Dishwasher

Abstract

A dishwasher which move a rack up and down by a simple structure. The rack is rotatably mounted to a frame by a plurality of rotary members and upper and lower hinge shafts. The frame is provided in a cavity to be moved forward and backward. A plurality of extension pieces upwardly extend from both sides of the frame. A stopper is provided on each of the extension pieces. Each of the rotary members is stopped by the stopper so that the rotary member is not forwardly rotated beyond a predetermined distance. A damper is mounted to an outer surface of each lower hinge shaft so that the rack is slowly moved toward the frame during a downward movement of the rack. A handle is provided at an upper portion of the rack so that both ends of the handle are rotatably mounted to both sides of the rack, thus allowing the rack to be easily moved upward.
