ABSTRACT:
A collapsible rack for drying clothing and other articles is comprised of a plurality of leg members pivotally mounted on a core member and held thereon by an elastic band member which encircles them intermediate upper and lower ends. The core member is provided with a plurlity of equally spaced stop members extending radially outwardly from a central axis. The leg members are movable between collapsed positions at which each is engageable with an associated stop member and extended positions at which the rack is free standing on the lower ends of the leg members. Flexible cord material of substantially equal length extends between each successive leg memebr and is joined to the leg members at similar distances away from the core member. When the leg members are collapsed, they are substantially parallel and the cord material is limp; when extended, they are angularly disposed relative to the central axis such that the cord material is taut, thereby providing support for articles to be dried. A net may be releasably mounted to the upper ends of the leg members so as to overlie the rack and provide surface area for supporting still more articles to be dried.
