[0001] The present invention relates to a dishwasher comprising a bottle holder.
[0002] In dishwashers, the washing process is realized by spraying the water received from
the main delivery line onto the dishes by means of spray arms. The spraying members
provided on the spray arm enable the water to be sprayed onto the dishes at a certain
pressure. The flow rate and pressure of the sprayed water are critical in terms of
cleaning of the dishes. In the dishwashers, washing areas are formed to clean heavy
stains. Additional spraying members are used to clean the stains in the washing areas.
The kitchen items placed onto the rack are cleaned with water pressure and detergent.
Therefore, the layout of the dishes on the rack is important to perform a highly-efficient
washing process. Especially tall kitchen items such as bottles and glasses with a
narrow mouth cannot contact water and thus, cannot be cleaned. Therefore, a plurality
of arrangement apparatuses are used in dishwashers. However, the arrangement apparatuses
occupy additional space and decrease the usable volume of the rack. When not in use,
the arrangement apparatuses prevent the proper arrangement.
[0003] In the state of the art Patent Document No.
EP2332458, a dishwasher is disclosed, comprising a foldable bottle holder apparatus.
[0004] The aim of the present invention is the realization of a dishwasher which provides
ease of use.
[0005] The dishwasher realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated
in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a body; a washing
tub which is disposed in the body, wherein the washing process is performed; at least
one rack which is disposed in the washing tub; a plurality of plate holder wires which
enable the placement of items onto the rack; and at least one spraying member which
sprays water onto the racks. The kitchen items to be washed are placed onto the rack.
By means of the plate holder wires, the kitchen items are fixed onto the rack. The
water is delivered onto the dishes by means of the spraying member. Consequently,
the cleaning process is performed.
[0006] The dishwasher of the present invention comprises a bottle holder wire which is disposed
in place of at least one plate holder wire in the same row. The plate holder wire
and the bottle holder wire in the same row are used alternately. Thus, the bottle
holder wire remains between the kitchen items and does not occupy space when not in
use.
[0007] In an embodiment of the present invention, the dishwasher comprises the bottle holder
wire having a placement position and an idle position. When the bottle holder wire
is in the placement position, the plate holder wire extends parallel to the base of
the rack. When the bottle holder wire is in the idle position, the plate holder wire
extends perpendicular to the base of the rack, suitable for the placement of items
thereon.
[0008] In an embodiment of the present invention, the dishwasher comprises the bottle holder
wire which is used as plate holder wire when in the idle position. When the bottle
holder wire is in the idle position, the edge thereof perpendicular to the base of
the rack is used as the plate holder, suitable for bearing plates against the same.
[0009] In an embodiment of the present invention, the dishwasher comprises the U-shaped
bottle holder wire. By means of the U shape of the bottle holder wire, the kitchen
items with a narrow mouth such as bottle, glass, etc. can be fixed. When in the placement
position, the bottle holder wire is in the form of a reverse U. When in the idle position,
the bottle holder wire is recumbent. Thus, the kitchen items such as plate, etc. can
bear against the same.
[0010] In an embodiment of the present invention, the dishwasher comprises a gripping member
which is disposed next to the bottle holder wire. The items placed such as glass,
bottle, etc. is positioned between the bottle holder wire and the gripping member.
Thus, the kitchen items are prevented from being scattered.
[0011] By means of the present invention, a dishwasher which provides ease of use is realized.
By means of the bottle holder wires, the kitchen items with a narrow mouth such as
bottle, glass, etc. are easily placed. When not in use, the bottle holder wire can
be used as plate holder, preventing any decrease in the area of use.
[0012] A dishwasher realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention is illustrated
in the attached figures, where:
Figure 1 - is the perspective view of the dishwasher.
Figure 2 - is the partial view of the rack when the bottle holder wire is in the idle
position.
Figure 3 - is the perspective view of the rack when the bottle holder wire is in the
placement position.
[0013] The elements illustrated in the figures are numbered as follows:
- 1. Dishwasher
- 2. Body
- 3. Washing tub
- 4. Rack
- 5. Plate holder wire
- 6. Spraying member
- 7. Bottle holder wire
- 8. Gripping member
[0014] The dishwasher (1) comprises a body (2); a washing tub (3) which is arranged in the
body (2) and wherein the washing process is realized; at least one rack (4) which
is disposed in the washing tub (3) and whereon the dishes to be washed are placed;
a plurality of plate holder wires (5) which are provided on the rack (4) and which
enable the kitchen items to be fixed on the rack (4); and at least one spraying member
(5) which enables the water to be sprayed onto the rack (4) and the kitchen items
to be cleaned. By means of the plate holder wire (5), the kitchen items are regularly
placed and fixed on the rack (4). By means of the spraying member (6), the water is
sprayed onto the kitchen items, performing the cleaning process.
[0015] The dishwasher (1) of the present invention comprises the rack (4) having a bottle
holder wire (7) which is disposed in place of at least one plate holder wire (5) in
the same row, wherein the plate holder wire (5) and the bottle holder wire (7) in
the same row are used alternately by rotating around the horizontal axis. The rack
(4) comprises the bottle holder wire (7) in place of at least one plate holder wire
(5) in the same row. The bottle holder wire (7) and the plate holder wire (5) in the
same row are used alternately by rotating around the horizontal axis. Thus, the bottle
holder wire (7) does not occupy space on the rack (4) when not in use.
[0016] In an embodiment of the present invention, the dishwasher (1) comprises the bottle
holder wire (7) having a placement position wherein the plate holder wire (5) is parallel
