Abstract: An accessory system for a sink basin includes a support structure and an accessory. The support structure includes two or more spaced-apart elongated supports. The elongated supports are configured to support the accessory within the basin at different heights above a bottom of the basin.

Abstract: An extendible dish drain rack comprising a plurality of bases designed to assemble in a particular sequence; the front of the second and each subsequent base designed to overlap the rear of the preceding base with a short overlap. A lip for overlapping a sink is provided at the front of the first. A first fastener is located at the front of each second and subsequent base. A second fastener is located at each rear. The fasteners are designed to mate with each other, prevent slippage and allow for disassembly of the bases. Each base also incorporates a device for inclining the bases. This creates an angle of inclination in the assembly sufficient to efficiently drain water. There are typical supports for supporting dishes in a water draining configuration on the top surface of each base. Preferably the device for inclining the bases is a foot or leg located under the rear of each base. Preferably one fastener is a slot and the second fastener is a tab which loosely fit to each other.

Abstract: A display tray is adjustable for receiving and displaying differently sized plates and bowls. The tray includes a bottom wall, a pair of side walls connected thereto by living hinges such that the side walls can be moved to different angular positions, and a front wall. The bottom wall and side walls are further provided with rib elements which engage the plates and act as frictional treads to prevent the plates and bowls from tipping over. In order to maintain the side walls in the desired angular position a comb-like partition having a plurality of teeth is provided. The partition extends through slots in the side walls so that the side walls can be snapped in between any two adjacent teeth. To further maintain the side walls in the desired angular position wire rods are provided having front bent ends which are adapted to be inserted into receptacles which are provided on the inner surface of the front wall.

Abstract: A kitchenware drying rack comprising a central frame, which has outwardly extending arms for holding kitchenware, mounted on a base adapted to rest on a flat surface adjacent a sink basin, and a platform that connects with the base lower end and extends downwardly into the sink basin to stabilize the rack and prevent its tipping.

Abstract: The present invention provides a drainboard for draining excess water from wet kitchenware into a sink set into a countertop in alternate corner and conventional installations. The drainboard preferably comprises an essentially planar member having a major portion and a sidewall portion to collect excess water on the top surface of the major portion. The planar member is pivoted about the drain and located on opposite transverse sides of the sink with the drain positioned over the sink. The outer periphery of the planar member, preferably formed by the sidewall portion, divides the planar member into a rear section and an essentially triangular front section having a pair of opposed front sides swept back from the drain to the rear section, preferably at an angle of about 90 degrees, to minimize the obstruction of the sink when the drain is positioned over the sink.

Abstract: A drainer for drying kitchen and other utensils has two spaced supports (10, 11), and a horizontally extending shelf (12) for supporting kitchen utensils to be dried. The shelf has longitudinal grooves (36, 38) in its top surface (24) to collect water dripping from kitchen utensils. The top surface (24) of the shelf (12) slopes downwardly lengthwise between a point (A) located intermediate the ends of the shelf (12) and its ends. The longitudinal grooves (36, 38) terminate over a pair of troughs (48, 50) which are provided adjacent to, and below each respective line (L) of intersection of the opposite ends of the shelf (12) and a respective pair of partition walls (66L, 66R). The troughs (48, 50) have downwardly inclined bottoms (52, 54) for channeling water to sink.

Abstract: A platform for a dish rack (or separate dishes) wherein a leveling plate is used as a support surface. Water drains from the dishes through holes in the leveling plate, then onto a sloped floor within the platform. The floor is raised above the lower edge of the platform to provide clearance with respect to the rim area of a kitchen sink.

Abstract: An adjustable storage rack is provided which includes a base member securable to a supporting surface by screws which has a longitudinal channel in an upper surface to slidingly receive vertical support members. Any number of support members can be used to customize the storage space of the rack so that it can hold bakeware and other items in a vertical manner. The support members are held in the channel by opposed flanges above a bottom surface of the channel and when items are placed on the rack, the support members, being resilient, bend slightly, thus locking the supports in selected positions. Grooves are formed on an upper surface of the base members, perpendicular to the channel, to prevent the stored items from slipping along the upper surface.

Abstract: The present invention provides a reversible drainboard that can be used on either side of a corner sink installation. In such an installation, the sink is installed in the corner formed by a pair of orthogonally connected kitchen counters at a 45 degree angle to the lengthwise sides of the counters. The drainboard has a planar member bounded by a lengthwise, tapered sidewall having a maximum height greater than the thickness of the planar member. The planar member has an oblique front edge that forms an angle of 135 degrees with a datum line parallel to the length thereof. The drainboard is operable to be reversed between positions on either side of the sink with the oblique front edge thereof in an overlying and parallel relationship with either of the sides of the sink.

Abstract: The device has first and second opposing surfaces each including first and second planar sections. The sections of the first surface are inclined with respect to each other along a center line at an angle greater than 180.degree. and cooperate with upstanding side members to form drainage channels along the sides of the first surface. The sections of the second surface are inclined with respect to each other at an angle less than 180.degree. to form a central drainage channel in the second surface. End members support each of the surfaces at an incline relative to the horizontal. One end member has drainage ports aligned with each of the channels and a container receiving opening, connected by means of a drainage channel, to the port aligned with the drainage channel on the second surface. The first surface has members thereon for retaining dishware, silverware and galssware. When used with the first surface facing upward, the device may be used as a dish rack and/or a drain board.
