ABSTRACT:
An open dishrack for a dishwasher has opposite sides formed of spaced apart elongated coated wires. A vertically adjustable shelf extends between the opposite sides. A pair of support plates include snap fittings which engage the wires to mount the plates on the sides in a facing relationship. Each plate includes an upper and a lower hub aligned with the corresponding hub of the other plate. The shelf includes projecting fingers which are received in a selected pair of hubs to rotatably mount the shelf in either an upper or a lower position. Each plate also includes a rib associated with each of its hubs to support the shelf in a generally horizontal orientation when the shelf is mounted in that hub. Each plate also includes a rib positioned to support the shelf in a generally vertical position when the shelf is mounted in the lower hubs. Each plate includes a cup or trunion positioned above its upper hub and a rod is received in the cups and extends across the dish rack to provide lateral support to items on the shelf and to support the shelf in a generally vertical orientation when the shelf is in its upper position.
