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.
