DISH DRAINER AND TRAY SYSTEM WITH COMPACT STORAGE OF THE TRAY

摘要

A dish drainer and tray system is disclosed which provides reduced space requirements for packaging, shipping, display and storage. The tray may be compacted into storage size which allows it to fit in t he drainer, thereby allowing the drainer rather than the combination to determine the space requirements. In one embodiment, the tray folds about one or more live hinges, and in a second embodiment the tray rolls and includes a closure to maintain it in the rolled position. A particularly preferred present invention also includes a detachable silverware compartment that drains directly into the sink and which can be stored with the tray in the drainer.
