Abstract (en)
The present invention provides a dishwasher anti-splash device (20). The device (20) at least comprises at least one attachment point (3, 4) for attaching the device (20) to an inner surface of a door (14) of a dishwasher (10), and a water-impermeable membrane (22) having a depth (d) of at least 150 mm in a first dimension away from the at least one attachment point (3, 4). The water-impermeable membrane (22) is able to bridge a gap between the top of the dishwasher door (14) and the top of a main body portion (12) of the dishwasher as the door is opened. Thus if the door of the dishwasher is accidentally or deliberately opened during operation of the dishwasher, a person standing in front of the door is protected from being splashed with water from within the dishwasher until the flow of water has at least partially died down as a result of the operation of the dishwasher being interrupted. The invention also provides a dishwasher comprising such a dishwasher anti-splash device and a method of operating a dishwasher using such a dishwasher anti-splash device to protect against splashes in case the door of the dishwasher is accidentally or deliberately opened during operation of the dishwasher.
