CARRIE S. BAIRD, OF BRISBIN, PENNSYLVANIA.

DISH-DRAINER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 499,951, dated June 20, 1893. Application filed January 26, 1893. Serial No. 459,851. (No model.)

Be it known thatI, CARRIE S.BAIRD,a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Brisbin, in the county of Olearfield and State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Dish-Drainers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to, the accompanying v drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in dish-drainers.

The object of the invention is to provide a dish-drainer which is adapted to sit within a pan and support crockery, such as cups, saucers and plates, so that they may be drained after being washed; and it consists in the drainer hereinafter fully set forth and specifically pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a drainer constructed in accordance with myinvention,showing the same in position. Fig. 2 is a sectional view.

A designates a pan in which the dishdrainer B is placed.

The drainer is provided on its under side with legs a a which are adapted to hold the perforated base-plate b a short distance above the bottom of the pan. The upper side of the perforated base-plate is provided with upwardly projecting stops, 0 c, which may be formed of wire. Near the outer edge of the perforated base-plate are located upwardly projecting standards 0 O and D D, which are connected by cross-bars as shown. The standards D D are taller than the other standards, and beneath thecross-bar thereof is attached a horizontal trough or tray, E, having upturned edges, as shown.

In practice the drainer hereinbefore described is placed so that the legs will rest upon the bottom of the pan, and such articles as cups, small bowls, &c., are placed to rest upon the trough E, while plates and dishes can be stacked to rest against the cross-bars of the supports 0 O,their lower edges bearing against the stops 0 c preventing them slipping.

The trough E is perforated, and may be provided at its center with a support.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In combination with a pan or receptacle A,a dish drainer, consisting of a perforated plate having supporting legs and uprights C C and D D, the upper ends of the uprights being connected by cross-bars which form rests or supports for the dishes, together with a perforated trough E supported at its ends by the uprights D D and centrally by a leg, substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.

2. In combination with a pan or receptacle A, a dish-drainer consisting of a perforated plate having supporting legs secured to the under side thereof, stops 0 c secured to the upper side of the plate, together with uprights-G O and D D with cross-bars forming rests or supports for the dishes, the taller u prights supporting a trough with upturned side edges, substantially as shown.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CARRIE S. BAIRD.
