferably 70mm to 90mm, particularly 75mm to 85mm, or in the range of 40mm to 90mm, preferably 50mm to 80mm, particularly 55mm to 75mm, and / or a vertical spacing in the range of 10mm to 40mm, preferably 15mm to 35mm, particularly 15mm to 25mm or 20mm to 30mm.

[0029] Therefore, optimized position and orientation of the received rinse material in the second and intermediate regions of the rack insert according to the invention can be easily and consistently ensured. The received rinse material penetrates deeply enough into the rack insert according to the invention and also achieves sufficient positional stability. In particular, the received rinse material can be a plate.

[0030] Between the other, particularly the fifth connecting line and the other, particularly the sixth connecting line, steps with an inclination of 6° to 40°, preferably 8° to 35°, particularly 10° and 30° or 15° to 35° relative to the horizontal line, and / or with a horizontal length of 30mm to 100mm, preferably 40mm to 90mm, particularly 45mm to 85mm or 40mm to 60mm can be arranged.

[0031] The received rinse material, particularly glass and / or ceramic cups, can be safely rested against the needle array in the second and intermediate areas. In particular, the received rinse material can be a plate.

[0032] According to another aspect of the invention, a dish rack, particularly a bottom rack, is provided for a dishwasher, especially a household dishwasher. The dish rack is movable into the rinsing container along a guide in the insertion direction or movable out of the rinsing container in the opposite direction to the insertion direction. The dish rack has longitudinal and transverse elements, wherein the longitudinal element extends in the insertion direction of the dish rack, particularly the bottom rack, and wherein the transverse element is arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal element. The longitudinal and transverse elements form a rack base, and the dishwasher is equipped with at least one rack insert according to the invention.

[0033] The advantages of the rack insert according to the invention can be transferred to the cutlery rack, especially the bottom rack, when it is similarly introduced into the cutlery rack. Therefore, the arrangement of the rack insert according to the invention in the cutlery rack, especially the bottom rack, allows for the safe and problem-free reception of different rinses.

[0034] The rack insert according to the invention is capable of occupying only a portion of the area of ​​the base of the cutlery rack, particularly the bottom rack, particularly at least one quadrant and / or at least half.

[0035] Thus, a receiving area for receiving additional rinses, particularly space-consuming pots, frying pans, or glass trays, can be utilized, not occupied by the rack insert according to the invention. Wide and optimized reception of different rinses can be achieved without problems.

[0036] The rack insert according to the invention is capable of occupying the left rear quadrant, right rear quadrant, left half and / or right half of the base of a cutlery rack, particularly a bottom rack.

[0037] The space occupied allows for the widest possible use and optimal application of cutlery racks, especially bottom racks. Obviously, combinations of feasible placement options can also be considered, such as occupying the left rear quadrant and / or right front quadrant.

[0038] The rack insert according to the invention can be non-detachably or fixedly connected to a cutlery rack, particularly a bottom rack, or welded, or the rack insert can be detachably connected to a cutlery rack, particularly a bottom rack, wherein the rack insert is provided with fasteners, particularly hooks and / or locking clips, for securing to the cutlery rack, particularly the bottom rack.

[0039] By means of the non-removable or secure connection between the rack insert according to the invention and the cutlery rack, especially the bottom rack, a cutlery rack, especially the bottom rack, can be designed to be perfectly matched and optimized for the most uniform application conditions.

[0040] The detachable connection between the rack insert according to the invention and the cutlery rack, particularly the bottom rack, enables a feasible solution for the universal application of the cutlery rack, particularly the bottom rack. Users can quickly and easily remove the rack insert according to the invention from the cutlery rack, particularly the bottom rack, so that large pots, bowls, or similar items can subsequently be placed in the cutlery rack, particularly the bottom rack.

[0041] According to another aspect of the invention, a dishwasher, particularly a household dishwasher, is proposed, comprising a rack insert and / or a cutlery rack, particularly a bottom rack, according to the invention, the cutlery rack being equipped with at least one rack insert according to the invention.

[0042] Other possible embodiments of the invention include combinations of features or implementation methods described before or after the examples, which are not detailed herein. Furthermore, those skilled in the art have added various perspectives as improvements and supplements to the corresponding basic forms of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0046] Figure 1 A schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a known water-conducting household appliance 1 is shown. Currently, the water-conducting household appliance is the known dishwasher 1, and in particular, the known household dishwasher.

[0047] Dishwasher 1 typically has a rinsing container 2 configured as a working chamber for receiving items to be cleaned, and the rinsing container can be closed, particularly waterproof, through a container door 3. For this purpose, a sealing ring can be provided between the container door 3 and the rinsing container 2. Preferably, the rinsing container 2 is square. The rinsing container 2 can be arranged within the housing of the household dishwasher 1. The rinsing container 2 and the container door 3 can form a rinsing chamber 4 for rinsing the items.

[0048] Container door 3 in Figure 1 The open position is shown in the diagram. The container door 3 can be closed or opened by pivoting around the pivot 5 located at the lower end of the container door 3. The filling opening 6 on the front side of the rinsing container 2 can be closed or opened by means of the container door 3.

[0049] The rinsing container 2 is, for example, square and has a container bottom 7, a container lid 8 arranged opposite to the container bottom 7, a container rear wall 9 arranged opposite to the closed container door 3, and two container side walls 10 and 11 arranged opposite to each other. The container bottom 7, container lid 8, container rear wall 9, and container side walls 10 and 11 can be made of stainless steel sheet, for example.

[0050] Furthermore, the household dishwasher 1 has at least one rinseable container 12, 13, and 14. Preferably, the rinseable containers 12, 13, and 14 are the filling surfaces of the dishwasher 1. In particular, multiple rinseable containers 12, 13, and 14 can be provided, wherein the rinseable container 12 can be a lower dish rack (bottom rack), the rinseable container 13 can be an upper dish rack (upper rack), and the rinseable container 14 can be a dish drawer of the dishwasher 1. Preferably, multiple rinseable containers 12, 13, and 14 are arranged in a stacked manner in the rinse container 2. Each rinseable container 12, 13, and 14 can optionally move into the rinse container 2, particularly linearly, in the insertion direction E (arrow) or move out of it, particularly linearly, in the withdrawal direction A (arrow).

[0051] Figure 2 A schematic perspective view of a first preferred embodiment of the cutlery rack 12 (not shown) and rack insert 15 (not shown) for a dishwasher 1 (not shown), particularly a household dishwasher (not shown), is shown according to the present invention.

[0052] The dish rack 12 for a dishwasher 1, particularly a household dishwasher, and the rack insert 15, particularly the bottom rack, include a plurality of spaced-apart coils 16, each coil being configured with multiple bends and each coil having a coil extension 16.V (double arrow). The rack insert also has a plurality of connecting wires 17 that connect the coils 16 to each other multiple times along the coil extensions 16.V (double arrow). Furthermore, along the coil extensions 16.V (double arrow), a plurality of differently designed areas B1, B2, and B3 are provided for receiving different rinse items SG.

[0053] In a first preferred embodiment of the holder insert 15, three differently designed regions B1, B2, and B3, specifically the left region B1, the middle region B2, and the right region B3, are arranged along the coil extension 16.V (double arrow) for receiving different rinse materials SG. The design of multiple different regions B1, B2, and B3 enables problem-free and safe reception of different rinse materials SG, which are not shown.

[0054] Figure 3 It shows that according to Figure 2 A schematic cross-sectional view of a first preferred embodiment of the frame insert 15 according to the present invention.

[0055] For a dishwasher 1 (not shown), particularly a household dishwasher (not shown), a dish rack 12 (not shown), and a bottom rack insert 15 (not shown), as already implemented, include a plurality of spaced-apart coils 16, each coil being configured with multiple bends and each coil having a coil extension 16.V (double arrow). The insert also has a plurality of connecting wires 17 that connect the coils 16 multiple times along the coil extensions 16.V (double arrow). Furthermore, along the coil extensions 16.V (double arrow), a plurality of differently designed areas B1, B2, and B3 are provided for receiving different rinse items SG.

[0056] Exemplarily, in a first preferred embodiment of the rack insert 15, three differently designed regions B1, B2, and B3 for receiving different rinse materials SG are provided along the coil extension 16.V (double arrow), specifically the left region B1, the middle region B2, and the right region B3. The first and left regions B1 can also be slightly raised to allow space below for different contents, such as zeolite inlet caps, to be placed in and / or on the bottom of the container. It is evident that the first and left regions B1 can also be set lower without such contents in and / or on the bottom of the container.

[0057] The first and left regions B1 of the holder insert are at least located between the first connecting line 17.1 and another, particularly the second connecting line 17.2, and are particularly suitable for receiving glass cups S1 and / or ceramic cups S2. Furthermore, the second and middle regions B2 are at least located between another, particularly the second connecting line 17.2 and another, particularly the fourth connecting line 17.4, and are particularly suitable for receiving plates of different sizes. Additionally, the third and right regions B3 are at least located between another, particularly the fourth connecting line 17.4 and another, particularly the seventh connecting line 17.7, and are again particularly suitable for receiving glass cups S1 and / or ceramic cups S2.

[0058] Furthermore, the second intermediate region B2, particularly the second connecting line 17.2, is provided with at least one embossed protrusion 18 between each of the plurality of individual coils 16 (see Figure 2 Each embossed protrusion 18 can have a suitable profile, such as wavy, triangular, rectangular, and / or polygonal. At least one embossed protrusion 18 extending between each coil 16 significantly improves the placement stability of the received rinse material SG, at least not due to the shape fit achieved by utilizing a smaller number of contact points. Therefore, the received rinse material can no longer slide laterally on the rear side.

[0059] The corresponding coil 16 has a coil 26 with a vertical coil height HV.26 between the second connecting line 17.2 and the third connecting line 17.3, which extends at least 25 mm, preferably at least 30 mm, and particularly at least 34 mm beyond the adjacent second connecting line 17.2 in the vertical line V (double arrow).

[0060] Furthermore, the second intermediate region B2, particularly the fourth connecting line 17.4, is equipped with at least one needle 19 between each of the plurality of individual coils 16. Preferably, the individual needles 19 are part of a needle array 20, which in turn can have groups G1, G2 of needles 19 with the same orientation (see...). Figure 2 On the other hand, groups G1 and G2 can also have different orientations of needle 19, such as a mirror orientation (see...). Figure 2 The needle 19, positioned as part of the needle array, also contributes to the secure positioning of the received rinse material SG. The needle array can be implemented as both rigid and foldable.

[0061] The corresponding needle 19 is oriented relative to the vertical line V (double arrow) at an angle range 19.W of + / -25°, preferably + / -20°, and particularly + / -15°, and / or includes a needle length 19.L in the range of 30mm to 110mm, preferably 40mm to 100mm, and particularly 50mm to 90mm. Furthermore, the corresponding needle 19 is arranged obliquely, wherein the needle has an orientation angle 19.A relative to its additional, particularly fourth connecting line 17.4, in the range of 45° to 90°, preferably 50° to 85°, and particularly 60° to 80° (see...). Figure 2 The characteristics of the corresponding needle 19 are particularly advantageous in influencing the position of the received rinse material SG and its practical applicability.

[0062] The second intermediate region B2 and the corresponding needle 19, i.e., its needle base 19.B, have additional, particularly the second connecting line 17.2, having a horizontal spacing AH.19 in the range of 80mm to 125mm, preferably 100mm to 120mm, particularly 110mm to 115mm, and / or a vertical spacing AV.19 in the range of -5mm to 30mm, preferably 0mm to 20mm, particularly 0mm to 15mm or 0mm to 10mm. These two possible geometric features, the horizontal spacing AH.19 and the vertical spacing AV.19, also contribute to the secure positioning of the received rinse material.

[0063] Furthermore, particularly the second connecting line 17.2 and the third connecting line 17.3, can have a horizontal spacing AH.3 in the range of 60mm to 100mm, preferably 70mm to 90mm, particularly 75mm to 85mm, or in the range of 40mm to 90mm, preferably 50mm to 80mm, particularly 55mm to 75mm, and / or a vertical spacing AV.3 in the range of 10mm to 40mm, preferably 15mm to 35mm, particularly 15mm to 25mm or 20mm to 30mm. This allows for simple and consistent optimization of the position and orientation of the received rinse material SG in the second and intermediate regions B2 of the rack insert 15. The received rinse material SG penetrates sufficiently deep into the rack insert 15, and further, sufficient positional stability is achieved.

[0064] Furthermore, a step 21 can be arranged between another, particularly the fifth connecting line 17.5 and another, particularly the sixth connecting line 17.6, the step having an inclination 21.S of 6° to 40°, preferably 8° to 35°, particularly 10° and 30° or 15° to 35° relative to the horizontal line H (double arrow), and / or having a horizontal length 21.LH of 30mm to 100mm, preferably 40mm to 90mm, particularly 45mm to 85mm or 40mm to 60mm. The received rinsing material SG, particularly the glass cup S1 and / or ceramic cup S2, can be safely abutted against the needle row in the second and intermediate regions.

[0065] It should be noted that the naming of connectors 17, 17.1, 17.2, and 17.4 through 17.7 is based on... Figure 3 The illustrated implementation is shown above. In other preferred embodiments, additional connecting lines can be included or excluded, thereby naturally changing the naming of the connecting lines. Therefore, the current naming of the connecting lines is only to be understood as illustrative of the illustrated implementation.

In the case of a detachable connection, the rack insert 15 is equipped with fasteners known to those skilled in the art for securing it to the cutlery rack 12, particularly the bottom rack, in particular hooks and / or locking clips.

[0079] Figure 9 A schematic perspective view of a second preferred embodiment of the invention is shown, for a dish rack 12 (not shown) for a dishwasher 1 (not shown), particularly for a household dishwasher, and particularly for a rack insert 115 for a bottom rack.

[0080] For a dishwasher 1, particularly a household dishwasher, a dish rack 12, and especially a rack insert 115 for the bottom rack, includes a plurality of spaced-apart coils 116, each coil being configured with multiple bends and each coil having a coil extension 116.V (double arrow). The rack insert also has a plurality of connecting wires 117 that connect the coils 116 to each other multiple times along the coil extensions 116.V (double arrow). Furthermore, a plurality of differently designed areas B4, B5, and B6 for receiving different rinse items SG are provided along the coil extensions 116.V (double arrow).

[0081] In a second preferred embodiment of the holder insert 115, three differently designed regions B4, B5, and B6 are provided along the coil extension 116.V (double arrow) for receiving different rinse materials SG, specifically the left region B4, the middle region B5, and the right region B6. The design of multiple different regions B4, B5, and B6 enables problem-free and safe reception of different rinse materials SG, not shown.

[0082] Figure 10 It shows that according to Figure 9 A schematic cross-sectional view of a second preferred embodiment of the frame insert 115 according to the present invention.

[0083] For a dishwasher 1 (not shown), particularly a household dishwasher (not shown), a dish rack 12 (not shown), and particularly a bottom rack (not shown), a rack insert 115 includes, as already implemented, a plurality of spaced-apart coils 116, each coil being configured with multiple bends and each coil having a coil extension 116.V (double arrow). The rack insert also has a plurality of connecting wires 117 that connect the coils 116 multiple times along the coil extensions 116.V (double arrow). Furthermore, a plurality of differently designed areas B4, B5, and B6 for receiving different rinse items SG are provided along the coil extensions 116.V (double arrow).

[0084] Exemplarily, in a first preferred embodiment of the rack insert 115, three differently designed regions B4, B5, and B6, specifically the left region B4, the middle region B5, and the right region B6, are arranged along the coil extension 116.V (double arrow) for receiving different rinse materials SG. The first and left regions B4 can also be slightly raised to allow space below for different contents, such as zeolite inlet caps, to be placed in and / or on the bottom of the container. It is evident that the first and left regions B4 can also be set lower without such contents in and / or on the bottom of the container.

[0085] The first and left regions B4 of the holder insert 115 are at least located between the first connecting line 117.1 and another, particularly the second connecting line 117.2, and are particularly suitable for receiving glass cups S1 and / or ceramic cups S2. Furthermore, the second and middle regions B5 are at least located between another, particularly the second connecting line 117.2 and another, particularly the fourth connecting line 117.4, and are particularly suitable for receiving plates of different sizes. Additionally, the third and right regions B6 are at least located between another, particularly the fourth connecting line 117.4 and another, particularly the seventh connecting line 117.7, and are again particularly suitable for receiving glass cups S1 and / or ceramic cups S2.

[0086] The corresponding coil 116 has a coil 126 with a vertical coil height HV.126 between the second connecting line 117.2 and the third connecting line 117.3, the coil extending at least 40 mm, preferably at least 50 mm, and particularly at least 60 mm beyond the adjacent second connecting line 117.2 on the vertical line V (double arrow). Preferably, the two side angles FW.2 and FW.3 of the coil 126 have different values. The smaller side angle FW.2 adjacent to the second connecting line 117.2 is set to a value of 6° to 14°, preferably 8° to 12°, and particularly about 10°, and correspondingly, the larger side angle FW.3 adjacent to the third connecting line 117.3 is set to a value of 12° to 20°, preferably 15° to 18°, and particularly about 17°.

[0087] Furthermore, the second intermediate region B5, particularly the fourth connecting line 117.4, is equipped with at least one needle 119 between a plurality of individual coils 116. Preferably, the individual needle 119 is part of a needle array 120, which in turn can have groups G3, G4 of needles 119 with the same orientation (see...). Figure 9 Groups G3 and G4 can also have different orientations of needle 119, such as a mirror orientation (see...). Figure 9 The needle 119, positioned as part of the needle array, also contributes to the secure positioning of the received rinse material SG. The needle array can be implemented as both rigid and foldable.

[0088] The corresponding needle 119 is oriented relative to the vertical line V (double arrow) at an angle range 119.W of + / -25°, preferably + / -20°, and particularly + / -15°, and / or includes a needle length 119.L in the range of 30mm to 110mm, preferably 40mm to 100mm, and particularly 50mm to 90mm. Furthermore, the corresponding needle 119 is arranged obliquely, wherein the needle has an orientation angle 119.A relative to its additional, particularly fourth connecting line 117.4, in the range of 45° to 90°, preferably 50° to 85°, and particularly 60° to 80° (see...). Figure 9 The characteristics of the corresponding needle 119 are particularly advantageous in influencing the position of the received rinse material SG and its practical applicability.

[0089] The second intermediate region B5 and the corresponding needle, namely its needle base 119.B, have additional, particularly the second connecting line 117.2, with a horizontal spacing AH.119 in the range of 80 mm to 125 mm, preferably 100 mm to 120 mm, particularly 110 mm to 115 mm, and / or a vertical spacing AV.119 in the range of -5 mm to 30 mm, preferably 0 mm to 20 mm, particularly 0 mm to 15 mm or 0 mm to 10 mm. These two possible geometric features, the horizontal spacing AH.119 and the vertical spacing AV.119, also contribute to the secure positioning of the received rinse material.

[0090] Furthermore, particularly the second connecting line 117.2 and the third connecting line 117.3, can have a horizontal spacing AH.13 in the range of 60mm to 100mm, preferably 70mm to 90mm, particularly 75mm to 85mm, or in the range of 40mm to 90mm, preferably 50mm to 80mm, particularly 55mm to 75mm, and / or a vertical spacing AV.13 in the range of 10mm to 40mm, preferably 15mm to 35mm, particularly 15mm to 25mm or 20mm to 30mm. This allows for simple and consistent optimization of the position and orientation of the received rinse material SG in the second and intermediate regions B5 of the rack insert 115. The received rinse material SG penetrates sufficiently deep into the rack insert 115, and further, sufficient positional stability is achieved.

[0091] Furthermore, a step 121 can be arranged between another, particularly the fifth connecting line 117.5 and another, particularly the sixth connecting line 117.6, the step having an inclination 121.S of 6° to 40°, preferably 8° to 35°, particularly 10° and 30° or 15° to 35° relative to the horizontal line H (double arrow), and / or having a horizontal length 121.LH of 30mm to 100mm, preferably 40mm to 90mm, particularly 45mm to 85mm or 40mm to 60mm. The received rinsing material SG, particularly the glass cup S1 and / or ceramic cup S2, can be safely abutted against the needle row in the second and intermediate regions.

[0092] It should be noted that the naming of connectors 117, 117.1, 117.2, and 117.4 through 117.7 is based on... Figure 10 The illustrated implementation is shown above. In other preferred embodiments, additional connecting lines can be included or excluded, thereby naturally changing the naming of the connecting lines. Therefore, the current naming of the connecting lines is only to be understood as illustrative of the illustrated implementation.

[0093] Figure 11 It shows that according to Figure 9A schematic plan view of a second preferred embodiment of the frame insert 115 according to the present invention.

[0094] Alternatively or additionally, the second intermediate region B5, particularly the second connecting line 117.2, mainly and particularly completely has a straight extension VL, i.e., without any protrusions.

[0095] Furthermore, it is identifiable that the corresponding coil 116 has at least a horizontal offset HZ in the region of the third connecting line 117.3. Preferably, at least the horizontal offset HZ extends relative to the needle 119 belonging to the coil 116. Preferably, the horizontal offset HZ has a value between 2 mm and 6 mm, preferably between 3 mm and 5 mm, and particularly about 4 mm. Preferably, the corresponding suitable coil 116, the associated offset HZ, and the adjacent suitable needle 119 form a bevel ES.
