Abstract

A dish rack ( 1 ) for dishwashers ( 2 ), the dish rack ( 1 ) having a grid-shaped rack base ( 4 ), which is formed from base webs ( 3 ), and side walls ( 5 ), the side walls ( 5 ) together with the rack base ( 4 ) surrounding a rack interior space ( 6 ) of the dish rack ( 1 ), and the rack base ( 4 ) and/or the side walls ( 5 ) having standing surfaces ( 8 ) on an underside ( 7 ) of the dish rack ( 1 ). These standing surfaces end in a standing plane ( 9 ) of the dish rack ( 1 ), and the base webs ( 3 ) have angled web regions ( 10 ) which, as seen in a sectional plane ( 11 ) orthogonal to the standing plane ( 9 ), are arranged at least in regions at an acute angle ( 12 ) to the standing plane ( 9 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A dish rack for dishwashers, the dish rack comprising:
 a grid-shaped rack base formed from base webs;   side walls connected to the rack base, the side walls together with the rack base surrounding a rack interior space of the dish rack;   at least one of the rack base or the side walls having standing surfaces on an underside of the dish rack, said standing surfaces ending in a standing plane of the dish rack; and   the base webs have angled web regions which, as seen in a sectional plane orthogonal to the standing plane, are arranged at least in regions at an acute angle to the standing plane.   
     
     
         2 . The dish rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the base webs, as seen in the sectional plane orthogonal to the standing plane, are angled at least in regions. 
     
     
         3 . The dish rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the base webs, as seen in the sectional plane orthogonal to the standing plane, further include orthogonal web regions above or below the angled web regions, and the orthogonal web regions, as seen in the sectional plane orthogonal to the standing plane, are arranged orthogonally to the standing plane. 
     
     
         4 . The dish rack as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein, as seen in the sectional plane orthogonal to the standing plane, one of the orthogonal web regions, merges directly into one of the angled web regions. 
     
     
         5 . The dish rack as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein, as seen in the sectional plane orthogonal to the standing plane, one of the orthogonal web regions encloses an obtuse angle with one of the angled web regions. 
     
     
         6 . The dish rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the angled web regions are arranged below the rack interior space. 
     
     
         7 . The dish rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the base webs ( 3 ) has a sequence of angled web regions along a longitudinal extent thereof. 
     
     
         8 . The dish rack as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the angled web regions which in each case follow one another in the sequence are arranged spaced apart from one another in a direction of the longitudinal extent of the base web. 
     
     
         9 . The dish rack as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the angled web regions of the respective base web are angled in directions differing from one another. 
     
     
         10 . An arrangement comprising a dishwasher and the dish rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the dish rack is arranged in the dishwasher and washing liquid nozzles of the dishwasher are arranged underneath the rack base, and a respective washing liquid dispensing direction of the respective washing liquid nozzle is directed toward the rack base. 
     
     
         11 . The arrangement of  claim 10 , wherein the washing liquid nozzles are arranged in a rotatably mounted washing arm of the dishwasher. 
     
     
         12 . A method for washing objects in a dishwasher, the method comprising:
 arranging said objects to be washed in the rack interior space of the dish rack as claimed in  claim 1 ;   washing the objects in the dishwasher with the dish rack arranged above washing liquid nozzles of the dishwasher;   spraying washing liquid out of the washing liquid nozzles through the rack base into the rack interior space, wherein some of the washing liquid is deflected by the angled web regions of the base webs into the rack interior space.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the washing liquid nozzles are arranged in a rotatably mounted washing arm of the dishwasher.
