  • Publication number: 20090140619
    Abstract: A dishwasher machine with a device for loading crockery or cutlery, which enables the cutlery to be carefully placed in the washing container in an easily accessible, space-saving manner, is provided. A separate loading device or cutlery basket is provided in the crockery basket of the dishwasher machine that is at least partially integrated into the main loading plane of the crockery basket and is arranged on the crockery basket in such a way that it can be displaced between an inserted position and a loading position. As a result, the cutlery basket can be advantageously displaced independently of the crockery basket, and thus out of the washing container of the dishwasher, from the front, without the crockery basket itself having to be displaced, thus simplifying the loading or unloading of crockery or cutlery from the cutlery basket.

  • Publication number: 20080302397
    Abstract: A device for stacking cutlery pieces is provided by means of which cutlery pieces may be easily accessible and can be housed in a space-saving and tidy manner in the rinsing chamber of a dishwashing machine. The device provides reliable isolation and easy loading and unloading of cutlery pieces. A pivoting stacking device is arranged on an external side of the washing-up basket and includes a holder, in which at least one separate cutlery receptacle may be introduced, whereby the cutlery receptacle is characterised by particular aids for individual stacking of the cutlery pieces.

  • Publication number: 20080302399
    Abstract: A dishwasher includes a device for disposing pieces of silverware such that objects that are to be washed are, when placed in the washing receptacle of the dishwasher, disposed in a careful and easily accessible manner while keeping production costs low. The dishwasher includes at least one dish basket and a support area which can be coupled thereto and is used for placing objects that are to be washed. The support area can be locked onto the dish basket while being pivotable about an axis into different angles of inclination. At least one support element is arranged that supports the support area at different angles of inclination in a point located at a distance from the axis.

  • Publication number: 20070144562
    Abstract: A household appliance, in particular a domestic dishwasher machine, provided with a handle (2) and a part (1) which can be moved by the handle (2) is described, said part having a fastening means (13, 19, 20) whereby the handle (2) can be releasably connected to the movable part (1). The fixing means (13, 19, 20) is arranged and embodied in such a manner that the handle width of a handle (2) to be connected to the movable part (1) is variable.

  • Publication number: 20070039636
    Abstract: A dishwasher includes a device for placing pieces of silverware, which makes it possible to dispose the pieces of silverware in an easily accessible, compact, and careful manner in the washing compartment while keeping production costs low. The dishwasher includes a washing container, at least one crockery basket, and the device for receiving items to be washed, with the device being arranged on an exterior side of the crockery basket. The dishwasher has the advantage of requiring no additional tray for placing the pieces of silverware, thus reducing production costs. The inventive device for placing pieces of silverware is particularly suitable for use in a built-in dishwasher.

  • Patent number: 5736898
    Abstract: A process for linearizing the gain and phase-frequency characteristics of traveling-wave tubes and transistor amplifiers at different power levels is suggested, wherein the signal is divided between two branches and again united into the output signal, and in which the signal is divided between partial networks with compressing gain behavior, which are placed between two 3-dB couplers, and gain compression or gain expansion of the partial signals (E or K) is generated at two gates (KOMP, EXP) by the reflection behavior, which is different corresponding to the signal level, and the level of the nonlinear, gain-expanded partial signal (E) is raised by a linear amplifier (E2), and the additionally amplified, gain-expanded signal (E2) and the gain-compressed signal (K) are then united into the output signal with an adding network.

  • Patent number: 4338596
    Abstract: When the battery voltage is sufficient, and not nearing the point of insufficiency, a light-emitting diode is steadily illuminated. As the battery voltage decreases, the steady component of illumination decreases and also, when the decrease has proceeded to a certain extent, a superimposed pulsating component of illumination is introduced, causing the illuminated LED to begin to flicker, informing the user that the battery voltage is nearing insufficient values. As battery voltage drops further, the steady component of illumination ceases altogether, and the flicker converts to on-off blinking, indicating that the battery voltage is at the verge of an insufficient value. When the battery voltage drops fruther, the LED ceases to be illuminated. During part or all of the flicker phase, and/or during part or all of the blinking phase, the frequency of the pulsating component of illumination progressively increases with decreasing battery voltage, to create an effect of increasing urgency.
