[0009] (The knowledge and other information that formed the basis of this disclosure) At the time when the inventors came up with the present disclosure, there was a technique for storing the holder or removing it from the edge of the dish basket when it is not necessary to hold the tubular objects upright. However, the inventors discovered a problem that the conventional technique could not be used for purposes other than holding objects other than the tubular objects, and that the conventional technique was designed to hold the outer surface of the tubular objects, so that it could not hold tubular objects having an outer surface larger than the holder was designed to hold. In order to solve this problem, the inventors came up with the subject of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a dishwasher and a dish basket that can hold tubular items of various shapes and can be used for purposes other than holding items other than tubular items.

[0010] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, more detailed explanation than necessary may be omitted. For example, detailed explanation of already well-known matters or duplicate explanation of substantially the same configuration may be omitted. This is to avoid the following explanation becoming more redundant than necessary and to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. It should be noted that the accompanying drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.

[0011] (Embodiment 1) Hereinafter, the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. The symbol FR shown appropriately in each drawing indicates the front of the dishwasher 1 in the installed state, the symbol UP indicates the upper side of the dishwasher 1, and the symbol LH indicates the left side of the dishwasher 1. In the following description, each direction is along the direction of the dishwasher 1. [1-1. Configuration] [1-1-1. Dishwasher configuration] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a dishwasher 1 in the first embodiment, and is an overall perspective view with a door 11 open.

[0012] As shown in Fig. 1, the dishwasher 1 of this embodiment has a box-shaped housing 10 with an open front. The housing 10 is housed inside a system kitchen. A door body 11 is attached to the front of the housing 10 so as to be freely opened and closed around its lower end. A decorative panel (not shown) of the system kitchen is attached to the front side of the door body 11. The dishwasher 1 of this embodiment is a so-called front-open type dishwasher 1 built into a system kitchen.

[0013] The interior of the housing 10 is a washing tank 12. Two upper and lower dishware baskets 19, 20 are installed inside the washing tank 12, and the dishware baskets 19, 20 are configured so that objects to be washed can be placed in them. The housing 10 is supported from below by a frame 13. The objects to be washed include cylindrical objects to be washed and flat objects to be washed. The spray nozzle 14 is rotatably disposed on a substantially horizontal plane below the dish basket 20. The spray nozzle 14 sprays tap water supplied from a water supply hose (not shown) into the inside of the washing tub 12.

[0014] An air break device 40 for drainage is attached to the outside of the housing 10. A drain hose 50 is attached to the air break device 40. The drainage water after being used for cleaning in the cleaning tank 12 is drained through the air break device 40 and the drain hose 50.

[0015] [1-1-2. Composition of tableware basket] 2 is a perspective view of the dish basket 20 installed under the washing tub 12. The dish basket 20 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from above.

[0016] The dish basket 20 is bent into a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from above, and includes a plurality of outer frame members 21 arranged vertically at intervals. The outer frame members 21 form the front, rear, left and right walls of the dish basket 20.

[0017] The dish basket 20 is provided with a plurality of roller portions 28 on the lower part of opposing short sides, and the plurality of roller portions 28 abut against a step portion 15 (see FIG. 1) formed on the inner wall of the washing tub 12 to support the dish basket 20. A roller portion bar 27 is connected by welding so as to intersect with the front outer frame bar 21, and the roller portions 28 are each fixed to the roller portion bar 27. The dish basket 20 has a handle 16 (see FIG. 1) provided at the upper front part, and when it is pulled out in the forward direction, the roller part 28 slides over the step part 15, allowing it to be pulled out to the inside surface of the door body 11. The handle 16 is fixed to two handle bars 26 that intersect the front outer frame bar 21 and extend upward.

[0018] The front and rear outer frame members 21 are connected by welding with a plurality of (five) short side members 22 arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the dish basket 20. The distance between the three short strips 22 in the center is greater than the distance between the rearmost short strip 22 and the short strip 22 adjacent thereto, and also greater than the distance between the frontmost short strip 22 and the short strip 22 adjacent thereto.

[0019] The short strip 22 is bent into a U-shape and has a short side portion 22A that rises from the longitudinal side of the dish basket 20 and is welded to the two outer frame strips 21, and a short bottom portion (bottom frame strip) 22B that forms the bottom of the dish basket 20.

[0020] The left and right outer frame members 21 are connected by welding with a plurality of (five) longitudinal members 24. The longitudinal members 24 are arranged in the short direction of the dish basket 20 at intervals. The distance between the three longitudinal strips 24 in the center is greater than the distance between the rearmost longitudinal strip 24 and the longitudinal strip 24 adjacent thereto, and also greater than the distance between the frontmost longitudinal strip 24 and the longitudinal strip 24 adjacent thereto.

[0021] The longitudinal strip 24 is bent into a U-shape and rises on the short-side side of the dish basket 20, and includes a longitudinal side portion 24A connecting the two outer frame strips 21, and a longitudinal bottom portion (bottom frame strip) 24B forming the bottom of the dish basket 20. The longitudinal bottom portion 24B intersects with the short-side bottom portion 22B at the bottom of the dish basket 20 and is connected by welding.

[0022] At the bottom of the dish basket 20, two pairs of second longitudinal strips 25A, 25B are arranged, which extend parallel to the longitudinal bottom portion 24B of the strip 24. The front pair of second longitudinal strips 25B crosses the short bottom portion 22B of the strip 22 and is connected by welding. The pair of second longitudinal strips 25B is disposed between the front two rows of longitudinal strips 24. The pair of second longitudinal strips 25A at the rear are supported by the support pin joint members 34 so as to intersect with the short bottom portions 22B of the strips 22. The pair of second longitudinal strips 25A are disposed between the two rear rows of longitudinal strips 24. The second longitudinal strips 25A can be in an upright position or a downright position. A plurality of support pins 32 are fixed to each of the pair of second longitudinal strips 25A, B. The support pins 32 extend obliquely upward, and items to be washed, such as tableware, are held between the support pins 32.

[0023] Furthermore, a total of four bottle holders 60 are provided between two pairs of second longitudinal strips 24A, 24B at the bottom of the dish basket 20 via joint members 66. Two bottle holders 60 are provided for one joint member 66.

[0024] One joint member 66 is attached to the longitudinal bottom portions 24B of the three central longitudinal strips 24 and the leftmost short strip 22B among the five longitudinal strips 24. The other joint member 66 is attached to the longitudinal bottom portions 24B of the three central longitudinal strips 24 and the rightmost short strip 22B among the five longitudinal strips 24. As a result, a pair of left and right bottle holders 60 are arranged in two rows. The pair of left and right bottle holders 60 are also arranged so that their downward facing directions face each other. As shown in Fig. 2, the bottle holder 60 can hold a bottle 102. The bottle holder 60 is composed of a first rib body 62A and a second rib body 62B.

[0025] Each of the wires 21, 22, 24, 25, the support pin 32, and the bottle holder 60 is formed by painting a resin coating on a steel wire formed into a rod shape, but the wire may also be made of stainless steel or resin.

[0026] Alternatively, the two pairs of second longitudinal strips 24A, 24B may be arranged in the front-rear direction, and the pair of bottle holders 60 may be disposed so as to face each other in the front-rear direction.

[0027] [1-1-3. Composition of joint members] Next, the joint member 66 will be described with reference to Figures 3, 4, and 5. Figure 3 is a diagram showing the bottle holder 60 in a prone position. Figure 4 is a diagram showing the bottle holder 60 in an upright position. Figure 5 is a plan view of the joint member 66. The joint member 66 corresponds to an example of a support member.

[0028] The following describes the left joint member 66. The left joint member 66 and the joint member 66 provided on the right side opposite the left joint member 66 are arranged symmetrically and have the same configuration, so their descriptions are omitted. The joint member 66 has a restricting portion 68 that fits with the long bottom portion 24B and the short bottom portion 22B, and a holding portion 82 that holds the bottle holder 60 rotatably.

[0029] The restricting portion 68 is formed so as to cover approximately half of the cross section of the long bottom portion 24B and the short bottom portion 22B. The restricting portion 68 is composed of a front-rear restricting portion 70, a second front-rear restricting portion 72, and a left-right restricting portion 74. The front-rear restricting portion 70 and the second front-rear restricting portion 72 cover the upper side of the long bottom portion 24B. The left-right restricting portion 74 covers the lower side of the short bottom portion 22B.

[0030] One of the front-rear restricting portions 70 constitutes the rear of the joint member 66 and fits into the second long bottom portion 24B from the rear. The other front-rear restricting portion 70 constitutes the front of the joint member 66 and fits into the second long bottom portion 24B from the front. In this way, the two front-rear restricting portions 70 restrict the movement of the joint member 66 in the front-rear direction.

[0031] The bottom of the dish basket 20 has an intersection where the long bottom portion 24B and the short bottom portion 22B intersect. The front-rear regulating portion 70 does not cover the intersection . The second front-rear restriction portion 72 fits into the central longitudinal bottom portion 24B. The front-rear restriction portion 70 and the second front-rear restriction portion 72 are formed so that the end sides on the side in which the bottle holder 60 lies down are aligned at position P1.

[0032] The front-rear regulating portion 70 and the second front-rear regulating portion 72 each have a regulating portion opening 76 formed on the side in which the bottle holder 60 lies down. The user can easily remove the bottle holder 60 from the tableware basket 20 by pushing up at least one of the front-rear regulating portion 70 and the second front-rear regulating portion 72 while pressing the strip of the longitudinal bottom portion 24B facing from the regulating portion opening 76.

[0033] The front-rear restricting portion 70 has a pair of strip body holding portions 70A that abut on the underside of the longitudinal bottom portion 24B at positions facing the restricting portion opening 76. The second front-rear restricting portion 72 has a pair of strip body holding portions 72A that abut on the underside of the longitudinal bottom portion 24B at positions facing the restricting portion opening 76. The strip body holding portions 70A, 72A have rounded portions that abut on the longitudinal bottom portion 24B.

[0034] The left-right restricting portion 74 constitutes the left side of the joint member 66 and fits into the leftmost short bottom portion 22B. In this way, the left-right restricting portion 74 restricts the movement of the joint member 66 in the left-right direction.

[0035] The left and right restricting portions 74 have a band portion 78 formed in a continuous band shape inside the joint member 66. The left and right restricting portions 74 also have a plurality (four) of claw portions 80 formed to face the band portion 78 with respect to the longitudinal bottom portion 24B gripped by the left and right restricting portions 74 as a reference. The claw portions 80 are formed to straddle and cover the lower portion of the longitudinal bottom portion 24B from the lower portion of the band portion 78. Two claw portions 80 are disposed between adjacent longitudinal bottom portions 24B.

[0036] The holding portions 82 are formed in pairs, respectively between one of the front-rear restricting portions 70 and the second front-rear restricting portion 72, and between the other of the front-rear restricting portion 70 and the second front-rear restricting portion 72. That is, the second front-rear restricting portion 72 has the holding portions 82 formed integrally at the front and rear, respectively. An insertion hole 82A is formed in the holding portion 82, and the bottle holder 60 is inserted into the insertion hole 82A. The holding portion 82 supports the bottle holder 60 so that the bottle holder 60 is rotatable.

[0037] 5, the holding portion 82 includes an abutment portion 84 against which the bottle holder 60 abuts. One end of the bottle holder 60 abuts against the abutment portion 84 when the bottle holder 60 is raised to the upright position. The holding portion 82 has a pair of rotation support portions 82B between the insertion opening 82A and the abutment portion 84. The portion of the rotation support portion 82B that abuts against the bottle holder 60 is formed in a round shape, so that the bottle holder 60 can rotate while sliding on the rotation support portion 82B. The holding portion 82 has a convex hook portion 86 formed above the abutting portion 84, the hook portion 86 protruding in the front-rear direction.

[0038] In this embodiment, two bottle holders 60 are supported by one joint member 66, but a configuration in which one bottle holder 60 is supported may also be used. In this case, the joint member 66 does not include the second front-rear regulating portion 72, but includes two front-rear regulating portions 70 and a left-right regulating portion 74 having two claw portions 80.

[0039] [1-2-4. Bottle holder configuration] Next, the bottle holder 60 will be described with reference mainly to Figures 3 and 4. In Figure 5, the bottle holder 60 in an upright position is shown by dashed lines. The two bottle holders 60 provided on one joint member 66 have the same configuration, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted where appropriate. In addition, the other bottle holder 60 provided opposite one bottle holder 60 in the left-right direction has a symmetrical configuration in the left-right direction, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted where appropriate. Note that the bottle holder 60 corresponds to an example of a holder.

[0040] The bottle holder 60 can be in two states. The prone position is a position in which the bottle holder 60 lies prone on the bottom of the dish basket 20 as shown in Fig. 3. The upright position is a position in which the bottle holder 60 stands vertically relative to the bottom of the dish basket 20 as shown in Fig. 4.

[0041] The bottle holder 60 is formed so as to branch into two at a tip end 96 corresponding to the upper end of the bottle holder 60 in an upright position. The bottle holder 60 is composed of a first thread body 62A on one side and a second thread body 62B on the other side. The first thread body 62A and the second thread body 62B are formed symmetrically with respect to the central plane in the short side direction of the bottle holder 60. In this embodiment, the first thread body 62A and the second thread body 62B are formed by bending a single thread body.

[0042] The bottle holder 60 has base portions 88 on both ends, which are inserted into the holding portions 82 of the joint members 66. A portion of the tip side of the base portions 88 is bent in the horizontal direction of the bottle holder 60 in the upright position, to form holder contact portions 90. The holder contact portions 90 come into contact with the contact portions 84 of the holding portions 82 (see FIG. 5). Each of the holder contact portions 90 is bent in the direction opposite to the direction in which the bottle holder 60 lies flat.

[0043] In the following, the base portion 88, the convex portion 92, and the concave portion 94 of the bottle holder 60 will be described based on the bottle holder 60 in the prone position shown in FIG. The bottle holder 60 has a convex portion 92 formed by rising from the base 88 above the position where the base 88 and the holding portion 82 abut and extending horizontally. The bottle holder 60 further has a concave portion 94 formed by rising below the convex portion 92 and extending horizontally.

[0044] The concave portion 94 is formed so that one of the longitudinal bottom portions 24B is located below the concave portion 94. It can also be said that the concave portion 94 is formed by bulging out from the convex portion 92 downward in the prone position. The concave portion 94 abuts against the longitudinal bottom portion 24B in the prone position. This makes it possible to stabilize the prone position of the bottle holder 60.

[0045] Bottle holder 60 has a tip portion 96 that rises upward from concave portion 94. With reference to Fig. 4, when viewed from bottle holder 60 in an upright position, tip portion 96 is bent in the direction in which bottle holder 60 lies down. Tip portion 96 is formed in a substantially C-shape.

[0046] A bridging portion 100 that connects the first and second strands 62A and 62B is formed at the lower portion of the tip portion 96. The bridging portion 100 is a part of the strands that constitute the bottle holder 60, and is integral with the first and second strands 62A and 62B. The bridging portion 100 is formed at the bottom of the tip portion 96, but its position can be changed as appropriate within a range that does not interfere with tableware placed in the holder opening 98 between the first and second strips 62A and 62B. For example, the bridging portion 100 may be provided at the position of the base portion 88. In this case, the bridging portion 100 may be formed of a strip separate from the first and second strips 62A and 62B that are formed by bending a single strip.

[0047] [1-2. Effects, etc.] [1-2-1. Holding of cylindrical object to be purified] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing a state in which the bottle 102 is tilted outward. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a state in which the bottle 102 is tilted inward. The outside refers to the outside of the dishware basket 20, and the inside refers to the inside of the dishware basket. In Figs. 6 and 7, the support pins 32 are omitted for the sake of explanation. In Figs. 6 and 7, the bottle 102 is shown by virtual lines. In Figs. 6 and 7, the front bottle holder 60 is in a prone position, and the rear bottle holder 60 is in an upright position.

[0048] The bottle holder 60 in the upright position holds the bottle 102 as shown in Fig. 2, Fig. 6, and Fig. 7. In this embodiment, the bottle 102 will be described as an example of a cylindrical object to be cleaned. The bottle 102 is a water bottle with a bottle lid that screws onto the bottle 102 removed. The cylindrical object to be cleaned is a cylindrical dish, such as a tall cup, a baby bottle, or a glass bottle.

[0049] As shown in Fig. 6, when the bottle 102 is tilted inward, the holder opening 98 side of the tip portion 96 abuts against the inner wall of the bottle 102. As shown in Fig. 7, when the bottle 102 is tilted outward, the bridge portion 100 side of the tip portion 96 abuts against the inner wall of the bottle 102.

[0050] In this way, since the tip 96 of the bottle holder 60 is bent into a substantially C-shape, it is possible to prevent the bottle 102 supported by the bottle holder 60 from tilting. Therefore, the liquid sprayed from the spray nozzle 14 located below the bottle holder 60 reaches the back of the bottle 102, thereby improving the efficiency of cleaning the bottle 102.

[0051] 2, the height of the bottle holder 60 in the upright position is greater than that of the support pins 32, so that the bottle holder 60 can support a cylindrical object to be cleaned that is greater than the height of the support pins 32. Thus, the bottle holder 60 of this embodiment is particularly suitable for holding a water bottle or the like that is relatively larger than a general cup and cannot be held by the support pins 32.

[0052] The upright position of the bottle holder 60 corresponds to a state in which the opening 102A of the bottle 102 held by the bottle holder 60 faces downward. More specifically, the upright position corresponds to a state in which the inclination of the bottle 102 can be maintained so that the vertical projection of the bottom surface 102B of the bottle 102 held by the bottle holder 60 overlaps with the vertical projection of the opening 102A of the bottle 102. Thus, the upright position does not mean that the angle between the surface constituting the bottom of the dish basket 20 and the bottle holder 60 is 90 degrees.

[0053] [1-2-2. Flat type object to be purified] 8 is a diagram showing a pair of bottle holders 60. Each of the pair of opposing bottle holders 60 is in a prone position. Here, the prone position of the bottle holder 60 is a position in which the bottle holder 60 can hold flat objects to be purified. In the prone position, the bottle holder 60 abuts against a member constituting the bottom of the dish basket 20. Thus, the prone position does not mean that the surface constituting the bottom of the dish basket 20 and the bottle holder 60 are completely parallel.

[0054] 8, by arranging a pair of bottle holders 60 so as to face each other in the downward direction, the cutting board 104 can be placed in an upright state relative to the bottom of the dish basket 20. In this embodiment, the cutting board 104 will be described as an example of a flat object to be washed. The cutting board 104 is inserted through the holder opening 98 between the first and second members 62A and 62B, and is held in contact with at least one of the convex portion 92 and the tip portion 96 of the bottle holder 60. The lower portion of the cutting board 104 is held in contact with the short bottom portion 22B. In addition to the cutting board 104, the bottle holder 60 can hold low-height objects to be washed that correspond to flat objects to be washed, such as flat dishes, pot lids, and shallow bowls.

[0055] Further, the cutting board 104 is formed across the width of a pair of bottle holders 60, but is not limited thereto. For example, one bottle holder 60 may hold a flat object to be washed that is less than half the size of the cutting board 104.

[0056] The width between the first and second strips 62A and 62B is formed so that the cutting board 104 can be inserted therethrough. Furthermore, the width is smaller than the distance between adjacent longitudinal strips 24B. The width between the first and second strips 62A and 62B can be changed as appropriate as long as the bottle holder 60 can be inserted through the bottle 102 and the cutting board 104 or other flat object to be washed can be held.

[0057] The width of the first and second stripes 62A and 62B corresponds to at least one of the width between the pair of convex portions 92 and the width of the holder opening 98 at the tip portion 96. Therefore, even if the bridging portion 100 extending in the front-rear direction is omitted and the position where the first and second stripes 62A and 62B are connected is narrow, the bottle holder 60 may be capable of holding a flat-shaped object to be washed.

[0058] Although the bottle holder 60 is formed integrally with the first and second strips 62A and 62B, the bottle holder 60 may be formed by connecting two separate strips with one more strip. In other words, the bridging portion 100 may be omitted, and the bottle holder 60 may be bridged with one or more other strips.

[0059] In addition, since the concave portion 94 abuts against the short bottom portion 22B, interference between the bottle holder 60 and components such as the spray nozzle 14 provided below the dishware basket 20 can be suppressed. Depending on the angle of the lying position of the bottle holder 60 determined by the shape of the concave portion 94, the bending shape of the tip portion 96 can be appropriately changed within the range where the bottle holder 60 does not interfere with components provided below the dishware basket 20.

[0060] [1-2-3. Joint materials] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the joint member 66 is fixed to the dish basket 20 by covering the long bottom portion 24B from above with the front-to-rear regulating portion 70 and the second front-to-rear regulating portion 72, and by covering the short bottom portion 22B from below with the left-to-right regulating portion 74.

[0061] 5, holder abutment portion 90 of bottle holder 60 abuts against abutment portion 84 of joint member 66 when in the upright position, and maintains the upright position of bottle holder 60 together with abutment portion 84. Even if a force acts on bottle holder 60 in the upright position in a downward direction, base portion 88 hooks onto hook portion 86 formed above abutment portion 84, so that bottle holder 60 can maintain the upright position.

[0062] That is, even if liquid sprayed from spray nozzle 14 splashes on bottle 102 held in bottle holder 60 and stress is applied to bottle holder 60 via bottle 102, bottle holder 60 can maintain the upright position. However, if the user applies stress in a direction in which bottle holder 60 is prone, it can change from the upright position to the prone position.

[0063] Further, the front-rear regulating portion 70 is formed so as to cover a position away from the intersection 36, and further, both ends of the left-right regulating portion 74 are formed so as to cover a position away from the intersection 36. As a result, a space is left at the intersection 36 surrounded by the front-rear regulating portion 70 and the left-right regulating portion 74 in the bottom of the dish basket 20, so that other members can be attached to the space, and the space can be effectively utilized. In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, a support pin joint member 34 that supports the second longitudinal beam 24A is disposed at the intersection 36 in the space.

[0064] [1-3. Effects] As described above, the dishwasher 1 in this embodiment comprises a dish basket 20, a joint member 66 (support member) attached to the dish basket 20, and a bottle holder 60 (holder) supported by the joint member 66 so as to be freely rotatable between an upright position and a prone position. The bottle holder 60 is formed with a bridging portion 100 connecting the first body 62A and the second body 62B and can hold a bottle 102 (a cylindrical object to be washed). The first body 62A and the second body 62B are formed so that, in the upright position, they can enter the interior through the opening 102B (mouth) of the bottle 102 and hold the bottle 102 upright, and in the prone position, they are formed so that a cutting board 104 (an object to be washed other than a cylindrical object to be washed) can be held in the holder opening 98 between the first body 62A and the second body 62B.

[0065] According to this configuration, the bottle holder 60 can take an upright position and a prone position. Therefore, it can hold cylindrical objects to be cleaned of various shapes and can be used for purposes other than holding objects to be cleaned other than cylindrical objects to be cleaned.

[0066] In addition, the bottle holder 60 in the prone position may be formed so as to abut against the short bottom portion 22B which is a member constituting the bottom of the dish basket 20.

[0067] According to this configuration, the bottle holder 60 can be maintained in a prone position and the rotation of the bottle holder 60 can be restricted.

[0068] In addition, at least one convex portion 92 may be provided that is formed to rise upward in the prone position.

[0069] According to this configuration, the convex portion 92 allows the bottle holder 60 in the prone position to stably hold the flat object to be cleaned.

[0070] In addition, the first and second rails 62A and 62B may include a base 88 connected to the joint member 66, and a convex portion 92 formed so as to rise upward from the base 88 in the prone position and extend horizontally.

[0071] According to this configuration, the convex portion 92 formed in a convex shape from the base portion 88 allows the bottle holder 60 in the prone position to more stably hold the flat object to be cleaned.

[0072] In addition, the first and second bodies 62A and 62B may have a concave portion 94 formed to extend downward and horizontally from the tip of the convex portion 92 in the prone position, and a tip portion 96 rising upward from the tip of the concave portion 94.

[0073] According to this configuration, the concave portion 94 abuts against the short strip 22B of the dish basket 20, thereby maintaining the bottle holder 60 in a prone position and restricting the rotation of the bottle holder 60. In addition, the tip portion 96 can maintain the bottle 102 in an upright position, making it easier to wash the bottle 102.

[0074] In addition, a pair of bottle holders 60 and joint members 66 may be provided, and the pair of bottle holders 60 and joint members 66 may be arranged symmetrically on the tableware basket 20 in the left-right direction or the front-back direction.

[0075] According to this configuration, the pair of bottle holders 60 can hold a flat object to be washed, such as the cutting board 104, more stably.

[0076] In addition, the dish basket 20 equipped with the bottle holder 60 of this embodiment is supported by a joint member 66 attached to the dish basket 20 so as to be freely rotatable between an upright position and a lying position, and is formed with a first strip body 62A and a second strip body 62B, and can hold a bottle 102, the first strip body 62A and the second strip body 62B being formed so that in the upright position they can enter the interior of the bottle 102 through the opening 102A and hold the bottle 102 upright, and in the lying position they are formed so that the cutting board 104 can be held between the first strip body 62A and the second strip body 62B.

[0077] According to this configuration, the bottle holder 60 can take an upright position and a prone position. Therefore, it can hold cylindrical objects to be cleaned of various shapes and can be used for purposes other than holding objects to be cleaned other than cylindrical objects to be cleaned.

[0078] (Other embodiments) As described above, the above embodiment has been described as an example disclosed in this application. However, the technology in this disclosure is not limited to this, and can be applied to embodiments in which modifications, substitutions, additions, omissions, etc. are made. In addition, it is also possible to combine the components described in the above embodiment to form a new embodiment. Therefore, other embodiments will be exemplified below.

[0079] The first and second stripes 62A and 62B are configured to be formed symmetrically with respect to the central plane in the short side direction of the bottle holder 60, but they do not have to be symmetrical. For example, the convex portions 92 do not have to have the same shape, and the first and second stripes 25A and 25B may have different shapes as long as they are shapes capable of holding flat objects to be cleaned. Furthermore, the number of convex portions 92 may not be one, but may be multiple. Although the bottle holder 60 is formed with two strips, it may be configured with three, four or more strips by welding another strip. In the above embodiment, the bottle holder 60 has two strips, i.e., the first strip 62A and the second strip 62B formed by bending one strip, but it may be formed by connecting two strips.
