ABSTRACT:
A dishwasher lid assembly (1) is disclosed which includes a lid having upper (2) and lower (3) portions. The lid (2,3) is pivotally supported by a hinge shaft (4) above a sink (8). A hinge spring (5) surrounds the shaft (4) and biases the lid (2,3) to an open configuration. A latch can be used to retain the lid (2,3) closed. The shaft (4) and spring (5) are located within a hinge cover (9) below which is an air vent (6) arranged to permit vapor and/or air within the sink (8) to escape, thus preventing a build-up of pressure under the lid (2,3).
