Benefits of technology

[0017] According to the present invention, the dish rack can be more efficiently used in utilization of space since wide, flat tableware products such as dishes can be placed on the dish rack in a stand-up position at a desired location.
[0018] Further, since the dish receiving member is detachably mounted on the dish rack for receiving tableware products such as dishes, dishes can be placed at a desired location of the dish rack, and the number of the dish receiving member can be properly selected according to the number of dishes to be placed, such that the dish rack can be more efficiently used in utilization of space.

Problems solved by technology

If wide, flat tableware products such as dishes are placed on the dish rack in a laid down position, they take much space in the dish rack, such that desired number of tableware products cannot be accommodated.
Therefore, the space of the dish rack cannot be efficiently used since other tableware products cannot be placed between the dish receiving tines even when dishes are not placed between the dish-receiving tines.
