ABSTRACT:
A drainer for drying kitchen and other utensils has two spaced supports (10, 11), and a horizontally extending shelf (12) for supporting kitchen utensils to be dried. The shelf has longitudinal grooves (36, 38) in its top surface (24) to collect water dripping from kitchen utensils. The top surface (24) of the shelf (12) slopes downwardly lengthwise between a point (A) located intermediate the ends of the shelf (12) and its ends. The longitudinal grooves (36, 38) terminate over a pair of troughs (48, 50) which are provided adjacent to, and below each respective line (L) of intersection of the opposite ends of the shelf (12) and a respective pair of partition walls (66L, 66R). The troughs (48, 50) have downwardly inclined bottoms (52, 54) for channeling water to sink. A pair of slits (44, 45) are adjacent the opposite ends of the shelf and the partition walls to establish communication of the top surface (24) of the shelf with the troughs (48, 50), whereby water is steadily and smoothly removed from the shelf without splashing. The drainer is placed over and straddles the rear of the sink (20) and the faucet (90) so as to leave the faucet and space above the sink free.
