IMPROVEMENT iN DISH-DRAINERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 177,207, dated May 9,1876 application filed 7 August 6, 1874. my
To all whom it may concern:
' Be it known that I, VAsH'TI GHANDLER, of the city of Pontiac, in the county of Oakland and State of Michigan, have invented a new and Improved Dish-Rack; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in Wlll0l1+- Figure 1 is a perspective view, and Fig. 2
a transverse section.
Similar letters of reference on the accompanying drawings indicate the same parts.
This invention has for its object to provide for public use a rack fordrying crockery and household utensils, that shall combine cheapness with simplicity, and shall save the time and labor of wiping said articles, and the expense of cloths or wiping-towels.
To these ends the invention consists in the employment of a frame provided with inclined shelves, ofsuitable material, arranged one above the other, and decreasing in width from the bottom to the top shelf, in combina' tion withuprights or slats set in or fastened to said shelves at suitable distances apart to I allow the insertion of the plates, crockery, or utensils" to be dried, each shelf being provided near its lower edge with a longitudinal groove or channel, adapted to collect the drip from the articles and convey it away through suitable pipes opening into said channels, as hereinafter more fully set forth.
cles to be dried. The slats D are vertical,
and form the back of the rack. The slats D are at an angle to the slats D, owing to the .varyin g width of the shelves; hence it will be seen that the rack is adapted for drying articles of different sizes, the lower shelves accommodating the largerarticles and the upper ones those of smaller size, such as saucers, &c. E E are pipes inserted in the shelves A in line with each other, their upper ends opening into the channels 0, anditheir lower ends terminating near the upper surface of the next shelf below. By this means the drip from the dishes or utensils is first collected by the channels 0 and conveyed thence through the pipes E to a suitable receptacle atthebot- 'tom of the rack, and the drip from the articles on the upper shelves is prevented from falling upon those on theshelves below. The rack is to be' constructed with or without doors, as preferred. It the latter are em-.
ployed I secure suitable boxes to their inner sides for the reception of cutlery, &c. The
whole rack may be constructed very cheaply,
and its use will save much time, labor, and
expense.
I am aware that shelves graduated with regard to their widths have heretofore been employed in racks for drying dishes of differ.
ent'sizes, and I therefore lay no claim, broadly, to such graduated shelves in dish-racks.
I claim as my invention- The inclined shelves A A, decreasing uniformly in width from bottom to top, and hav-,
ing the longitudinal grooves G O, and driptubes E E, in combination with the inclined slats D and vertical slats D, the whole being constructed and arranged in the manner. and
for the purpose set forth.
