The plurality of inserts include a horizontally displaceable disposed on the frame so as to be horizontally displaceable in a direction perpendicular to a direction of withdrawal of the cutlery drawer and a vertically displaceable insert disposed on the frame so as to be vertically displaceable. The horizontally displaceable insert has longitudinal sides extending in the direction of withdrawal of the cutlery drawer and is disposed on the frame so as to be vertically displaceable at one of the longitudinal sides. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A cutlery drawer for a dishwasher comprising: a frame extendably supported within a washing tub; a plurality of inserts which are movably disposed on the frame and are configured to hold dishware items to be washed, the plurality of inserts including: a horizontally displaceable insert having longitudinal sides extending in the direction of withdrawal of the cutlery drawer, the horizontally displaceable insert being disposed on the frame so as to be horizontally displaceable in a direction perpendicular to a direction of withdrawal of the cutlery drawer and so as to be vertically displaceable at one of the longitudinal sides; and a vertically displaceable insert disposed on the frame so as to be vertically displaceable. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The cutlery drawer as recited in claim 1, wherein the frame includes front and rear sides and has a frame wire at each of the front and rear sides, the frame wire including a guide track for the horizontally displaceable insert, at least a portion of a path of the guide track having a vertical component. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The cutlery drawer as recited in claim 1, wherein the frame includes front and rear sides and has a frame wire at each of the front and rear sides, the frame wire at least partially sloping in a plane extending vertically to the direction of withdrawal of the cutlery drawer. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The cutlery drawer as recited in claim 1, wherein when the longitudinal side of the horizontally displaceable insert is in a vertically lowered position, the insert forms an angle of inclination of from 15° to 20° with the horizontal. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The cutlery drawer as recited in claim 1, wherein the longitudinal side has a handle. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The cutlery drawer as recited in claim 2, wherein the guide track has a motion-limiting stop. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The cutlery drawer as recited in claim 1, further comprising another horizontally displaceable insert disposed on the frame. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The cutlery drawer as recited in claim 1, wherein the vertically displaceable insert is disposed on the frame between two horizontally displaceable inserts. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The cutlery drawer as recited in claim 1, wherein the horizontally displaceable insert is disposed on the frame so as to be movable over the vertically displaceable insert. ### Claim 10 A dishwasher comprising: a washing tub that provides a washing chamber; and a cutlery drawer extendably disposed in the washing tub, the cutlery drawer including a frame extendably supported within the washing tub and a plurality of inserts which are movably disposed on the frame and are configured to hold dishware items to be washed, the plurality of inserts including: a horizontally displaceable insert having longitudinal sides extending in the direction of withdrawal of the cutlery drawer, the horizontally displaceable insert being disposed on the frame so as to be horizontally displaceable in a direction perpendicular to a direction of withdrawal of the cutlery drawer and so as to be vertically displaceable at one of the longitudinal sides; and a vertically displaceable insert disposed on the frame so as to be vertically displaceable. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The dishwasher as recited in claim 10, wherein the frame includes front and rear sides and has a frame wire at each of the front and rear sides, the frame wire including a guide track for the horizontally displaceable insert, at least a portion of a path of the guide track having a vertical component. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The dishwasher as recited in claim 10, wherein the frame includes front and rear sides and has a frame wire at each of the front and rear sides, the frame wire at least partially sloping in a plane extending vertically to the direction of withdrawal of the cutlery drawer. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The dishwasher as recited in claim 10, wherein when the longitudinal side of the horizontally displaceable insert is in a vertically lowered position, the insert forms an angle of inclination of from 15° to 20° with the horizontal. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The dishwasher as recited in claim 10, wherein the longitudinal side has a handle. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The dishwasher as recited in claim 11, wherein the guide track has a motion-limiting stop. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The dishwasher as recited in claim 10, further comprising another horizontally displaceable insert disposed on the frame. ### Claim 17 (depends on 10) The dishwasher as recited in claim 10, wherein the vertically displaceable insert is disposed on the frame between two horizontally displaceable inserts. ### Claim 18 (depends on 10) The dishwasher as recited in claim 10, wherein the horizontally displaceable insert is disposed on the frame so as to be movable over the vertically displaceable insert.
