  • Patent number: 6179134
    Abstract: An expandable dish rack contains a drawer-like tray within and in the bottom of the dish rack. Water from dishes on the dish rack drains through frontal slots in the downwardly slanted floor into the tray. If additional dish space is required, the tray is drawn outwards, acting as an extended dish rack and a drainage board. In this position water drains through the same frontal slots and collects in the tray. The floor slots in the dish rack permit water drainage only into the tray whether the tray is in its outward or withdrawn position. The spaced apart ridges on the tray keep dishes above the collected water on the bottom surface of the tray. The tray is removable and the water is expelled therefrom.
