A dishwasher rack assembly including a bottom wall formed of a first set of wire rods in parallel, uniform spaced relation to each other perpendicular a second set of wire rods in parallel, uniform spaced relation to each other, the first and second sets of wire members defining open, square lattice areas. One or more support members are coupled intermediate opposing wire rods of the first or second set within a selected lattice area. Each support member comprises an upwardly directed, support frame for optimally positioning the objects to be washed, the opposed ends thereof extending into mounting receivers that are adapted to be positionally coupled between opposed wire rods of the bottom wall of the dishwasher rack. |

1) A dishwasher rack assembly, comprising:
a dishwasher rack having a bottom wall formed of a plurality of spaced apart lateral rods crossed by longitudinal rods to define substantially open lattice areas, the rack further comprising side walls; and at least one support member adapted to be removably coupled to the bottom wall of the rack within a lattice area, the support member comprising: a support frame having a first and a second support legs in spaced relation to each other, each having top and bottom ends, the top ends of the support members being coupled to each other, the support frame defining a lateral and a longitudinal planes and a longitudinal axis; a first and second mounting receivers coupled to the lower portion of the first and second support leg respectively, the mounting receivers each having a generally U-shaped flanges having an inwardly directed apex and a pair of positioning arms extending outwardly therefrom, at least one of the positioning arms extending to an outward end which extends outwardly beyond the respective support leg, the mounting receiver further having an engaging end dimensioned to engage a rod within the lattice area, and at least the outward end extending beyond the support leg being a part of the engaging end; the support legs being resiliently deflectable towards each other, for selectably engaging and disengaging of the engaging ends with respective bottom wall rods, for coupling and de-coupling of the support member to the rack bottom wall. |
