Abstract
A rack for dishes in a dishwasher comprises a grid for supporting the dishes and an element mounted to the grid for pivoting towards and away from the grid. The rack also includes elastic cords and a latch mechanism for arresting the element. The elastic cords are mounted in the element to be engaged, yielding against the dishes supported in the rack by pivotal movement of the element towards the grid. The latch mechanism arrests the element in different pivoted positions with the elastic cords stretched against the dishes.
