ABSTRACT:
A dishwasher having a unique racking system mounted therein is provided. The dish racking system includes a lower rack having a side wall extending substantially higher than the front, rear and other side walls to define a protective barrier between a side panel of the washing chamber and various large articles placed adjacent the side wall for washing. An upper rack is supported above the lower rack. The upper rack has a bottom support means including at least one upwardly stepped portion adjacent the high side wall of the lower rack. A pivotal shelf is located generally intermediate the bottom support wall and the upper edge of the high side wall of the lower rack. A pivotal shelf can be similarly provided in the upper rack. Attachable to either the lower or upper rack is a divider means. The divider means includes means for pivotally mounting a pair of the divider means on the bottom wall of either the upper or lower racks. Each of the divider means includes a first plurality of pegs and a second plurality of pegs. The first plurality of pegs has a peg configuration and spacing for supporting a first type of dishes. The second plurality of pegs has a peg configuration and spacing for supporting a second type of dishes. The pair of divider means are pivotal between a first and a second position for selectively supporting either the first or second types of dishes.
