ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a new and improved draining and drying device for kitchen utensils hereinafter sometimes referred to as the draining device including a base member having a substantially rectangular bottom wall and four integral perpendicular side walls. The bottom portion of the front wall and the front portion of the bottom wall are provided with opening devices so that water dripped from utensils will flow out of opening devices into the sink, for example. An inner member is provided for insertion into the base member which is formed on all sides and the bottom with rods providing open spaces between each rod. The inner member receives the kitchen materials which have been washed and are inserted to dry. In one embodiment the inner member includes a small rectangular device having multiple small openings for water to drop out which can be used to receive small utensils such as knives, forks, spoons, etc. The portion of the rear wall of the base member is provided with hinge devices to attach the draining device to the kitchen wall and permit the draining device to be rotated up to the wall with latch devices to releasably attach the top of the front wall of the base member. In this manner the draining device of the present invention is releasably secured away from the sink.
