Referred to as the "Stemware Saver" or "Stemsaver", this assembled device
is specifically designed to be installed in a conventional household
dishwasher for the purpose of holding or cradling one stemmed glassware
of any size or configuration in a preferred inverted orientation so as to
be properly angled for cleaning and likewise securing the glass against
inadvertent movement during the washing or rinsing cycles wherein such
movement could result in inadequate cleaning or even breakage. The
assembly is comprised of a mounting base that clamps to one of the
upright wire prongs within the dishwasher's holding rack, a swiveling
holding cradle for securing the stem of the glass, and a pivoting arm
with one end snapping onto the mounting base and the other end for the
holding cradle's attachment. The pivoting arm in connection with its
swiveling cradle provides considerable flexibility in positioning stemmed
glassware at a desired angle for washing and rinsing thereby preventing
trapped rinse water from leaving an unsightly residue. The Stemware Saver
can be folded out of the way when not in use so not to interfere with the
placement and washing of non-stemware items.
