Furthermore, the invention relates to a dish basket, in particular a lower basket, of a dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher, and a dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher.

[0002] Commonly available dish baskets, especially lower baskets, typically have several sections, each with two parallel rows of spikes. These are primarily designed to accommodate plates of various sizes. Glasses or cups cannot be placed in these areas. Smaller items fall or dip through the bottom of the dish basket and, in the worst case, can block the lower spray mechanism, especially the lower spray arm.

[0003] It's also known that foldable racks can be tilted to accommodate glasses and cups. This is generally only possible with higher-quality dish racks and means that plates can no longer be positioned on these racks.

[0004] The document EP 2 377 455 A1 discloses a dishwashing basket insert for a dishwashing basket, in particular a lower basket, of a dishwasher, comprising a plurality of wire loops arranged one behind the other in the loading direction of the dishwasher, each of which extends in the width direction of the dishwashing basket at least approximately across its entire width, wherein each wire loop is bent multiple times and, at its end, merges integrally into a spike projecting vertically in the dishwasher. A dishwashing item holder can have two curved arrangements that are spaced apart from one another, wherein the curved arrangements of two wire loops arranged one behind the other in the loading direction form a respective dishwashing item holder between them. Furthermore, at least one further curved arrangement can be formed between the two spaced-apart curved arrangements of a wire loop.Furthermore, the further arched arrangements of two wire loops arranged one behind the other in the loading direction can form a respective further dishware holder between them.

[0005] The document WO 2019 / 002930 A1 discloses a frame for washing machines, in particular dishwashers, wherein the frame has a shape that can be assigned to the shape of the dishwashing container and comprises a plurality of longitudinal wires and a plurality of transverse wires that are connected to one another, arranged and shaped in a suitable manner to define at least one receiving space capable of receiving at least one item of dishware, and comprises at least one outer wall and at least one bottom defined by the longitudinal and transverse wires, wherein the bottom is substantially orthogonal to the outer wall and is divisible into at least three zones: at least one central zone and at least two lateral zones that are substantially symmetrical with respect to the central zone.The arrangement of the longitudinal wires must provide at least two support points for each plate placed in the receiving space and must be such that, if one or more of the longitudinal wires are not in contact with a plate, they must not prevent the correct positioning and installation of the plate in the receiving space.

[0006] The object of the invention is therefore to provide a basket insert for a dish basket, in particular a lower basket, of a dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher, which enables optimized utilization of the washing space provided by the dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher. The basket insert according to the invention for a dish basket, in particular a lower basket, should be able to accommodate a wide variety of wash items, such as plates, cups, glasses, pots, and the like.

[0007] To achieve the object according to the invention, a basket insert for a dish basket, in particular a lower basket, of a dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher, is proposed, comprising a plurality of spaced-apart wire loops, each of which is bent multiple times and each having a wire loop path, and a plurality of connecting wires that connect the wire loops to one another multiple times along their wire loop path. A plurality of differently designed areas for accommodating different items to be washed, in particular different items of crockery, such as plates, cups, glasses, pots, and the like, are provided along the wire loop path on the basket insert according to the invention.

[0008] Due to the design of the basket insert according to the invention, the dish basket can be used for a wide variety of loads in dedicated areas without the customer having to adjust this area, for example, by folding down folding spikes. This design also offers the advantage that plates and cups, for example, can be placed side by side at the same time, thus allowing flexible use of the available dishwashing space.

[0009] The pitch of the wire loops can vary at least once along the length of the connecting wires. For example, one half can be designed with a smaller pitch to accommodate shallower plates, and one half with a larger pitch to accommodate deeper plates. A smaller pitch of the wire loops also allows for smaller items to be placed without them protruding through the underside of the basket insert according to the invention and / or the dish basket and potentially preventing the lower spray arm from rotating.

[0010] Alternatively, the rear area can also be designed with the same division across the entire width.

[0011] The dish basket can in particular be a lower basket, whereas the dishwasher can in particular be a household dishwasher.

[0012] In a first embodiment, it is provided that at least three differently designed areas, in particular a left area, a middle area and a right area, are provided for receiving different items to be washed along the wire loop path.

[0013] The provision of several different areas allows for easy and safe collection of different wash items.

[0014] In a second embodiment, it is provided that the first and left-hand region is provided at least between a first connecting wire and a further, in particular second, connecting wire and is particularly suitable for receiving glasses and / or cups, that the second and middle region is provided at least between a further, in particular second, connecting wire and a further, in particular fourth, connecting wire and is particularly suitable for receiving plates of different sizes, and that the third and right-hand region is provided at least between a further, in particular fourth, connecting wire and a further, in particular seventh, connecting wire and is particularly suitable again for receiving glasses and / or cups.

[0015] In the first and left-hand area of ​​the basket insert according to the invention, glasses and / or cups, for example, can rest securely against a side wall of the dish basket, especially the lower basket. This area can also be slightly raised to create space underneath for various fixtures in and / or on the container base, such as a zeolite injection cap. Of course, this area can also be lower without any fixtures in and / or on the container base.

[0016] In the second and central region of the basket insert according to the invention, a row of spikes arranged on the further, in particular fourth, connecting wire, as well as a further elevation of the contour, can ensure that the items held therein are held securely. The items held therein can, in particular, be plates.

[0017] And in the third and right-hand area of ​​the basket insert according to the invention, glasses and / or cups, for example, can again rest securely on the row of spikes in the second and middle area.

[0018] In a further embodiment, it is provided that the further, in particular second, connecting wire of the second central region between the individual wire loops is provided with at least one embossed hump.

[0019] The at least one embossed hump between each individual wire loop, which can have any suitable contour, such as a wave shape, a triangular shape, a rectangular shape, and / or a polygonal shape, significantly increases the positional stability of the items being held, not least due to a positive fit with a small number of contact points. This prevents the items being held from slipping sideways on the rear side. The items being held can, in particular, be plates.

[0020] In a further embodiment, it is provided that the further, in particular fourth, connecting wire of the second central region between the individual wire loops is provided with at least one spike each, wherein the respective spike is aligned in an angular range of + / - 25°, preferably of + / - 20°, in particular of + / - 15°, to the vertical.

[0021] A spike oriented in this way, even as part of a row of spikes, can, as already mentioned, contribute to the secure positioning of the items being held.

The items being held can, in particular, be plates.

[0022] In a further embodiment, it is provided that the respective spike has a spike length in the range of 30 mm to 110 mm, preferably from 40 mm to 100 mm, in particular from 50 mm to 90 mm, and / or an alignment angle to its further, in particular fourth, connecting wire in the range of 45° to 90°, preferably from 50° to 85°, in particular from 60° and 80°.

[0023] These two possible properties of the spike, the spike length and the angle of the spike, also contribute to the secure positioning of the picked-up items. The picked-up items can, in particular, be plates.

[0024] In a further embodiment, it is provided that the further, in particular second, connecting wire of the second central region and the respective spike have a horizontal distance in the range from 80 mm to 125 mm, preferably from 100 mm to 120 mm, in particular of approximately 110 mm, and / or a vertical distance in the range from -5 mm to 30 mm, preferably from 0 mm to 20 mm, in particular from 0 mm to 15 mm. A negative vertical distance means that the respective spike is arranged vertically below the further, in particular second, connecting wire of the second central region. In contrast, a positive vertical distance means that the respective spike is arranged vertically above the further, in particular second, connecting wire of the second central region.

[0025] Furthermore, these two possible geometric properties, the horizontal and vertical distance, also contribute to the secure positioning of the items being picked up. The items being picked up can, in particular, be plates.

[0026] In a further embodiment, it is provided that the further, in particular second, connecting wire and the further, in particular third, connecting wire have a horizontal distance in the range from 60 mm to 100 mm, preferably from 70 mm to 90 mm, in particular from 75 to 85 mm, and / or a vertical distance in the range from 10 mm to 40 mm, preferably from 15 mm to 35 mm, in particular from 15 mm to 25 mm.

[0027] This allows for an easy and continuous optimal positioning and alignment of the items being picked up in the second and central area of ​​the basket insert according to the invention. The items being picked up are immersed sufficiently deeply into the basket insert according to the invention and also experience sufficient positional stability. The items being picked up can, in particular, be plates.

[0028] In a further embodiment, it is provided that between the further, in particular fifth, connecting wire and the further, in particular sixth, connecting wire, a step with an inclination of 6° to 40°, preferably of 8° to 35°, in particular of 10° and 30°, to the horizontal and / or with a horizontal length of 30 mm to 100 mm, preferably of 40 mm to 90 mm, in particular of 45 mm to 85 mm, is arranged.

[0029] The picked-up items, especially glasses and / or cups, can then rest securely against the row of spikes in the second and middle sections. The picked-up items can be glasses and / or cups, in particular.

[0030] Furthermore, a crockery basket, in particular a lower basket, of a dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher, is provided, which can be displaced in an insertion direction along a guide device into a washing container or can be displaced counter to the insertion direction out of the washing container, which has longitudinal elements and transverse elements, wherein the longitudinal elements extend in the direction of the insertion direction of the dishware holder, wherein the transverse elements are arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal elements and wherein the longitudinal elements and transverse elements form a basket mat, and which is equipped with at least one basket insert according to the invention.

[0031] The advantages of the basket insert according to the invention can also be transferred to the dish basket, in particular the lower basket, when it is inserted into a dish basket, in particular a lower basket. Thus, the provision of a basket insert according to the invention in a dish basket, in particular a lower basket, allows for trouble-free and safe storage of different items.
