Abstract: A rack assembly for supporting dishes in a dishwasher may comprise a wire frame rack having a plurality of wire elements and a trim assembly having at least one trim element and at least one tolerance adjuster mounted to the wire frame rack. The at least one trim element and the at least one tolerance adjuster may cooperate to alter the effective length of the trim assembly.

Abstract: A removable track stop for a dishwasher track movably carrying a dishrack. The track stop has a hollow sleeve that fits into the end of a generally C-shaped track and has a grip that extends from the sleeve and the end of the track. A movable lock member in the sleeve and grip has a lock button extending beyond the grip for actuation by a user at one end. The lock member has locking arms extending from the other end of the lock member inside the sleeve. The locking arms include locking prongs that project through openings in the hollow sleeve and engage locking slots in the upper and lower legs of the C-shaped track to lock the track stop to the track. Pressing on the lock button causes the locking prongs to be withdrawn from the locking slots in the track allowing the track stop to be removed.

Abstract: Dishwasher dispensing structure consisting of a reservoir for storing a supply of additive and having an outlet opening to the wash chamber, a cover movably mounted relative to the reservoir between a) a closed position wherein the cover prevents escape of additive from the reservoir outlet into the wash chamber and b) an open position permitting the reservoir outlet to be in communication with the wash chamber, a trigger mounted movably to the dishwasher between a cover block position and a cover release position, with structure on the trigger for maintaining the cover in the closed position with the trigger in its blocked position and releasing the cover to its open position with the trigger in its cover release position, a cover release member, structure driven by the timer mechanism for moving the cover release member through a first prescribed path in response to operation of the timer mechanism as the dishwasing apparatus is cycled and moving the cover release member in a first direction through a porti

Abstract: Dishwasher dispensing structure consisting of a reservoir for storing a supply of additive and having an outlet, a cover mounted for movement relative to the reservoir between (a) a closed position and (b) an open position, a trigger mounted movably between a cover block position and a cover release position for selectively maintaining the cover in its closed position and releasing the cover to its open position, a cover release member movable by the timer mechanism through a first prescribed path in response to operation of the timer mechanism in a first direction through a portion of the path during one portion of the operating cycle and to retrace the path portion in a second, opposite direction during another portion of the cycle, trigger moving structure movable in a third path as the cover release member moves through the one portion of the cycle and in a fourth path that substantially retraces the third path as the cover release member moves in the another portion of the cycle, and cooperating structur
