Abstract: A mechanism for securing items in a dishwasher rack includes a support member mounted on the rack, and a U-shaped contact member with the distal ends of the contact member rotatably connected to the support member. A spring is mounted on the support member and engages the ends of the contact member to urge the contact member into engagement with items in the dishwasher rack.

Abstract: A dishwashing machine includes a wash chamber and spray distribution mechanism to spray fluid over articles in the chamber. A recirculation sump at the bottom of the chamber receives fluid from the chamber and a first pump, driven by a relatively large motor, draws fluid from the sump and discharges it to the spray mechanism. A filter is positioned to remove soil particles from the recirculated fluid and a collection chamber collects filtered soil particles. The collection chamber is connected to a drain through a first one way valve. A drain pump, driven by a relatively small motor, is connected between the lower portion of the recirculation sump and the collection chamber. Another one way valve permits flow from the recirculation sump to the collection chamber while preventing reverse flow. Operation of the drain pump substantially completely evacuates fluid from the wash chamber and the sump through the collection chamber to the drain and concurrently discharges soil particles from the collection chamber to the drain.

Abstract: A door handle assembly of a household refrigerator having a stiffener member with an elongated body made of rigid metal in the shape of an upwardly open channel with spaced apart legs including a first section offset form a second section to act as the gripping section and having spaced apart fastener receiving apertures. The first section has a molded soft elastomeric covering on the outside with apertures in alignment with the apertures in the stiffener member. A first decorative trim member having an outer and inner side with a contour to receive the legs of the channel of the first section of the stiffener member and including side walls overlapping the upper edge of the legs and elastomeric covering. The trim member has an open upwardly facing recess area in the outer side with apertures in alignment with the apertures in the stiffener member. There is an enlarged metal plate dimensioned to be nested in the recess area of the decorative trim member and having threaded fastener receiving apertures in alignment with the apertures in the decorative trim member and stiffener member. A second decorative trim member with an upwardly open channel surrounds the base and both legs of the channel of the second section and has one end secured to the decorative trim covering the first section and the other end secured to a trim end cap. A downwardly open channel shaped member is secured to the upwardly open channel of the second decorative trim member. Threaded fasteners pass through the apertures and threadedly engage the fastener receiving aperture in the elongated metal plate to rigidly assemble the components together as a subassembly for installation on a refrigerator door.
