Abstract

A holder for arrangement on a washing basket of a dishwasher includes: a main body and a folding element which is arranged pivotably thereon, the folding element being transferable from a use position to a non-use position and vice versa. The main body has a recess which is open at an edge thereof to receive tubular washware. The folding element has an outer contour corresponding to an inner contour of the recess and, in the use, position at least partially fills the recess flush with a supporting surface provided by the main body.

Claims (44)

1. A holder for arrangement on a washing basket of a dishwasher, comprising:

a main body and a folding element which is arranged pivotably thereon, the folding element being transferable from a use position to a non-use position and vice versa,

wherein the main body has a recess which is open at an edge thereof to receive tubular washware,

wherein the folding element has an outer contour corresponding to an inner contour of the recess and, in the use, position at least partially fills the recess flush with a supporting surface provided by the main body, and

wherein the recess provides a peripheral edge, a contour of which runs along an ellipse.

2. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the main body has two coupling elements configured for height-adjustable and/or pivotable arrangement on the washing basket.

3. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the main body has a central portion and two legs accommodating the central portion between them.

4. The holder of claim 3 , wherein the folding element is arranged pivotably on the central portion.

5. The holder of claim 3 , wherein a coupling element is arranged on one leg of the two legs on a washing basket side.

6. The holder of claim 3 , wherein the two legs of the main body provide contact elements comprising a resilient material on a recess side.

7. The holder of claim 6 , wherein the contact elements provide a contact edge for tubular washware, and

wherein the contact edge has a corrugated profile.

8. The holder of claim 3 , wherein the central portion provides a support comprising a resilient material on a recess side.

9. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the folding element is lockable to the main body in the use position.

10. The holder of any claim 3 , wherein the folding element has a peripheral edge which is opposite the central portion of the main body and has two recesses arranged one behind another in a folding element longitudinal direction, each of the two recesses being configured to receive a stem of a stemmed glass or similar washware.

11. The holder of claim 10 , wherein the two recesses are each equipped with a clamping part which provides a clamping receptacle.

12. The holder of claim 11 , wherein the clamping parts of the recesses on an outside in a clamping element longitudinal direction are configured to interact with respectively associated contact elements of the main body.

13. A washing basket for a dishwasher, comprising:

the holder of claim 1 arranged or arrangeable thereon.

14. The holder of claim 6 , wherein the resilient material comprises silicone.

15. The holder of claim 8 , wherein the resilient material comprises silicone.

16. The holder of claim 11 , wherein the clamping parts comprise a clamping strip formed in one piece from a resilient material.

17. The holder of claim 16 , wherein the resilient material comprises silicone.

18. A holder for arrangement on a washing basket of a dishwasher, comprising:

a main body and a folding element which is arranged pivotably thereon, the folding element being transferable from a use position to a non-use position and vice versa,

wherein the main body has a recess which is open at an edge thereof to receive tubular washware,

wherein the folding element has an outer contour corresponding to an inner contour of the recess and, in the use, position at least partially fills the recess flush with a supporting surface provided by the main body,

wherein the main body has a central portion and two legs accommodating the central portion between them,

wherein the two legs of the main body provide contact elements comprising a resilient material on a recess side,

wherein the contact elements provide a contact edge for tubular washware, and

wherein the contact edge has a corrugated profile.

19. A holder for arrangement on a washing basket of a dishwasher, comprising:

a main body and a folding element which is arranged pivotably thereon, the folding element being transferable from a use position to a non-use position and vice versa,

wherein the main body has a recess which is open at an edge thereof to receive tubular washware,

wherein the folding element has an outer contour corresponding to an inner contour of the recess and, in the use, position at least partially fills the recess flush with a supporting surface provided by the main body,

wherein the main body has a central portion and two legs accommodating the central portion between them,

wherein the folding element has a peripheral edge which is opposite the central portion of the main body and has two recesses arranged one behind another in a folding element longitudinal direction, each of the two recesses being configured to receive a stem of a stemmed glass or similar washware,

wherein the two recesses are each equipped with a clamping part which provides a clamping receptacle, and

wherein the clamping parts of the recesses on an outside in a clamping element longitudinal direction are configured to interact with respectively associated contact elements of the main body.

20. A holder for arrangement on a washing basket of a dishwasher, comprising:

a main body and a folding element which is arranged pivotably thereon, the folding element being transferable from a use position to a non-use position and vice versa,

wherein the main body has a recess which is open at an edge thereof to receive tubular washware,

wherein the folding element has an outer contour corresponding to an inner contour of the recess and, in the use, position at least partially fills the recess flush with a supporting surface provided by the main body, and

wherein the recess provides a peripheral edge, a contour of which runs along an ellipse or a parabola.
