A DRYING RACK

摘要

In one embodiment now described, there is provided a rack (100), comprising a pair of cantilevered support frames (110) and a pair of legs (130) in an A-frame configuration. The cantilevered support frames (110) include a plurality of tubular support members (106), shown in a form of rungs. While the support members (106) are shown as rungs in figure 1, it is envisaged that they could be configured in a multitude of various shapes and sizes. The support frames (110) are moveable relative to the legs (130) between a receiving condition, in which the legs (130) are configured to stably support the support frames (110) to present the support members (106) in a position suitable for recieving items to be dried, and a collapsed condition in which the rack (100) is configured for convenient storage or transport or both. The support members (106) are heated by means of a plurality of electrical heating elements (300) in the form of a multi-stranded double insulated wire element disposed with the hollow tubular support members (106). The heating elements (300) are powered by electrical power which is fed into the rack (100) by means of a plug (200) and an electrical cord (210). The heating elements (300) serve to heat the support members (106), to facilitate drying of items which are supported by the support members (106).
