DISHWASHER RACK WITH MOVABLE FENCE

摘要

DISHWASHER RACK WITH MOVABLE FENCE A rack in a household dishwasher has a folding fence movable between a folded position adjacent the bottom of the rack and an erect or operating position. The fence has a base wire extending along the bottom of the rack and a plurality of projecting wires or pins extending upwardly therefrom. The fence is mounted on a plurality of brackets which snap over lateral wires on the rack at a bend therein so that the brackets are secured against rotation. The brackets provide a journal bearing to allow the base wire of the fence to both rotate and move axially, and the brackets also provide a detent in the form of a U-shaped wall member which engages one of the projecting wires by axial movement of the fence to hold the fence in the upright position.
