UNlTED STTS HAYDEN C. SNODDY,

OF HOUSTON,

DISH DRIER.

Application filed February 14, 1921. Serial No. 444,811.

'the kitchen sink or drain board, or when provided with drip pan upon any convenient part of the wall.

The invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and will best be understood by reference to the accompanying specification and in which Fig. 1 is a perspective view, Fig. 2 a front elevation, Fig. 3 an end view, Fig. 1 an inner wire member, Fig. 5 a front wire member for separating plates, dishes or whatever may be placed in the drier, Fig. 6 represents one of the transverse supporting bars of the frame of which Fig. 7 is a cross section at A B of Figure 6, Fig. 8 is an elevation of the back and end supporting bars, and Figure 9 shows the device in folded or collapsed position.

A preferred form of construction is illustratcd in the drawings and comprises two round iron frame members 9, of a general quadrilateral form as shown in Figure 1. These members are fastened together by two cross bars 10, at the front and one cross bar 10 at the top. Said frame members t snugly in the end notches 15 in the ends of bars 10, 10 and are turnable therein. 1n Figure 6 there is shown a separate view of one of the bars 10 and a cross section thereof, on the line A--B is shown in Figure 7. These bars are preferably made of galvanized sheet met-al in the form of angle irons and the bars 1() are provided with holes 13 thro-ugh one of the flanges of the bars as shown in Figure 7. The frame is strengthened farther by two back members 11, one of which is shown separately in Fig. 8. rIhese members t into recesses 18 at the back, Fig. 1 and their front arms are each provided with a hook 21, Fig. S which is caused to clasp the member 9 at its front edge by bending inwardly until it passes behind the front bar 9 when they are vpermitted to spring back thus giving rigidity to the whole frame by tensioning the transverse bars 10. The wire members 13 are held suspended from the top transverse support 10 by the hooks 22 shown in Fig. 5 which engage holes in same and thence pass through corresponding holes in the lower transverse members or supports 10. The inner separating wires 14 are looped at the top over members 13 and their lower portions pass through holes in bars 12 in line transversely with the holes in the front bars 10. The ends of these members 12 are formed with hooks 23 which hook o er, and may be readily disengaged from, the respective end arms of the members 11.

The holes through which the wires pass are suiiciently large to admit of the easy turning of the wires. members 11 are also easily removable by pressing their outer or front ends inwardly until they disengage the members 9 at their front sides and then dropping said fro-nt ends downwardly and removing said members 11 from the rear. When these members 11 have been removed the rest of the device may be forced into collapsed position and will then occupy less space in shipping. This is accomplished by swinging the front sides of the frame members 9 around in a corresponding direction, and as they swing around they will carry the corresponding front bars 10 with them, as well turned in their bearings in the bars 10 and as the wire members 13- until they reach the limit of their movement, toward the plane of the back sides of said members 9. The device cannot be completely collapsed, but the space occupied by it can be thus great/ly reduced for shipping purposes.

Fig. 2, 19 and 2O show plates etc. as they would appear in their respective compartments. v, i
