Abstract

A dish drying rack includes a basin, a side bay pivotally connected with the basin for movement about a side bay pivot axis, and a plate rack pivotally connected with the basin for movement about a plate rack pivot axis. The basin includes a basin floor. The side bay moves between a collapsed position and an extended position. The side bay includes a side bay floor. When the side bay is in the extended position, the side bay floor is positioned with respect to the basin such that water drains from the side bay floor toward and onto the basin floor. The plate rack pivot axis is transverse to the side bay pivot axis. The plate rack is movable between an upright position and a flattened position.
