Description

[0001] Adjustment options on a cutlery drawer

[0002] The present invention relates to a cutlery drawer for a household dishwasher.

[0003] Cutlery drawers for household dishwashers (hereinafter also referred to as "dishwashers") are well known. These often form a third loading level within the dishwasher's wash chamber and are specifically designed to hold cutlery.

[0004] Another well-known disadvantage of cutlery drawers is that they reduce the available space for dishes in a second loading level, such as an upper basket. Another problem associated with cutlery drawers is that users regularly want to store smaller items of crockery in the cutlery drawer in addition to cutlery.

[0005] EP 3 175 766 A1 discloses an example of a cutlery drawer that at least partially meets the aforementioned requirements. This document describes a cutlery drawer with two cutlery inserts to the left and right of a center insert. The inserts are held by a support frame. The cutlery inserts are each provided so that they can be moved above the center insert. Furthermore, the cutlery inserts can each be pivoted downward (inclined position). Furthermore, the cutlery inserts can be moved from the pivoted position into a lowered horizontal position in a continuous movement. The approach presented in EP 3 175 766 A1 is comparatively complicated and therefore costly.

[0006] Against this background, one object of the present invention is to provide an improved cutlery drawer. In particular, it should be of simple construction and thus inexpensive to manufacture. Furthermore, it should allow the user to adapt it to their wishes in order to ensure the most optimal and flexibly adaptable use of the washware space. Accordingly, a cutlery drawer for a household dishwasher is proposed, comprising: a support frame, a first cutlery insert arranged centrally on the support frame transversely to the pull-out direction of the cutlery drawer and firmly connected to the support frame, a second cutlery insert which is held on the support frame so as to be displaceable exclusively horizontally, wherein the second cutlery insert has a first position in which it is arranged adjacent to the support frame transversely to the pull-out direction, and a second position,in which it is at least partially pushed over the first cutlery insert and thereby releases an opening in the support frame, and a third cutlery insert which is held on the support frame in an exclusively pivotable manner, wherein the third cutlery insert has a first position in which it is arranged in a horizontal plane, and a second position in which it is pivoted out of the horizontal plane at its outer edge transverse to the extension direction.

[0007] The fact that the second cutlery insert can only be moved horizontally and the third cutlery insert can only be pivoted results in a simple structure that can be manufactured cost-effectively.

[0008] "Exclusively" in this case means that the second cutlery insert cannot be pivoted, and the third cutlery insert cannot be moved horizontally. However, slight movements in the essentially excluded direction, whether due to tolerances or to enable the desired movement, are not excluded. An example of the latter case is that, according to one embodiment, the third cutlery insert must first be moved slightly horizontally in order to disengage it from the support frame and thus be able to pivot.

[0009] In this case, the term "cutlery" drawer does not exclude the possibility of storing cutlery as well as small items such as espresso cups, cookware or baby items in the cutlery drawer.

[0010] A "household dishwasher" is understood here to mean a dishwasher that is suitable and intended for use in the home. The first cutlery tray can be formed integrally or in one piece with the support frame. For example, the support frame can have an outer, in particular rectangular, frame and an inner, in particular rectangular, frame arranged therein. The first cutlery tray can be detachably or permanently connected to the inner frame (the latter particularly in the one-piece variant). The first cutlery tray is firmly connected to the support frame, which means that the first cutlery tray is not movable relative to the support frame.

[0011] The "extension direction" of the cutlery drawer refers to the direction in which the cutlery drawer can be pulled out of the dishwasher when the cutlery drawer is located in a washing chamber of the dishwasher. For the purpose of extension, the cutlery drawer can have one or more rollers. In particular, the one or more rollers can be provided on the support frame. For example, the support frame has outer edges perpendicular to the extension direction. One or more rollers are preferably arranged on these edges.

[0012] The support frame and the first, second, and / or third cutlery insert can each be made of plastic, in particular by injection molding. In particular, the aforementioned components can be made exclusively of plastic. A reinforcing element, in particular a metal frame or bracket, can be inserted, in particular cast, into the plastic material of the aforementioned components to stiffen them.

[0013] "Adjacent" means that an outer edge of the second cutlery insert transverse to the pull-out direction rests against the support frame in the first position or is arranged at a slight distance from it, for example less than 3 mm, preferably less than 2 mm, even more preferably less than 1 mm.

[0014] When the second cutlery insert is in its second position, it creates an opening in the support frame. This allows taller containers, such as wine glasses or drinking bottles, to be placed in the area below, particularly in an upper basket. The storage space or volume for cutlery in the cutlery drawer is only slightly reduced. When the third cutlery insert is in its second position, this results in more available height above it. This height can be used to store small tableware items, such as cookware, espresso cups, baby items, and the like, in the cutlery drawer. At the same time, the cutlery drawer can be loaded with standard household cutlery.The swivel movement only slightly limits the available height in the area below, especially the upper basket, so that loading, for example with taller plates, is still possible without any problems.

[0015] According to one embodiment, the third cutlery insert is pivotally mounted at its inner edge transverse to the pull-out direction.

[0016] Appropriate storage means can be arranged, for example, on the end faces or edges of the third cutlery insert facing in the direction of extension or opposite thereto.

[0017] According to one embodiment, a pin is provided for the pivotable mounting of the third cutlery insert, which pin engages in an opening.

[0018] In particular, the pin can be arranged on the third cutlery insert, for example, on its edges pointing in and opposite to the extension direction. One or more corresponding openings can be arranged on sections of the support frame extending transversely to the extension direction. Instead of a pin and a corresponding opening, other engagement and receiving elements can also be provided. In this case, an "opening" can mean a through hole or a pocket.

[0019] According to a further embodiment, the opening is designed as an elongated hole.

[0020] This makes it possible to move the third cutlery insert slightly in a horizontal plane to release it from an engagement with the support frame (described in more detail below), thereby enabling pivoting between the first and second positions. According to a further embodiment, the third cutlery insert is releasably engaged with the support frame at its outer edge in its first position.

[0021] Appropriate engagement and receiving elements can be provided for this purpose.

[0022] According to a further embodiment, the third cutlery insert in its second position is releasably engaged with the support frame at its outer edge.

[0023] This effectively limits the downward pivoting movement of the third cutlery insert.

[0024] According to a further embodiment, for the purpose of engagement in the first or second position of the cutlery insert, lugs are provided on the support frame, which engage in corresponding openings in the outer edge.

[0025] Appropriate noses and openings are easy to produce.

[0026] According to one embodiment, the engagement of the third cutlery insert in the first position is secured by a catch. This prevents the third cutlery insert from accidentally pivoting into the downward position (second position).

[0027] According to a further embodiment, the catch can be bypassed by lifting and then horizontally moving the outer edge of the third cutlery insert, thereby removing the engagement.

[0028] This represents a mechanically simple and also easy-to-manufacture solution.

[0029] According to a further embodiment, the pivoting movement of the third cutlery insert between the first and second positions is guided, in addition to the pivoting mounting on the inner edge of the third cutlery insert. This results in safer and more ergonomic operation of the third cutlery insert when adjusting it between its first and second positions.

[0030] According to a further embodiment, a groove is provided for guidance, into which a pin engages.

[0031] Instead of the groove and tenon, other receiving and engagement means could also be provided.

[0032] According to a further embodiment, the groove is formed in an edge of the third cutlery insert extending transversely to the pull-out direction.

[0033] Accordingly, the pin can be formed on a section of the support frame extending transversely to the extension direction.

[0034] According to one embodiment, the groove has an arcuate section, a horizontal section adjoining a lower end of the arcuate section and / or a vertical section adjoining the horizontal section vertically upwards.

[0035] This makes it easy to ensure the guided pivoting movement of the third cutlery insert. At the same time, the aforementioned locking mechanism is easily created, which secures the engagement of the third cutlery insert with the support frame in its first position.

[0036] According to a further embodiment, the pivoting movement of the third cutlery insert between the first and second positions is unguided, apart from the pivotable mounting on the inner edge of the third cutlery insert.

[0037] By omitting corresponding additional guide means, the cutlery drawer is even easier to manufacture. This embodiment does not preclude the downward pivoting movement of the third cutlery insert, i.e., in the second position, being limited by the aforementioned lugs and openings. According to a further aspect, a household dishwasher is provided, comprising a washing chamber in which a cutlery drawer is slidably mounted, as described above.

[0038] Further possible implementations of the invention also include combinations of features or embodiments described above or below with respect to the exemplary embodiments that are not explicitly mentioned. In this case, the person skilled in the art will also add individual aspects as improvements or additions to the respective basic form of the invention.

[0039] Further advantageous embodiments and aspects of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims and the exemplary embodiments of the invention described below. The invention will be explained in more detail below using preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying figures.

[0050] Fig. 10 shows the view from Fig. 5, but with the right cutlery insert shifted horizontally; and

[0051] Fig. 11 is a view obliquely from above from Fig. 10. In the figures, identical or functionally identical elements have been provided with the same reference numerals, unless otherwise stated.

[0052] Fig. 1 shows a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a household dishwasher 1. The household dishwasher 1 comprises a washing compartment 2, which can be closed, in particular watertight, by a door 3. For this purpose, a sealing device can be provided between the door 3 and the washing compartment 2. The washing compartment 2 is preferably cuboid-shaped. The washing compartment 2 can be arranged in a housing of the household dishwasher 1. The washing compartment 2 and the door 3 can form a washing compartment or washing chamber 4 for washing dishes.

[0053] The door 3 is shown in its open position in Fig. 1. The door 3 can be closed or opened by pivoting about a pivot axis 5 provided at a lower end of the door 3. With the help of the door 3, a loading opening 6 of the washing container 2 can be closed or opened. The washing container 2 has a base 7, a ceiling 8 arranged opposite the base 7, a rear wall 9 arranged opposite the closed door 3 and two side walls 10, 11 arranged opposite one another. The base 7, the ceiling 8, the rear wall 9 and the side walls 10, 11 can be made, for example, from a stainless steel sheet. Alternatively, the base 7 can be made, for example, from a plastic material.

[0054] The household dishwasher 1 further comprises at least one dishware receptacle 12 to 14. Preferably, several, for example three, dishware receptacles 12 to 14 can be provided, wherein the dishware receptacle 12 can be a lower dishware receptacle or a lower basket, the dishware receptacle 13 can be an upper dishware receptacle or an upper basket, and the dishware receptacle 14 can be a cutlery drawer. As Fig. 1 further shows, the dishware receptacles 12 to 14 are arranged one above the other in the washing compartment 2. Each dishware receptacle 12 to 14 can be selectively moved into or out of the washing compartment 2. In particular, each dishware receptacle 12 to 14 can be pushed or moved into the washing compartment 2 in an insertion direction E (arrow) and pulled or moved out of the washing compartment 2 in an extension direction A (arrow) opposite to the insertion direction E (arrow).2 shows in perspective an upper basket 13, above which a cutlery drawer 14 is arranged.

[0055] The cutlery drawer 14 has a rectangular support frame 15, for example, a cutlery insert 16 (here also referred to as the "first" cutlery insert), which can only be seen vaguely in Fig. 2, a horizontally displaced cutlery insert 17 (here also referred to as the "second" cutlery insert), and a downwardly pivoted cutlery insert 18 (here also referred to as the "third" cutlery insert). The cutlery inserts 16, 17, 18 each have unspecified ribs, webs, or grid structures, which make them suitable for holding cutlery and small tableware items, and can be made partially or entirely of plastic.

[0056] The cutlery insert 16 can be seen in Fig. 4, which shows a perspective view obliquely from above of the cutlery insert 16. The cutlery insert 16 can be formed integrally with the support frame 15. Likewise, the cutlery insert 16 is provided so as to be immovable with respect to the support frame 15. For example, the cutlery insert 16 is manufactured integrally with the frame 15 using a plastic injection molding process. In another embodiment, the cutlery insert 16 is manufactured as a separate part, which is, for example, inserted into and / or fastened to an inner frame (not shown) of the support frame 15.

[0057] The cutlery insert 17 (Fig. 2) is held on the support frame 15 so that it can be moved exclusively horizontally. In a first position, as shown in Fig. 4, the cutlery insert 17 is arranged transversely to the extension direction A (arrow) adjacent to the support frame 15. This can also be seen, for example, in Fig. 5, which shows a section VV from Fig. 4. The cutlery insert 17 has an outer edge 19 in the extension direction A (arrow), which is arranged directly adjacent to a frame part 20 of the support frame 15. The frame part 20 extends parallel to the edge 19 (i.e., in the extension direction A (arrow)). In particular, the edge 19 and the frame part 20 touch each other. From this closed position (also called "first" position in the present case), which can be seen in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the cutlery insert 17 can be pushed in a horizontal plane towards and over the cutlery insert 16.For this purpose, rails 23 can be formed, for example, on frame parts 21, 22 (Fig. 4) of the support frame 15 extending transversely to the extension direction A (arrow). The rails 23 can be seen in particular in Fig. 2, Fig. 10 and Fig. 11, wherein Fig. 10 shows the view from Fig. 5, but with the cutlery drawer 17 displaced horizontally, and Fig. 11 shows a perspective view obliquely from above from Fig. 10. The cutlery insert 17 has a corresponding contour which is supported on the rails 23 (an example of an abutment), so that the sliding movement is ensured. The cutlery insert 17 can only be displaced horizontally, i.e. it cannot be moved vertically upwards, in particular it cannot be pivoted vertically.

[0058] Returning to Fig. 2, it can be seen that the cutlery insert 17, in its horizontally displaced position (here also the "second" position), exposes an opening 24 in the support frame 15. In the exemplary embodiment, a wine glass 25 can thus be placed in the upper basket 13, with its base 26 extending into the opening 24. At the same time, the cutlery insert 17 can accommodate, for example, several knives 27 or other cutlery items.

[0059] The position of the glass 25 or of its base 26 in the opening 24 can also be seen in Fig. 3, which shows a view opposite to the extension direction A (arrow) from Fig. 2.

[0060] In the position of the cutlery insert 18 shown in Fig. 4 (here also the "first" position), an outer edge 28 of the cutlery insert 18, which is perpendicular to the extension direction A (arrow), is arranged adjacent to a frame part 36 of the support frame 15. The cutlery insert 18 can be pivoted downwards out of the horizontal plane H at its edge 28, with Fig. 2 and Fig. 6 showing the downwardly pivoted position (here also the "second" position). For this purpose, the cutlery insert 18 is pivotally mounted on the support frame 15, and only pivotably. This means that the cutlery insert 18 is not provided for horizontal displacement, or only insignificantly so.

[0061] To allow the cutlery insert 18 to be pivoted, its inner edge 29, which is transverse to the extension direction A (arrow), is provided for pivoting, for example. In particular, engagement or receiving means 30 are arranged on the inner edge 29 (Fig. 5), which engage with receiving or engagement means (not shown in detail here) on the support frame 15 to ensure pivoting. According to an embodiment, which is shown in a different context in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, the engagement or receiving means 30 can comprise a pin 31 and an opening 32. The pin 31 is attached to an edge 33 (see Fig. 4 and Fig. 5) of the cutlery insert 18, which extends transversely to the extension direction A (arrow), and extends in the extension direction A (arrow). In doing so, it engages in the opening 32, which, according to the exemplary embodiment, is designed as an elongated hole.

[0062] Returning to Fig. 4, which shows the horizontal position of the cutlery insert 18, it can be seen there that lugs 34 projecting from the frame part 36 of the support frame 15 extend through corresponding (lower) openings 40 in the edge 28 of the cutlery insert 18. These ensure that the cutlery insert 18 cannot be pivoted downwards or loaded with cutlery, for example, in its position shown in Fig. 4. Corresponding cutlery parts 35, such as knives or spoons, can be seen in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. The cutlery insert 18 can be disengaged from the lugs 34 by being moved by hand transversely to the extension direction A (arrow). To prevent this from happening unintentionally, a preferred embodiment provides a catch 37 which must first be overcome or bypassed in order to disengage the cutlery insert 18 from the lugs 34.

[0063] The catch 37 interacts with a counter-contour 38 (see also Fig. 7), in this embodiment a pin. For example, the catch 37 is formed on an edge 39 of the cutlery insert 18 extending in the extension direction A (arrow). The pin 38 is preferably formed on the opposite frame part 21 of the support frame 15. Accordingly, the cutlery insert 18 must first be lifted at its edge 28 and slightly displaced horizontally, for example by 5 mm or less, in the direction of the cutlery insert 16, as a result of which the catch 37 is bypassed and the cutlery insert 18 or the openings 40 in the edge 28 are disengaged. There are now, for example, two possibilities, shown here, for pivoting the cutlery insert 18 downward. On the one hand, these are a guided movement, as illustrated in Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, on the other hand, an unguided movement can occur, as in Fig.8 and Fig. 9.

[0064] First, the guided movement will be described. For this purpose, the edge 39 of the cutlery insert 18 has a guide groove 41, which is shown in an enlarged view in Fig. 7. The guide groove 41 comprises an arcuate section 42. A horizontal section 43 extends from the lower end of the arcuate section 42. A vertical section 44, in turn, adjoins the horizontal section 32. According to this exemplary embodiment, the detent 37 also results from the sequence of sections 42, 43, 44. However, the detent 37 could also be implemented differently. After the detent 37 has been transferred, the pin 38 moves in the arcuate section 42, so that the pivoting movement of the cutlery insert 18 is guided downward. In particular, the guide is provided such that openings 45 in the edge 28 above the openings 40 engage with the lugs 34, as shown in Fig. 6.Ideally, this happens automatically through the action of the guide groove 41 or the arcuate section 42. In other embodiments, this is manually assisted by the user.

[0065] In the resulting downwardly pivoted position of the cutlery insert 18, as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3, small tableware items, such as espresso cups 47, can be arranged on or in the cutlery insert 18, because sufficient height is ensured due to the pivoted position up to the underside of the carcass ceiling (see Fig. 1). Despite the downwardly pivoted cutlery insert 18, a plate 46 can be accommodated in the upper basket 13 below the cutlery insert 18, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

[0066] Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 show the variant with an unguided pivoting movement. Fig. 8 shows the horizontal starting position, in which the lugs 34 engage the lower openings 40. In the downwardly pivoted position, as shown in Fig. 9, the lugs 34 engage the upper openings 45. Due to the unguided pivoting movement—in particular, there is no guide groove 41—the user preferably manually engages the lugs 34 with the openings 45.

[0067] Although the present invention has been described using exemplary embodiments, it can be modified in many ways.
