## Abstract

A device for cleaning trays comprises a tub that has a bottom and a wall. The tub is dimensioned such that a baking tray can be placed therein. The device further comprises a dish drain that can be placed in the tub. Said device for cleaning a baking tray uses only a small amount of space in a kitchen and is easy to handle. In fact, in a typical kitchen that already has a dish drain, the device requires no additional space.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device for cleaning baking trays, comprising a tub with a tub base and a tub wall, wherein the tub is dimensioned in such a manner that a baking tray can be placed into the tub, and a drainage rack which can be inserted into the tub, characterized in that in a first orientation of the drainage rack inserted into the tub, the whole drainage rack is raised with respect to a second orientation of the drainage rack inserted into the tub, wherein the drainage rack includes matching recesses or upwardly directed bulges such that, in the first orientation, the drainage rack rests on supports and, in the second orientation, the supports lie beside the matching recesses or bulges of the drainage rack.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the supports are designed as bulges in the tub wall.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the tub comprises an outlet opening.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The device as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that the outlet opening is closed or opened.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The device as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that the outlet opening is designed as an overflow.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The device as claimed in claim 5, characterized in that the overflow is designed to be removable.

### Claim 7 (depends on 3)

The device as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that the outlet opening is arranged in a transition region between the tub base and the tub wall of the tub, in particular centrally with respect to a tub side.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The device as claimed in claim 7, characterized in that one tub side is of convex design with respect to a horizontal cross section of the tub, in particular in the region of the outlet opening.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the tub has shape-stabilizing structures on the tub base.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The device as claimed in claim 9, characterized in that the structures are designed as bulges in the base.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the tub is formed from plastic.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the supports are bulges in the tub wall, wherein the bulges in the tub are substantially congruent in design with respect to indentations of the drainage rack such that in the second orientation, the indentations of the drainage rack fit over the bulges of the tub.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the supports are designed as bulges in the tub base.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the supports are bulges in the tub base, wherein the bulges in the tub are substantially congruent in design with respect to indentations of the drainage rack such that in the second orientation, the indentations of the drainage rack fit over the bulges of the tub.
