An anchoring system for use with a device having a clean status indicator may include at least one first slide component having at least one slot and at least one second slide component disposed within the at least one slot configured to move in relation to the at least one first slide component along at least a first axis extending along a length of the at least one slot, a second axis extending along a width of the at least one slot, and a third axis extending perpendicular to the first axis and the second axis. At least one of the at least one first slide component and the at least one second slide component may be configured to be secured to at least one of the device and a rigid support structure immediately adjacent to the device to allow for a controlled degree of movement of the device along at least the first axis, the second axis, and the third axis.
MULTI-FACETED APPLIANCE HEIGHT-ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM
An appliance height-adjustment mechanism includes a support block having a plurality of supporting faces, a plurality of height-adjustment surfaces defined by at least a portion of the supporting faces of the support block, each height-adjustment surface being further defined by a lateral spacing flange extending perpendicularly from each height-adjustment surface and a plurality of support surfaces defined by at least a portion of the plurality of supporting faces, wherein each support surface corresponds to a cooperating height-adjustment surface of the plurality of height-adjustment surfaces, wherein the support block includes a plurality of support positions, and wherein each of the plurality of support positions is defined by one of the support surfaces being a respective base of the support block and the corresponding height-adjustment surface defining a dedicated appliance height above the respective base.
ASSEMBLY FOR LIFTING AND MECHANIZING MOVEMENT OF HOME APPLIANCES AND METHODS THEREOF
Provided is an appliance lift assembly, comprising a surface base, a support frame, a platform configured to support an appliance unit, such as a dishwasher, the platform being movable in relation to the support frame, and a lifting system mounted to the movable platform and mounted to the support frame, the lifting system moving the platform between an extended mode and a retracted mode, wherein the appliance lift assembly fit into standard built-in cabinet enclosure. Further provided is a method for elevating or lowering an appliance unit using a lifting system, the method comprising pulling a cable attached to a platform of the lift assembly supporting the appliance, lifting the movable platform by using a rotational or linear motion drive and by using a passive lifter, and stopping movement of the platform when a predetermined height is reached. A method for installing an appliance lift assembly is also provided.
DISHWASHER
A dishwasher is disclosed, which comprises a cabinet; a base forming a lower portion of the cabinet; and a support coupled to a coupling portion provided in the base, supporting the cabinet, wherein the coupling portion includes a hollow shaped coupling hole; and a plurality of first threads formed in the coupling hole, and the support includes a plurality of second threads engaged with the first threads; and a stopper formed to be protruded at a groove of the second thread.
Household appliance with adjustable pedestal
Provided herein is a household appliance with at least one pedestal comprising a threaded rod which can be screwed into a corresponding threaded hole in a base of the household appliance in a longitudinal direction in order to reach a desired effective height of the pedestal. A snap nut made of a resilient material is provided having a threaded bore with a diameter and a thread fitting to the threaded rod so that the snap nut can be screwed along the longitudinal extension of the threaded rod, the snap nut further comprising a slot having a width that is less than the diameter of the bore and which defines a lateral opening of the bore wherein the width of the slot and the resiliency of the material allows the snap nut to be snapped from the side onto the threaded rod.
Glassware and silverware steamer
A device for steaming utensils such as silverware and glassware includes a frame having side and bottom walls. The frame has an open upper end. A heating chamber containing at least one heating device is connected with and depends from the frame bottom wall. A fluid reservoir is arranged within the frame and rests on the frame bottom wall.
