Drip Shield For A Drawer-Type Dishwasher

View page
US Patent:
7678202, Mar 16, 2010
Filed:
Apr 20, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/407117
Inventors:
Rodney M. Welch - Beach Bluff TN, US
Thomas J. Wuestefeld - Jackson TN, US
Assignee:
Maytag Corporation - Benton Harbor MI
International Classification:
B08B 9/20
US Classification:
134 58D, 134 57 D
Abstract:
A drip shield is mounted to a drawer of a drawer-type dishwasher so as to extend along an outer rear surface of the drawer and catch droplets of washing fluid falling from a lid of the dishwasher. The drip shield includes a shelf that extends between up-turned wall portions. The shelf is angled away from the tub so that any droplets of washing fluid that may fall onto the drip shield will migrate away from the drawer. The shelf is also formed such that first and second end portions are positioned higher than a central or intermediate portion. This construction forces the droplets of washing fluid to collect in a centralized drain point from where the droplets of water can be guided to a controlled location.

Wash/Rinse System For A Drawer-Type Dishwasher

US Patent:
7695571, Apr 13, 2010
Filed:
Aug 9, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/500997
Inventors:
Dennis J. Purtilo - Newton IA, US
Timothy P. Schwartz - Buford GA, US
Thomas J. Wuestefeld - Jackson TN, US
Assignee:
Maytag Corporation - Benton Harbor MI
International Classification:
B08B 3/00
A47L 15/42
B05B 1/26
US Classification:
134 56D, 134 57 D, 134 58 D, 239498, 239159
Abstract:
A wash/rinse system for a drawer-type dishwasher includes a wash mechanism having a paddlewheel and a spray bar mounted in a washing chamber of the dishwasher. The spray bar includes at least one nozzle that is positioned so as to deliver a jet of washing fluid onto a deflector member provided on the paddlewheel. Upon impacting the deflector member, the jet of washing fluid diverges into streams of washing fluid which are sprayed onto articles positioned in the washing chamber. Preferably, the spray bar includes a plurality of nozzles which direct multiple jets of washing fluid onto a corresponding plurality of deflector members. The paddlewheel is mounted so as to create random streams of washing fluid that are sprayed into the washing chamber to combine with washing fluid emanating from a lower wash arm to clean articles in the washing chamber.

Filed:
Aug 9, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/501003
Inventors:
Michael C. Simmons - Moscow TN, US
Thomas J. Wuestefeld - Jackson TN, US
Assignee:
Whirlpool Corporation - Benton Harbor MI
International Classification:
A47B 77/06
US Classification:
312228, 3123347, 3123344
Abstract:
A drawer glide assembly for a drawer type dishwasher includes a mounting bracket having a top edge portion, a bottom edge portion and side portions that collectively define first and second opposing surfaces. The mounting bracket also includes a pad member that projects laterally outward from the first surface and a hook member that projects laterally outward from the second surface. The glide assembly further includes a drawer glide unit having a first rail member slidably interconnected with a second rail member through a third rail member. The mounting bracket serves as an interface between a tub of the dishwasher and an outer housing. That is, the mounting bracket is supported upon the outer housing by the hook member and the glide assembly is secured to both the tub and the first surface. In this fashion, the tub can be readily shifted into and out from the outer housing.
