ADJUSTABLE RACK ASSEMBLY FOR A DISHWASHER BASKET

An adjustable rack assembly for a dishwasher basket, comprises a rack having a base bar and a plurality of holding bars that are fixedly attached to the base bar; and a bracket provided at each end of the base bar for connecting said rack to a bar of the dishwasher basket. The brackets are adapted to permit horizontal shifting thereof along the bars of the dishwasher basket. At least a first of the brackets has a spring biased clamp which in a released state prevents shifting of the bracket along the bar of the dishwasher basket. The first bracket has a plurality of abutment surfaces which in the released state of the first bracket are biased towards engagement thereof with the bar of the dishwasher basket. The engagement of the abutment surfaces with the bar of the dishwasher basket can be loosened by resilient deformation of said first bracket. L'invention porte sur un ensemble compartiment réglable pour un panier de lave-vaisselle, qui comprend un compartiment (12) ayant une barre de base (14) et une pluralité de barres de maintien (16) qui sont attachées de façon fixe à la barre de base ; et un support (18 ; 60 ; 80) disposé à chaque extrémité de la barre de base pour relier ledit compartiment à une barre (10) du panier de lave-vaisselle. Les supports (18 ; 60 ; 80) sont aptes à permettre un décalage horizontal de ceux-ci le long des barres (10) du panier de lave-vaisselle. L'ensemble compartiment comprend en outre un moyen de serrage libérable pour fixer la position des supports par rapport aux barres du panier de lave-vaisselle.
