Abstract:

An extensible dishwasher rack arrangement has a rail on each side of the dishwasher tub and a dish support rack which has on each side thereof a pair of rollers straddling the rail for supporting the rack as the rack is pulled into a position extending from the tub. Rigid pins project sidewise from the rack to bump the rail and prevent the rack from being lifted in front. An end cap on the outboard end of the rail provides a bumper to stop the rack in its extended position. The end cap includes an integral latch finger which blocks one of the rigid pins to prevent lifting the rack front in its extended position. The latch finger may be flexed out of the way of the blocked pin to facilitate removal of the rack from the rail.
