Abstract: A rack, adapted for drying heat-sensitive items such as textiles 14 or photographic materials, is made collapsible by providing an inflatable peripheral frame 10 which is secured to a peripheral edge of a netting 12, the netting being pulled taut when the frame is inflated. An impermeable liner 36 is also coupled to an interior edge of the frame 10, in order to collect any water or other liquid which drips through the netting or otherwise passes from the item to be dried. A drain 38 can be provided in the liner, to facilitate removal of collected liquid without having to move the rack. After deflation, the entire unit can be rolled into a cylinder for easy storage.
