  • Patent number: 7556231
    Abstract: A dishwasher accessory for securing various sizes of stemware in a stable and upright position over a vertical tine on a dishwasher rack. The accessory includes an elongated body that is longitudinally aligned and slides over a tine. Formed on the lower end of the body is a longitudinally aligned slot designed to allow the elongated body to fully extended and rest against the lower end of the tine and the rack's horizontal framework. A perpendicular aligned clamping member attaches to the elongated body and attaches at its opposite end to the central stem on a piece of stemware. The clamping member is designed to grasp and hold the stem on an inverted, vertical aligned piece of stemware placed on the rack. Formed on the proximal end of the clamping member is an octagonal-shaped socket opening designed to receive the upper neck section on the elongated body that is also octagonal in cross-section.
