Abstract

A device for supporting objects for drying. This device contains a catch basin, for receiving fluid that drips off of these drying objects. Attached to the catch basin is a multi-part rack, wherein each part has a front end and a back end. The back end of each part of the multi-part rack is rotatably supported within the catch basin. In addition, there is also a complementary rack. This complementary rack is rotatably attached to the catch basin and extends in a substantially upright or vertical position. Both the multi-part rack and the complementary rack are comprised of a series of parallel extending slats that are spaced apart from each other to receive a plate between these parallel extending slats. These parallel extending slats are also designed to support a series of pots on either the multi-part rack or the complementary rack wherein these parallel extending slats allow water to drip down through the slats and into the catch basin.
