Abstract
A rack structure for an automatic dishwasher. The rack structure comprises a plurality of wire members welded together to form a rectangular, openwork rack having a bottom, upstanding front and rear walls and upwardly and outwardly sloping side walls. At least one pair of removable fences is provided, each fence comprising a plurality of upstanding wire members with a horizontal wire member welded thereto and spaced upwardly from the bottom ends thereof. Means are provided to removably mount the fences within the rack structure in parallel spaced relationship to each other and to the rack structure side walls. The fence mounting means may be so configured as to provide more than one predetermined position in which each fence may be mounted so as to render adjustable the distance between adjacent fences and the distance between each rack structure side wall and the adjacent one of the fences. Means may also be provided to lock each fence in its selected predetermined position in the fence mounting means. The wire members of the entire rack structure, including the removable fences, are coated with a protective plastic to prevent rust and corrosion thereof.
