ABSTRACT:
A silverware basket for use in a dishwasher for holding silverware during washing, rinsing and drying operations. The basket has side walls extending upwardly from a generally perforate bottom wall. The bottom wall comprises an open grid formed by a plurality of intersecting undulating ribs. Each rib comprises rib portions extending between points of intersection which are slanted relative to the horizontal and also relative to adjacent rib portions such that each point of intersection is vertically displaced relative to each adjacent point of intersection, so as to provide an uneven bottom surface which reduces silverware nesting, improves drainage from the basket, and provides a relatively large open area for admitting wash water through the bottom wall into the basket. Short upwardly extending pins are distributed along each rib, each being positioned approximately midway between adjacent points of intersection, to further impede sliding and induce separation of silverware items in the basket.
